EXPLANATORY NOTES TO THE AGENDA
The Company's statutory board report over the financial year 2024 has been made available on the Company's website (http://www.inflarx.com) and at the Company's
The Company's annual accounts over the financial year 2024 have been made available on the Company's website (http://www.inflarx.com) and at the Company's office
address. It is proposed that these annual accounts be adopted.
The Company has never paid or declared any cash dividends on its shares, and the Company does not anticipate paying any cash dividends on its shares in the
foreseeable future. The Company intends to retain all available funds and any future earnings to fund the development and expansion of its business. Under Dutch law, the Company may only pay dividends to the extent its shareholders' equity (eigen vermogen) exceeds the sum of the Company's paid-up and called-up share capital plus the reserves required to be maintained by Dutch law or by the Company's articles of association. Subject to such
restrictions, any future determination to pay dividends will be at the discretion of the Board and will depend upon a number of factors, including the Company's results of operations, financial condition, future prospects, contractual
restrictions, restrictions imposed by applicable law and other factors the Board deems relevant. If and when the Company does intend to distribute a dividend, such dividend may be distributed in the form of cash only or shares only, through a
combination of the foregoing (cash and shares) or through a choice dividend (cash or shares), in each case subject to applicable law.
Under Dutch law, the general meeting of shareholders of the Company is, in principle, the corporate body authorized to annually appoint the external independent
auditor for the audit of the Company's annual accounts. Pursuant to a recommendation by the Company's audit committee, it is now proposed to appoint KPMG Accountants N.V. as the external independent auditor for the audit of the Company's annual
accounts for the financial year 2025.
It is proposed that the Company's directors be released from liability for the exercise of their duties during the financial year 2024. The scope of this release
from liability extends to the exercise of their respective duties insofar as these are reflected in the Company's statutory board report or annual accounts over the financial year 2024 or in other public disclosures.
The General Meeting has authorized the Board, for a period of five years following the 2024 annual general meeting of shareholders held on April 25, 2024 (the "2024 AGM"), to resolve to issue ordinary shares and/or grant rights to subscribe for ordinary shares, in each case up to the Company's authorized share capital included in its articles of association from
time to time. It is proposed that this authorization be extended to expire five years following the date of this AGM. If the resolution proposed under this agenda item 7 is passed, the proposed authorization shall replace the currently existing
The General Meeting has authorized the Board, for a period of five years following the 2024 AGM, to limit and/or exclude pre-emption rights in relation to an
issuance of, or a granting of rights to subscribe for, ordinary shares resolved upon by the Board. It is proposed that this authorization be extended to expire five years following the date of this AGM. If the resolution proposed under this
agenda item 8 is passed, the proposed authorization shall replace the currently existing authorization.
The General Meeting has authorized the Board, for a period of 18 months following the 2024 AGM, to resolve for the Company to acquire (i) fully paid-up ordinary
shares in the Company's capital (and depository receipts for such ordinary shares), by any means, including through derivative products, purchases on a stock exchange, private purchases, block trades, or otherwise, for a price which is higher
than nil and does not exceed 110% of the average market price of the Company's ordinary shares on the Nasdaq Stock Market (such average market price being the average of the closing prices on each of the five consecutive trading days preceding
the date the acquisition is agreed upon by the Company), up to 10% of the Company's issued share capital (determined as at the close of business on the date of the AGM) and/or (ii) fully paid-up preferred shares (and depository receipts for
such preferred shares) in the Company's issued share capital, to the extent permitted by applicable law, by any means, including through derivative products, purchases on a stock exchange, private purchases, block trades, or otherwise, for a
price which is higher than nil and does not exceed the nominal value of the preferred shares concerned. It is proposed that this authorization be renewed for a period of, and effectively extended to expire, 18 months following the date of this
AGM. If the resolution proposed under this agenda item 9 is passed, the proposed authorization shall replace the currently existing authorization.
The Board proposes to amend the Company's articles of association (the "Articles of Association") in order to increase
the number of ordinary shares that can be issued under the authorized share capital included in the Articles of Association. A copy of the verbatim text of the proposed amendment described below has been made available on the Company's website
and at the Company's office address in the official Dutch language together with an English translation thereof.
If agenda item 10 is adopted, each civil law notary, candidate civil law notary and lawyer of NautaDutilh N.V. will be authorized to have the deed of amendment
to the Articles of Association executed.
The Board proposes to increase the Company's authorized share capital to an amount of EUR 40,632,000, divided into 169,300,000 ordinary shares and 169,300,000
preferred shares, having a nominal value of EUR 0.12 each. This increase would put the ratio of the Company's issued share capital relative to its authorized share capital at a level consistent with market practice.
