Innodata Adopts New Stockholder Rights Plan

 

NEW YORK – January 20, 2016 – INNODATA INC. (NASDAQ: INOD) today announced that its Board of Directors has adopted a stockholder rights plan to replace a prior rights plan that expired on January 13, 2016. At Innodata’s 2016 Annual Meeting of Stockholders, stockholders will be asked to vote on a proposal to approve the new rights plan. If stockholders do not approve the rights plan, the plan will terminate when the results of the meeting are certified. Otherwise, the rights plan will terminate on January 31, 2019.

 

The rights plan provides for a 20% stock ownership threshold at which rights under the plan may become exercisable, and contemplates the exemption at the request of stockholders of certain qualifying takeover offers. It is designed to assist Innodata's Board in protecting Innodata and its stockholders from takeover tactics that the Board considers abusive. The rights plan is not being adopted in response to any specific takeover proposal.

 

The rights plan and a summary of its terms will be included in a Form 8-K that Innodata will file with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
