Item 5.08 Shareholder Director Nominations.

 

On April 20, 2017, the Board of Directors of VBI Vaccines Inc. (the “Company”) scheduled its 2017 Annual General and Special Meeting of Shareholders (the “2017 Annual Meeting”) for June 22, 2017, which date is more than 30 days from the anniversary date of the Company’s 2016 Annual General and Special Meeting of Shareholders.

 

The Company has set a deadline of April 26, 2017, for the receipt of shareholder proposals submitted pursuant to Rule 14a-8 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), for inclusion in the Company’s proxy materials for the 2017 Annual Meeting, which date the Company has determined to be a reasonable time before it expects to begin to mail its proxy materials. In order to be considered timely, any such proposal must be received by the Company at its principal executive offices at 222 Third Street, Suite 2241, Cambridge, MA 02142, Attn: Secretary, no later than 5:00 p.m. Eastern Standard Time on April 26, 2017. Any such proposal must also meet the requirements set forth in the Company’s Articles (the “Articles”) and the rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) in order to be eligible for inclusion in the proxy materials for the 2017 Annual Meeting.

 

A copy of the Articles was attached as Exhibit 3.1 to our registration statement on Form F-4 (File No. 333-208761), filed with the SEC on December 23, 2015.
