EXPLANATORY NOTE

 

On October 14, 2015, Bionik Laboratories Corp. (the “Company”) filed a Current Report on Form 8-K (the “Original Report”) to report the date of the Company’s 2015 Annual Meeting of Stockholders (the “2015 Annual Meeting”) and certain information relating to stockholder proposals.

 

This Amendment No. 1 to the Original Report amends and restates Item 5.08 of the Original Report to provide a new date for the 2015 Annual Meeting.

 

Item 5.08Shareholder Director Nominations

 

Bionik Laboratories Corp. (the “Company”) currently intends to hold its annual meeting of stockholders on Tuesday, December 29, 2015 at 10:00 a.m., to be held at the offices of the Company (the “2015 Annual Meeting”).

 

Because the Company did not hold an annual meeting in 2014, the Company is affirming the deadline for receipt of stockholder proposals submitted pursuant to Rule 14a-8 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), for inclusion in the Company’s proxy materials for the 2015 Annual Meeting.

 

The deadline for the receipt of any qualified stockholder proposals submitted pursuant to Rule 14a-8 under the Exchange Act was not later than the close of business on November 2, 2015 (which the Company believes is a reasonable time before it begins to print and distribute its proxy materials). In addition, the Board also established that any stockholder seeking to have a nominee to the Board to be included in the Company’s proxy materials for the 2015 Annual Meeting must provide notice to the Company of its intent to do so on a Schedule 14N and file that notice with the Securities and Exchange Commission on or before November 2, 2015 (which the Company believes is a reasonable time before it begins to print and distribute its proxy materials).

 

Stockholder proposals must have been received by the Company at its principal executive offices located at 483 Bay Street, N105, Toronto, ON M5G 2C9 addressed to the Secretary of the Company. All proposals must comply with applicable Delaware law, the rules and regulations promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission and the procedures set forth in the Company’s Amended and Restated Bylaws.
