TORONTO, Dec. 22, 2023 /CNW/ - Symetryx Corporation ("Symetryx"), a Canadian venture company, is pleased to announce that the shareholders of Check-Cap Ltd. (NASDAQ: CHEK) voted overwhelmingly to elect all the director nominees proposed by Symetryx at the Annual General Meeting held on December 18^th  2023. The CHEK shareholders, amongst other matters, voted overwhelmingly not to approve the proposed merger with Keystone Dental.

Barry R. Shiff, President of Symetryx, commented, "as one of the largest shareholders of Check-Cap, we are grateful for the support we received from our fellow shareholders. Despite facing many challenges, we prevailed. We believe, as many of our fellow shareholders do, that there is tremendous upside potential at CHEK. We encourage the newly constituted Board to identify a more appropriate merger candidate."
