QUEBEC CITY / Jan 19, 2024 / Business Wire / Devonian Health Group Inc. (“Devonian” or the “Corporation”) (TSXV: GSD; OTCQB: DVHGF), a clinical stage botanical pharmaceutical corporation, focused on developing a unique portfolio of botanical pharmaceutical and cosmeceutical products, is pleased to announce that during its general annual and special meeting of shareholders (the “Meeting”), which will be held virtually on February 20, 2024, the Corporation will seek the authorization of the shareholders of the Corporation (the “Shareholders”) to allow the board of directors of the Corporation (the “Board”) to consider a consolidation of the issued and outstanding subordinate voting shares of the Corporation (the “Shares”) at a ratio of one new post-consolidation Share for up to seventy (70) old pre-consolidation Shares (the “Share Consolidation”) held. The Board is seeking authority to potentially implement the Share Consolidation in the event of an opportunity if it believes that the resultant increase to the trading price of the Shares from effecting the Share Consolidation could potentially, and principally, i) broaden the pool of investors that may consider investing or be able to invest in the Corporation, and ii) enable the Corporation to satisfy certain minimum trading price requirements of U.S. and other stock exchanges for a potential listing of the Shares.

As of the record date for the Meeting, January 9, 2024, there were 146,730,531 Shares issued and outstanding. Based on the number of Shares issued and outstanding then, immediately following the completion of the Share Consolidation, for illustrative purposes only, depending on the Share Consolidation ratio selected, the number of Shares then issued and outstanding (disregarding any resulting fractional Shares) will be as follows:

Any authority of the Board to consolidate the Shares is conditional upon the prior approval of Shareholders and the TSX Venture Exchange (the “Exchange”). Following the Share Consolidation, the Corporation’s name will remain unchanged.

There is no assurance that the Board will proceed with a listing on a U.S. or other stock exchange, or that the U.S. or other stock exchange would approve a listing application by the Corporation. Additional information, including the time and instructions for virtually accessing and voting at the Meeting are available in the management information circular for the Meeting mailed to Shareholders using notice-and-access and which is also available under the Corporation’s profile on SEDAR+ www.sedarplus.ca.
