QUEBEC CITY--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Devonian Health Group Inc. ("Devonian" or the "Corporation") (TSXV: GSD; OTCQB: DVHGF) announced that it is amending its articles of amalgamation (the "Amended Articles"), in accordance with the approval by the shareholders at the Annual General and Special Meeting held on February 20, 2024.



Devonian currently has one class of shares listed on the TSX Venture Exchange (the "Exchange"): the subordinate voting shares (the "Subordinate Voting Shares") which carry one vote per share. The Amended Articles will: (i) create a new class of shares, consisting of an unlimited number of common shares (the "Common Shares") which will carry one vote per share, (ii) convert each issued and outstanding Subordinate Voting Share into Common Shares, and (iii) after giving effect to the above-mentioned, repeal the following classes of shares of the Corporation and the rights, privileges, restrictions and conditions attached:

  1. an unlimited number of Multiple Voting of the Corporation;
  2. an unlimited number of Exchangeable Voting Shares of the Corporation; and
  3. an unlimited number of Subordinate Voting Shares of the Corporation.

(collectively, the "Reclassification").

The Reclassification is expected to take effect on October 10, 2024. All Subordinate Voting Shares are expected to be delisted from the Exchange prior to the opening of markets on October 10, 2024, while the Common Shares are expected to trade on the Exchange at the opening of markets on October 10, 2024, under the current symbol "GSD". Following the Reclassification, the shareholders of the Subordinate Voting Shares will not need to take any action to receive the Common Shares.

In addition, all security-based plans of the Corporation will cover Common Shares of the Corporation as of the Reclassification date.

Resignation of the Interim Chief Financial Officer

The Corporation also announced the resignation of Ms. Colette Laurin as Interim Chief Financial Officer of the Corporation, effective January 5, 2025, to pursue personal interests. The Corporation would like to thank Ms. Laurin for her tireless efforts and valuable contributions throughout her term and wishes her much success in her future endeavors. The Corporation has begun a process to find a replacement for Ms. Laurin.
