The applicant, Appili Therapeutics Inc., brought a motion for an interim order in connection with a proposed plan of arrangement under section 182(5) of the Ontario Business Corporations Act (OBCA).
The arrangement involved the acquisition of Appili's shares by Aditxt, Inc. through its subsidiary Adivir, Inc. The interim order sought to approve the procedure for a special meeting of shareholders to vote on the arrangement.
The court found the arrangement, negotiated by a special committee with independent advisors, provided a significant premium and included minority shareholder protections.
The court also addressed the company's continuance from the Canada Business Corporations Act (CBCA) to the OBCA, finding it transparent and without prejudice to stakeholders.
The court granted the interim order.
