RENNOVA HEALTH POSTPONES SPECIAL MEETING OF STOCKHOLDERS TO MAY 2, 2018
WEST PALM BEACH, Fla, April 17, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Rennova Health, Inc. (OTCQB: RNVA), (OTCQB: RNVAW) (“Rennova” or the “Company”), a vertically integrated provider of industry-leading diagnostics and supportive software solutions to healthcare providers that recently announced the acquisition of its second Rural Hospital, today announces the postponement of its Special Meeting of Stockholders to May 2, 2018 at 11:00 a.m. Eastern time at the offices of Shutts & Bowen LLP, 525 Okeechobee Boulevard, Suite 1100, West Palm Beach, FL 33401. The record date of March 12, 2018 remains unchanged. This Special Meeting was originally scheduled for April 18, 2018.
“Stockholder approval of the proposed increase in authorized common shares plus the ability to enact a reverse stock split is critical for the company going forward,” stated Seamus Lagan, President and Chief Executive Officer of Rennova adding “Should any of the company’s convertible debt or preferred stock holders elect to exercise or convert their shares, the company currently does not have sufficient shares to meet those obligations.”
“The agreements under which many of the convertible debt and preferred stock securities were issued require the company to seek an increase in the number of authorized shares of common stock to accommodate all of the possible issuances,” noted Mr. Lagan.
