Oragenics Announces Postponement of Annual Meeting of Shareholders

OGEN

Oragenics, Inc. (NYSE American: OGEN) Oragenics, Inc. (“Oragenics” or the “Company”) today announced the Company’s reconvened annual meeting of shareholders, on August 23, 2021 at 4:00 p.m. was adjourned due to a lack of quorum. The Company intends to seek approval for the proposals submitted to its shareholders at a new postponed annual meeting date when practicable. The new annual meeting date will be established by the Company and a new record date, will be set in conjunction therewith; the former record date of May 5, 2021, is no longer valid.

A quorum consists of a majority of the shares entitled to vote. There were fewer than a majority of shares entitled to vote present, either in person or by proxy at this meeting. The annual meeting of shareholders therefore had no quorum and the meeting was adjourned.
