Microbot Medical modifies shareholder meeting quorum

In a recent update to its corporate governance, Microbot Medical (TASE:BLWV) Inc. (NASDAQ:MBOT), whose stock has surged over 136% in the past six months and is currently trading at $2.28, has amended its by-laws to lower the quorum requirement for shareholder meetings. According to InvestingPro analysis, the stock appears to be trading above its Fair Value, with momentum indicators suggesting overbought conditions. As of Monday, the new threshold for the quorum is one-third of the votes entitled to be cast on a matter, a reduction from the previous majority requirement.

The adjustment was approved by the company’s Board of Directors and is effective immediately. The change specifically revises Section 2.5 of the by-laws, allowing for a smaller number of participating votes to constitute a quorum, unless a larger quorum is mandated by law or the company’s certificate of incorporation.

This announcement comes alongside preparations for Microbot Medical’s annual meeting of stockholders, which is slated for around June 10, 2025. The record date for determining stockholders eligible to vote at the meeting has been set for today, Tuesday, April 15, 2025.

Additionally, the company has confirmed the deadline for stockholder proposals and director nominations for the upcoming annual meeting. Proposals must be received by the close of business on April 28, 2025, and must comply with the established SEC rules and the company’s amended by-laws.
