nucana plc announces annual report release and upcoming agm

NuCana plc (NASDAQ:NCNA), a pharmaceutical company based in Edinburgh currently trading at $1.80 per share with a market capitalization of $151 million, has published its 2024 UK Annual Report and announced its Annual General Meeting (AGM) scheduled for June 27, 2025. This information was disclosed in a recent SEC filing. According to InvestingPro analysis, the company maintains a strong liquidity position with more cash than debt on its balance sheet.

The report, covering the fiscal year ending December 31, 2024, provides insights into the company’s financial performance and strategic initiatives over the past year. Despite challenging market conditions, the stock has shown resilience with a 43% gain year-to-date, though InvestingPro data indicates an overall weak financial health score of 1.65. In conjunction with the report, NuCana has distributed a notice of the AGM to its ordinary shareholders, along with a form of proxy.

Citibank, N.A., acting as the depositary bank for NuCana’s American Depositary Shares (ADSs), has begun mailing voting materials to ADS holders. These materials allow holders of record as of May 29, 2025, to instruct the depositary on how to vote the ordinary shares represented by their ADSs. However, the ability to execute these voting instructions may be influenced by practical and legal constraints, and ADS holders might not receive the materials in time to submit their instructions promptly.

The notice materials mailed to ADS holders include a link to NuCana’s website, where the AGM notice and the UK Annual Report can be accessed and downloaded. This ensures that all shareholders have the necessary information to participate in the upcoming meeting.

This announcement was made as part of a press release statement, and further details can be found in the attached exhibits of the SEC filing.
