Paris, March 17, 2020 – 5.45 pm CET
CARMAT (FR0010907956, ALCAR), the designer and developer of the world’s most advanced total artificial heart, aiming to provide a therapeutic alternative for people suffering from end-stage biventricular heart failure, notifies its shareholders and the financial community as a whole of the procedures for participating in and voting at its Annual Shareholders’ Meeting within the context of the ongoing coronavirus (Covid-19) epidemic.
Following the measures announced by the French government aimed at minimizing the impact of the epidemic, the Annual Shareholders’ Meeting of CARMAT, initially due to take place at the Business Center Edouard VII in the 9th arrondissement of Paris at 10 am on Monday March 30, 2020, can no longer take place in person.
This Shareholders’ Meeting will therefore now be held as a web conference at the same time, 10 am on March 30 (only in French). You will receive a link to log in to the conference via a separate release as soon as possible.
You will be able to follow the management presentation thanks to this web conference and ask any questions you may have via the web platform during the Q&A session, but online voting will not be possible during this conference.
Therefore, if you are a CARMAT shareholder and wish to vote on the resolutions, you are invited to:
• either send a proxy to the Company
• or vote by correspondence
by using the voting form available on the CARMAT website, in accordance with the terms indicated in the Notice of Meeting published in the BALO official journal on February 24, 2020.
We apologize for these changes, which are due to factors beyond our control.
All the documents pertaining to this Shareholders’ Meeting are available on request from the Company, and can also be found on its website: go to Investors / Documentation / Regulated Information and choose Shareholders’ Meeting.
