Item 5.03. Amendments to Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws; Change in Fiscal Year.

 

On March 21, 2019, in connection with the Special Meeting in lieu of the 2019 Annual General Meeting of Shareholders (the “Special Meeting”), Constellation Alpha Capital Corp. (the “Company”) filed with the Registrar of Corporate Affairs in the British Virgin Islands the Company’s Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association. A copy of the Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association is attached to this Current Report on Form 8-K as Exhibit 3.1 and incorporated herein by reference.

On March 21, 2019, at the Special Meeting, the Company’s shareholders approved the following items: (i) an amendment (the “Extension Amendment”) to the Company’s Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association (the “Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association”) to extend the date by which the Company has to consummate a business combination (the “Extension”) for an additional six months, from March 23, 2019 to September 23, 2019 (the “Extended Date”); (ii) a proposal to re-elect (the “Director Proposal”) each of Dr. John Alexander and Mr. Kewal Handa to the Company’s board of directors, with each such director to serve until the second annual general meeting of shareholders following the Special Meeting or until his successor is elected and qualified; and (iii) a proposal to ratify the selection by the Company’s Audit Committee of Marcum LLP to serve as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2019 (the “Auditor Proposal”). The affirmative vote of at least 65% of the ordinary shares, no par value, of the Company (the “Ordinary Shares”) present in person or by proxy at the Special Meeting and voting on the Extension Amendment was required to approve the Extension Amendment, and the affirmative vote of at least a majority of the Ordinary Shares attending the Special Meeting in person or by proxy and voting on the Director Proposal and the Auditor Proposal was required for the re-election of each of the directors in the Director Proposal and to approve the Auditor Proposal.
