REGULATED INFORMATION
May 12, 2023, 7:00am CET / 1:00am ET

NYXOAH SA
(Euronext Brussels: NYXH)
Rue Edouard Belin 12, 1435 Mont-Saint-Guibert, Belgium
(hereinafter the “Company”)

Invitation to Attend the Annual Shareholders Meeting of the Company
to be Held on June 14, 2023

The board of directors of the Company is pleased to invite its securities holders to attend the annual shareholders’ meeting of the Company, to be held on Wednesday, June 14, 2023 at 2:00 p.m. CET at the Company’s seat, or at such other place as will be indicated prior to such time.

The Company will also set up a video conference to allow holders of securities of the Company who have duly registered for the annual shareholders’ meeting to follow the meeting remotely and ask questions, as the case may be in writing, during the meeting. The modalities to attend the meeting via video conference will be communicated to the relevant securities holders in due time. The video conference will not qualify as an electronic communication tool to attend and vote at the shareholders’ meeting as referred to in Article 7:137 of the Belgian Code of Companies and Associations, but will be an extra facility for securities holders to follow the shareholders’ meeting. Holders of securities wishing to attend the meeting via video conference and also validly vote on the items on the agenda, are invited to exercise their voting rights prior to the shareholders’ meeting by following the rules set out in this convening notice, either by voting remotely by mail, or by giving a proxy to a representative of the Company.

In order to facilitate the keeping of the attendance list on the day of the annual shareholders’ meeting, the holders of securities issued by the Company and their representatives are invited to register as from 1:30 p.m. CET.

AGENDA OF THE ANNUAL SHAREHOLDERS’ MEETING

  1. Acknowledgement and discussion of:
  1. the statutory annual accounts for the financial year ended on December 31, 2022;
  2. the consolidated financial statements for the financial year ended on December 31, 2022;
  3. the annual report of the board of directors on the statutory annual accounts for the financial year ended on December 31, 2022;
  4. the annual report of the board of directors on the consolidated financial statements for the financial year ended on December 31, 2022;
  5. the statutory auditor’s report on the statutory annual accounts for the financial year ended on December 31, 2022; and
  6. the statutory auditor’s report on the consolidated financial statements for the financial year ended on December 31, 2022.

1.      Approval of the statutory annual accounts for the financial year ended on December 31, 2022 and the proposed allocation of the result

Proposed decision: The shareholders’ meeting decides to approve the annual accounts for the financial year ended on December 31, 2022 and the allocation of the result as proposed by the board of directors.

2.      Discharge of directors

Proposed decision: The shareholders’ meeting decides to grant discharge to each of the directors who was in office during the financial year ended on December 31, 2022 (including Mr. Donald Deyo, Mr. Jan Janssen and Mr. Raymond Cohen who resigned as directors in 2022) for the performance of their mandate during that financial year.

3.      Discharge of the statutory auditor

Proposed decision: The shareholders’ meeting decides to grant discharge to the statutory auditor who was in office during the financial year ended on December 31, 2022 for the performance of his mandate during that financial year.

4.      Acknowledgement and approval of the remuneration report

Proposed decision: The shareholders’ meeting decides to approve the remuneration report.

5.      Acknowledgement and approval of the amended remuneration policy

Upon the recommendation of the remuneration committee, the board of directors proposes to amend the remuneration policy of the Company to include in the remuneration policy the justification for deviating from provision 7.12 of the 2020 Belgian Code on Corporate Governance (the “2020 Code”) which requires the board to include, in the contracts with the CEO and other members of executive management, provisions that would enable the Company to recover variable remuneration paid, or withhold the payment of variable remuneration, and specify the circumstances in which it would be appropriate to do so, insofar as enforceable by law.

The board of directors believes that this provision of the 2020 Code is not appropriate and adapted to take into account the realities of companies in the life sciences industry that are still in a development phase nor considers that it is necessary to apply claw-back provisions as (i) the pay-out of the short-term variable remuneration, based on the achievement of one or more individual objectives and one or more Company objectives as set by the board of directors, is paid only upon achievement of those objectives, and (ii) the Company does not apply any other performance-based remuneration or variable compensation.

Furthermore, the ESOP warrant plans set up by the Company contain bad leaver provisions that can result in the unexercised share options, whether vested or not, automatically and immediately becoming null and void if the agreement or other relationship between the holder and the (relevant subsidiary of the) Company is terminated for “cause”. Notwithstanding the Company’s position that warrants are not to be qualified as variable remuneration (when not depending on performance criteria), the board of directors is of the opinion that such bad leaver provisions sufficiently protect the Company’s interests and that it is therefore currently not necessary to provide for additional contractual provisions that give the Company a contractual right to reclaim any (variable) remuneration from the members of the executive management.

For those reasons, there are no contractual provisions in place between the Company and the members of the executive management that give the Company a contractual right to reclaim from said executives any variable remuneration that would be awarded.

Proposed decision: The shareholders’ meeting decides to approve the amended remuneration policy.

6.      Appointment of director

On January 8, 2023, the board of directors decided to appoint Wildman Ventures LLC (permanently represented by Mr. Daniel Wildman) on a provisional basis (“cooptation”) as a director in order to replace Mr. Raymond Cohen in accordance with Article 7:88 of the CCA and article 13 of the Company’s articles of association. Based on the information made available by Mr. Daniel Wildman, it was determined that both Wildman Ventures LLC and Mr. Daniel Wildman satisfy the applicable requirements for Wildman Ventures LLC (permanently represented by Mr. Daniel Wildman) to be appointed as an independent director in accordance with Article 7:87 of the CCA and provision 3.5 of the 2020 Belgian Corporate Governance Code. Mr. Daniel Wildman also explicitly declared that neither he nor Wildman Ventures LLC has any connections with the Company or an important shareholder, which would interfere with their independence. The board of directors recommends that the appointment of Wildman Ventures LLC (permanently represented by Mr. Daniel Wildman) as independent director be confirmed and that Wildman Ventures LLC (permanently represented by Mr. Daniel Wildman) completes Mr. Raymond Cohen’s term of office ending at the annual shareholders’ meeting to be held in 2024.

Proposed decision: The shareholders’ meeting decides to confirm the appointment of Wildman Ventures LLC, with address at 12520 Sunnydale Drive, Wellington, FL 33414, USA, and permanently represented by Mr. Daniel Wildman, as an independent director of the Company within the meaning of Article 7:87 of the CCA and provision 3.5 of the 2020 Belgian Corporate Governance Code, completing Mr. Raymond Cohen’s term of office ending at the annual shareholders’ meeting to be held in 2024. The mandate of Wildman Ventures LLC (permanently represented by Mr. Daniel Wildman) is remunerated as provided for the non-executive (independent) members of the board of directors in the Company’s remuneration policy as adopted by the shareholders meeting and as decided by the annual shareholders’ meeting of June 8, 2022.

End-to-end supply chain visibility remains elusive for Asia-Pacific logistics companies: HERE Technologies Study

APAC on the move 2023

APAC on the move 2023

  • HERE Technologies publishes inaugural study of 1,300 business decision-makers from the transportation and logistics sector across Asia-Pacific.
  • Customer benefits and financial efficiencies top of mind for companies in 2023.
  • APAC logistic firms eye drones, robotics, artificial learning and machine learning next.

SingaporeHERE Technologies, the leading location data and technology platform, today published an inaugural study, APAC On The Move, to provide insights from transportation and logistics (T&L) professionals across Asia-Pacific (APAC) on the current technology trends and practices that are shaping supply chain, fleet, and logistics management.

A key finding from APAC On The Move 2023 is the extent to which end-to-end asset tracking and shipment visibility remain a challenge for logistics companies three years since the onset of the pandemic. Nearly 90% of APAC logistics companies surveyed have cited technology implementation challenges as their biggest barrier to achieving real-time end-to-end supply chain visibility, despite the motivations to improve customer satisfaction and operational efficiency.

Home to some of the world’s largest manufacturing and exporting economies, the logistics industry in APAC plays a vital role in the global supply chain network. In recent years, T&L firms are under pressure from relentless consumer demands, changing customer expectations, and the arrival of new competition from start-ups and customer-turned-rival logistics operators.

Highlights from the HERE Technologies APAC On The Move 2023 study include:

Technology partnerships and implementations are big challenges
More than half of the firms surveyed (52%) have cited the challenge of identifying the right partners and/or suppliers as their biggest barrier to technology implementation. In mature economies like Australia and Singapore, the concern of potential disruption to existing processes and services ranked high. In India and Malaysia where the logistics industries are fragmented, knowing where to even begin with technology implementation is a concern.

Logistics companies surveyed want turn-key solutions that are easy to implement without expensive, time consuming, and labour-intensive system overhauls. According to the study by HERE, software integration challenges with existing infrastructure (52%), the lack of time to implement the solutions (39%), and high implementation costs (39%) are the main barriers to adopting logistics assets tracking and shipment/cargo monitoring solutions.

APAC logistics firms still rely on manual tracking 
The pandemic has exposed the vulnerabilities of manual interventions in the global supply chain. Yet, approximately 45% of APAC logistics firms surveyed are using asset tracking and shipment monitoring software in combination with manual inputs to track assets, shipment, and cargo.

Manual processes have a higher chance of creating gaps and vulnerabilities within supply chains, and this shows that a large number of companies still do not have a resilient infrastructure in place. Real-time and automated tracking solutions on the other hand provide opportunities to accelerate innovation and tackle disruptions promptly.

Across APAC, the Japanese logistics industry is leading the way with 70% of companies surveyed having moved to tracking assets in real-time with no manual inputs. Japan’s logistics sector is facing the looming ‘2024 Problem’ as stricter regulations – limiting truck drivers to a total of 960 hours of annual overtime work – kicks in from April 1, 2024. As the industry prepares for this impending crisis, the move to track assets in real-time is a critical step to addressing and alleviating labour shortage in Japan.

Tech investments motivated by customers first and financial benefits a close second
With intensifying competition and rising customer expectations in the region, the logistics sector wants to improve fundamental business performance indicators. The strongest motivator for adopting logistics asset tracking solutions is to increase customer satisfaction (48%).

On the other hand, APAC logistics companies are also prioritising financial benefits, such as to increase revenue (47%) and to gain competitive edge in the market (41%), when purchasing logistics asset tracking solutions.

APAC logistics industry eyeing future technologies and opportunities
The study confirms that most logistics companies in APAC are already using a form of Internet of Things (IoT) technology. IoT applications for inventory management (63%), warehouse management (61%), and order management (50%) are the most popular among logistics companies in the region.

Looking ahead, more than a quarter of logistics companies in APAC are planning to invest in drones (33%), robotics (30%), and artificial learning and machine learning (29%). These technologies have been identified by the logistics sector to seize opportunities and create lasting competitive advantage (41%), improve operational efficiency (40%), and increase customer satisfaction (39%).

Quotes

  • Regu Ayyaswamy, Senior Vice President and Global Head, Tata Consultancy Services:
    “India’s logistics sector is a critical enabler of economic growth, playing a crucial role in the seamless movement of goods and services across the country. However, the sector is rapidly evolving, and as a leading global IT services provider, TCS is committed to enabling businesses within the logistics sector to digitally transform their operations and drive growth. Our strategic partnership with HERE Technologies is a testament to this commitment. By combining HERE’s world-class location intelligence platform with DigifleetTM, TCS’ logistics solution, we are empowering businesses with real-time visibility and actionable insights.”
  • Yoshikazu Kuwamura, Head of Department, Industry Digital Transformation Dept., Mitsubishi Corporation Singapore Branch:
    “Digitalisation is key to addressing challenges and unlocking new efficiencies in today’s supply chain. However, digitalisation itself is not enough to achieve full end-to-end supply chain visibility. Collaboration across the supply chain is essential to creating more agile and resilient operations. Together with HERE, we believe in helping logistics players in APAC to leverage location intelligence and to develop best practices and more effective strategies for managing risk and uncertainty.”
  • Vivek Vaidya, Global Client Leader for Mobility, Frost & Sullivan:
    “The supply chain and logistics companies in APAC are at a different stage in evolution as far as asset tracking and shipment monitoring are concerned. On one hand companies are looking to invest in IoT, AI, and drones to improve real-time visibility and on the other hand a large number of companies are still relying on manual processes to achieve the same objective. The companies who are currently relying on manual process are likely to leapfrog to modern solutions. On the whole, the awareness about having real-time visibility on assets and cargo has gone up tremendously in the post-pandemic era and that trend is likely to continue. This underlines a strong growth potential for solution providers like HERE Technologies in this space for the next decade.”
  • William Strugger, Senior Director for Global Market Intelligence, HERE Technologies:
    “The study indicates that logistics providers – who handle road, sea, or air transportation, or oversee transportation management – are consistently challenged at implementing asset tracking solutions. Their reasons include implementation costs, integrating with existing software/infrastructure, time needed for implementation, and lack of skilled manpower. This speaks to the need for logistics providers to engage professional services to speed the implementation of in-house software development or off-the-shelf turnkey software, or offload the entire effort to system integrators or location consulting boutiques to develop a bespoke solution.”
  • Jason Jameson, Senior Vice President & General Manager for Asia-Pacific, HERE Technologies:
    “Visibility is essential in the supply chain business, and location technology is the key ingredient for building true visibility for businesses and their end customers. While it is promising to see many APAC logistics firms moved on to tracking their assets in real-time, there is still significant room for improvement, with close to half of the organisations surveyed still relying on some form of manual method for tracking. As a leading location data and technology platform, HERE Technologies plays a critical role in the logistics industry globally to not only turn real-world spatial data into a digital model for companies to utilise, but also to educate the industry on the power of location technology in optimising efficiencies and improving business operations.”

ROSEN, GLOBALLY RECOGNIZED INVESTOR COUNSEL, Encourages Marathon Digital Holdings, Inc. Investors to Secure Counsel Before Important Deadline in Securities Class Action – MARA

NEW YORK, May 11, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — WHY: Rosen Law Firm reminds purchasers of the securities of Marathon Digital Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ: MARA) between May 10, 2021 and February 28, 2023, both dates inclusive (the “Class Period”), of the important May 30, 2023 lead plaintiff deadline.

SO WHAT: If you purchased Marathon securities during the Class Period you may be entitled to compensation without payment of any out of pocket fees or costs through a contingency fee arrangement.

WHAT TO DO NEXT: To join the Marathon class action, go to https://rosenlegal.com/submit-form/?case_id=3108 or call Phillip Kim, Esq. toll-free at 866-767-3653 or email pkim@rosenlegal.com or cases@rosenlegal.com for information on the class action. A class action lawsuit has already been filed. If you wish to serve as lead plaintiff, you must move the Court no later than May 30, 2023. A lead plaintiff is a representative party acting on behalf of other class members in directing the litigation.

WHY ROSEN LAW: We encourage investors to select qualified counsel with a track record of success in leadership roles. Often, firms issuing notices do not have comparable experience, resources or any meaningful peer recognition. Many of these firms do not actually handle securities class actions, but are merely middlemen that refer clients or partner with law firms that actually litigate the cases. Be wise in selecting counsel. The Rosen Law Firm represents investors throughout the globe, concentrating its practice in securities class actions and shareholder derivative litigation. Rosen Law Firm has achieved the largest ever securities class action settlement against a Chinese Company. Rosen Law Firm was Ranked No. 1 by ISS Securities Class Action Services for number of securities class action settlements in 2017. The firm has been ranked in the top 4 each year since 2013 and has recovered hundreds of millions of dollars for investors. In 2019 alone the firm secured over $438 million for investors. In 2020, founding partner Laurence Rosen was named by law360 as a Titan of Plaintiffs’ Bar. Many of the firm’s attorneys have been recognized by Lawdragon and Super Lawyers.

DETAILS OF THE CASE: The complaint alleges that throughout the Class Period, defendants made materially false and misleading statements regarding Marathon’s business, operations, and prospects. Specifically, defendants made false and/or misleading statements and/or failed to disclose that: (1) Marathon overstated the efficacy of its disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting; (2) as a result, Marathon’s revenues and cost of revenue were materially misstated during the Class Period; (3) the foregoing, once revealed, was reasonably likely to have a material negative impact on Marathon’s financial condition; and (4) as a result, Marathon’s public statements were materially false and misleading at all relevant times. When the true details entered the market, the lawsuit claims that investors suffered damages.

To join the Marathon class action, go to https://rosenlegal.com/submit-form/?case_id=3108 or call Phillip Kim, Esq. toll-free at 866-767-3653 or email pkim@rosenlegal.com or cases@rosenlegal.com for information on the class action.

No Class Has Been Certified. Until a class is certified, you are not represented by counsel unless you retain one. You may select counsel of your choice. You may also remain an absent class member and do nothing at this point. An investor’s ability to share in any potential future recovery is not dependent upon serving as lead plaintiff.

Telesis Bio Reports First Quarter 2023 Financial Results

— Total revenue of $6.3M in 1QFY23

— BioXp® franchise revenue increased by 28%

SAN DIEGO, May 11, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Telesis Bio Inc. (NASDAQ: TBIO), a leader in automated multi-omic and synthetic biology solutions, today reported financial results for the first quarter of 2023.

“We are pleased with our company’s performance this quarter where we delivered 28% growth year over year in BioXp franchise revenue while improving gross margins and holding operating expenses steady,” said Todd R. Nelson, PhD, CEO, and founder of Telesis Bio. “We believe we are still in the early stages of adoption within our targeted workflows and our value proposition to researchers will continue to increase. Our positive results are a testament to the thoughtful planning and the steady execution of our team. We remain laser focused on operating expenses as we move towards a time where we can become a profitable company.”

  • Commercial delivery of BioXp kits incorporating oligos from our in-house proprietary oligo production operation.
  • Accomplishments to support the shipping of its first internally manufactured BioXp system in the third quarter.

The company’s expectation is that these insourcing efforts will be substantially completed by year-end and that full financial benefit will be realized in 2024.

First Quarter 2023 Financial Results

Revenue was $6.3 million for the first quarter 2023, a 12.1% increase from $5.6 million for the same period in the prior year. This growth was primarily driven by product sales from new product introductions, including the BioXp 9600.

Cost of revenue for the first quarter 2023 was $2.81 million, compared to $2.86 million for the same period in the prior year. The decrease of $0.05 million, despite the increase in revenues was primarily driven by a change in product mix with the launch of the higher margin 9600 system during the latter half of 2022, and the sale of kits with higher average margins.

Gross margin for the first quarter 2023 was 55.6%, compared to 49.3% for the same period in the prior year. The favorable change reflects the positive mix shift in revenue from recently launched products including the BioXp 9600 system, as well as new kits for mRNA, long fragment builds, and cell free DNA scale-up.

Operating expenses were $14.5 million for the first quarter 2023, compared to $15.6 million for the same period in the prior year. This decrease is primarily a result of prudent cost-cutting decisions made a year ago in Q2 2022 to focus the team on the most profitable and near-term opportunities.

Net loss was $11.1 million for the first quarter 2023, compared to a loss of $13.2 million in the same period in the prior year. Net loss per share was $0.37 for the fourth quarter of 2022, compared to $0.45 for the corresponding prior year period.

Cash and cash equivalents were $32.2 million as of March 31, 2023.

Mount Anak Krakatau erupts with 2,500-meter-high ash burst: Official

Jakarta (ANTARA) – The Center for Volcanology and Geological Hazard Mitigation (PVMBG) reported that an eruption had occurred at Mount Anak Krakatau located in the waters of the Sunda Strait, South Lampung District, Lampung Province.”Mount Anak Krakatau erupted on Friday at 9:20 local time. The height of the eruption column was observed at approximately 2,500 meters above the peak,” the Observation Post Officer of Mount Anak Krakatau Deny Mardiononoted in a statement received here, Friday. Mardiono explained that the eruption ash column looked gray, with thick intensity, towards the southwest. The eruption was recorded on a seismograph with a maximum amplitude of 70 millimeters and a duration of 42 seconds. Earlier, on Thursday (May 11), the PVMBG also recorded two eruptions at Mount Anak Krakatau that is located in Punduh Pedada Sub-district, South Lampung District. The first recorded eruption reached a height of three thousand meters above the peak at 5:19 local time. The eruption was recorded on a seismograph, with a maximum amplitude of 70 millimeters and a duration of approximately two minutes and 12 seconds, he remarked. The second eruption tended to be smaller, with a height of 1,000 meters above the peak, at 12:41 local time. The maximum amplitude was recorded at 70 millimeters and the duration was 143 seconds, he revealed. Mardiono noted that throughout Thursday, Mount Anak Krakatau was recorded to have experienced one eruption, one low-frequency earthquake, two multi-phase earthquakes, one deep volcanic earthquake, two distant tectonic earthquakes, and one continuous tremor. Until Friday, Mount Anak Krakatau was at level III or standby status that had been established since April 24, 2022. The PVMBG recommends the public, visitors, tourists, and mountaineers to not approach the volcano or conduct activities within a five-kilometer radius of the active crater.
