Filing Summary: Hyzon Motors Inc. is convening a reconvened Special Meeting of Stockholders to be held virtually on March 25, 2025, to approve three main proposals: the Assignment for the Benefit of Creditors, the liquidation and dissolution of the Company, and potential adjournments of the meeting to solicit additional proxies if needed. This follows previous adjournments due to a lack of sufficient valid proxies. The Board believes that liquidating and dissolving the company, along with transferring assets, is the best option for maximizing value for creditors and stockholders. The document details the necessity for stockholder approval according to Delaware law for any assignment of assets or company dissolution. The new record date for voting is set for February 28, 2025. Stockholders are encouraged to participate and vote their shares in favor of the proposals, as the Series A Preferred Stock has been issued to secure support for these actions if voting thresholds are met. Following the dissolution approval, the company's stock and warrants will be delisted from Nasdaq. The summary highlights the essential parts of the proxy statement and emphasizes the importance of stockholder involvement in the decision-making process regarding the company's future.
