Leading Proxy Advisory Firm ISS Recommends Zomedica Shareholders Vote "FOR" Proposed Reverse Stock Split

ANN ARBOR, MI / ACCESSWIRE / January 25, 2024 / Zomedica Corp. (NYSE American:ZOM) ("Zomedica" or the "Company"), a veterinary health company offering point-of-care diagnostics and therapeutic products for equine and companion animals, today announced that Institutional Shareholder Services ("ISS"), a leading independent proxy voting and corporate governance advisory firm, recommends that Zomedica Corp. shareholders vote "FOR" the proposed Share Consolidation/Reverse Stock Split detailed in the Company's definitive proxy statement filed on January 17, 2024. The Company's upcoming Special Virtual-only Meeting of Shareholders is scheduled to be held on February 28, 2024, at 1:00 pm EST.

In its report dated January 25, 2024, ISS noted that, "A vote FOR this proposal is warranted given that the reverse stock split may enable the company to maintain listing of its common stock on the NYSE American."

Larry Heaton, Chief Executive Officer of Zomedica, commented, "We are pleased that ISS recommends that our stockholders vote in favor of the reverse stock split. ISS recognizes that the reverse split will enable us to avoid delisting from the NYSE American, which we believe would adversely impact the Company's market valuation and our shareholders' liquidity. We believe that in addition the reverse split will enable Zomedica to attract a broader range of investors, draw equity research analyst interest, and be considered for inclusion in stock indices. Your vote ‘FOR' the proposal will allow us to stay focused on growing the business towards profitability while helping pets and pet parents get the best care from their veterinarians. We urge all shareholders to follow the recommendation of ISS and vote ‘FOR' the proposed reverse split today."

Zomedica's proxy and voting materials are being distributed by various parties to investors, and to brokerage firms holding shares on behalf of investors in street name. Investors are encouraged to reach out to their respective financial institutions for additional information and to obtain their proxy materials if they are not received by the end of this week.

The Zomedica Board of Directors strongly recommends that stockholders approve the Reverse Stock Split and encourages stockholders to vote as promptly as possible. Stockholders can vote by mail, Internet or telephone according to the instructions on each Internet Notice, proxy card or voting instruction card received. Proxy materials are available at https://www.meetingdocuments.com/TSXT/ZOM.

Zomedica reminds stockholders that every vote is important, no matter how many or few shares it represents. If you have already submitted a proxy, you may change your vote prior to the Special Meeting by voting again using the same materials. Only your latest dated vote counts.
