EXTRAORDINARY GENERAL MEETING OF SHAREHOLDERS

November 14, 2024

PROXY STATEMENT

GENERAL

The board of directors (the “Board of Directors”) of Apollomics Inc. (the “Company”) is soliciting proxies for the extraordinary general meeting of shareholders (the “Meeting”) of the Company to be held on November 14, 2024, at 10:00 a.m., Eastern Standard Time, conducted solely online via live webcast at www.virtualshareholdermeeting.com/APLM2024SM or at any adjournment or postponement thereof.

PURPOSE AND OVERVIEW OF THE REVERSE SHARE SPLIT 

Our primary objective in effectuating the Reverse Share Split would be to attempt to raise the per-share trading price of our shares to continue our listing on the Nasdaq Stock Market. To maintain listing, the Nasdaq Stock Market requires, among other things, that our class A ordinary shares (the “Class A Ordinary Shares”) maintain a minimum closing bid price of $1.00 per share. On the Record Date, the closing price for our Class A Ordinary Shares on the Nasdaq Stock Market was $0.1368 per share.

On January 16, 2024, we received a deficiency letter from The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”) notifying the Company that, for the last 30 consecutive business days, the bid price for the Company’s Class A Ordinary Shares had closed below the minimum bid price for continued inclusion on the Nasdaq Stock Market pursuant to Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2) (the “minimum bid price rule”). In accordance with Nasdaq rules, the Company was provided an initial period of 180 calendar days, or until July 15, 2024, to regain compliance. Under the Nasdaq rules, companies may be eligible for an additional 180 calendar day compliance period and Nasdaq granted the Company an extension until January 13, 2025 to regain compliance. If the Company does not regain compliance with the minimum bid price rule by January 13, 2025 and is not eligible for an additional compliance period, Nasdaq will provide written notification to the Company that our Class A Ordinary Shares may be delisted.

Our Board is seeking shareholder approval of the Reverse Share Split in order to have the authority to effectuate the Reverse Share Split as a means of increasing the share price of our Class A Ordinary Shares at or above $1.00 per share in order to avoid further action by Nasdaq, in the event we are not able to satisfy the minimum bid price requirement in adequate time before the deadline. We expect that the Reverse Share Split would increase the bid price per share of our Class A Ordinary Shares above the $1.00 per share minimum price, thereby satisfying this listing requirement. However, there can be no assurance that the Reverse Share Split would have that effect, initially or in the future, or that it would enable us to maintain the listing of our Class A Ordinary Shares on the Nasdaq Stock Market. The proposed Reverse Share Split is not intended to be an anti-takeover device.

In addition, we believe that the low per-share market price of our Class A Ordinary Shares impairs its marketability to, and acceptance by, institutional investors and other members of the investing public and creates a negative impression of the Company. Theoretically, decreasing the number of Class A Ordinary Shares outstanding should not, by itself, affect the marketability of the shares, the type of investor who would be interested in acquiring them or our reputation in the financial community. In practice, however, many investors, brokerage firms and market makers consider low-priced stocks or shares as unduly speculative in nature and, as a matter of policy, avoid investment and trading in such stocks or shares. Moreover, the analysts at many brokerage firms do not monitor the trading activity or otherwise provide coverage of lower-priced stocks or shares. The presence of these factors may be adversely affecting, and may continue to adversely affect, not only the price of our Class A Ordinary Shares but also its trading liquidity. In addition, these factors may affect our ability to raise additional capital through the sale of our Class A Ordinary Shares.

3

We also believe that a higher share price could help us attract and retain employees and other service providers. We believe that some potential employees and service providers are less likely to work for a company with a low share price, regardless of the size of the company’s market capitalization. If the Reverse Share Split successfully increases the per-share price of our Class A Ordinary Shares, we believe this increase would enhance our ability to attract and retain employees and service providers. Further, the Reverse Share Split together with the Authorised Share Capital Increase will result in additional authorised and unissued shares becoming available for general corporate purposes as the Board may determine from time to time, including for use under its equity compensation plans.

We believe that the decrease in the number of shares of our outstanding share capital because of the Reverse Share Split, and the anticipated increase in the price per share, would possibly promote greater liquidity for our shareholders with respect to their shares. However, liquidity may be adversely affected by the reduced number of shares that would be outstanding if the Reverse Share Split is effected, particularly if the price per share of our Class A Ordinary Shares begins a declining trend after the Reverse Share Split is effectuated.

There can be no assurance that the Reverse Share Split would achieve any of the desired results. There also can be no assurance that the price per share of our Class A Ordinary Shares immediately after the Reverse Share Split would increase proportionately with the Final RS Ratio, or that any increase would be sustained for any period of time.

We believe the Reverse Share Split is the most likely way to assist the share price in reaching the minimum bid level required by the Nasdaq Stock Market, although effecting the Reverse Share Split cannot guarantee that we would be in compliance with the minimum bid price requirement for even the minimum ten-day trading period required by the Nasdaq Stock Market. Furthermore, the Reverse Share Split cannot guarantee we would be in compliance with the market capitalization, net worth, shareholders’ equity or other criteria required to maintain our listing on the Nasdaq Stock Market. If our shareholders do not approve the Reverse Share Split and our share price does not otherwise increase to greater than $1.00 per Class A Ordinary Share for an least ten consecutive trading days before January 13, 2025, we expect our Class A Ordinary Shares to be subject to a delisting action by Nasdaq.

If our Class A Ordinary Shares were delisted from the Nasdaq Stock Market, trading of our Class A Ordinary Shares may thereafter be conducted on the OTC Bulletin Board or the “pink sheets.” As a result, an investor may find it more difficult to dispose of, or to obtain accurate quotations as to the price of, our Class A Ordinary Shares. To relist shares of our share capital on the Nasdaq Stock Market, we would be required to meet the initial listing requirements for the Nasdaq Stock Market, which are more stringent than the maintenance requirements.

If our Class A Ordinary Shares were delisted from the Nasdaq Stock Market and the price of our Class A Ordinary Shares was below $5.00 at such time, such shares would come within the definition of “penny stock” as defined in the Exchange Act and would be covered by Rule 15g-9 of the Exchange Act. That rule imposes additional sales practice requirements on broker-dealers who sell such securities to persons other than established customers and accredited investors (generally institutions with assets in excess of $5 million or individuals with net worth in excess of $1 million or annual income exceeding $200,000 or $300,000 jointly with their spouse). For transactions covered by Rule 15g-9, the broker-dealer must make a special suitability determination for the purchaser and receive the purchaser’s written agreement to the transaction prior to the sale. These additional sales practice restrictions would make trading in our Class A Ordinary Shares more difficult and the market less efficient.

In evaluating whether to seek shareholder approval of the Reverse Share Split, our Board took into consideration negative factors associated with reverse share splits. These factors include: the negative perception of reverse share splits that investors, analysts and other stock market participants may hold; the fact that the stock or share prices of some companies that have effected reverse stock or share splits have subsequently declined, sometimes significantly, following their reverse stock or share splits; the possible adverse effect on liquidity that a reduced number of outstanding shares could cause; and the costs associated with implementing a reverse stock or share split.

Even if our shareholders approve the Reverse Share Split, our Board reserves the right not to effect the proposed Reverse Share Split in its entirety if in our Board’s opinion it would not be in the best interests of the Company or our shareholders to effect a reverse share split.
