MDxHealth Announces the Approval by its
Shareholders of the Proposed Transition to a Sole Listing of Shares
on Nasdaq, and Details of the Share Consolidation
IRVINE, CA, and HERSTAL,
BELGIUM – November 6, 2023 – MDxHealth SA (NASDAQ/Euronext
Brussels: MDXH) (the "Company" or "mdxhealth"), a commercial-stage
precision diagnostics company, today announces that the
extraordinary general shareholders' meeting of the Company that was
held on November 3, 2023 ("EGM") approved the proposed transition
from a dual listing of the Company's American Depositary Shares
(the "ADSs") on Nasdaq and ordinary shares (the "Shares") on
Euronext Brussels to a sole listing of Shares on Nasdaq (the
"Transaction"), as well as the share consolidation with respect to
all outstanding Shares by means of a 1-for-10 reverse stock split
(the "Share Consolidation"). As a result, the Company can now start
implementing the Transaction and Share Consolidation, as further
outlined below.
Approval of the Transaction
The Company announced on October 2, 2023, that
its board of directors had determined that it is in the best
interest of the Company, its investors and other stakeholders to
consolidate all trading of the Company's securities on one exchange
in the United States. The Transaction involves (1) the Share
Consolidation, after which ten existing Shares will be represented
by one new Share, and each ADS will represent one new Share,
(2) listing the Shares on Nasdaq, (3) a mandatory
exchange under the Company's ADS facility as a result of which ADS
holders will receive Shares in exchange for their ADSs on the basis
of a ratio of one ADS for one Share (the "Mandatory ADS Exchange"),
(4) a repositioning of the Shares from the Euronext Brussels
trading system to the Nasdaq trading system, and (5) following
a transition period of at least three weeks after the Mandatory ADS
Exchange (the "Transition Period"), the de-listing of the Shares
from listing and trading on Euronext Brussels (the "De-Listing").
The implementation of the Transaction was still subject to the
approval by the Company's shareholders of the Share Consolidation
and the De-Listing. On November 3, 2023, the EGM approved the Share
Consolidation and the De-Listing, as well as the proposed technical
amendments to the Company's articles of association to allow for
the De-Listing.
Expected timeline for implementation of
the Transaction
In view of the approval by the EGM, the Company
will now start implementing the Transaction in accordance with the
following expected timeline:

The Company will update the timeline throughout
the implentation process, and inform its shareholders and other
stakeholders accordingly. Furthermore, as the implementation
process progresses, the Company intends to further communicate on
each relevant step.
Details of the Share
Consolidation
As first step of the Transaction, the Company
will now start with implementing the approved Share Consolidation
with respect to all of the Company's outstanding Shares by means of
a 1-for-10 reverse stock split.
Simultaneous and automatic implementation of the
Share Consolidation
Pursuant to the Share Consolidation, all
existing Shares of the Company will be consolidated into a new and
reduced number of Shares at the ratio of one (1) new Share (ISIN
BE0974461940) for ten (10) existing Shares (ISIN BE0003844611).
The last trading day of the existing Shares
(ISIN BE0003844611) on the regulated market of Euronext Brussels
will be November 13, 2023. The first trading date of the new Shares
(ISIN BE0974461940) on the regulated market of Euronext Brussels
will be November 14, 2023.
The Share Consolidation will be carried out
simultaneously for all outstanding Shares, so that after the
completion of the Share Consolidation each new Share will represent
the same fraction of the Company's share capital. All new Shares
after the completion of the Share Consolidation will have the same
rights and benefits, and will rank pari passu in all respects,
including as to entitlements to dividends and other distributions.
The Share Consolidation will not affect the form of the outstanding
Shares (dematerialised or registered) and the outstanding
registered and dematerialised Shares will be processed separately.
The Share Consolidation will be implemented automatically, without
the need for shareholders to take any steps whatsoever.
Consolidation and sale of fractions of new
Shares resulting from the Share Consolidation
The Share Consolidation might give rise to the
appearance of fractions if prior to the Share Consolidation a
shareholder does not hold a number of existings Shares which
corresponds to a multiple of ten (10). In that case, the number of
new Shares that will be held by that shareholder will be rounded
down to the lower whole number.
No fractions of new Shares will be issued as a
result of the Share Consolidation.
Instead, any fractions of Shares which might
appear as a result of the Share Consolidation will be aggregated by
KBC Securities, which has been appointed by the Company for this
purpose and which will be instructed to sell the new Shares
resulting from the aggregation of fractions on Euronext Brussels.
The proceeds of such sale will be distributed in cash on a pro rata
basis to the holders of existing Shares that do not have a
sufficient number of existing Shares to be consolidated into whole
new Shares, provided that the proceeds shall not be less than one
euro cent (EUR 0.01) per old Share. If the proceeds are less
or cannot be distributed on a pro rata basis as aforementioned, the
proceeds will accrue to the Company. The relevant transaction costs
and expenses (including commissions, fees and expenses of agents
and advisors) and applicable taxes, all as applicable, will be
borne by the Company.
In view thereof, shareholders that do not hold a
number of existing Shares corresponding to a multiple of ten (10)
may opt to do any of the following:
- They can sell or purchase existing
Shares so that, by close of trading on Euronext Brussels on
November 13, 2023, they hold a number of existing Shares that is a
multiple of ten (10). Shareholders wishing to engage in sale or
purchase transactions should contact their financial intermediaries
or custodians to obtain further information with respect to the
deadlines to execute such sale or purchase transactions, as well as
any transaction costs and taxes applicable to such sale or purchase
transactions and which they will have to bear themselves.
- Shareholders can also do nothing,
in which case they could be allocated, as the case may be, the
proceeds of the sale of the new Shares into which the fractions of
old Shares have been aggregated, as outlined above.
Timeline for the Share Consolidation
The Share Consolidation, as described above, is
expected to be implementated as follows:

Consolidation (ISIN BE0003844611)
