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 Companys 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.
