An announcement from Deveron UAS ( (TSE:FARM) ) is now available.

Deveron Corp. has issued additional disclosure at the request of Ontario Securities Commission staff regarding its proposed transaction with Aqua Capital and related matters ahead of a December 30 shareholder meeting to vote on the deal and associated resolutions. The company outlined the timeline from an initial 2024 letter of intent from Aqua Capital through the formation of a special committee in February 2025, the shift from a financing proposal to an M&A negotiation, board-level disagreements that prompted multiple director resignations, and the eventual concentration of board oversight in a single remaining director before adding one independent director. Deveron also confirmed that regulators view the amendment of its convertible debentures and the proposed transaction as connected transactions under minority protection rules, leading to the exclusion of 20,538,287 common shares, including those held by director Chris Irwin, from the minority approval calculation, a development that could influence voting dynamics and outcomes for shareholders on the proposed sale and winding-up resolutions.
