Quantum BioPharma Ltd. (NASDAQ: QNTM) has announced its intention to declare a special dividend comprising Contingent Value Rights (CVRs) for holders of its Class B Subordinate Voting Shares.
This move comes as the company seeks to reward shareholders while pursuing legal action against major banks for alleged stock price manipulation.
Each CVR will provide shareholders with a pro rata portion of a minimum of 10% and a maximum of 50% of net proceeds from a lawsuit against CIBC World Markets, RBC Dominion Securities, and others, which seeks damages exceeding USD $700 million.
The exact payout percentage will be determined by the Board at a later date, with further updates on the record date forthcoming.
Quantum BioPharma’s CEO, Zeeshan Saeed, emphasized the company’s commitment to its shareholders, stating, “This proposed special dividend underscores our commitment to ensuring our shareholders benefit directly from the outcome of this significant litigation.”
Shareholder Reactions
Retail sentiment on X (formerly Twitter) has been largely positive following this announcement.
Many investors expressed optimism about the potential recovery from the litigation, viewing the CVRs as a unique opportunity to benefit from the company’s legal endeavors.
Comments such as “Finally, some good news for QNTM investors!” and “Excited to see how this litigation unfolds. CVRs could be a game-changer!” reflect a growing enthusiasm within the retail investor community.
The issuance of the CVRs is contingent upon necessary regulatory approvals and the finalization of legal, tax, and operational matters.
While the company remains optimistic, it cautions that there are no guarantees of receiving any litigation proceeds or that the CVRs will result in payouts.
Shares of the company (NASDAQ:QNTM) are up more than 27% in the past week and more than 382% this year-to-date.
