Quantum BioPharma Ltd. has established October 27, 2025 as the record date for the distribution of contingent value rights to holders of its Class B Subordinate Voting Shares. The distribution will occur on a one-for-one basis, with each CVR entitling holders to a pro rata portion of between 10% and 50% of any net proceeds ultimately recovered from the company's ongoing litigation against CIBC World Markets, RBC Dominion Securities, and others. The litigation seeks damages exceeding USD $700 million, representing a significant potential financial recovery for the biopharmaceutical company and its shareholders.
The CVRs are structured as non-transferable instruments that carry no interest or voting rights, and they will only become redeemable for cash if Qualifying Net Proceeds are received through either settlement or a final, non-appealable judgment in the company's favor. This distribution mechanism provides shareholders with direct exposure to the potential upside of the litigation outcome while maintaining their existing equity positions in the company. The contingent nature of the rights means shareholders will only benefit if the company successfully recovers funds through its legal actions against the financial institutions named in the lawsuit.
The establishment of a specific record date provides clarity to current shareholders regarding their eligibility to receive the CVR distribution. This structured approach to sharing potential litigation proceeds represents an innovative method for aligning shareholder interests with the company's legal strategy while maintaining transparency about the contingent nature of the potential financial recovery.
