ITEM 7.01 Regulation FD Disclosure.

 

On December 31, 2025, Artelo Biosciences, Inc. (the “Company”) convened and then adjourned, without conducting any business, its 2025 annual meeting of stockholders (the “Annual Meeting”) due to insufficient votes to constitute a quorum.

 

The Annual Meeting will reconvene at 8:00 a.m., Pacific Time, on Friday, January 30, 2026 to provide the Company’s stockholders with additional time to vote on the proposals described in the Company’s definitive proxy statement filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on December 11, 2025. The Annual Meeting will still be held virtually via live audio webcast at https://www.proxyvote.com/.

 

An additional proposal to ratify the appointment of Malone Bailey LLP as our independent auditor for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2026 is anticipated to be added to the proposals to be voted on by stockholders at the Annual Meeting. Such proposal will be described in supplemental proxy materials that will be filed with the SEC and mailed to stockholders together with a revised proxy card. Other than such anticipated additional proposal, no changes are expected to be made to the proposals to be voted on by the stockholders at the Annual Meeting.

 

The record date for stockholders entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting remains December 10, 2025. Proxies previously submitted will be voted at the Annual Meeting unless properly revoked, and the stockholders who have already submitted a proxy or otherwise voted need not take any action.

 

The information in this Item 7.01 shall not be deemed “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that section and will not be incorporated by reference into any filing under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, unless specifically identified therein as being incorporated therein by reference.

 

This report contains certain forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and Private Securities Litigation Reform Act, as amended. These forward-looking statements are based on management’s current beliefs and assumptions. These statements relate to future events and involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties, and other factors which may cause actual results, performance or achievements to be materially different from any future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements. Such factors include those set forth in the Company’s filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Prospective investors are cautioned not to place undue reliance on such forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date of this report. The Company undertakes no obligation to publicly update any forward-looking statement, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except to the extent required by applicable securities laws.
