ContraFect Announces Adjournment of Annual Meeting of Stockholders

On May 16, 2023, ContraFect Corporation (the “Company”) convened its 2023 Annual Meeting of Stockholders (the “Annual Meeting”). At the time of the Annual Meeting, there were insufficient shares of the Company’s common stock present electronically or represented by proxy to constitute a quorum for the transaction of business at the Annual Meeting. Accordingly, the Annual Meeting was adjourned to allow for additional time to establish a quorum. The reconvened Annual Meeting will be held at 9:00 a.m. Eastern Time on June 14, 2023 at www.virtualshareholdermeeting.com/CFRX2023. For information on how to attend the reconvened Annual Meeting online and submit questions during the meeting, please see the information in the Company’s definitive proxy statement filed with the SEC on April 3, 2023.

The Record Date for determining stockholders eligible to vote at the Annual Meeting remains March 27, 2023. During the period of adjournment, the Company will continue to accept stockholder votes and any stockholders who have not yet voted are encouraged to do so. The Company encourages any eligible stockholder that has not yet voted their shares or provided voting instructions to their broker or other record holders to do so promptly. Any stockholders who have already voted or submitted a proxy do not need to take any further action unless they wish to change their vote.
