HALIFAX, NS - Meta (NASDAQ:META) Materials Inc. (NASDAQ:MMAT), a developer of advanced materials and nanotechnology, is seeking shareholder approval to increase its authorized common shares, aiming to raise capital for commercialization and working capital needs. The request will be addressed in a special stockholders' meeting, as disclosed today.
The company has emphasized its commitment to judicious share issuance and outlined the necessity of additional capital for broad-scale production, which involves substantial costs for components, machinery, and unique raw materials. META has highlighted several ongoing joint developments and strategic collaborations, including a partnership with Panasonic (OTC:PCRFY) Industry for high-volume manufacturing of NANOWEB® material.

Additionally, notable global battery OEMs have been utilizing META's NPORE and NCORE products, prompting the company to scale up production to meet higher demand.
META's President and CEO, Uzi Sasson, has expressed that growth companies like META require access to capital to bring products to market and maintain business viability. The company is relying on its shareholders to support this next milestone towards success.
