XORTX Therapeutics has filed and mailed the management information circular and related materials for its annual and special shareholder meeting, scheduled for March 24, 2026, in Calgary.

The outcomes of these resolutions, particularly the potential share consolidation, may influence XORTX’s market profile and its ability to fund continued development of its late-stage kidney and gout treatment programs.
