XORTX Therapeutics Inc ( (TSE:XRTX) ) just unveiled an announcement.
XORTX Therapeutics Inc. plans to nominate three new directors, George Scorsis, Richard Grieve, and Mika Grasso, at its March 24, 2026 annual and special shareholder meeting, replacing three previously proposed nominees. The board changes are a condition of a significant financing initiative currently under negotiation, which, if not completed, will see the new directors resign and their seats refilled later, with the financing also requiring TSX Venture Exchange approval.
The proposed directors bring experience in highly regulated industries, finance, operations, and investment management, notably including Scorsis’s track record scaling consumer and cannabis businesses and executing major M&A and financing transactions. Their addition is intended to support XORTX’s capital-raising efforts and may strengthen governance and strategic execution as the company advances its late-stage pharmaceutical programs.
The most recent analyst rating on (TSE:XRTX) stock is a Sell with a C$0.48 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on XORTX Therapeutics Inc stock, see the TSE:XRTX Stock Forecast page.
