CAMBRIDGE, Mass., June 11, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Leap Therapeutics, Inc. (Nasdaq: LPTX), a biotechnology company focused on developing targeted and immuno-oncology therapeutics, today announced that, due to public health and safety concerns related to the outbreak of the novel coronavirus ("COVID-19"), and to support the health and well-being of its stockholders, employees and others, the Company is changing its 2020 Annual Meeting of Stockholders (the "Annual Meeting") to a virtual-only format. The virtual Annual Meeting is expected to provide stockholders with the same rights and opportunities to participate as they would have had at an in-person meeting. Stockholders can submit questions related to the matters to be voted on at the virtual Annual Meeting by using the instructions on the virtual meeting website listed below.

In order to accommodate a virtual-only meeting format, the Annual Meeting will now be held at 4:00 p.m., eastern time, on Tuesday, June 16, 2020. Online access to the Annual Meeting will begin at 3:45 p.m., eastern time. Stockholders will not be able to attend the Annual Meeting in person.

Beneficial stockholders as of the Record Date (i.e. shares held in "street name" through an intermediary, such as a bank or broker) who want to be able to attend the Annual Meeting can attend using the control number found on the notice and instructions received from their broker or other nominee.

Attending the Virtual Meeting as a Guest
