VANCOUVER, BC / ACCESS Newswire / April 14, 2026 / Fifty 1 Labs, Inc. (OTCID:FITY), an AI-powered biotechnology company focused on peptide therapeutics, today announced the successful retirement of 1,748,933 shares of its Series B Preferred Stock.
This strategic move, completed using the Company’s own funds in direct collaboration with the shareholder, permanently removes the potential for approximately 612,126,550 common shares from entering the market. By retiring these preferred shares back to treasury, Fifty 1 Labs has delivered a major win for existing shareholders by significantly reducing future dilution and strengthening the Company’s capital structure.
This action is part of the Company’s aggressive initiative to clean up its public vehicle, eliminate share overhang, and create a cleaner, more attractive foundation for sustainable growth and value creation.
Dr. Joel Gagnier, CEO of Fifty 1 Labs, commented: “This retirement of 1,748,933 Series B Preferred shares is a powerful demonstration of our commitment to protecting and enhancing shareholder value. Using our own resources to retire these shares means no new dilution, just a direct benefit to our investors. We’ve removed over 612 million potential common shares from the float, allowing us to focus fully on executing our vision in focused AI driven peptide therapeutics. We’re grateful for the constructive partnership with the shareholder that made this possible, and we remain excited about empowering our community to ‘Be Better Than Yesterday.’”
