EXPLANATORY
NOTE
This
Form 6-K is being furnished to reflect a recent filing by Biomira Inc. with
the
System for Electronic Document Analysis and Retrieval (“SEDAR”) in Canada
relating to the determination of a record date for determining shareholders
entitled to vote on a proposed plan of arrangement that would result in the
reincorporation of Biomira Inc. from Canada into the State of Delaware and
in
shareholders of Biomira Inc. exchanging their shares of Biomira Inc. capital
stock for shares of the capital stock of Oncothyreon Inc., a newly formed
Delaware corporation.
On
September 12, 2007, Oncothyreon Inc. (formerly Biomira Corporation) filed
a
Registration Statement on Form S-4 (File No. 333-145995) with the United
States
Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) containing a proxy
statement/prospectus relating to the proposed plan of arrangement and
reincorporation. On September 27, 2007, Oncothyreon filed Amendment
No. 1 to Form S-4 with the SEC. The SEC has not yet declared the
registration statement to be effective.
The
record and meeting dates provided on SEDAR are tentative estimates of the
dates
based on Canadian law and are subject to change. Until the
registration statement on Form S-4 has been declared effective, we will be
unable to provide a definitive record and meeting date.
This
notice does not constitute an offer to sell, or an invitation of an offer
to
buy, any securities of Biomira Inc. or Oncothyreon Inc. Nor does this
notice constitute an attempt to solicit a proxy with respect to any of the
matters described herein, from any shareholder or stockholder of Biomira
Inc. or
Oncothyreon Inc. Any such offer or proxy solicitation will be made,
if at all, only pursuant to the definitive proxy statement/prospectus contained
in the Form S-4 as filed with the SEC.
