(NASDAQ:ZYNE), the leader in innovative pharmaceutically-produced transdermal cannabinoid therapies for rare and near-rare neuropsychiatric disorders, today announced that due to public health guidance related to the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic and for the safety of participants its Annual Meeting has been changed to a virtual format only.

As previously announced, the Annual Meeting will be held on June 10, 2020 at 8:00 a.m. Eastern Time for shareholders of record as of the close of business on April 14, 2020. However, participants will not be able to attend the Annual Meeting in person.
