Velan Inc. is a registered legal entity registered in Canada, and its current status with Registraire des entreprises du Québec (REQ) is active. Its registered address on file is Montreal, Canada. 5 shareholders are on record for Velan Inc., and since every one of them is a company rather than an individual, this particular filing does not on its own establish an ultimate beneficial owner (UBO) — identifying one would mean tracing the ownership of each shareholding company in turn. This profile is sourced directly from Registraire des entreprises du Québec (REQ) and was last updated on 25 September 2026.

Shareholders

Shareholders of Velan Inc.

Five shareholders are currently on record for Velan Inc., reflecting the securities register maintained under sections 20 and 50 of the Canada Business Corporations Act rather than a public filing. The largest of these is Highland Fds I-NexPoint Merger Arbitrage Fund, holding 59% — a majority holding — followed by EQ Advisors Trust-1290 VT GAMCO Mergers & Acquisitions Portfolio at 22.1%; the remaining 3 shareholders shown hold smaller stakes. Because every shareholder shown is a company rather than an individual, the ownership chain continues above this level, and no beneficial owner can be established from this filing alone.
