AND REGULATION 14C AND SCHEDULE 14C THEREUNDER

WE ARE NOT ASKING YOU FOR A PROXY
AND YOU ARE NOT REQUESTED TO SEND US A PROXY

This Information Statement has been mailed on or about April 20, 2007 to the stockholders of record on April 10, 2007 (the "Record Date") of IntelGenx Technologies Corp., a Delaware corporation (the "Corporation") in connection with certain actions to be taken by the written consent of the majority stockholder of the Corporation, dated April 10, 2007. The actions to be taken pursuant to the written consent shall be taken on or about May 10, 2007, 20 days after the mailing of this information statement.

THIS IS NOT A NOTICE OF A SPECIAL MEETING OF STOCKHOLDERS AND NO STOCKHOLDER MEETING WILL BE HELD TO CONSIDER ANY MATTER WHICH WILL BE DESCRIBED HEREIN.

By Order of the Board of Directors,

NOTICE OF ACTION TO BE TAKEN PURSUANT TO THE WRITTEN CONSENT OF THE MAJORITY STOCKHOLDER IN LIEU OF A SPECIAL MEETING OF THE STOCKHOLDERS, DATED APRIL 10, 2007

TO OUR STOCKHOLDERS:

NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that the following action will be taken pursuant to a written consent of the majority stockholder dated April 10, 2007, in lieu of a special meeting of the stockholders. Such action will be taken on or about May 10, 2007:

1.       To Amend the Corporation’s Certificate of Incorporation, as amended, to:

(a)     increase the number of authorized shares of common stock, par value $.00001 per share (the "Common Stock"), of the Corporation from 20,000,000 shares to 100,000,000 shares; and

(b)     authorize the creation of 20,000,000 shares of blank check preferred stock, par value $.00001per share (the "Preferred Stock").

OUTSTANDING SHARES AND VOTING RIGHTS

As of the Record Date, the Corporation’s authorized capitalization consisted of 20,000,000 shares of Common Stock, of which 16,007,489 shares were issued and outstanding as of the Record Date. Holders of Common Stock of the Corporation have no preemptive rights to acquire or subscribe to any of the additional shares of Common Stock.

Each share of Common Stock entitles its holder to one vote on each matter submitted to the stockholders. However, because stockholders holding at least a majority of the voting rights of all outstanding shares of capital stock as at the Record Date have voted in favor of the foregoing proposals by written consent dated April 10, 2007, having sufficient voting power to approve such proposals through their ownership of capital stock, no other stockholder consents will be solicited in connection with this Information Statement.

Pursuant to Rule 14c-2 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, the proposals will not be adopted until a date at least 20 days after the date on which this Information Statement has been mailed to the stockholders. The Corporation anticipates that the actions contemplated herein will be effected on or about the close of business on May 10, 2007.

The Corporation has asked brokers and other custodians, nominees and fiduciaries to forward this Information Statement to the beneficial owners of the Common Stock held of record by such persons and will reimburse such persons for out-of-pocket expenses incurred in forwarding such material.

AMENDMENT OF THE ARTICLES OF INCORPORATION

On April 10, 2007, the board of directors of the Corporation approved an amendment, subject to shareholder approval, to the Corporation’s Certificate of Incorporation, as amended, to increase the number of authorized shares of Common Stock from 20,000,000 to 100,000,000 and to authorize the creation of 20,000,000 shares of "blank check" Preferred Stock. On April 10, 2007, the majority stockholder of the Corporation approved the same resolution as the board of directors. The Corporation currently has authorized capital stock of 20,000,000 common shares and approximately 16,007,489 shares of Common Stock are outstanding as of the Record Date. The Board believes that the increase in authorized common shares and the authorization of Preferred Shares would provide the Corporation greater flexibility with respect to the Corporation’s capital structure for such purposes as additional equity financing, and stock based acquisitions. The Corporation anticipates that the "blank check" Preferred Stock will be designated into classes as deemed appropriate by the Corporation in the future. Although the Corporation is presently in discussions with potential Investors regarding a future financing, there has been no agreement as to the type, amount or terms of such financing.

 

CREATION OF BLANK CHECK PREFERRED STOCK

The amendment to the Corporation’s Certificate of Incorporation, as amended, will create 20,000,000 authorized shares of "blank check" Preferred Stock. The term "blank check" refers to preferred stock, the creation and issuance of which is authorized in advance by the stockholders and the terms, rights and features of which are determined by the board of directors of the Corporation upon issuance. The authorization of such blank check preferred stock would permit the board of directors to authorize and issue Preferred Stock from time to time in one or more series.

Subject to the provisions of the Corporation’s Certificate of Incorporation, as amended, and the limitations prescribed by law, the board of directors would be expressly authorized, at its discretion, to adopt resolutions to issue shares, to fix the number of shares and constituting of any series and to provide for or change the voting powers, designations, preferences and relative, participating, optional or other special rights, qualifications, limitations or restrictions thereof, including dividend rights (including whether the dividends are cumulative), dividend rates, terms of redemption (including sinking fund provisions), redemption prices, conversion rights and liquidation preferences of the shares constituting any series of the Preferred Stock, in each case without any further action or vote by the stockholders. The board of directors would be required to make any determination to issue shares of Preferred Stock based on its judgment as to the best interests of the Corporation and its stockholders. The amendment to the Certificate of Incorporation, as amended, would give the board of directors flexibility, without further stockholder action, to issue Preferred Stock on such terms and conditions as the board of directors deems to be in the best interests of the Corporation and its stockholders.

The amendment will provide the Corporation with increased financial flexibility in meeting future capital requirements by providing another type of security in addition to its Common Stock, as it will allow Preferred Stock to be available for issuance from time to time and with such features as determined by the board of directors for any proper corporate purpose. It is anticipated that such purposes may include the issuance of Preferred Stock for cash as a means of obtaining capital for use by the Corporation, or issuance as part or all of the consideration required to be paid by the Corporation for acquisitions of other businesses or assets.

Any issuance of Preferred Stock with voting rights could, under certain circumstances, have the effect of delaying or preventing a change in control of the Corporation by increasing the number of outstanding shares entitled to vote and by increasing the number of votes required to approve a change in control of the Corporation. Shares of voting or convertible Preferred Stock could be issued, or rights to purchase such shares could be issued, to render more difficult or discourage an attempt to obtain control of the Corporation by means of a tender offer, proxy contest, merger or otherwise. The ability of the board of directors to issue such additional shares of Preferred Stock, with the rights and preferences it deems advisable, could discourage an attempt by a party to acquire control of the Corporation by tender offer or other means. Such issuance could therefore deprive stockholders of benefits that could result from such an attempt, such as the realization of a premium over the market price that such an attempt could cause. Moreover, the issuance of such additional shares of Preferred Stock to persons friendly to the board of directors could make it more difficult to remove incumbent managers and directors from office event if such change were to be favorable to stockholders generally.

While the amendment may have anti-takeover ramifications, the board of directors believes that the financial flexibility offered by the amendment outweighs any disadvantages. To the extent that the amendment may have anti-takeover effects, the amendment may encourage persons seeking to acquire the Corporation to negotiate directly with the board of directors enabling the board of directors to consider the proposed transaction in a manner that best serves the stockholders’ interests.

INCREASE IN AUTHORIZED COMMON STOCK

The terms of the additional shares of Common Stock will be identical to those of the currently outstanding shares of Common Stock. However, because holders of Common Stock have no preemptive rights to purchase or subscribe for any unissued stock of the Corporation, the issuance of additional shares of Common Stock will reduce the current stockholders’ percentage ownership interest in the total outstanding shares of Common Stock. This amendment and the creation of additional shares of authorized common stock will not alter the current number of issued shares. The relative rights and limitations of the shares of Common Stock will remain unchanged under this amendment.

As of the Record Date, a total of 16,007,489 shares of the Corporation’s currently authorized 20,000,000 shares of Common Stock are issued and outstanding. The increase in the number of authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock would enable the Corporation, without further stockholder approval, to issue shares from time to time as may be required for proper business purposes, such as raising additional capital for ongoing operations, business and asset acquisitions, stock splits and dividends, present and future employee benefit programs and other corporate purposes.

The proposed increase in the authorized number of shares of Common Stock could have a number of effects on the Corporation’s stockholders depending upon the exact nature and circumstances of any actual issuances of authorized but unissued shares. The increase could have an anti-takeover effect, in that additional shares could be issued (within the limits imposed by applicable law) in one or more transactions that could make a change in control or takeover of the Corporation more difficult. For example, additional shares could be issued by the Corporation so as to dilute the stock ownership or voting rights of persons seeking to obtain control of the Corporation, even if the persons seeking to obtain control of the Corporation offer an above-market premium that is favored by a majority of the independent shareholders. Similarly, the issuance of additional shares to certain persons allied with the Corporation’s management could have the effect of making it more difficult to remove the Corporation’s current management by diluting the stock ownership or voting rights of persons seeking to cause such removal. The Corporation has no plans or proposals to adopt other provisions or enter into other arrangements, except as disclosed, that may have material anti-takeover consequences. The Board of Directors is not aware of any attempt, or contemplated attempt, to acquire control of the Corporation, and this proposal is not being presented with the intent that it be utilized as a type of anti-takeover device.
