How we checked this
Checked on September 29, 2026. The cited source supports every part of this claim.
The proxy statement presents ratification of GHP Horwath, P.C. as auditor as Proposal Three for the November 20, 2009 annual meeting. The document shows it as a proposal and does not report the vote result.
Confirmed in the source:
- AspenBio Pharma's 2009 proxy asked shareholders to ratify and approve GHP Horwath, P.C. as its independent registered public accounting firm
- The Board approved the Audit Committee's recommendation to appoint GHP Horwath, P.C. on September 7, 2009
What we did: Read our cached copy of SEC EDGAR (https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1167419/000107997309000973/appy_def14a.htm) in full (100,267 characters, retrieved September 27, 2026) and checked each assertion in the claim against it.
