ADVANCE NOTICE BY-LAW
The Company also announces the adoption by its board of
directors (the "Board") of amendments to its by-laws to add a
provision that requires advance notice to the Company in
circumstances where director nominations are made by shareholders
of the Company, other than in connection with (i) the requisition
of a shareholders' meeting, or (ii) a shareholder proposal, in each
case made pursuant to the Business Corporations Act (Ontario) (the
"Advance Notice Provision").
Among other things, the Advance Notice Provision fixes a
deadline by which holders of record of common shares of the Company
must submit director nominations to the Company prior to any annual
or special meeting of shareholders and sets forth the information
that a shareholder must include in the notice to the Company.
In the case of an annual meeting of shareholders, notice to the
Company must be made not less than 30 days and not more than 65
days prior to the date of the annual meeting; provided, however,
that in the event that the annual meeting is to be held on a date
that is less than 50 days after the date on which the first public
announcement of the date of the annual meeting was made, notice may
be made not later than the close of business on the 10th day
following such public announcement.
In the case of a special meeting of shareholders (which is not
also an annual meeting), notice to the Company must be made no
later than the close of business on the 15th day following the day
on which the first public announcement of the date of the special
meeting was made.
The Advance Notice Provision provides a clear process for
shareholders to follow for director nominations and sets out a
reasonable time frame for nominee submissions and the provision of
accompanying information. The purpose of the Advance Notice
Provision is to treat all shareholders fairly by ensuring that all
shareholders receive adequate notice of the nominations to be
considered at a meeting and can thereby exercise their voting
rights in an informed manner. In addition, the Advance Notice
Provision should assist in facilitating an orderly and efficient
meeting process.
The by-law amendment is effective immediately and will be placed
before shareholders for ratification and confirmation at the next
annual and special meeting of shareholders of the Company to be
held in June 2013. A copy of the by-law amendment has been filed
under the Company's SEDAR profile at www.sedar.com.
