SENSIO Files its Proxy Circular for its Annual Meeting and Gives
Information Concerning the Renewal of the Board of Directors
MONTREAL, QUEBEC--(Marketwired - Dec 30, 2013) - SENSIO
Technologies Inc. ("SENSIO" or the "Company") (TSX-VENTURE:SIO)
announces the filing today of its proxy circular for its annual
meeting (the "meeting") of January 24 2014 with the Canadian
securities regulatory authorities through the SEDAR Web site
(www.sedar.com). It is proposed that the number of Directors of the
Company be reduced from eight to five and that the Board be
composed of four independent directors and the President &
Chief Executive Officer, instead of six independent directors and
two officers, to reflect the governance requirements of the Company
in regard to its size and its operations. The proxy circular
provides information on the proposed candidates for the election of
the Board of Directors following the evolution of 3DGO! and the new
content distribution activities of the Company. For the purpose of
continuity, the Company recommends the candidacy of Mr. Yvan
Goineau, current Chairman of the audit committee, who, in the event
of his election, would be reappointed as Chairman of the audit
committee. In this context and with the exception of Mr. Goineau,
the current independent directors of the Company have decided to
step down in order to let new candidates take over.
"First, I would like to thank all my fellow Directors, who
served the interests of the Company with integrity, diligence and
dedication for all these years", said Mr. Jacques Malo, current
Chairman of the Board of Directors of the Company. "I would like to
congratulate them for the commitment and hard work they have shown
all these years, especially over the last two years, to maintain
our Company on track in a sometimes harsh financial and commercial
environment. We are proud to have been able to contribute to the
development of a Company that holds 14 patents recognized
internationally, commercial agreements with leading players in the
electronics market, a content distribution platform in the US and
agreements with the biggest Hollywood studios. We are confident
that this is an excellent base to allow the emergence of SENSIO. I
would like to express my gratitude to the outgoing directors, Mr.
St-Pierre, Mr. McDonald, Mr. Harrison and Mr. Laberge. I
fundamentally believe that we are nominating excellent new
candidates for the 2014 cohort. They will help the development the
Company in its new operational context. "
If elected, it is anticipated that Mr. Georges Karam would
replace Mr. Malo as Chairman of the Board.
- For a number of years, Mr.Karam has been investing in emerging
companies based in Canada and abroad. In 2003, Mr. Karam co-founded
ATELKA Inc., a company specializing in managing client contacts
which employs 2,500 people in seven cities across three continents
and serves a worldwide clientele, where he acts as the Chief
Executive Officer, and as such, manages the operations and sees to
the development of the company. In 2005, Mr. Karam has been awarded
a Flèche d'Or from l'Association du marketing relationnel and in
2012, he won the prestigious Entrepreneur of the Year awards in the
Business-to-Business Products and Services category awarded by
Ernst & Young. He is an investor in Anges Québec, guest speaker
at the renowned École d'Entrepreneurship de Beauce and also
contributes to several philanthropic causes.
To complete the independent directors, the following two new
candidates are recommended:
- Yann Paquet: Mr. Paquet has nearly 20 years of experience in
the media industry. Since February 2013, he has been the
vice-president of acquisitions at Contenu QMI. In this role, he is
responsible for the acquisition of content for all TV channels and
video on demand platforms for Québecor Média. Mr. Paquet was
previously the vice-president of multi-platform content at
Vidéotron. He also was the vice-president of digital media and
strategic partnerships at Reader's Digest and principal director of
new media for the French network of CBC/Radio-Canada.
- Mathieu Péloquin: Mr. Péloquin has more than 15 years of
experience as an expert in management and marketing and is the
principal vice-president of marketing and communications at
Stingray Digital. In this role, he is responsible for marketing
strategy and communications for different product lines.
Previously, Mr. Péloquin was vice-president of marketing for TC
Media and vice-president of digital marketing solutions. He also
held different executive positions at Reader's Digest Canada and
co-founded Services Marketing Equinox. Mr. Péloquin holds a
Bachelor of Business Administration from the School of Management
of Université du Québec à Montréal and is also a Chartered public
accountant and a certified management accountant.
The Board is in favour of the establishment of a new method of
remuneration for Directors, which will enable the Company to use
its funds for the development of 3DGO!
"On behalf of SENSIO, I would like to express my sincerest
appreciation to the outgoing Directors for their contribution to
the development of the Company over the last few years" said Mr.
Nicholas Routhier, President & Chief Executive Officer of the
Company. "I would like to highlight the contribution of Mr. Jacques
Malo, who is at the forefront of the Board since the early years of
the company. On behalf of SENSIO and myself, I would like to thank
him for his unwavering support of the Company and for his
invaluable contribution within the Board. His support has been
crucial to the growth of our Company and we thank him for the trust
he has shown towards a young visionary company, trust without which
we would not have been able to start this Company nor make this
Company an industry leader. "
