MUNDORO CAPITAL ALERTS SHAREHOLDERS TO DISSIDENT’S FABRICATED CREDENTIALS
August 17, 2012, Vancouver, BC ‐ Mundoro Capital Inc. (TSX‐V: MUN) notes with concern the attempt by Mr. Hong Jun Li (Allen Li), a dissident shareholder, to falsely inflate his qualifications as part of his attempt to mislead shareholders and seize control of Mundoro.
Northern Minerals Investment Corp. (NMI), the dissident’s vehicle, claims in its information circular that Mr. Li graduated from Harvard University with an MBA. But in response to an investigation by Mundoro, NMI acknowledged publicly on August 16, 2012, that Mr. Li in fact holds no such qualification but rather a short term AMP course.
The acknowledgement is buried towards the end of a press release blandly titled “Shareholder Updates Information”.
“We are very concerned that Mr. Li should seek to mislead all Mundoro shareholders”, John Hoey, Mundoro’s chairman, said. “As we have reiterated to shareholders since we learned of Mr. Li’s intentions, the company has bona fide concerns about the dissident group’s deficient corporate governance practices and their lack of transparency. This example of false information provided by the dissidents’ leader fits their ‘hide‐in‐the‐weeds’ pattern, as it was described recently by the British Columbia Supreme Court.”
In addition to the press release issued by NMI, Mundoro has asked the dissidents to take the following basic steps to ensure that shareholders are fully informed about Mr. Li’s false statement:
- NMI must issue a revised circular to all shareholders by no later than the close of business on Friday, August 17, 2012, with the corrected information clearly outlined on the front cover, as is normal practice when such fundamental errors occur.
- The revised circular must be sent by courier to all shareholders no later than noon on Monday, August 20, 2012, to ensure that they are properly informed before the proxy voting deadline on August 23.
- All proxies solicited by NMI must be dated after receipt of the circular in order to ensure that shareholders have access to factually correct information.
Note to Mundoro shareholders:
Mundoro shareholders will elect directors for the coming year on Monday, August 27, 2012, at 11:00 a.m. (Vancouver time)
You are urged to vote your GOLD proxy ahead of the deadline of 11 a.m. (Vancouver time) on Thursday, August 23, 2012.
