The Company was advised that certain individuals had been appointed as proxyholders by a significant number of
shareholders. Based on legal advice, the Chairman assessed that the solicitation of these proxies was not done in
accordance with applicable laws in Canada regulating public companies. It was the Chairman’s view that, in
soliciting proxies in this fashion, it was unfair to the shareholders of the Company as a whole in that only those
shareholders who were solicited in this fashion were aware that a proxy contest was underway, which is the type of
conduct the proxy solicitation rules preclude, in that they require that all shareholders have the same information in
making their voting decision. It was clearly communicated at last year’s Meeting that to maintain the integrity of
the Corporation’s voting procedures, all parties must comply with the law and any failure to comply with the law in
the future will result in those votes being struck. Although these votes were inconsequential to the results, these
individuals were warned last year. As a result, the Chairman disallow ed these votes, resulting in 11,824,531 votes
not being allowed to stand.
The name and trading symbol change will not come in to effect until certain regulatory step occur, as well as other
preparations required by the Corporation; a further press release will be issued when the name change becomes
effective.
Voting results for all matters will be posted on SEDAR at www.sedar.com.
