Happy Creek Minerals Ltd. Reminds Shareholders to Vote and addresses dissident’s
recent uninformed accusations
August 7, 2020, Vancouver, British Columbia – Happy Creek Minerals Ltd. (TSX-V: HPY) (the
“Company” or “Happy Creek”) would like to remind shareholders to vote their shares for the
upcoming Annual General Meeting of Shareholder s (the “Meeting”) of the Company being held
on August 14, 2020 at 11:00 a.m. (Pacific Daylight Time).
Voting Deadline
YOUR VOTE IS IMPORTANT – PLEASE VOTE TODAY
The voting deadline is 11:00 a.m. (Pacific Daylight Time) on Wednesday, August 12, 2020
Shareholders are encouraged to vote in advance of the deadline to ensure their votes are received
in a timely manner. The Management’s meeting materials provide more information on the
matters to come before the Meeting and instructions on how to vote. These materials can be
found on the Company’s website at www.happycreekminerals.com or under the Company’s
profile on SEDAR at www.sedar.com.
Virtual Meeting and Dial-In Instructions
To ensure the safety of the Company’s Shareholders amidst the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic,
there will be no physical location for the Meeti ng. The Meeting will be deemed to be held at the
Company’s head office located at Suite 460 – 789 West Pender Street, Vancouver, British
Columbia, Canada; however, the Meeting will be held in virtual only format, which will be
conducted via telephone conference. Registered Shareholders and validly appointed
proxyholders may attend the Meeting by calling 877-407-2991 (toll-free in Canada and the United
States) or 201-389-0925 (international).
Recommendations of the Board of Directors and Management
The Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board”) and Management unanimously recommend
that the Shareholders vote FOR the resolutions to be before the Shareholders at the Meeting.
Happy Creek is making positive progress and now is not the time for change. The self-interested
dissident group has tried to disrupt this growth and, based on their most recent lack of
understanding, has announced they will be rescinding their efforts, blaming the Company’s
Management for their failures.
These baseless accusations simply reinforce the dissident’s lack of knowledge as they wrongfully
accuse the Board and Management of impeding them by not including the dissident nominees in
the Management Information Circular and proxy materials. To clarify, the Company has no
obligation to include dissident nominees in the Management Information Circular. It would not be
in the Shareholders interests to include dissident nominees that have not been properly reviewed
and assessed as is required for all nominees. The Company also notes that it is standard practice
for dissidents to provide their own proxy materials for Shareholders.
The Board and Management are committed to ensuring the best interests of all Shareholders are
considered and welcome discussion. The Company continues to receive support from the
Shareholders despite the dissidents’ unwarranted actions and the Board and Management wish
to thank the Shareholders for their trust in us.
