The Company is postponing the Meeting in an effort to ensure that shareholders receive the Meeting materials in a timely manner, and to include at least one additional resolution to be presented to shareholders in respect of the ratification and approval of the Advance Notice Policy (as defined below).

 

Advance Notice Policy

 

The Company also announces the approval and adoption by its board of directors of an advance notice policy (the "Advance Notice Policy").  The Advance Notice Policy is expected to be presented to shareholders of the Company for ratification and approval at the Meeting.  The purpose of the Advance Notice Policy is to provide shareholders, directors, and management of the Company with guidance on the nomination of directors.

 

The Advance Notice Policy includes, among other things, a provision that requires advance notice to be given by shareholders to the Company (the "Notice") in circumstances where nominations of persons for election to the board of directors (the "Board") are made by shareholders of the Company other than pursuant to: (i) a requisition of a meeting made in accordance with the provisions of the British Columbia Business Corporations Act (the "Act"); or (ii) a shareholder proposal made in accordance with the provisions of the Act.

 

The Advance Notice Policy sets forth the information that a shareholder must include in the Notice and establishes a prescribed form of Notice.  In addition, the Advance Notice Policy sets the deadline by which shareholders of the Company must submit the Notice to the Company.

 

In the case of a Meeting, the Notice must be delivered to the Company not less than 30 days and not more than 65 days prior to the date of the Meeting.  However, in the event that the 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 Meeting was made, the Notice may be delivered not later than the close of business on the 10th day following such public announcement.

 

In the case of a special meeting of shareholders (a "Special Meeting") called for the purpose of electing directors (which is not also an annual general meeting) the Notice must be delivered to the Company not 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 Policy is in full force and effect as of the date it was approved by the Board.  In accordance with the terms of the Advance Notice Policy, the Advance Notice Policy is expected to be put to shareholders for approval at the Meeting.  If the Advance Notice Policy is not approved at the Meeting by an ordinary resolution of shareholders, the Advance Notice Policy will terminate and be of no further force and effect following the termination of the Meeting.
