Advance Notice By-Law
The Company also announces that its board of directors has adopted By-Law No. 2 requiring advance notice of the nomination of directors in certain circumstances (the "Advance Notice By-Law"). The Advance Notice By-Law is designed to further the Company's commitment to: (i) facilitating an orderly and efficient process for annual general meetings or, where the need arises, special meetings; (ii) ensuring that all shareholders receive adequate notice of director nominations and sufficient information regarding all director nominees; and (iii) allowing shareholders to register an informed vote after having been afforded reasonable time for appropriate deliberation.
The Advance Notice By-Law contains provisions requiring advance notice to the Company in certain circumstances where nominations of persons for election to the board of directors are made by shareholders of the Company. The Advance Notice By-Law establishes a deadline by which director nominations must be submitted to the Company prior to any annual or special meeting of shareholders and sets forth the information that must be included in the notice to the Company. No person will be eligible for election as a director of the Company unless nominated in accordance with the Advance Notice By-Law.
Notice under the Advance Notice By-Law is required to be provided as follows:
i. | in the case of an annual meeting of shareholders (including an annual and special meeting of shareholders), not less than 30 days before the date of the meeting, provided that, if such 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 such meeting was made (each such date being, the "notice date"), a nomination notice must be given not later than the close of business on the 10th day following the notice date; |
ii. | in the case of a special meeting of shareholders (which is not also an annual meeting of shareholders) called for the purpose of electing directors (whether or not called for other purposes), not later than the close of business on the 15th day following the notice date; and |
iii. | in the case of an annual meeting of shareholders (including an annual and special meeting of shareholders) or a special meeting of shareholders (which is not also an annual meeting of shareholders) called for the purpose of electing directors (whether or not also called for other purposes) where notice-and-access is used for delivery of proxy-related materials, not less than 40 days before the date of the meeting, provided that, if such meeting is to be held on a date that is less than 50 days after the notice date, a nomination notice must be given, in the case of an annual meeting of shareholders, not later than the close of business on the 10th day following the notice date and, in the case of a special meeting of shareholders, not later than the close of business on the 15th day following the notice date. |
The Advance Notice By-Law was adopted on February 19, 2024 and is effective immediately. It will apply to the Company's next annual general meeting of shareholders and will be placed before shareholders for ratification at the annual general meeting.
The full text of the Advance Notice By-Law is available on the Company's SEDAR profile at www.sedarplus.ca.
