GrowMax Resources Announces Adoption of Advance Notice By-Law
TORONTO, July 30, 2018 -- GrowMax Resources Corp. (the “Company” or “GrowMax Resources”) (TSX-V:GRO) announced today that its Board of Directors (the "Board") has adopted By-Law No. 2 (the "Advance Notice By-Law") to provide shareholders, directors and management of the Company with guidance on the nomination of directors.
The Advance Notice By-Law is similar to the advance notice by-laws adopted by many other Canadian companies and is intended to:
(i) ensure that all shareholders receive adequate notice of director nominations and sufficient time and information with respect to all nominees to make appropriate deliberations and register an informed vote; and
(ii) facilitate an orderly and efficient process for annual or special meetings of shareholders of the Company. This Advance Notice By-Law is the framework by which a deadline is fixed for shareholders to submit director nominations prior to any annual or special meeting of shareholders and sets forth the information that a shareholder must include in the notice for it to be in proper written form.
It is the belief of the Board that this Advance Notice By-Law is beneficial to the Company and its shareholders.
Highlights of the Advance Notice By-Law
Pursuant to the Advance Notice By-Law, shareholders seeking to nominate candidates for election as directors other than pursuant to a proposal or requisition of shareholders made in accordance with the provisions of the Alberta Business Corporations Act, must provide timely written notice in proper form to the Corporate Secretary of the Company. To be timely, a shareholder's notice must be received (i) not less than 30 days prior to the date of such annual Shareholders’ Meeting; provided, however, that if such annual Shareholders’ Meeting is to be held on a date that is less than 50 days after the date on which the first Public Announcement (the “Notice Date”) of the date of such annual Shareholders’ Meeting was made, notice by the shareholder may be made not later than the close of business on the 10th day following the Notice Date; or (ii) in the case of a special Shareholders’ Meeting (which is not also an annual Shareholders’ Meeting) 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 day on which the first Public Announcement of the date of such special Shareholders’ Meeting was made.
The Advance Notice By-Law also prescribes the proper written form for a shareholder's notice. The Board may, in its sole discretion, waive any requirement under these provisions.
The Advance Notice By-law is effective immediately and will be placed before shareholders for approval, confirmation and ratification at the next Annual and Special Meeting of Shareholders of the Company scheduled to be held on September 25, 2018 (the "Meeting") in Calgary, Alberta. The full text of the Advance Notice By-law is available under the Company's profile at www.sedar.com.
