Laurion Mineral Exploration - Announces Voting Results for its Annual and Special Meeting of Shareholders
TORONTO, July 12, 2019 - Laurion Mineral Exploration Inc. (TSX.V: LME and OTCPINK: LMEFF) ("LAURION" or the "Corporation") is pleased to announce the voting results of the Annual and Special Meeting of Shareholders of the Corporation that was held on July 11, 2019 (the "Meeting"). Election of Directors
Each of the nominees for election as directors listed in the Corporation's management information circular dated May 31, 2019 (the "Circular") were elected as directors of the Corporation for the ensuing year or until their successors are elected or appointed.
Despite such elections, since Dr. Neil Westoll received a greater number of votes "WITHHELD" than votes "FOR" at the Meeting, he has tendered his resignation to the Chair of the board of directors (the "Board"). Although issuers listed on the TSX Venture Exchange (the "TSX-V") are not required to adopt a majority voting policy requiring the tendering of a resignation in such circumstances, the Board will consider Dr. Westoll's offer of resignation and also the candidates who are best suited to fill any vacancies on the Board. Taking into account good governance practices and the interests of the Corporation and its stakeholders, the Board will make its decision on whether to accept his offer of resignation as soon as practical following a thorough review of the circumstances which led to the offer.
Other Items of Business Considered at the Meeting
Each of the following resolutions voted on at the Meeting were also passed:
- Fixing the number of directors of the Corporation (and the number of directors to be elected at the Meeting) at five.
- The reappointment of RSM LLP as auditors of the Corporation for the ensuing year and the authorization of the directors of the Corporation to fix their remuneration and the terms of their engagement.
- The approval and ratification of the renewal of the Corporation's rolling stock option plan.
- The approval of the issuance of 1,467,008 common shares of the Corporation to a certain member of management in exchange for the settlement of certain debts of the Corporation (the "Shares for Debt Transaction").
Notwithstanding the approval by the shareholders of the Corporation, the Shares for Debt Transaction remains subject to approval by the TSX-V.
