In lieu of issuing a management information circular in respect of its 2011 fiscal year at this time, Crystallex will prepare and file with applicable Canadian securities regulatory authorities, and will also distribute to its shareholders, an information document that will contain information substantially similar to that required to be set out in a management information circular, including disclosure regarding the board of directors, executive and director compensation and corporate governance practices. The information document will be filed on SEDAR at www.sedar.com under the Company's profile and is expected to be mailed to shareholders (together with the Company's audited fiscal 2011 financial results) later this year.
The Company is also pleased to announce that the Court of Appeal (Ontario) has dismissed the appeal by the holders of the Company's $100,000,000 unsecured notes of the orders made by the Ontario Superior Court of Justice (Commercial List) on April 16, 2012 (refer to Crystallex's press release of April 23, 2012) approving the Company's debtor-in-possession financing (the "DIP Financing") and the Company's Management Incentive Plan. The orders approving the DIP Financing and the Management Incentive Plan, as well as the endorsement of these orders, are available at the monitor's website at www.ey.com/ca/crystallex. The noteholders have advised the Company that it is their intention to seek leave to appeal the decision of the Court of Appeal to the Supreme Court of Canada.
