CALGARY, ALBERTA--(Marketwired - Apr 28, 2014) - Troymet Exploration Corp. (TSX VENTURE:TYE) ("Troymet") announced today that the Board of Directors of Troymet has approved the adoption of an advance notice by-law (the "Advance Notice By-law"), which requires advance notice to Troymet in circumstances where nominations of persons for election to the Board are made by shareholders other than pursuant to a requisition of a meeting made pursuant to the provisions of the Business Corporations Act (Alberta) ("ABCA") or a shareholder proposal made pursuant to the provisions of the ABCA.
Among other things, the Advance Notice By-law fixes a deadline by which shareholders must submit a notice of director nominations to the Chief Executive Officer of Troymet prior to any annual or special meeting of shareholders where directors are to be elected and sets forth the information that a shareholder must include in such notice for the notice to be valid. No person will be eligible for election as a director of Troymet unless nominated in accordance with the provisions of the Advance Notice By-law.
In the case of an annual general meeting of shareholders, notice to the Chief Executive Officer of Troymet must be made not less than 30 nor more than 65 days prior to the date of the annual general meeting of shareholders; provided, however, that in the event that the annual general meeting of shareholders is called for at a date that is less than 50 days after the date (the "Notice Date") on which the first public announcement of the date of the annual meeting was made, notice by the nominating shareholder must be given not later than the close of business on the tenth (10th) day following the Notice Date.
In the case of a special meeting (which is not also an annual general meeting) of shareholders called for the purpose of electing directors (whether or not called for other purposes), notice to the Chief Executive Officer of Troymet must be made not later than the close of business on the fifteenth (15th) day following the date on which the first public announcement of the date of the special meeting of shareholders was made.
The purpose of the Advance Notice By-law is to foster a variety of interests of the shareholders and Troymet by ensuring that all shareholders, including those participating in a meeting by proxy rather than in person, receive adequate notice of the nominations to be considered at a meeting and can thereby exercise their voting rights in an informed manner. In addition, the Advance Notice By-law is intended to provide a reasonable framework for shareholders to nominate directors and should assist in facilitating an orderly and efficient meeting process.
The Advance Notice By-law is effective immediately. At the next annual general and special meeting of shareholders of Troymet, the shareholders will be asked to confirm and ratify the Advance Notice By-law. A copy of the Advance Notice By-law has been filed under Troymet's SEDAR profile at www.sedar.com.
