Metals Creek Resources Corp. Announces Advanced Notice By-Law
(via Thenewswire.ca)
TORONTO - 09 May, 2013 - Metals Creek Resources Corp (the
"Company") (TSXV: MEK), today announced that its board of
directors (the "Board") has approved amendments to the
Company's by-laws to introduce an advance notice requirement in
connection with shareholders intending to nominate directors in
certain circumstances (the "Advance Notice Procedures").
The Advance Notice Procedures set forth a procedure requiring advance
notice to the Company by any shareholder who intends to nominate any
person for election as director of the Company other than pursuant to
(i) a requisition of a meeting made pursuant to the provisions of the
Business Corporations Act (Ontario) (the "OBCA"), or (ii) a
shareholder proposal made pursuant to the provisions of the OBCA.
Among other things, the Advance Notice Procedures set a deadline by
which such shareholders must notify the Company in writing of any
intention to nominate directors prior to any meeting of shareholders
at which directors are to be elected and set forth the information
that the shareholder must include in their notice for it to be
considered valid.
The Advance Notice Procedures provide a clear and transparent process
for all shareholders to follow if they intend to nominate directors.
In that regard, the Advance Notice Procedures provide a reasonable
time frame for shareholders to notify the Company of their intention
to nominate directors and require shareholders to disclose information
concerning the proposed nominees that is mandated by applicable
securities laws.
In the case of an annual meeting of shareholders, notice to the
Company must be made not less than 30 and not more than 65 days prior
to the date of the annual meeting; provided, however, that in the
event that the annual 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 the annual meeting was made, notice may be made not later
than the close of business on the 10th day following such public
announcement.
In the case of a special meeting of shareholders (which is not also an
annual meeting), notice to the Company must be made not later than the
close of business on the 15th day following the day on which the first
public announcement of the date of the special meeting was made.
The Advance Notice Procedures is effective immediately and will be
placed before shareholders for ratification at the upcoming annual
meeting of shareholders of the Company (the "Meeting") to be
held on July 16, 2013.
The Advance Notice Procedures are in effect until confirmed, confirmed
as amended or rejected by shareholders at the Meeting and, if
confirmed at the Meeting, the Advance Notice Procedures will continue
in effect in the form in which they were so confirmed.
