QUEBEC CITY, QUEBEC--(Marketwired - Jun 4, 2014) - Komet Resources Inc. (« Komet ») (TSX VENTURE:KMT) is pleased to announce the results of its annual general meeting of shareholders that took place on May 22, 2014 (the "Meeting"). For reference purposes, a total of 43.8 percent of Komet's issued and outstanding common shares (representing 14,822,000 common shares) were represented at the Meeting. Komet shareholders, present at the Meeting or through proxy, voted unanimously in favor of the following: i) the financial statements for the fiscal year ending September 30, 2013 and its related auditor's report; ii) the reappointment of auditors Brunet Roy Dubé, CPA, LLP, until the next annual general meeting and the authorisation by the Board of Directors to fix the auditor's remuneration, and iii) the appointment of Robert Wares, André Gagné et Marcel Robillard as directors. Finally, Komet shareholders also approved with 96.52 percent of the vote the appointment of Pierre Labrecque, Léo Patry et Michel Lebeuf Jr. as directors.
New committees
At a meeting prior to the annual general meeting, Komet's directors created three internal committees, which are i) a Governance Committee comprising Michel Lebeuf Jr. acting as the president, as well as Roby Bégin et Léo Patry, ii) a Technical Committee chaired by Robert Wares and supported by Marcel Robillard and André Gagné, and iii) an Audit Committee chaired by Pierre Labrecque assisted by Léo Patry and Roby Bégin.
Issuance of stock options
Komet has a Stock Option Plan under which the Board of Directors issued 3.1 million options to purchase common shares at an exercise price of $0.475, among which 2.3 million have been granted to the Directors.
Resignation of Mr. Pierre Labrecque and appointment of Mr. Roby Bégin as a substitute.
For good governance reasons, Mr. Pierre Labrecque submitted his resignation as director but keeps his position of Chief Financial Officer (CFO). The Board of Directors then proceeded with the appointment of Mr. Roby Bégin as director until the next annual general meeting of Komet shareholders. Mr. Bégin is a Komet shareholder and a successful businessman from the Beauce region of Québec, and the Board will no doubt benefit from his managerial skills.
