Montego Directors Dispute Content of Inaccurate Release from Anthony Jackson
Vancouver, B.C. - TheNewswire - June 20, 2019 - Montego Resources Inc. (CSE: MY; FRA: 4MO1) (the "Company" or "Montego") and certain of its directors dispute the content of Anthony Jackson's June 20, 2019 release, which incorrectly states that Mr. Cegielski brought an application seeking the release of Montego funds to the directors' control. Mr. Cegielski has never made any such application. Instead, Montego Resources Inc. commenced proceedings seeking an Order from the BC Supreme Court requiring Anthony Jackson to return control of Montego's bank accounts to Montego, because he had been terminated as Montego's CFO and his signing authority was removed. That Civil Claim is still before the courts.
In the interim, Mr. Cegielski, Mr. Greig and Mr. Malhotra, all Montego directors, have notified Mr. Jackson that they do not intend to stand for re-election to Montego's board, and have consented to Mr. Jackson seeing to the administration of Montego's July 23, 2019 meeting. None of these directors have abandoned their status as directors of Montego, despite Mr. Jackson's efforts to deny that status.
Mr. Cegielski's personal suit against Montego for his advance of legal fees relates to his having to retain legal counsel to respond to a petition commenced by Mr. Jackson naming Montego as a respondent seeking relief in respect of Montego's AGM, and the subsequent investigation he performed into Mr. Jackson's conduct as CFO of Montego prior to his termination on March 1, 2019, in circumstances where Mr. Jackson personally controls Montego's accounts and has to date refused to reimburse Mr. Cegielski for having to advance legal fees on behalf of the Company. That investigation continues.
