ADVANCE NOTICE BY-LAW
Introduction
The Corporation is committed to (i) facilitating an orderly and efficient process for holding annual general meetings and, when the need arises, special meetings of its shareholders; (ii) ensuring that all shareholders receive adequate advance notice of the director nominations and sufficient information regarding all director nominees; and (iii) allowing shareholders to register an informed vote for directors of the Corporation after having been afforded reasonable time for appropriate deliberation.
Objectives
The purpose of this advance notice by-law (the “By-Law”) is to provide shareholders, directors and management of the Corporation with a clear framework for nominating directors of the Corporation. This By-Law fixes a deadline by which director nominations must be submitted by a shareholder to the Corporation prior to any annual or special meeting of shareholders, and sets forth the information that a shareholder must include in the notice to the Corporation for the notice to be in proper written form in order for any director nominee to be eligible for election at any annual or special meeting of shareholders.
It is the position of the Corporation that this By-Law is in the best interest of the Corporation, its shareholders and other stakeholders. This By-Law may be subject to annual review at the discretion of the board of directors of the Corporation (the “Board”), and will reflect changes as required by Applicable Securities Laws (as defined below) or stock exchanges policies, or so as to meet industry standards.
