SPECIAL MEETING OF SHAREHOLDERS CALLED FOR DECEMBER 11, 2003 |
MONTREAL, Canada, September 23, 2003 — Following a shareholder’s requisition, the Board of Directors of CINAR Corporation has called a special meeting of shareholders for December 11, 2003. The Board is reserving the right to convene the meeting on an earlier date if appropriate arrangements can be made in compliance with applicable securities rules. |
The request for a special meeting of shareholders was submitted by Chap-Cap Partners, L.P. on August 29, 2003. In order to prepare the proxy-related materials required to be sent to shareholders of the Company, the Board has asked Mr. Chapman to provide a list of nominees for election to the Board of Directors. The provisions of the Canada Business Corporations Act do not permit a form of proxy to confer authority to vote on the election of directors unless bona fide proposed nominees for election are named in the form of proxy or a proxy circular. |
Once the Board receives the information to be included in the proxy circular regarding the upcoming meeting, it will be in a position to commence the preparation and dissemination of proxy-related materials. |
