On July 11, 2006, an annual meeting of our shareholders (the "Meeting")
was held for the following purposes: (i) to ratify and approve the prior
actions, deeds and conduct of our Board of Directors; (ii) to approve and ratify
the appointment of Dale Matheson Carr-Hilton LaBonte, Chartered Accountants, as
our independent public accountant and auditor, and authorize the Board of
Directors to fix the auditors' remuneration; and (iii) to elect the following
nominees to the Board of Directors: Jerry Kroll, Jason Finnis, Larisa Harrison,
Robert Edmunds, Guy Prevost, and Kenneth C. Barker. We distributed an
Information Circular dated May 20, 2006 and supporting documentation, including
a proxy, to our shareholders.
Only shareholders of record at the close of business on May 25, 2006
(the "Record Date") were entitled to notice or and to vote the shares of common
stock held by them on such date at the Meeting or any and all adjournments
thereof. As of the Record Date, an aggregate 17,300,151 shares of common stock
were outstanding. There was no other class of voting securities outstanding at
that date. Each share of common stock held by a shareholder entitled such
shareholder to one vote on each matter that was voted at the Meeting. The
presence, in person or by proxy, of the holders of a majority of the outstanding
share of common stock was necessary to constitute a quorum at the Meeting.
Assuming that a quorum was present, the affirmative vote of the holders of a
majority of the shares of common stock outstanding was required to approve the
matters presented for approval at the Meeting.
