NOT FOR DISTRIBUTION TO U.S. NEWS WIRE SERVICES OR FOR DISSEMINATION IN THE U.S.
Ceiba Energy Services Inc. ("Ceiba", "Ceiba Energy" or the "Corporation") (TSX
VENTURE:CEB), announces the adoption of an advanced notice bylaw (the "Bylaw").
The Bylaw, as approved by the board of directors of the Corporation (the
"Board"), includes, among other things, a provision that requires advance notice
to the Corporation in circumstances where nominations of persons for election to
the Board are made by shareholders of the Corporation other than pursuant to:
(i) a requisition of a meeting made pursuant to the provisions of the Business
Corporations Act (Alberta) (the "Act"); or (ii) shareholder proposal made
pursuant to the provisions of the Act.
The purpose of the Advance Notice By-law is to foster a variety of interests of
the shareholders and Ceiba by ensuring that all shareholders, including those
participating in a meeting by proxy rather than in person, receive adequate
notice of the nominations to be considered at a meeting and can thereby exercise
their voting rights in an informed manner. In addition, the Advance Notice
By-law is intended to provide a reasonable framework for shareholders to
nominate directors and should assist in facilitating an orderly and efficient
meeting process.
The Bylaw fixes a deadline by which holders of record of common shares of Ceiba
must submit director nominations to the Corporation prior to any annual or
special meeting of shareholders and sets forth the specific information that a
shareholder must include in the written notice to the Corporation for an
effective nomination to occur. No person will be eligible for election as a
director of the Corporation unless nominated in accordance with the provisions
of the Bylaw. In the case of an annual general meeting of shareholders, notice
to the Corporation must be made not less than 30 nor more than 65 days prior to
the date of the annual general meeting of shareholders; provided, however, that
in the event that the annual general meeting of shareholders is to be held on a
date that, is less than 50 days after the date (the "Notice Date") on which the
first public announcement of the date of the annual meeting was made, notice by
the nominating shareholder may be made not later than the close of business on
the tenth (10th) day following the Notice Date. In the case of a special meeting
(which is not also an annual general meeting) of shareholders called for the
purpose of electing directors (whether or not called for other purposes), notice
to the Corporation must be made not later than the close of business on the
fifteenth (15th) day following the day on which the first public announcement of
the date of the special meeting of shareholders was made. The Bylaw is effective
immediately. At the next meeting of shareholders of the Corporation,
shareholders will be asked to confirm and ratify the Bylaw. The full text of the
Bylaw will be posted under Ceiba Energy's SEDAR profile at www.sedar.com .
