Marketwired Canada
Huntington Exploration Inc. ("HEI" or the "Corporation") (TSX VENTURE:HEI)
announced today that the Board of Directors of HEI has approved the adoption of
an advance notice by-law (the "Advance Notice By-law"), which requires advance
notice to HEI in circumstances where nominations of persons for election to the
Board are made by shareholders other than pursuant to a requisition of a meeting
made pursuant to the provisions of the Business Corporations Act (Alberta)
("ABCA") or a shareholder proposal made pursuant to the provisions of the ABCA.
Among other things, the Advance Notice By-law fixes a deadline by which
shareholders must submit a notice of director nominations to HEI prior to any
annual or special meeting of shareholders where directors are to be elected and
sets forth the information that a shareholder must include in the notice for it
to be valid. In the case of an annual general meeting of shareholders, notice to
the Chief Executive Officer of HEI 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 called for at 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 must be given 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 Chief Executive Officer of HEI
must be made not later than the close of business on the fifteenth (15th) day
following the date on which the first public announcement of the date of the
special meeting of shareholders was made.
The purpose of the Advance Notice By-law is to foster a variety of interests of
the shareholders and HEI 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.
At the next annual general and special meeting of shareholders of HEI to be held
on August 29, 2014, the shareholders will be asked to confirm and ratify the
Advance Notice By-law. A copy of the Advance Notice By-law has been filed under
HEI's SEDAR profile at www.sedar.com.
HEI is an exploration-focused company actively pursuing opportunities in the oil
and natural gas business in the Western Canada sedimentary basin.
Neither the TSX Venture Exchange nor its Regulation Services Provider (as that
term is defined in the policies of the TSX Venture Exchange) accepts
responsibility for the adequacy or accuracy of this release.
