Marketwired Canada
Immunotec Inc. (TSX VENTURE:IMM), a Canadian based company and a leader in the
wellness industry (the "Corporation" or "Immunotec") announced today that at a
meeting of its board of directors (the "Board") held on this date, the Board
approved the following matters:
-- the ratification of the termination of Mr. Robert Henry as CEO and
Chairman of the Board of the Corporation which occurred on May 10, 2013
and the termination of Mr. Henry as director of the Corporation's
subsidiaries. The Board asked for the resignation of Mr. Henry as a
director of the Corporation and its subsidiaries. The Chairman indicated
to Mr. Henry that directors representing over 50% of the issued and
outstanding shares held in the capital of Immunotec (the "Shares") voted
in favour of his dismissal. As Mr. Henry declined to resign, the Board
also approved the calling of a special meeting of the shareholders of
Immunotec for the purpose of removing Mr. Henry from its Board;
-- the appointment of Mr. Rod Budd, who has been a director since 2011, as
Chairman of the Board, and of Mr. Charles Roberts, one of the founders
of the Corporation, as Chairman Emeritus of the Corporation;
-- the ratification of the appointment of Mr. Charles Orr as CEO of the
Corporation as of June 1st, 2013, the approval of his employment
agreement as well as the grant of options (the "Options"), pursuant to
the Immunotec Stock Option Plan, entitling him to acquire up to an
aggregate of 500,000 Shares. These Options will be issued on the date
which is 2 trading days after the issuance of the Corporation's
financial results of the second quarter of the 2013 financial year, at
an exercise price established at the greater of $0.30 or the market
price of the Shares at the close of business on the day preceding the
date of grant, since the Board believes that the current market price of
the Corporation's Shares is undervalued. These Options will vest over a
two-year period, with 250,000 vesting on each of June 1, 2014 and June
1, 2015. Each Option is exercisable, once vested, for a period of five
years from the date of the grant. Mr. Orr's role as Lead Director of the
Corporation was terminated due to his CEO appointment.
