(TSXV-PGV)
TORONTO, Jan. 23,
2023 /CNW/ - Prodigy Ventures Inc. (TSXV: PGV)
("Prodigy" or the "Company") today announced that it has called a
special meeting of shareholders to be held at 1:00 p.m. (Toronto time) on March
8, 2023 (the "Meeting"). At the Meeting, Shareholders will
be asked to consider and, if thought advisable, pass a special
resolution authorizing and approving a reduction of the stated
capital account of the Company's common shares (the "Stated Capital
Reduction Resolution") for the purposes of effecting a return of
capital to shareholders.
The Stated Capital Reduction is being proposed in connection
with a potential distribution to be made by the Company in the
amount of $0.041 per share to be paid
from the net proceeds of the consideration received from the sale
of TCB Corporation (see press release dated January 18, 2023). Further details
regarding the potential distribution and the approval being sought
will be set forth in the meeting materials to be provided to
shareholders in early February and filed on www.sedar.com at
the same time.
If the Stated Capital Reduction Resolution is approved the board
of directors will then make a determination with respect to
proceeding with the proposed distribution and the amount
thereof. No determination has yet been made as to whether to
pay this distribution, the amount of the distribution or the record
date for the distribution and as such there is no assurance that
such distribution will be declared in the amount currently proposed
or at all or the timing thereof.
Assuming that the Stated Capital Reduction Resolution is
approved the Company will then issue a further press release with
details of any distribution if, as and when approved by the board
of directors.
