Margot Naudie received a greater number of votes withheld than votes in favour of her election as a director of the Company. In accordance with the Company's Majority Voting Policy, Ms. Naudie immediately tendered an offer to resign as a Company director (a "Resignation Offer"). Ms. Naudie will continue to serve as a director until such Resignation Offer is accepted and becomes effective. The members of the Board of Directors of the Company, excluding Ms. Naudie, will evaluate the Resignation Offer in accordance with their fiduciary duties to, and in furtherance of the best interests of, the Company and its shareholders, and will make a determination of the action to take with respect to the Resignation Offer not later than the 90th day following this news release.
The Company understands that Ms. Naudie did not receive a majority of votes in favour of her election due to one of the proxy advisory firms having recommended a vote to withhold on Ms. Naudie's election due to perceived over-boarding, based on the criteria used by that proxy advisory firm. The views of shareholders are important to the Company's Board of Directors, and the Chair may engage with shareholders who voted to withhold on Ms. Naudie's election and consider any feedback received.
