TORONTO, ONTARIO, Nov 12, 2013 (Marketwired via COMTEX) — Oremex Silver /quotes/zigman/6518674/realtime CA:OAG -16.67% (the “Company”) will continue with its plans to hold its duly-convened Annual General Meeting of shareholders (the “Meeting”) on December 31, 2013. The related proxy materials and management information circular will be provided to shareholders on or prior to the week of December 6, 2013, in accordance with prescribed timelines.
The Company originally convened an annual and special meeting of shareholders by issuing the requisite notice on September 27, 2013, for a meeting to be held November 26, 2013 and, as such, was under no obligation to convene another meeting in response to a shareholder requisition which was subsequently received by the directors of the Company and which action had also been publically announced by the shareholder making the requisition.
The Company subsequently convened the Meeting for December 31, 2013, primarily as result of having focussed its recent efforts to, among other things, continue to seek a reinstatement for trading with the TSX Venture Exchange, which has granted approval to the Company to formally adopt a fixed stock option incentive plan in lieu of a rolling stock option plan, reserving for issuance of a maximum of 8,875,000 stock options under the plan (such that there was no longer a need for special business to be contemplated at the meeting). The Company is also aware of a form of proxy circular prepared by the same shareholder which has been made publically available but has not been prepared in connection with Meeting to be held on December 31, 2013, at which all shareholders are invited to attend. The Company continues to work towards implementing its strategic plan and corporate objectives and will respond to any further matters raised prior to the Meeting in due course.
