October 18 2013 - 12:46PM
Access Wire
Emgold Mining Corporation ("Emgold" or the "Company") announces the
approval and adoption by its Board of Directors of an Advance
Notice Policy (the "Policy"). The purpose of the Policy is to
provide shareholders, directors and management of the Company with
a clear framework for nominating directors of the Company. The
Company is committed to: (i) facilitating an orderly and efficient
annual general or, where the need arises, special meeting, process;
(ii) ensuring that all shareholders receive adequate notice of the
director nominations and sufficient information regarding all
director nominees; and (iii) allowing shareholders to register an
informed vote after having been afforded reasonable time for
appropriate deliberation. The Policy is intended to further these
objectives.
The Policy, among
other things, includes a provision that requires advance notice to
the Company in certain circumstances where nominations of persons
for election to the Board of Directors are made by shareholders of
the Company. The Policy fixes a deadline by which director
nominations must be submitted to the Company prior to any annual or
special meeting of shareholders and sets forth the information that
must be included in the notice to the Company. No person will be
eligible for election as a director of the Company unless nominated
in accordance with the Policy.
In the case of an
annual meeting of shareholders, notice to the Company must be made
not less than 30 days and not more than 65 days prior to the date
of the annual meeting; provided, however, that, in the event that
the annual meeting is to be held on a date that is less than 50
days after the date on which the first public announcement of the
date of the annual meeting was made, notice may be made not later
than the close of business on the 10th day following such public
announcement.
In the case of a
special meeting of shareholders called for the purpose of electing
directors (whether or not called for other purposes), notice to the
Company must be made not later than the close of business on the
15th day following the day on which the first public announcement
of the date of the special meeting was made.
The full text of the
Policy is available under the Company's profile at www.sedar.com
and on the Company's website (www.emgold.com) or upon request by
contacting the Company's Corporate Secretary, Lisa Maxwell at (778)
375-3106.
The Policy is in
effect as at the date of this news release. Pursuant to the terms
of the Policy, the Company will seek shareholder ratification of
the Policy at its next annual general meeting of shareholders (the
"Meeting"). If the Policy is not confirmed at the Meeting, the
policy will terminate and be of no further force and effect
following the termination of the meeting.
