VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA — (Marketwired) — 05/15/13 — Intrinsyc Software International, Inc. (TSX: ICS) (“Intrinsyc” or the “Company”), a leading provider of solutions for the development of embedded and wireless devices, today announced the adoption by its board of directors (the “Board”) of amendments to its by-laws (the “Amendments”) to include advance notice provisions (the “Advance Notice Provisions”) requiring that advance notice be provided to the Company in circumstances where nominations of persons for election to the Board are made by shareholders other than pursuant to: (i) a requisition of a meeting made pursuant to the provisions of the Canada Business Corporations Act (the “Act”); or (ii) a shareholder proposal made pursuant to the provisions of the Act.
Among other things, the Advance Notice Provisions fix a deadline by which shareholders must submit a notice of director nominations to the Company prior to any annual or special meeting of shareholders where directors are to be elected and sets forth the information that a shareholder must include in the notice for it to be valid.
In the case of an annual meeting of shareholders, notice to the Company must be made not less than 30 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 (which is not also an annual meeting) notice to the Company must be made no 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 Advance Notice Provisions provide a clear process for shareholders to follow to nominate directors and set out a reasonable timeframe for nominee submissions along with a requirement for accompanying information. The purpose of the Advance Notice Provisions is to treat all shareholders fairly by ensuring that all shareholders, including those participating in a meeting by proxy rather than in person, receive adequate notice of the nominations to be considered at a meeting and can thereby exercise their voting rights in an informed manner. In addition, the Advance Notice Provisions should assist in facilitating an orderly and efficient meeting process.
The Amendments are effective immediately. In accordance with the provisions of the Act, the Amendments will be subject to confirmation by shareholders at the annual and special meeting of shareholders, which will be held on June 26, 2013 (the “Meeting”). The Amendments will apply to the Meeting; for the Meeting, any nomination by shareholders for a proposed director that is received by the Company on or before May 27, 2013 will be deemed to have been delivered on a timely basis.
