TORONTO, April 8, 2020 /CNW/ - Economic Investment Trust
Limited ("Economic") (TSX: EVT) announced today a change in the
location of its annual meeting of shareholders from Vantage Venues,
150 King Street West, Toronto,
Ontario, to 165 University Avenue, Toronto, Ontario.
The health and well-being of our shareholders, employees and
community is our number one priority. Considering the
directives from public health officials on group settings, the
Board of Directors believes the safest way to participate in the
upcoming annual meeting is remotely. Economic has organized a live
webinar to support public health efforts in managing COVID-19
and is urging its shareholders to vote by proxy and asking
interested stakeholders and shareholders to remain at home and not
attend the annual meeting in person. Please check Economic's
website (www.evt.ca) where further details will be provided on how
to attend the live webinar.
This is not a virtual meeting. Shareholders cannot vote as
part of the webinar and are strongly encouraged to vote by proxy in
advance of the meeting by one of the methods described in the
Management Information Circular (available at www.sedar.com) and
proxy materials previously distributed for the meeting. The
deadline to vote your proxy in advance of the meeting is
Tuesday, April 21, 2020 at
11:30 a.m. Eastern Time.
Note that proxy materials previously distributed will not be
updated to reflect the change of location and addition of a live
webinar. Proxy materials may continue to be used to vote your
shares in connection with the annual meeting.
Shareholders and interested stakeholders may send questions
regarding the annual meeting to cartyr@e-lfinancial.com for
more information.
