LONDON, UK, April 3, 2013 /CNW/ - The board of directors of
Afferro Mining Inc. ("Afferro" or the "Company", TSX-V & AIM:
AFF) has adopted 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 at a shareholders' meeting. 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 with respect to all
nominees; and (iii) allowing shareholders to register an informed
vote, 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 board of directors intends to seek
shareholder ratification of the Policy at Afferro's next annual and
special meeting.
