Prospect Park Capital to Focus on Resource Sector
02 Octobre 2020 - 11:00PM
Prospect Park Capital Corp. (the “
Company”)
(TSXV:PPK), a public investment issuer, announces today that its
board of directors (the “
Board”) has amended its
Statement of Investment Policies and Procedures (the
“
Investment Policy”) to change the focus of the
Company from healthcare investments to investments in the resource
sector.
The Investment Policy provides broad investment
guidelines for the management of the Company with respect to the
assets of the Company. A copy of the new Investment Policy is
available under the Company’s profile on SEDAR at
www.sedar.com.
In addition, with the Company’s new focus and in
an effort to improve market liquidity of the common shares of the
Company, the Company has called a special shareholders’ meeting
(the “Meeting”) for November 16, 2020, to seek
shareholder approval to split the Common Shares on the basis of up
to three (3) post-split Common Shares for each one (1) pre-split
Common Share (the “Split”), or such number of
post-split shares as may be determined by the Board or may be
required to obtain approval of the Split from the TSX Venture
Exchange (the “Exchange”). Additional information
relating to the proposed Split will be included in the management
information circular of the Company, which will be available on
SEDAR at www.sedar.com on or about October 20, 2020. Shareholders
of the Company will be asked to pass a special resolution
authorizing the Board, at a time it sees fit, to amend the
Company’s articles to effect the Split. There are currently
4,740,824 Common Shares issued and outstanding. If and upon the
Split becoming effective, on a maximum of three (3) to one (1)
basis, it is expected there will be approximately 14,222,472
post-Split Common Shares issued and outstanding on a non-diluted
basis (assuming no additional Common Shares are issued after the
date hereof). The Board believes the Split is necessary in order
for the Company to more easily raise capital, attract business
opportunities and improve market liquidity. The Board, in its sole
discretion, may revoke the resolution approving the Split and
abandon the Split without further approval, action by, or prior
notice to shareholders. The Split is subject to shareholder and
regulatory approval, including the approval of the Exchange.
Registered shareholders are advised not to mail in the
certificate(s) representing their Common Shares until they receive
a letter of transmittal and confirmation from the Company by way of
news release that the Board has decided to implement the Split.
In addition, the board of directors of the
Company has approved the adoption of an advance notice by-law (the
“Advance Notice By-law”) regarding director
elections. The purpose of the Advance Notice By-law is to provide a
clear process for the shareholders, directors and management to
follow when nominating directors of the Company. Such a by-law
will ensure that shareholders receive adequate notice of director
nominations and sufficient information regarding all director
nominees and to allow shareholders to register an informed vote
after having been afforded reasonable time for appropriate
deliberation. The Advance Notice By-law, 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.
This Advance Notice By-law also sets a deadline by which director
nominations must be submitted to the Company prior to any annual
general or special meeting of the shareholders and also sets out
the required 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 Advance
Notice By-law. In the case of an annual meeting of the
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
general meeting. If the annual meeting is being held on a date
that is less than 40 days following the date on which the first
public announcement of the 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) called for the
purpose of electing directors, 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. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the board
of directors may, in its sole discretion, waive any requirement of
the Advance Notice By-law.
For more information on the matters to be voted
on at the Meeting, please see the Company’s management information
circular which will be filed on the Company’s profile on SEDAR at
www.sedar.com at the requite time prior to the Meeting.
