LAVAL, QC, Sept. 4, 2012 /CNW Telbec/ - 20-20 Technologies Inc. ("20-20") (TSX: TWT) announced today that, in connection with the proposed acquisition of all of its issued and outstanding common shares by an affiliate of Vector Capital Corporation ("Vector") pursuant to a plan of arrangement under the Business Corporations Act (Québec) (the "Arrangement"), its Board of Directors authorized the implementation of certain minor technical amendments to the plan of arrangement to be considered and voted upon by 20-20's shareholders at the meeting scheduled to be held this coming Wednesday, September 5, 2012.
The Board of Directors of 20-20 has decided to amend the plan of arrangement in accordance with its terms (1) to give effect to a proposed statutory amalgamation of 20-20 and Vector following the transfer of all of the shares of 20-20 to Vector and (2) to clarify the treatment of the roll-over shares to be transferred to Vector by Mignault Holding Inc. pursuant to the Arrangement, given that no other shareholders availed themselves of the "holdco alternative" described in the arrangement agreement. These proposed amendments will not have any effect on the shareholders of 20-20, other than Mignault Holding Inc., or on the consideration that such shareholders are entitled to receive in exchange for their common shares of 20-20.
