TORONTO, Oct. 4, 2019 /CNW/ - Callidus Capital Corporation ("Callidus" or the "Company") (TSX:CBL) today announced that it is filing an amended and restated management information circular (the "Amended Circular") in connection with a special meeting (the "Meeting") of holders of Callidus' common shares ("Shareholders"). The Meeting, which was previously scheduled to be held on October 23, 2019, will now be held on October 31, 2019 at 2:00 p.m. (Toronto time) at the offices of Fasken Martineau DuMoulin LLP, 333 Bay Street, Suite 2400, Toronto, Ontario, M5H 2T6.
At the meeting, Shareholders will be asked to approve the Company's previously announced plan of arrangement with Braslyn Ltd. under Section 182 of the Business Corporations Act (Ontario) (the "Transaction") pursuant to an arrangement agreement dated August 15, 2019.
Callidus has filed the Amended Circular following the grant of an order by the Ontario Securities Commission to Callidus pursuant to section 140(2) of the Securities Act (Ontario) to hold confidential certain information contained in the management information circular filed on SEDAR on September 24, 2019 (the "Former Circular"). Such information is not considered by Callidus or the Special Committee of its Board of Directors to be material to Shareholders and does not affect the recommendations, analysis or opinions contained in the Former Circular or the Amended Circular.
The Transaction is subject to approval of an affirmative vote of at least two-thirds of the votes cast by the Shareholders present in person or represented by proxy at the Meeting and a majority of the votes cast by Shareholders, other than Shareholders whose votes are required to be excluded for the purposes of "minority approval" under Multilateral Instrument 61-101 - Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions. Further details regarding the Transaction are included in the Amended Circular, which will be available under the Company's profile at www.sedar.com.
