TORONTO, June 13, 2013 /CNW/ - Longford Energy Inc. (NEX - LFD.H) ("Longford") and Earth Video Camera Inc. ("UrtheCast") are pleased to announce that, at the annual and special meeting of Longford's shareholders held earlier today (the "Meeting"), Longford's shareholders overwhelmingly approved all resolutions relating to the previously announced plan of arrangement (the "Arrangement") involving Longford and UrtheCast.

The resolutions that Longford's shareholders approved related to (i) the issuance of Longford common shares in exchange for all of the issued and outstanding Class A common shares of UrtheCast, (ii) a consolidation of Longford's common shares upon completion of the Arrangement, (iii) changing Longford's name to "UrtheCast Corp." upon completion of the Arrangement, (iv) adoption of a new equity compensation incentive plan by Longford, (v) the issuance of common shares to Goodwood Management Services Ltd.

A special meeting of UrtheCast shareholders to consider the Arrangement is scheduled to occur on June 14, 2013 and, should the Arrangement be approved by UrtheCast shareholders, an application to the Supreme Court of British Columbia for a final order approving the Arrangement is expected to be made on or about June 18, 2013. If UrtheCast shareholder approval and court approval are obtained and the other conditions to the completion of the Arrangement are satisfied or waived, Longford and UrtheCast expect that the Arrangement will be completed on or about June 19, 2013.  Longford's common shares are expected to begin trading on the TSX under the ticker symbol "UR" during the week of June 24, 2013.
