Posera-HDX Announces Adoption of Advance Notice By-Law

TORONTO, Oct. 1, 2015 /CNW/ - Posera-HDX Ltd. (TSX: HDX) (the "Company" or "Posera-HDX") announced today that its Board of Directors has adopted By-Law No. 2 of the Corporation (the "Advance Notice By-Law") the purpose of which is to require advance notice to be provided to the Corporation in circumstances where nominations of persons for election to the Board are made by shareholders of the Corporation other than pursuant to: (i) a requisition of a meeting of shareholders made pursuant to the provisions of the Business Corporations Act (Ontario); or (ii) a shareholder proposal made pursuant to the provisions of that Act.

The Advance Notice By-law is similar to the advance notice by-laws adopted by many other Canadian public companies. The Corporation believes that the provision is considered to be good corporate governance. The purpose is to foster a variety of interests of the shareholders and the Corporation by ensuring that all shareholders, including those participating in a meeting by proxy rather than in person, receive adequate notice of the nominations to be considered at a meeting and can thereby exercise their voting rights in an informed manner. In addition, the Advance Notice By-Law should assist in facilitating an orderly and efficient meeting process, provides shareholders, directors and management of the Corporation with a clear framework for nominating directors. Specifically, the Advance Notice By-law requires advance notice to the Corporation in circumstances where nominations of persons for election as a director of Corporation are made by shareholders other than pursuant to a "proposal" made in accordance with the provisions of the Business Corporations Act (Ontario) (the "Act") or a requisition of shareholders made in accordance with the provisions of the Act.

In the case of an annual meeting of the shareholders of the Corporation, notice to the Corporation must be made not less than 30 days before the date of the annual meeting; provided, however, 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 10^th day following such public announcement.

In the case of a special meeting of shareholders (which is not an annual meeting), notice to the Corporation must be made not later than the close of business on the 15^th day following the day on which the first public announcement of the date of the special meeting was made.

The amended by-laws, which includes the Advance Notice By-law, are effective immediately and will be placed before shareholders for ratification at the next meeting of shareholders of the Corporation. A copy of the Advance Notice By-Law will be available at www.sedar.com.
