MISSISSAUGA, ON, Aug. 9, 2019 /CNW/ - The Second Cup Ltd. ("Second Cup" or the "Company") (TSX: SCU) announced today that it has amended the previously-disclosed Investment Agreement, dated July 31, 2017, with (among others) four separate holding companies controlled by Michael Serruya, Aaron Serruya, Jacques Serruya and Simon Serruya (collectively, the "Investors"). The amendment deletes the provision of the Investment Agreement granting the Investors' representative the right to designate two nominees for director of the Company for so long as any Investor (or the Investors collectively) owns 20% of the Corporation's common shares and one nominee if the Investors' collective ownership is below 20% but is greater than or equal to 10%. Michael Serruya and Aaron Serruya were designated as nominees, both of whom are currently serving on the Corporation's board of directors. Second Cup does not expect the amendment of the Investment Agreement to result in any changes to the current composition of its board of directors.
