On December 10, 2012, Stonehouse caused a meeting requisition to be delivered to Intrinsyc and its current board of directors duly requesting and requisitioning the current board to call a special meeting of Intrinsyc's shareholders for the purpose of allowing Intrinsyc's shareholders to vote upon a resolution removing all of the existing directors of Intrinsyc and to elect seven new nominees in their place. In response, the current board of directors of Intrinsyc announced on December 20, 2012 that Intrinsyc had called an annual and special meeting of its shareholders, which will include the business outlined in the meeting requisition, to be held on May 14, 2013 (the "May 2013 Meeting").

On January 24, 2013, Stonehouse publicly announced the names of the individuals to be proposed by it for election as directors of Intrinsyc at the May 2013 Meeting, and filed on SEDAR an information circular dated January 24, 2013 containing information regarding those nominees.  The nominees to be proposed by Stonehouse include Michael W.
