UBS holds Annual and Special Meeting
TORONTO, Feb. 24 /CNW/ - Unique Broadband Systems, Inc. ("UBS" or the "Company") (TSX Venture: UBS) reported on its Annual and Special Meeting of Shareholders, held today in Toronto.
Gerald McGoey, the Company's Chairman and CEO, reviewed the key corporate developments that have taken place over the past year, including the sale of Look's spectrum and broadcast license, before outlining Look's short-term strategy to maximize shareholder value. Look has approximately $360 million in tax assets and is working with BMO Capital Markets to monetize this asset. While this effort is underway, Look will invest its existing cash in short-term liquid investments, the income from which will be tax sheltered. UBS supports the view of Look and its advisors that having tax assets together with the available cash enhances the potential of realizing greater value for Look's shareholders.
As events unfold, Look's Board of Directors is considering, among other things, a number of alternatives concerning the best methodology for the distribution of cash to shareholders.
Other business at the meeting included the re-election of Gerald McGoey, Louis Mitrovich and Douglas Reeson as directors of the Company and the appointment of Grant Thornton LLP as the Company's auditor for the 2010 fiscal year. Also approved at the meeting were changes to the Company's general By-Laws related to voting at Board of Directors' meetings and filling of Board of Directors' vacancies.
