07 July 2011 - 11:30PM
Marketwired
Societe d'exploration miniere Vior Inc. ("Vior" or the
"Corporation") (TSX VENTURE: VIO)(FRANKFURT: VL5) announces that in
light of the recent postal strike which ended on June 25, 2011, it
obtained today from the Superior Court of Quebec (the "Court") an
order under the Business Corporation Act (Quebec) (the "Order")
authorizing the postponement of its special meeting originally
scheduled for July 8, 2011 to July 20, 2011 at 10:00 am at the
Auberge Saint-Antoine located at 8 rue Saint-Antoine in Quebec city
(the "Meeting"). The purpose of the Meeting is to obtain the
approval of shareholders to a special resolution authorizing the
sale of Vior's remaining interest in the Douay project to Aurvista
Gold Corporation ("Aurvista") (see Vior's press releases dated
March 9, March 30, and May 26, 2011 for more information on the
proposed transaction with Aurvista).
The Order has also authorized the mailing of a notice of
postponement to all shareholders of Vior as at May 25, 2011, being
the original record date for the Meeting.
Given the recent postal strike, management believes that it is
important that all Vior shareholders receive the notice of meeting,
management information circular (the "Circular") and proxy
(collectively, the "Meeting Materials") prepared in connection with
the Meeting and have sufficient time to consider the proposed
transaction. "This transaction is in the best interest of Vior and
its shareholders, and it is important that we do everything thing
we can in light of the recent events to maximize shareholder
participation at the special meeting" said Claude St-Jacques,
President of Vior.
Copies of the Meeting Materials and the notice of postponement
are available under Vior's profile on the System for Electronic
Document Analysis and Retrieval (SEDAR) at www.sedar.com. Vior has
also posted a link to the Meeting Materials on its website at
www.vior.ca. Shareholders are encouraged to access and review
electronic copies of the Meeting Materials on these websites, to
carefully consider the information therein and to vote at the
Meeting either in person or by proxy.
Shareholders are not required to be present at the Meeting and
can exercise the voting rights attached to their common shares of
Vior (the "Vior Shares") in advance of the Meeting. The Order
acknowledged the proxies received to date by Vior and has declared
them to be valid for the revised date of the Meeting. The Order
also validated, for the purposes of the revised date of the
Meeting, the form of proxy sent for the original Meeting date to
Vior shareholders as at May 25, 2011. Shareholders may therefore
use the form of proxy received for the original Meeting.
All proxies must be submitted to the Corporation's registrar and
transfer agent, CIBC Mellon Trust Company ("CIBC Mellon"), such
that they are received at least 48 hours (excluding Saturdays,
Sundays and statutory holidays in the Province of Quebec) preceding
the time of the revised date of the Meeting or any adjournment(s)
or postponements thereof.
Shareholders of the Corporation can also submit their proxies as
follows:
