VANCOUVER, BC–(Marketwired – December 07, 2016) – Movit Media Corp. (TSX VENTURE: MV) (the “Company” or “Movit”) wishes to provide the following corporate update:
Annual and Special Meeting of Shareholders
The Company has scheduled an annual and special meeting of shareholders to be held on December 30, 2016 (the “Meeting”), at 10:00 a.m. at the Company’s office located at Richmond, British Columbia. The Notice of Meeting and Information Circular for the Meeting have been mailed to the shareholders and is available on SEDAR. Items of business include:
- Election of Directors;
- Re-appointment and remuneration of Auditor;
- Re-approval of the Company’s existing Stock Option Plan;
- Approval of a share consolidation at a ratio of up to a 50-for-1 basis (the “Consolidation”).
The Board has concluded that the Consolidation would be in the best interests of the Shareholders as it could lead to increased interest by a wider audience of potential investors and could better position the Company to obtain financing and pursue acquisition opportunities. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Board may determine not to implement the Consolidation at any time after the Meeting and after receipt of necessary regulatory approvals without further action on the part of the Shareholders. The Board, in its sole discretion, may also revoke the resolution approving the Consolidation and abandon the Consolidation without further approval, action by, or prior notice to Shareholders. The Consolidation is subject to Shareholder and regulatory approval, including the approval of the TSX Venture Exchange. As at November 25, 2016, the Company has 109,414,615 common shares issued and outstanding. The number of common shares which would be issued and outstanding after giving effect to the Consolidation would be 2,188,292. The name of the Company will not be changed. The Board and management recommends shareholders approve the Consolidation..
Assuming the Consolidation is approved at the Meeting, registered Shareholders are advised not to mail in the certificate(s) representing their common shares until they receive a letter of transmittal and confirmation from the Company by way of news release that the board of directors of the Company has decided to implement the Consolidation.
