BOLTON, ONTARIO–(Marketwired – June 14, 2017) – Titanium Transportation Group Inc. (“Titanium” or the “Company”) (TSX VENTURE:TTR) is pleased to announce that its previously announced share purchase plan was approved by shareholders at the Company’s Annual and Special Meeting (the “Meeting”) held on June 13, 2017.
A total of 16,872,735 shares were represented at the Meeting, representing 45% of the issued and outstanding common shares of the Company as at the record date. Shareholders voted 99.8% in favor of the Share Purchase Plan.
Mr. Ted Daniel, CEO of Titanium commented: “The goal of our share purchase plan is to encourage an ownership interest in the operation, growth and development of our Company by all of our truck drivers and staff. Companies with employee share purchase plans have demonstrated superior profitability and lower employee turnover rates, two very important considerations, especially once truck transportation capacity begins to tighten in the industry. As the only Canadian trucking company with a share purchase plan like ours, we believe this will further differentiate Titanium from its competitors.”
Shareholders also voted in favor of the reappointment of Williams & Partners as auditors of the Company and the approval of the Company’s rolling stock option plan. All candidates proposed as directors were duly elected as follows:
| Nominee | Votes in Favor | % | Votes Withheld | % | ||
| Ted Daniel | 16,270,105 | 99.7 | % | 41,130 | 0.3 | % |
| Lu Galasso | 16,285,734 | 99.8 | % | 25,501 | 0.2 | % |
| Bill Chyfetz | 16,285,735 | 99.8 | % | 25,500 | 0.2 | % |
| Ari Levy | 16,285,735 | 99.8 | % | 25,500 | 0.2 | % |
