Notice of a Meeting of Shareholders called for any business other than consideration of the financial statements and auditors report, fixing the number of directors for the following year, election of directors and reappointment of the incumbent auditor, will state the nature of that business in sufficient detail to permit the shareholder to form a reasoned judgment on that business, and will state the text of any special resolution or by-law to be submitted to the meeting.

5.5Quorum

 

In the event the Corporation has fewer than 15 shareholders of the Corporation, two or more joint holders being counted as one shareholder, then shareholders holding a majority of the shares of the Corporation entitled to vote at that meeting being present in person or represented by proxy at the meeting shall constitute quorum for that meeting. In the event the Corporation has 15 or more shareholders of the Corporation, two or more joint holders being counted as one shareholder, then Shareholders holding not less than twenty five (25%) percent of the shares of the Corporation entitled to vote at that meeting being present in person or represented by proxy at the meeting shall constitute quorum for that meeting. If a quorum is present at the opening of a Meeting of Shareholders, the shareholders present or represented may proceed with the business of the meeting, even if a quorum is not present throughout the meeting. If a quorum is not present at the time appointed for a Meeting of Shareholders, or within any reasonable time following that time as the shareholders present or represented may determine, the shareholders present or represented may adjourn the meeting to a fixed time and place not less than seven days later but may not transact any other business. At that adjourned meeting the holders of shares carrying voting rights who are present or represented will constitute a quorum (whether or not they hold a majority of the shares entitled to vote at the adjourned meeting or twenty five (25%) percent of the issued shares of the Corporation entitled to vote at that meeting, as applicable) and may transact the business for which the meeting was originally called, even if this quorum is not present throughout the meeting.

5.8.2Where no ballot is demanded or required following a vote by a show of hands upon a question, a declaration by the chair of the meeting that the vote upon the question has been carried, carried by a particular majority or not carried, and an entry to that effect in the minutes of the meeting, will be prima facie evidence of the fact without proof of the number or proportion of the votes recorded in favour of or against any resolution or other proceeding in respect of that question, and the result of the vote taken will be the decision of the shareholders with respect to that question.

 

5.8.3A ballot, if demanded or required, will be taken in the manner the chair of the meeting directs. A demand or requirement for a ballot may be withdrawn at any time before the taking of the ballot. If a ballot is taken, each person present will be entitled, in respect of the shares which he is entitled to vote at the meeting upon the question, to that number of votes provided by the Act or the Articles, and the result of the ballot will be the decision of the shareholders with respect to that question.

 

5.8.4If a Meeting of Shareholders is held by electronic means or telephone or other communication facility, then any person participating in, and entitled to vote at, that meeting may vote, in accordance with the Act, by electronic means or telephone or other communication facility that the Corporation has made available for that purpose.
