Meeting to vote on proposed transaction
As described in the Company's press release dated
As described in the Circular, the board of directors of the Company (the "Board") established a special committee of independent directors to oversee the strategic alternatives review (the "Strategic Alternatives Review") and make recommendations to the Board (the "Special Committee"). The Proposed Transaction is the result of this Strategic Alternatives Review, which was a comprehensive and thorough review including, (i) careful consideration of a number of strategic alternatives, including continuing as a stand-alone business, seeking potential equity/debt financing, pursuing a restructuring and/or capitalization, and other various commercial arrangements, (ii) engaging in formal discussions with a number of interested parties and the conducting of a formal strategic auction process, (iii) full and careful consideration of the submitted offers and proposals from the auction process, and (iv) the receipt of a fairness opinion.
Based on the unanimous recommendation of the Special Committee and the unanimous endorsement of the entire Board, Coalcorp continues to believe that the Proposed Transaction is in the best interest of the Company, its shareholders and other stakeholders. Accordingly, the Board unanimously recommends that Coalcorp shareholders vote in favour of the special resolution approving the Proposed Transaction.
The Circular sets out, among other things, the reasons for the recommendations above, the reasons to vote for the transaction, the consequences if the Proposed Transaction is not completed and also contains other important information concerning the Proposed Transaction.
