Coalcorp Mining Inc. shareholder coalition supports former management
application to the Ontario Securities Commission
As Coalcorp stated:
"The Company's position is that the Proposed Transaction is not a "related party transaction" and, therefore intends to oppose the Application aggressively at the OSC in the interests of all the Company's shareholders".
Why not let minority shareholders decide the vote in the "special resolution meeting" if this is not a related party transaction? This would be acting in the best interest of ALL shareholders.
Although the board of directors believes that former management is acting in counter attack due to their position as defendants in a legal action initiated by Pala, us retail shareholders do not want Pala investments to control Coalcorp's board of directors and interest.

Minority shareholders only want to be treated fairly and with honesty by current management of Coalcorp, in terms of getting the best price possible for the assets. Where are the other bidders? What has been done to try and sell the assets at a better price? The management refuses to answer questions, this speaks for itself...
What benefit does Pala Investements have in agreeing to this deal? They have over 150$ million invested in the company through common shares and warrants. This deal will only make them lose money... How are these actions from Coalcorp's current management unlocking shareholder value?
They have stated that their intention is to make CCJ a litigation company. Shareholders have not agreed to this. At this time we ask that Coalcorp management start acting in the best interest of the shareholders and sell the assets at fair market value and stop the agreement with Goldman Sachs.
Minority shareholders continue to vote NO!!!
