(TSX:CDV), a leading manufacturer of space hardware subsystems, announced that the Board of Directors has adopted a new By‐Law Number 6A (the "Advance Notice By‐Law") which implements an advance notice policy (the "Advance Notice Provisions") requiring advance notice to the Corporation in circumstances where nominations of persons for election to the Board of Directors are made by shareholders of the Corporation other than pursuant to: (i) the requisition of a meeting, or (ii) a shareholder proposal, both made pursuant to the provisions of the Canada Business Corporations Act (the "Act").

The Advance Notice By‐Law, which implements the Advance Notice Provisions, is effective as of the date it was approved by the Board of Directors, being March 7, 2014. In accordance with the Act, the Advance Notice By‐Law is subject to confirmation by shareholders at the Corporation's Annual Meeting scheduled for April 23, 2014.
