Corsa Coal Announces Mailing of Shareholder Meeting Materials

CANONSBURG, PA, July 15, 2016 /CNW/ - Corsa Coal Corp. (TSXV: CSO) ("Corsa" or the "Company") announces the mailing of meeting materials with respect to Corsa's annual and special meeting of shareholders (the "Meeting") to be held at 9:00 a.m. (Toronto time) on Wednesday, August 10, 2016, at the offices of Stikeman Elliott LP (Main Boardroom, 49th Floor) in Toronto, Ontario. Meeting materials will be available online through our website at www.corsacoal.com or under Corsa's profile on SEDAR at www.sedar.com.

At the Meeting, shareholders will be asked to vote in respect of, among other things: (i) approving a future consolidation of the Company's issued and outstanding common shares on the basis of one (1) post-consolidation common share for up to 100 pre-consolidation common shares if, and at such time following the date of the Meeting, as the board of directors of the Company (the "Board") so determine (the "Share Consolidation"); and (ii) authorizing the Company to issue an unlimited number of preferred shares, issuable in series, with such rights, privileges, restrictions and conditions as the board of directors of the Company may determine from time to time, all as more particularly described in the management information circular mailed to shareholders in connection with the Meeting.

Although approval for the Share Consolidation is being sought at the Meeting, such Share Consolidation would become effective at a date in the future to be determined by the Board when the Board considers it to be in the best interests of the Company to implement such a Share Consolidation. The Share Consolidation is also subject to regulatory approval (including approval and acceptance by the TSX Venture Exchange). Similarly, any potential future issuances of preferred shares would occur at a date in the future to be determined by the Board.
