Iron Compass Requisitions DIRTT Environmental Solutions Ltd. Shareholder Meeting

GREENWICH, Conn., March 21, 2018 /CNW/ -- Iron Compass LLC and Iron Compass GP, LLC, on behalf of themselves and funds they manage, Iron Compass Partners LP and Iron Compass North Partners LP (collectively, "Iron Compass") announced today that they have requisitioned a special meeting of shareholders of DIRTT Environmental Solutions Ltd. ("DIRTT" or the "Company") in order for DIRTT's shareholders to consider and if thought appropriate, approve resolutions to protect and enhance the abilities of DIRTT's shareholders to elect directors of the Company (the "Shareholder Election Rights Resolutions"). The Shareholder Election Rights Resolutions reflect Toronto Stock Exchange requirements and judicial opinion on fair shareholder election practice and confer important new rights to DIRTT's shareholders in the process to elect directors at DIRTT annual meetings. As part of its effort to bring change to the governance of DIRTT through a campaign for board accountability, Iron Compass has proposed that the Shareholder Election Rights Resolutions be voted on by DIRTT's shareholders at its upcoming 2018 annual meeting (the "Meeting").

Once the Company has formally called and issued a notice of the Meeting and its management information circular for the Meeting (the "Management Circular"), Iron Compass expects to issue a supplement to or amendment and restatement of its Circular (see below) containing additional information concerning the Shareholder Election Rights Resolutions.
