Great Cdn Gaming tweaks advance-notice proposal

GREAT CANADIAN GAMING TO MODIFY ADVANCE NOTICE PROPOSAL AT SHAREHOLDERS MEETING

Great Canadian Gaming Corp. will make minor modifications to its advance-notice provision proposal scheduled for a vote at the May 10, 2016, annual general and special meeting of shareholders.

The purpose of the advance-notice provision is to foster a variety of interests of the shareholders and the company by ensuring that all shareholders -- including those participating in a meeting by proxy rather than in person -- receive adequate notice of the nominations to be considered at a meeting and can thereby exercise their voting rights in an informed manner. The advance-notice provision is the framework by which the company seeks to fix a deadline by which holders of record of common shares of the company must submit director nominations to the company prior to any annual or special meeting of shareholders, and sets forth the information that a shareholder must include in the notice to the company for the notice to be in proper written form.

The advance-notice provision as currently proposed in the proxy materials requires that: (i) the notification time frame is subject to a maximum notice period of 65 days; (ii) a new time period for shareholder nominations in the event of an adjournment or postponement of the meeting is not permitted; (iii) the board of directors has the authority to request broad disclosure from director nominees; and (iv) each director nominee must first agree in writing to abide by the company's policies as a condition for a valid nomination.

The above requirements will be modified by motion from the chair of the meeting so that: (i) the maximum notice period of 65 days will be removed; (ii) a new time period will be permitted in the event of an adjournment or postponement of the meeting; (iii) the board of directors will not have the authority to request broad disclosure from director nominees, but the board of directors reserves the right to request such disclosure as is reasonably required by the company to determine the eligibility of such proposed nominee pursuant to applicable gaming law; and (iv) director nominees must either agree to abide by the company's publicly disclosed policies or provide a written statement, which may be made public, as to which of such policies the candidate does not intend to follow and why.
