Mint to seek shareholder OK for advance notice bylaw

Mr. Pierre Gagnon reports

MINT ANNOUNCES DATE OF ANNUAL AND SPECIAL SHAREHOLDERS MEETING AND INTENT TO SEEK SHAREHOLDER APPROVAL FOR ADVANCE NOTICE BY-LAW

The Mint Corp. intends to hold an annual and special shareholders meeting on Sept. 4, 2014. At the shareholder meeting, shareholders will be asked to confirm bylaw No. 3 (the advance notice bylaw), which requires advance notice to Mint in circumstances where nominations of persons for election to the board of directors are made by shareholders of Mint other than pursuant to: (i) a requisition to call a shareholders meeting, or (ii) a shareholder proposal made under the corporate legislation.

Among other things, the advance notice bylaw fixes a deadline by which holders of record of common shares of Mint must submit director nominations to Mint prior to any annual or special meeting of shareholders and sets forth the information that a shareholder must include in the notice to Mint for the notice to be in proper written form.

In the case of an annual meeting of shareholders, notice to Mint must be made not less than 30 or more than 65 days prior to the date of the annual meeting; provided, however, that in the event that the annual meeting is to be held on a date that is less than 50 days after the date on which the first public announcement of the date of the annual meeting was made, notice may be made not later than the close of business on the 10th day following such public announcement.

In the case of a special meeting of shareholders (which is not also an annual meeting), notice to Mint must be made not later than the close of business on the 15th day following the day on which the first public announcement of the date of the special meeting was made.

The advance notice bylaw provides a clear process for shareholders to follow to nominate directors and sets out a reasonable time frame for nominee submissions, along with a requirement for accompanying information. The purpose of the advance notice bylaw is to treat all shareholders fairly 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. In addition, the advance notice bylaw should assist in facilitating an orderly and efficient meeting process.
