Item 5.08 Shareholder Director Nominations

 

Zomedica Corp. (the “Company”) has scheduled its 2021 annual meeting of shareholders (the “Meeting”) to be held on July 30, 2021 at 8:30 a.m. (Toronto time) and established June 10, 2021 as the record date for determining shareholders entitled to notice of, and to vote at, the Meeting. Due to concerns regarding the coronavirus outbreak and to assist in protecting the health and well-being of its shareholders and employees, the Company is holding the Meeting as a virtual-only meeting, which will be conducted via live audio online webcast.

 

Because the date of the Meeting will be more than 30 days from the anniversary of the Company’s 2020 annual meeting of shareholders, the deadline for submission of proposals by shareholders for inclusion in the Company’s proxy materials in accordance with Rule 14a-8 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), will be the close of business on June 2, 2021, which the Company has determined to be a reasonable time before it expects to begin to print and distribute its proxy materials prior to the Meeting. Any such proposal must also meet the requirements set forth in the rules and regulations of the Exchange Act in order to be eligible for inclusion in the proxy materials for the Meeting.

 

The Business Corporations Act (Alberta) (the “Act”) also permits shareholders to submit proposals for consideration at an annual meeting. In order to be considered at the Meeting, a proposal under the Act must be received by the Company by not later than June 28, 2021. A shareholder submitting a proposal must satisfy the requirements of the Act (including share ownership requirements), and the Company may disregard a proposal in the circumstances described in the Act.

 

In accordance with the Company’s By-laws, any shareholder who intends to nominate a person for election as a director must provide notice (“Shareholder Notice”) to the Secretary of the Company on or before 5 p.m. (Calgary time) on June 30, 2021. Any Shareholder Notice must comply with the specific requirements set forth in the Company’s By-laws in order to be considered at the Meeting. The Shareholder Notice must be provided to the Secretary by personal delivery, by email or by facsimile transmission so that it is received in accordance with the By-laws by the deadline stipulated above.
