The Letter indicated that the Annual Meeting would be held in Calgary, Alberta.
As a company that emphasizes safety, the Company has elected to take proactive steps as a result of the impact of the recent global spread of COVID-19 (coronavirus) to protect the Company’s employees and other stakeholders, including shareholders of the Company. To reduce risks to public health and safety associated with COVID-19, the Company has determined that it will hold the Annual Meeting in a virtual only format which will be conducted via live webcast online. In connection with this determination, the Agent has issued an amended Letter (the “Amended Letter”), revised to indicate that the Annual Meeting will occur in virtual only format. This Current Report on Form 8-K/A is being filed solely to file the Amended Letter.
On March 19, 2020, the Agent issued on the Company's behalf the Amended Letter, advising of the Company's upcoming virtual only format Annual Meeting of Security Holders to be held on April 21, 2020.
A copy of this letter is attached as Exhibit 99.1.
