As a result of the rescheduling of the special meeting, the time for the deposit of proxies will be extended. Proxies must now be received no later than 48 hours (excluding Saturdays, Sundays and holidays) prior to the commencement of the rescheduled meeting. No further action need be taken by shareholders that already have deposited proxies in respect of their shares for those shares to be voted at the special meeting.
