CALGARY, Alberta, Nov. 08, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- High Arctic Energy Services Inc. (TSX: HWO) (the "Corporation" or "High Arctic") announces that it has set a date of January 10, 2024 for a special meeting of shareholders. It also advises that it will be releasing its third quarter results on Tuesday, November 14, 2023.
On October 20, 2023, the Corporation received a shareholder meeting requisition notice (the "VN Requisition") from VN Capital Management, LLC, as beneficial owner of not less than 5% of the issued and outstanding shares of the Corporation, requesting that the directors of the Corporation call a meeting of the shareholders for the purpose of (a) removing the Chairman of the Board of Directors of the Corporation and; (b) if the removal resolution is approved, to elect a replacement director.
The Board intends to address the VN Requisition at a special meeting of shareholders that will be held on January 10, 2024, along with any other business that may be properly brought before the meeting.
Timing of Third Quarter Results
Given timing considerations associated with the restatement of past interim and annual filings as announced on November 7, 2023, the Corporation has revised the planned release of third quarter results.
