Below is an excerpt from the Info. Circular. I will leave it to each to decide for themselves if there is an appropriate relationship between executive pay and the creation of shareholder value.
"The objectives of the Corporation’s executive compensation program are to support an appropriate relationship between executive pay and the creation of shareholder value."
Below is another excerpt dealing with allowing electronic Meetings. 8.10 and 8.11 deal with allowing such meetings and providing shareholders with electronic access to the meeting. 8.12 however, seems to strip that right away from the shareholders and reserve the option for the company to not provide shareholders with access to meetings if they wish not. Maybe this deserves some discussion.
"8.10 Participation in Meetings by Electronic Means
With the consent of the chairman of the meeting or the consent (as evidenced by a resolution) of the persons present and entitled to vote at the meeting, a shareholder or any other person entitled to attend a meeting of shareholders may participate in the meeting by electronic means, telephone or other communication facilities that permit all persons participating in the meeting to hear or otherwise communicate with each other, and a person participating in such a meeting by those means shall be considered present at the meeting.
8.11 Electronic Meetings
Notwithstanding any provisions in this by-law to the contrary, and subject to the Act and the consent of the board, if the board or the shareholders of the Corporation call a meeting of shareholders, the board or the shareholders, as the case may be, may determine that the meeting will be held entirely by electronic means, telephone or other communication facility that permits all participants to communicate adequately with each other during the meeting.
8.12 Electronic Means Optional
The Corporation is under no obligation to provide telephonic, electronic or other communication facility for any shareholder to participate in a meeting and the board may provide such telephonic, electronic or other communication facility in its sole and absolute discretion."
