cnw






THUNDER BAY, ON, May 22, 2013 /CNW/ - Wolfden Resources Corporation (the
"Corporation") (WLF:TSX-V) announces that its board of directors (the "Board") has amended the
Corporation's by-laws to include an advance notice requirement in
connection with shareholders intending to nominate directors in certain
circumstances (the "By-Law Amendment").


The advance notice requirement fixes a deadline by which holders of
record of common shares of the Corporation must submit director
nominations to the Secretary of the Corporation prior to any annual
meeting of shareholders (or any special meeting of shareholders if one
of the purposes for which the special meeting is called is the election
of one or more directors) and sets forth the specific information that
a nominating shareholder must include in the written notice to the
Secretary of the Corporation for a nomination to be valid.


The Board understands that amending the Corporation's by-laws to include
an advance notice requirement is consistent with an emerging corporate
governance trend among Canadian issuers. The Board and management
believe that the By-Law Amendment provides shareholders, directors and
management with a transparent, structured and fair framework for
nominating directors. In addition, the Board and management believe
that the advance notice requirement will facilitate an orderly and
efficient annual or special meeting process, ensure that all
shareholders receive adequate notice and information concerning
nominees and provide shareholders reasonable time for appropriate
deliberation in advance of the meeting.


In the case of an annual meeting of shareholders, notice to the
Corporation must be made not less than 30 and not more than 65 days
prior to the date of the annual meeting; provided, however, that in the
event that the annual meeting is to be held on a date that is less than
50 days after the date on which the first public announcement of the
date of the annual meeting was made, notice may be made not later than
the close of business on the 10th day following such public announcement.


In the case of a special meeting of shareholders (which is not also an
annual meeting) called for the purpose of electing directors (whether
or not called for other purposes), notice to the Corporation must be
made not later than the close of business on the 15th day following the day on which the first public announcement of the
date of the special meeting was made.


The By-Law Amendment is effective immediately and will be placed before
shareholders for ratification at the annual and special meeting of
shareholders of the Corporation on June 25, 2013 (the "Meeting"). A
copy of the By-Law Amendment will be filed under the Corporation's
profile at sedar


The By-Law Amendment is in effect until it is confirmed, confirmed as
amended or rejected by shareholders at the Meeting and, if the By-Law
Amendment is confirmed at the Meeting, it will continue in effect in
the form in which it was so confirmed.


Neither the TSX Venture Exchange nor its regulation services provides
(as that term is defined in the policies of the TSX Venture Exchange)
has reviewed or accepts responsibility for the accuracy or adequacy of
this release.
