FM Resources Corp - Concerns of dissident shareholders
Tuesday May 19 1998
Mr. Roger Baird reports.
This news release will serve to introduce the petitioners who are dissident
shareholders and investors of the company representing 50 per cent of the
outstanding shares in the company. In particular some of the petitioners
participated in private placements undertaken by the company of
$4.8-million in 1996 and $162,500 in May of 1997. The initial concerns of
the petitioners began with the notice to consolidate the shares of the
company on a 20-1 basis at a meeting on March 25, 1998. The initial concern
of the petitioners went critical when on March 20, 1998, Lu Manning, a
director of the company disclosed the history of an $825,000.00 transaction
described as a loan payable. During the March 25, 1998 meeting it was
confirmed that the $825,000.00 was a supposed debt due Glen White, the
former president of the company, and that it was part of the $4.8-million
in private placements undertaken by the company in 1996. It was confirmed
that the $825,000.00 had been acquired by John Hislop for the sum of $10.00.
At the meeting of March 25, 1998 there were a significant number of proxies
in dispute. Mike Bourdeau, the chairman, made an arbitrary ruling that no
proxies could be voted by people in attendance at the meeting. This
resulted in the disqualification of at least 1.5 million shares. Even so,
the resolution to consolidate only passed by 0.7 per cent. The petitioners
commenced an action on April 15, 1998 in the Supreme Court of British
Columbia No. 980972.
On May 8, 1998, the petitioners were successful in obtaining an injunction
ordered by the Honorable Judge Pitfield in restricting the company from
dealing with the transaction of $825,000. A hearing for the petition has
been set for August 24 - 28, 1998.
The petitioners are seeking the following relief:
1. The resolution approving a consolidation of the company share capital on
a 20 old common shares to one new common share approved at the March 25,
1998 extraordinary general meeting be declared null and void;
2. An order for the production of documents in the possession and control
of the company relating to the issues before the court;
3. An order that the petitioners be granted leave to commence an action in
the name of, and on behalf of, the company by issuing a writ of summons
claiming against the following former and current officers and directors:
Glen White, David Thomas, William Horie, Clive Forth, Lu Manning, Mike
Bourdeau, Allan Hubick and Peter Bryant; and
4. An investigative auditor be appointed.
The petitioners intend to elect a new board of directors at the next annual
general meeting of the company on July 30, 1998. The petitioners will be
soliciting the proxies of all shareholders and urges them to register their
shares in their own name. The petitioners have retained Ganymede Capital to
review the current properties of the company and make recommendations
regarding land acquisition and financing. Expect further news in due course.
