Any thoughts?? CEAPRO INC. - CANAMINO INC. SHAREHOLDER MEETING CALLED Standard & Poors No.12G Reg.823486 EDMONTON, May 1 /CNW/ - Ceapro Inc. (''Ceapro'') (ASE: CZO) announced today that it has called a meeting of the shareholders of Canamino Inc. immediately so that Saskatchewan Government Growth Fund (SGGF) can assume control of the Board of Canamino Inc. This is a result of actions taken by SGGF, March 27, 1998. Ceapro took this important step in the interest of enhancing the future growth of Canamino, and in the interest of the shareholders, creditors, and employees of Canamino. During the period after March 27, 1998, Ceapro has continually attempted to resolve the issue with SGGF in the interest of completing a financing. SGGF has advised Ceapro that it also concluded a ''Memorandum of Understanding'' with Can-Oat Milling. The SGGF action has clearly left Ceapro with the only course of action, that of calling a shareholder's meeting of Canamino Inc. so as to protect the Canamino business. Ceapro has invested a total of $14.2 million in common shares of Canamino and as of March 31, 1998, had advanced a further $4.5 million in cash advances to Canamino Inc. The total of $18.7 million has been used for the construction of the plant, the commercialization of the technology, and the development of the business. Prior to the calling of the shareholders meeting of Canamino Inc. and as a result of the precipitous action by SGGF, the following Directors of Ceapro resigned: R. L. Phillips, Dr. Wayne Schnarr, Dr. D. L. Modry and Donald Gainor. An interim Board will be appointed until the shareholders meeting when a new slate of Directors will be presented to the shareholders for approval. - The ASE has neither approved nor disapproved of this release.
