Thread: Other News -- Anti-takeover measures... OTTAWA, June 25 /PRNewswire/ - JetForm Corporation (NASDAQ:FORMF; TSE:JFM), the global leader in enterprise workflow and electronic forms solutions, today announced that its Board of Directors has implemented a shareholder rights plan (the ''Plan''). The Plan is effective immediately but is subject to regulatory approval. The Plan has been adopted in order to provide JetForm's Board of Directors and shareholders with sufficient time to assess and evaluate any take-over-bid and, in the event a bid is made, to provide the Board of Directors with an appropriate period of time to explore and develop alternatives which maximize shareholder value. The Plan is also intended to ensure that all of JetForm's shareholders are treated equally if a take-over bid is made. The Plan is not intended to deter take-over bids. JetForm's Board is not currently aware of any pending or threatened take-over bid. The Plan is operative until the date of JetForm's next Annual and Special Shareholders' Meeting at which JetForm shareholders will consider the Plan. It is anticipated that the meeting will occur on September 9, 1998. To remain effective, the Plan must be approved by more than 50 percent of the votes cast at that meeting.
