At the Meeting, shareholders of the Company also approved:
- The appointment of auditors;
- The advisory resolution on executive compensation;
- An amendment to Eldorado's restated articles of incorporation to implement the proposed share consolidation; and
- Eldorado's amended and restated Stock Option Plan.
Voting results on each resolution are detailed below and can also be found in the Company's final Report on Voting Results as filed on SEDAR (www.sedar.com). All resolutions were conducted by ballot.
As shareholders have approved the amendments to the Company's articles, the Board will review the merits of a share consolidation during the course of the next six months taking into consideration the best interests of the Company, its trading price and the requirements of the New York Stock Exchange.
As previously announced by the Company, Robert Gilmore did not stand for re-election to the Company's Board. The Company thanks Robert for his years of service.
"We would like to thank our shareholders for their ongoing feedback and support," said George Albino, Chair of Eldorado Gold's Board of Directors. "As Chair, I look forward to continuing to improve our approach on executive compensation and other governance matters. Further, I would like to thank Robby for his dedicated years of service to the Company, and extend a warm welcome to Teresa Conway."
