BELGRAVIA provides update on Tartisan AGM


TORONTO, Sept. 17, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- BELGRAVIA CAPITAL INTERNATIONAL INC. (CSE: BLGV) (OTCQB: BLGVF) ("Belgravia") today announced Belgravia fell short in obtaining the necessary votes to replace the current board of Tartisan Nickel Corp. (CSE:TN) ("Tartisan").

Mehdi Azodi stated, "Astoundingly, over 83% of the issued shares of Tartisan voted in today's meeting, which Belgravia believes is an unprecedented turnout not only for Tartisan, but for any publicly traded junior mining company. Belgravia remains one of the largest shareholders of Tartisan and intends to use that position to hold management and the board accountable for their actions and will take such further measures as it may deem necessary to require changes that will increase shareholder value. We believe that our position as a major shareholder in Tartisan together with the regulatory oversight that was initiated by our complaints to the Ontario Securities Commission and Canadian Securities Exchange will constitute the catalyst for change."

In addition, Azodi said, "According to the Management Services Agreement that Belgravia entered into with Tartisan earlier this year, Tartisan agreed to place one Belgravia nominee on the Tartisan board which was never honored. Now that the board of directors at Tartisan has decreased from 4 to 3; Mr. Appleby refused to answer any shareholders questions at the Annual General Meeting; and did not require a representative from the Auditor to attend the meeting to answer questions regarding the financial statements. It appears that the board and management of Tartisan do not want their actions open to shareholder scrutiny."

In conclusion, Azodi said, "As activist shareholders we strive to seek accountability from the companies we invest in. The lack of communication, poor corporate governance practices and select disclosure by Mr. Appleby are reasons we will continue to seek changes at Tartisan."
