TORONTO, Dec. 7, 2020 /CNW/ - Concerned shareholders (the "Concerned Shareholders") of PesoRama Inc. ("PesoRama"), led by The Ocean View Trust, a family trust of Rahim Bhaloo, the founder, a director and the former Chief Executive Officer of PesoRama, together with 2110958 Alberta Ltd., a company controlled by Mr. Bhaloo, announce that they have deposited proxies representing 23,627,405 class "A" common voting shares ("Common Shares") of PesoRama, representing 51.49% of the issued and outstanding PesoRama Common Shares, in support of the election of their proposed director nominees at the meeting of PesoRama shareholders scheduled for December 9, 2020 (the "Meeting").
As at today's 1:00 p.m. (MTN) deadline for the deposit of proxies, the Concerned Shareholders have sufficient votes to elect their proposed director nominees at the Meeting, and to defeat the nominees put forward by PesoRama's incumbent board of directors.
The Concerned Shareholders would like to thank PesoRama's shareholders, who have voiced their support for the Concerned Shareholders' recommended director nominees. The Concerned Shareholders and their nominees look forward to ensuring that real and positive change is implemented.
Concerned Shareholders Will Continue to Fight to Ensure A Fair and Timely Vote
The Concerned Shareholders expect PesoRama to hold the Meeting at the time set out in PesoRama's management information circular, and will not hesitate to apply to court if PesoRama seeks to avoid the judgment of its shareholders. PesoRama's shareholders have spoken with their proxies and now it is time for the Meeting to occur and for shareholders to elect the directors of their choosing.
PesoRama is at a Critical Juncture
The resoundingly strong indications of support we have received from fellow shareholders reinforces our conviction that change is necessary and underscores the crucial need for all shareholders to take a stand now and vote.
Regardless of how many shares you own, ALL PesoRama shareholders are urged to read the information circular prepared by the Concerned Shareholders and to seize this opportunity. Shareholders who have voted the management proxy and who wish to support the Concerned Shareholders have the right to change their vote by simply revoking the management proxy, which nullifies a previously recorded vote.
