On January 30, 2009, Harte Gold Corp. held a special meeting of shareholders (the Meeting) that had been requisitioned by the Shareholder Protection Committee (the Committee) of Harte Gold Corp. (the Corporation). The Committee sought to oppose the election of the directors nominated by management of the Corporation and propose its own nominees for election as directors of the Corporation.
The Committee retained Ogilvy Renault LLP to ensure that their rights would be protected at the Meeting. After filing an application with the Commercial List of the Ontario Superior Court of Justice, the Committee reached an interim settlement with the Corporation and one of its directors to: (i) not allow certain improperly issued shares to be voted at the meeting; and (ii) grant the Court full and unfettered review of any disputes that may arise out of the Meeting. The Committee was successful in having its nominees to the board of the Corporation elected at the Meeting.
