An ordinary resolution to ratify and confirm the Corporation's amended and restated bylaws, including advance notice provisions, was approved with an approximate 99.96 % of votes cast in favour.
4. Approval of Share Consolidation
A special resolution (the "Share Consolidation Resolution") authorizing the consolidation (the "Consolidation") of the Corporation's issued and outstanding common shares ("Common Shares") on the basis of one (1) new post-Consolidation Common Share for every five (5) pre-Consolidation Common Shares was approved with an approximate 99.91 % of votes cast in favour.
Following Shareholder approval, the Corporation filed articles of amendment implementing the Consolidation. The post-Consolidation Common Shares will continue to be listed on the Toronto Stock Exchange (TSX) under the trading symbol "HNL.TO" and are expected to commence trading on a post-Consolidation basis within two or four business days. Following the Consolidation, the Corporation expects to have approximately 64,869,374 Common Shares issued and outstanding. Since no fractional Common Shares will be issued in connection with the Consolidation, the exact number of outstanding Common Shares after the Consolidation will vary based on the elimination of fractional shares. In lieu of fractional Common Shares, each registered Shareholder of the Corporation otherwise entitled to a fractional Common Share following the implementation of the Consolidation will receive the nearest whole number of post-Consolidation Common Shares. In calculating such fractional interests, all pre-Consolidation Common Shares registered in the name of or beneficially held by such Shareholder or their nominee shall be aggregated.
