TORONTO, April 6, 2017 /CNW/ - Gibraltar Growth
Corporation (TSX: GBG.A, GBG.WT) (the "Corporation") is pleased to announce that it has set April 13, 2017 as the record date for determining shareholders of the Corporation that are entitled to receive
notice of a special meeting of shareholders of the Corporation, expected to be held on May 31, 2017
(the "Meeting").
The Corporation continues to actively pursue opportunities that would constitute its qualifying acquisition (a "Qualifying
Acquisition") and is currently in advanced negotiations with one business. If the Corporation is successful in entering into
a definitive agreement with respect to a Qualifying Acquisition, it intends to present such Qualifying Acquisition to
shareholders for approval at the Meeting. However, no definitive agreement has been entered into at this time with respect to a
Qualifying Acquisition, and no assurance can be given that discussions, including those that may be on-going, will result in an
agreement or that the Company will be able to complete a Qualifying Acquisition.
If the Corporation is unable to enter into a definitive agreement with respect to a Qualifying Acquisition, it intends to seek
shareholder approval at the Meeting to extend the permitted timeline within which it may effect a Qualifying Acquisition.
As an alternative to holding the Meeting to approve a Qualifying Acquisition, the Corporation may choose to seek approval of
its Qualifying Acquisition from shareholders of the Corporation by way of written consent pursuant to section 604(d) of the TSX
Company Manual. In accordance with the rules of the TSX, in order to forego the Meeting, written consent must be obtained from
holders of more than 50% of the voting securities of the Corporation (being both the holders of Class A Restricted Voting Shares
and Class B Shares), other than certain securities which may be excluded as required by the TSX. In the event that written
consent is secured, the Corporation will issue a press release at least five business days in advance of closing of its
Qualifying Acquisition disclosing the material terms of the transaction and that it will not hold the Meeting. In such
circumstances, holders of Class A Restricted Voting Shares would continue to have redemption rights as described in the final
prospectus of the Corporation dated September 25, 2015.
The Corporation will host a conference call on Tuesday, April 18, 2017 at 10:00 a.m. EST to
discuss its fourth quarter and 2016 financial results, and to provide an update on the status of its Qualifying Acquisition. The
conference call will be chaired by Joseph Mimran, the Corporation's Chairman and Co-Chief
Executive Officer and Cam di Prata, the Corporation's Co-Chief Executive Officer. The number to
use for this call is toll free 1-(888)-231-8191. The number for overseas callers is +1-(647)-427-7450.
