Toronto, Ontario--(Newsfile Corp. - October 29, 2020) - Media Central Corporation Inc. (CSE: FLYY) (FSE: 3AT) ("Media Central" or the "Company") announces the date for a Special Meeting of Shareholders (the "Meeting") as December 30, 2020.
Following receipt of a shareholder requisition for a special meeting (See press release dated October 15, 2020), the Company has directed its transfer agent to file a Notice of Record and Meeting Dates with the relevant regulators and the Canadian Securities Exchange.
Record Date: November 25, 2020
Meeting Date: December 30, 2020
The Company worked in the most expeditious manner possible to schedule this Meeting, after the Board of Directors took the necessary time to review the requisition materials and to consult with a variety of stakeholders including shareholders who reached out to the Company to express their concerns with the actions of the dissident shareholders. The Company is grateful for the support expressed for the current leadership.
The actions taken by a small group of dissident shareholders have created, and continue to create, an unnecessary distraction from managing the day-to-day business of Media Central, especially during a pandemic, which began affecting Media Central within mere months of its launch. These same actions further needlessly serve to undermine the Company's underlying business and the tremendous potential upon which Management has been striving to capitalize - to the benefit of ALL shareholders.
"During our 2020 AGM, we saw over 57% of the issued and outstanding shares of Media Central vote their shares and the majority expressed their confidence in the Company by duly re-electing the Board of Directors," stated Brian Kalish, President and CEO. "While this is an unfortunate disruption especially in these times, we remain committed to ensuring that every shareholder of Media Central has the ability to have their voice heard."
In the interim, management will continue its work to build upon the developmental success that was detailed in the Company's open letter to shareholders (See press release dated June 9, 2020).
