CALGARY, Alberta, May 03, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Peyto Exploration & Development Corp. ("Peyto" or the "Company") (TSX:PEY) has scheduled its Annual General Meeting of Shareholders for 3:00 p.m. on Thursday, May 13, 2021. Peyto was hopeful that Alberta would be emerging from the COVID-19 pandemic which would allow for an in-person meeting of its shareholders. Currently, however, the Public Health Agency of Canada and Alberta Health Services is strongly advising against indoor gatherings of any kind. Therefore, considering this advice and in order to reduce potential risks to the health and safety of its shareholders, employees and other stakeholders, Peyto is strongly urging shareholders and others to remain at home and NOT attend the meeting in person. Attendance in person will be restricted to essential personnel and registered shareholders and duly appointed proxyholders and, moreover, may be further restricted to comply with applicable regulations and protocols regarding public gatherings. Guests will not be permitted and there will be no presentation or reception following the formal portion of the meeting. The Company reserves the right to refuse admission to any registered shareholders or duly appointed proxyholder seeking to attend the meeting in person, but whom the Company believes may pose a health risk or whose admission would violate applicable public health laws, policies or emergency orders in place at the time of the meeting. Any registered shareholders and duly appointed proxyholders who are admitted to the meeting will be asked to physically distance themselves from others.
Health and safety remain Peyto's highest priority. The Company will continue to monitor the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic and will be adhering to all federal and provincial restrictions and recommendations in place regarding public gatherings.
