McVicar Industries Inc. special meeting date rescheduled

TORONTO, Feb. 28, 2014 /CNW/ - McVicar Industries Inc. ("McVicar") (TSXV symbol MCV) announces today that the date for its previously announced special meeting of shareholders has been rescheduled from March 31^st, to April 29^th, 2014.

The rescheduling of the meeting is to allow sufficient time for Evans & Evans, Inc. to complete the formal valuation of McVicar and their opinion as to the fairness, from the financial point of view, (collectively the "Valuation") of the previously announced, proposed amalgamation (the "Amalgamation") of McVicar with 1909734 Ontario Limited, a wholly owned subsidiary of GC Consulting & Investment Corp. ("GCCI"), a corporation controlled by Dr. Gang Chai, McVicar's chief executive officer.

The Valuation is being prepared in accordance with Multilateral Instrument 61-101 - Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions of the Canadian Securities Administrators and under the supervision of the Special Committee of the McVicar Board. The Valuation will form the basis of the Special Committee's recommendation as to whether shareholders of McVicar should approve the Amalgamation.

As previously disclosed, upon completion of the Amalgamation, if approved, shareholders of McVicar (other than shareholders who exercise their dissent and appraisal rights under s. 185 of the Business Corporations Act (Ontario) and GCCI and related parties of GCCI) will effectively receive a cash consideration of $0.50 per McVicar share and GCCI will have effectively acquired 100% of the issued shares of McVicar.
