TORONTO, Jan. 23, 2023 /CNW/ - Prodigy Ventures Inc. (TSXV: PGV) ("Prodigy" or the "Company") today announced that it has called a special meeting of shareholders to be held at 1:00 p.m. (Toronto time) on March 8, 2023 (the "Meeting"). At the Meeting, Shareholders will be asked to consider and, if thought advisable, pass a special resolution authorizing and approving a reduction of the stated capital account of the Company's common shares (the "Stated Capital Reduction Resolution") for the purposes of effecting a return of capital to shareholders.

The Stated Capital Reduction is being proposed in connection with a potential distribution to be made by the Company in the amount of $0.041 per share to be paid from the net proceeds of the consideration received from the sale of TCB Corporation (see press release dated January 18, 2023).  Further details regarding the potential distribution and the approval being sought will be set forth in the meeting materials to be provided to shareholders in early February and filed on www.sedar.com at the same time.

If the Stated Capital Reduction Resolution is approved the board of directors will then make a determination with respect to proceeding with the proposed distribution and the amount thereof.  No determination has yet been made as to whether to pay this distribution, the amount of the distribution or the record date for the distribution and as such there is no assurance that such distribution will be declared in the amount currently proposed or at all or the timing thereof.

Assuming that the Stated Capital Reduction Resolution is approved the Company will then issue a further press release with details of any distribution if, as and when approved by the board of directors.
