Canada Southern Petroleum Ltd. Files and Commences Mailing of
Definitive Proxy Materials Related to Corporate Governance Initiatives
CALGARY, Alberta, Oct. 21 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Canada Southern Petroleum
Ltd. (the "Company") (Nasdaq/Pacific: CSPLF; Toronto: CSW.LV; Boston: CSW)
today reported that the Company has today filed with U.S. and Canadian
securities regulators the Company's definitive proxy materials relating to a
special meeting of the Company's shareholders that will be held on November 30,
2004 in Calgary, Alberta. If needed, a special confirmatory meeting of
shareholders will also be held on December 15, 2004 in Calgary, Alberta. The
two meetings will be held at the Plaza Room at The Metropolitan Centre, 333 --
4th Avenue S.W., Calgary, Alberta at 11:00 A.M. on these dates. As previously
announced, the record date for both of the Meetings is Monday, October 18,
2004.
The purpose of the Meetings is to allow shareholders to consider and, if
thought appropriate, enact changes to the corporate governance structure for
the Company. The governance changes will be implemented by the continuance of
the Company from being a corporation governed by the corporate legislation of
Nova Scotia to be a corporation governed by the corporate legislation of
Alberta. At the special meeting, shareholders will be asked to vote on special
and ordinary resolutions with respect to the following four items: (1) the
continuance of the Company from Nova Scotia to Alberta and the adoption of the
articles of continuance and new corporate bylaws under the Business
Corporations Act (Alberta); (2) the elimination of the five year term for
directors, so that commencing at the 2005 Annual General Meeting each director
will be elected annually for a one year term; (3) the elimination of the 1,000
share voting limitation, so that each shareholder will be entitled to vote all
shares held by him or her; and (4) the elimination of the requirement for
director approval of shareholder action.
The Company will commence mailing its definitive proxy materials to
shareholders on or about October 25, 2004.
This announcement is not a proxy statement, nor is it a solicitation of any
proxies from the Company's shareholders. The Company's definitive proxy
materials relating to the Meetings have been filed today with the SEC via its
Electronic Data Gathering, Analysis, and Retrieval System (EDGAR) system and
