NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- The ACE Group announced today that it has received provisional approval from Myanmar’s Directorate of Investment and Company Administration to establish a representative office in Myanmar. The company is now completing the registration process with the relevant Myanmar authorities with the intention of opening the office in the city of Yangon later this year.
As well as acting as a liaison office for ACE’s multinational clients that may have risks in Myanmar that require insurance, the representative office will enable ACE to build relationships with the Myanmar regulatory authorities, the country’s business sector and other insurance market participants including insurance agents, brokers and other insurance and reinsurance companies. The office will also lead ACE’s efforts to participate in and help build Myanmar’s insurance sector.
According to Evan Greenberg, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, ACE Limited, “With ACE’s experience in many emerging markets around the globe, we hope to contribute to the development of the insurance market and economy of Myanmar. The ongoing political reform process, encouraging demographics of a relatively young and growing population as well as the increased per-capita income make Myanmar an attractive market for the future. We look forward to the prospect of lending our expertise in helping to build a strong and efficient insurance market, and we are committed to growing our presence over time to serve the protection needs of the nation’s citizens and businesses.”

TORONTO, ONTARIO--(Marketwired - May 23, 2013) - Nuinsco Resources Limited (TSX: NWI) (the "Company") today announced that its board of directors approved the adoption of an advance notice by-law (the "By-law") on May 22, 2013, which requires advance notice to the Company in circumstances where nominations of persons for election as a director of the Company are made by shareholders other than pursuant to: (i) a requisition of a meeting made pursuant to the provisions of the Business Corporations Act (Ontario) (the "Act"); or (ii) a shareholder proposal made pursuant to the provisions of the Act.
Among other things, the By-law fixes a deadline by which shareholders must submit a notice of director nominations to the Company prior to any annual or special meeting of shareholders where directors are to be elected and sets forth the information that a shareholder must include in the notice for it to be valid.
In the case of an annual meeting of shareholders, notice to the Company must be made not less than 30 nor more than 65 days prior to the date of the annual meeting; provided, however, that in the event that the annual meeting is to be held on a date that is less than 50 days after the date on which the first public announcement of the date of the annual meeting was made, notice may be made not later than the close of business on the 10th day following such public announcement.
In the case of a special meeting of shareholders (which is not also an annual meeting), notice to the Company must be made not later than the close of business on the 15th day following the day on which the first public announcement of the date of the special meeting was made.
The By-law is effective immediately. At the next meeting of shareholders, shareholders will be asked to confirm and ratify the By-law. A copy of the By-law has been filed and is available under the Company's profile at www.sedar.com.
The Company believes that adopting the By-law is considered to be good corporate governance. The By-law facilitates an orderly and efficient annual or special meeting process and it ensures that all shareholders receive adequate notice of director nominations with sufficient information with respect to all nominees. This allows the Company and its shareholders to evaluate the proposed nominees' qualifications and suitability as directors, which further allows shareholders to cast an informed vote for the election of directors.
