Prior to finalizing its management proxy materials for the AGM, ENTREC engaged in discussions with several of its largest shareholders with respect to the composition of the Board and believes that it has the support of those shareholders for the individuals ENTREC has suggested be elected to the Board at the AGM. However, the election of such individuals to the Board is subject to the actual voting results of the shareholders at the AGM as well as the Corporation's majority voting policy which requires, absent special circumstances, a director to immediately tender his or her resignation to the Board if he or she is not elected by at least a majority (50% +1 vote) of the votes cast with respect to his or her election. No guarantee can be made with respect to the election of directors at the AGM.
