Marketwired
MONTREAL, QUEBEC (TSX: QBR.B), announces that the annual general
meeting of its shareholders will be held on Thursday, June 26, 2008
at 11:00 a.m.
The Board of Directors of the Company determined that it would
not propose that KPMG LLP stand for reappointment as auditors of
the Company, subject to regulatory requirements and shareholders'
approval. Consequently, at the annual general meeting, shareholders
will be invited to approve the appointment of Ernst & Young LLP
as auditors of the Company.
The Audit Committee is of the opinion that there is no
"reportable event" as defined in section 4.11(1) of National
Instrument 51-102 - Continuous Disclosure Obligations, except with
respect to an unresolved issue, within the meaning of said section,
as of May 6, 2008. At that time, discussions with the auditors
regarding management's views on the presentation of the operations
of Quebecor World Inc. as discontinuing operations during the first
quarter of 2008 were not finalized; consequently, management's
views on this question had not yet been communicated to the Audit
Committee for approval.
This unresolved issue had no impact on the decision by the Board
of Directors to propose a new auditor.
