As the Company continues to focus on key franchises to drive the
greatest opportunity for growth and shareholder value, the Board of
Directors (the "Board") has determined to reduce the number
of directors from 10 to seven. As such, former directors
Geoffrey Machum, Deborah Drisdell and Karine Courtemanche did not stand for election
this year, as stated in the management information
circular.
Donald Wright, Chair of the
WildBrain Board, said: "On behalf of the Board and the WildBrain
management team, I would like to extend our sincere gratitude to
Geoff, Deborah and Karine for their years of dedication and support
of the business. Their contributions have been highly valuable, and
we wish them all the best for the future. Going forward, we retain
a strong, diverse board committed to the best practices of
corporate governance, with solid Canadian representation."
