WINNIPEG, MB, June 1, 2021 /CNW/ - Winpak Ltd.
("Winpak" or the "Corporation") (TSX: WPK) announces
that the annual general meeting of Winpak shareholders (the
"Meeting") originally scheduled for Wednesday, June
23, 2021, at 4:30 p.m. (CDT) at The Fort Garry
Hotel, has been changed from an in-person meeting to a virtual-only
meeting to be held electronically on the same date at 11:00 a.m. (CDT).
Winpak continues to actively monitor developments relating to
the novel coronavirus, COVID-19, and the directives of public
health and government authorities for group gatherings and social
distancing. To support efforts to combat the spread of COVID-19 and
to mitigate risks to the health and safety of Winpak's
shareholders, team members, communities, and other stakeholders,
Winpak will convene the meeting in virtual-only format by way of a
live audio webcast. Shareholders of record as of May 19, 2021, will be able to attend the Meeting
electronically using a smartphone, tablet, or computer but will not
be able to attend the Meeting in person.
Shareholders
A Shareholder who wishes to appoint a person other than the
management nominees identified on the form of proxy or voting
instruction form (including a non-registered Shareholder who wishes
to appoint themselves to attend) must carefully follow the
instructions in the Circular and on their form of proxy or voting
instruction form. This will include the additional step of
registering such proxyholder with our transfer agent, Computershare
Trust Company of Canada
("Computershare") at
http://www.computershare.com/Winpak after submitting their
form of proxy or voting instruction form so that Computershare can
provide login credentials to the proxyholder. Computershare will
only email the login credentials to your proxyholder provided the
appointment has been registered. Failure to register the
proxyholder with our transfer agent will result in the proxyholder
not receiving a user name to participate in the Meeting and only
being able to attend as a guest.
The time for deposit of proxies remains the same; that is
4:30 p.m. (CDT) on June 21, 2021 (the "Proxy Deposit Deadline").
Note that the form of proxy previously distributed to you will not
be updated to reflect the change from an in-person meeting to a
virtual-only format and should continue to be used to vote your
shares.
Your Vote is Important
Winpak strongly encourages all shareholders, whether or not they plan on participating
in the Meeting, to vote by submitting
their proxy.
If you are a Winpak shareholder who holds their shares through a
broker or other intermediary ("Beneficial Shareholders") and
have yet to receive your proxy materials, you should contact your
broker or other intermediary immediately for a copy of your form of
proxy or other assistance.
As well, Beneficial
Shareholders must also complete the additional step
of registering their proxyholder online with Computershare at http://www.computershare.com/Winpak by no
later than the Proxy Deposit Deadline. A failure to register online
will result in a proxyholder not receiving the necessary login
credentials, which are required to vote at the Meeting.
