Marketwired Canada
PNI Digital Media Inc. ("PNI") (TSX:PN)(OTCQX:PNDMF) the leading innovator in
digital media solutions for retailers, is pleased to announce that the Supreme
Court of British Columbia has granted an interim order (the "Interim Order") in
respect of PNI's previously announced arrangement (the "Arrangement") with
Staples, Inc. ("Staples") pursuant to which Staples will acquire, through its
wholly-owned subsidiary Staples Canada Acquisition ULC, all of the issued and
outstanding common shares of PNI for $1.70 in cash per common share. The Interim
Order provides for, among other things, the calling and holding of a special
meeting (the "Special Meeting") of shareholders of PNI to consider and approve
the Arrangement. The granting of the Interim Order was a condition to the
completion of the Arrangement.
PNI Shareholders' Meeting
The Special Meeting is scheduled to be held at Suite 1500 - 1055 West Georgia
Street, Vancouver, British Columbia on July 8, 2014 at 9:00 a.m. (Vancouver
time) to consider the Arrangement. The record date for the Special Meeting is
June 4, 2014.
The Arrangement will be subject to approval by 66 2/3% of the votes cast by PNI
shareholders present in person or represented by proxy at the Special Meeting.
In addition, as the Arrangement constitutes a "business combination" pursuant to
Multilateral Instrument 61-101 - Protection of Minority Security Holders in
Special Transactions ("MI 61-101"), the Arrangement must also be approved by a
simple majority of the votes cast at the Special Meeting, excluding the votes
cast by any PNI shareholders that are required to be excluded in order to obtain
"minority approval" pursuant to MI 61-101.
A Notice of Special Meeting and a Management Information Circular (the
"Circular") for PNI will be provided to securityholders shortly. A copy of the
Circular will also be available under PNI's profile on SEDAR at www.sedar.com.
