11.04.2012  |  CNW

TORONTO, April 11, 2012 /CNW/ - Guyana Goldfields Inc.

('GGI' or 'the Company') announces today proposed amendments to certain matters which are to be considered and voted upon at its annual and special shareholder meeting scheduled to be held on Wednesday, April 25, 2012 (the 'Meeting').

The management information circular of GGI dated March 26, 2012 (the 'Circular') indicated that at the Meeting, shareholders would be invited to consider, and if deemed fit: (i) authorize the termination of the existing stock option plan and adoption of a new stock option plan for GGI (the '2012 Plan'); and (ii) approve and confirm the shareholder rights plan GGI (the 'Rights Plan'). GGI is proposing to amend the 2012 Plan and the Rights Plan in the following manner from the descriptions thereof contained in the Circular:

(i) GGI proposes to amend the form of the proposed 2012 Plan attached Appendix 'I' to Schedule 'B' to the Circular in order to incorporate a limitation which would restrict the number of stock options which may be granted under the 2012 Plan to each non-executive director within any one year period to such number of options as entails a maximum aggregate grant date value of Cdn$100,000, calculated based upon the Black-Scholes Option pricing model; and

(iii) GGI proposes to amend and restate the Rights Plan to make minor amendments to certain definitions contained in the Rights Plan in order to correct a reference and clarify such definitions.

GGI is committed to best corporate governance practices and has proposed the above amendments in accordance with such mandate.  Accordingly, management and the board of directors of GGI are of the opinion that the 2012 Plan and Rights Plan, as amended as described above, are each in the best interests of GGI and its shareholders and accordingly, unanimously recommend that the shareholders vote for the approval and confirmation of such matters at the Meeting.  Copies of the amended 2012 Plan and Rights Plan have been filed on SEDAR at www.sedar.com.
