![Xemplar Calls Requisitioned Special Meeting for February 4, 2013 After Appointing Special Committee](https://www.goldseiten.de/media/goldseiten-news.jpg)
The Requisition was received by the Company on October 4, 2012, and in response thereto the Board of Directors of the Company (the "Board") established a special and independent committee (the "Special Committee") to oversee all matters relating to the Requisition. The Special Committee consists of all directors of the Company except Mr. Harley. On the advice of counsel, the Special Committee determined that although the Requisition may not have technically been in compliance with the requirements of the Business Corporations Act (British Columbia) it was nevertheless prudent to recommend that the Board call the Meeting.
The Meeting is scheduled to take place on February 4, 2013. The record date for determining shareholders entitled to notice of the Meeting and to vote at the Meeting will be December 6, 2012.
The Company considers it unfortunate that it will be required to sustain the expense and disruption involved in holding a special meeting just a few months before its regularly scheduled annual general meeting ("AGM"), which is due to occur before the end of June 2013. This is especially true because the Board took steps to address the situation by proposing to move up its AGM in order to accommodate Fursa, which would have avoided the need to hold an extra meeting. As always, the Board is committed to acting honestly and in good faith with a view to the best interests of the Company and all of its stakeholders, which means ensuring management remains focused on enhancing shareholder value through the successful completion of the acquisition and further development of the Lobo farm as well as the preservation and enhancements of the Company's other assets.
The Special Committee will retain a proxy solicitation firm to assist with solicitation matters for the Meeting. Further information, as well as the text of the Requisition, will be set out in a management information circular that will be mailed to shareholders and posted to SEDAR and the Company's website in due course.
On behalf of the Board of Directors of XEMPLAR ENERGY CORP.
