Eco Oro Dissidents' Can't Do the Math!

12.04.2017  |  CNW

VANCOUVER, April 12, 2017 /CNW/ - Eco Oro Minerals Corp. ("Eco Oro" or the "Company") (TSX: EOM) responded to a press release issued today containing a message from Susan Milton in support of the dissident action led by Courtenay Wolfe and Harrington Global Opportunities Fund Ltd. (the "Dissidents") in connection with the annual general and special meeting of Eco Oro shareholders scheduled for April 25, 2017.  

In the release, Ms. Milton claims to be a "top shareholder" of the Company and appears to mirror the false and misleading talking points the Dissidents have been reciting. Ms. Milton also repeats the Dissidents' presumed and nonsensical support level for their board nominees. The records of the Company do not reflect the level of support the Dissidents are claiming to have.

  • Shareholders may wish to note that Ms. Milton has worked directly with certain nominees of the Dissidents' in a prior proxy contest. In late 2015, Ms. Milton attempted to reconstitute the board of New Millennium Iron Corp., nominating Peter C. McRae, Prashant Pathak; both of whom have also been nominated by the Dissidents for Eco Oro's board of directors (the "Board"). 2015 Press Release

  • Eco Oro's Board believes that Ms. Milton may be in communication with, or coordinating her actions with the Dissidents. The Board has added Ms. Milton to its investigation into individuals, including Rocco Meliambro, acting jointly or in concert in contravention of securities laws.

  • Ms. Milton, in her endorsement of the Dissidents conveniently overlooks the Dissidents established track record of value destruction and makes no mention of her own prior attempts to seize control of another company.

Eco Oro invites shareholders to review all the material related to the annual general and special meeting of shareholders available at www.eco-oro.com and under Eco Oro's profile on SEDAR.

The Board and management team continue to work tirelessly to protect, enhance and maximize value for all shareholders. Shareholders, protect your investment in Eco Oro and, as recommended by the leading proxy advisory firm Institutional Shareholder Services ("ISS"), vote the GREEN proxy or voting instruction form.
