WITHDRAWAL OF RESOLUTION AT ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING
Evolution Mining Limited (ASX: EVN) (" Evolution ") advises that it has withdrawn Resolution 4 (“ Resolution ”) from the agenda of the General Meeting of Shareholders scheduled for 11.00am (Sydney time) today, Thursday 24 November 2016:
The Resolution related to the proposed Retention Rights (“ Rights ”) for Executive Chairman Jake Klein that formed part of a Retention Agreement reached between Mr Klein and the Evolution Board in December 2015 (refer to ASX Announcement dated 16 December 2015). The Retention Agreement was designed to secure Mr Klein’s services for at least the following three years.
The decision to withdraw the Resolution was made by Evolution’s Board of Directors following feedback in recent weeks from a number of shareholders and proxy advisors who expressed an in-principle concern regarding the absence of performance conditions attaching to the Rights.
The Board acknowledges these concerns and will continue to engage with Evolution shareholders and Mr Klein to agree amendments to Mr Klein’s Services Agreement that achieve broader shareholder support.
The withdrawal of this resolution will not affect the validity of the proxy form attached to the Notice of Annual General Meeting or any proxy votes already submitted.
