Certive Solutions Inc. (OTCQB:CTVEF, CSE:CBP) (“Certive” or the “Company”), announces that the preferred shares that were approved by the shareholders in 2016 have been recalled and cancelled by action of the Board of Directors on August 7, 2018. These shares were subject to the terms of amendment to its articles of incorporation approved at an Annual and Special Meeting of Shareholders held on September 19, 2016. This action eliminates a provision that allowed management 51 percent control of the Company and various other benefits upon the occurrence of certain events.
“The need for such majority management control was viewed as unnecessary and detrimental to the interests of the shareholders” stated Chairman Tom Marreel. “With the appointment of a strong, independent Board of Directors, we can provide guidance to management to focus on growth and profitability” he added.
The Board of Directors also appointed the five independent members to a Corporate Governance and Compensation Committee. Jack Saltich will Chair the Committee and be joined by Directors Hyland, Marreel, Thomas and Wareham. This Committee is also tasked with the nominating role for an upcoming Annual General Meeting that is being planned for October 2018.
“This is one more step in process of assuring our shareholders and the marketplace that governance and management controls are being implemented to build on the improving operational results that we will be announcing soon” stated Marreel.
