(1)

the Shareholder acknowledges and confirms the previous receipt of financial statements of the Company for the period from January 1, 2015 to December 31, 2015, together with the auditor’s report on such financial statements, which financial statements were approved by the Company’s board of directors on April 28, 2016 and presented to the Shareholder at the Finance Committee meeting of Richmond City Council on May 9, 2016;

 

 

(2)

Subject to paragraph 3. below, the Articles of the Company be amended by:

 

 

 

(a)

deleting Article 13.2 and substituting therefore the following as a new Article 13.2:

 

 

 

 

“13.2 Composition of the Board

 

 

 

 

As soon as is reasonably practicable after these Articles come into effect and thereafter, the Company’s board of directors will have a number of directors determined, from time to time, by an ordinary resolution of the shareholders, except that the number so determined must be not less than three and not more than 13 directors, and the directors will be persons determined by the shareholders to have the skills, competencies and experience necessary to fulfill their obligations to the Company.”

 

 

 

(b)

deleting Article 13.3 and substituting therefore the following as a new Article 13.3:

 

 

 

 

“13.3 Director Position Vacancies

 

 

 

 

The number of Directors and composition of the board is determined by Article 13.2.  Subject to Articles 13.2, 14.4.1 and 14.6.1, the shareholders will, subject to the Business Corporations Act, remove, elect or appoint the directors as necessary to maintain in place a board that meets the size and composition requirements of Article 13.2.”

 

 

 

(c)

“14.4.1 Additional Directors

 

 

 

 

Notwithstanding Articles 13.2 and 13.3, between annual general meetings, or unanimous resolutions contemplated by Article 10.2, the directors may appoint one or more additional directors, but the number of additional directors appointed under this Article 14.4.1 must not at any time exceed one-third of the number of the current directors who were elected or appointed as directors other than under this Article 14.4.1.  Any director so appointed ceases to hold office immediately before the next election or appointment of directors under Article 14.1, but is eligible for re-election or re-appointment.”

 

 

 

(d)

adding immediately after Article 14.6 the following as a new Article 14.6.1:
