Poll Results Of The Annual General And Special Meeting Held On 27 June 2024, Vancouver Time (Clarification Announcement)
Reference is made to the announcement published on 2 July 2024, Vancouver time (the “Announcement”) in relation to the poll results of the annual general and special meeting (the “Meeting”) of shareholders of China Gold International Resources Corp. Ltd. (the “Company”) held on 27 June 2024, Vancouver time. Unless the context requires otherwise, terms used in this announcement shall have the same meanings as defined in the Announcement.
The voting results were incorrectly stated in the Announcement due to a tabulation error in the scrutineer’s certificate, upon which the poll result is based. After the Meeting, the scrutineer identified proxies that were submitted prior to the Meeting and should have been included in the scrutineer’s certificate. Although the outcome of all Resolutions is not affected, the Company considers it appropriate to rectify its corporate records and re-state the voting results for the Meeting giving effect to the additional proxies. The Company has received today the revised scrutineer’s certificate with the corrected number of votes per Resolution.
