MONTREAL, QUEBEC -- (Marketwired) -- 03/31/15 -- Orbite Aluminae Inc. (TSX: ORT)(OTCQX: EORBF) ("Orbite" or the "Company") today announced it will postpone its customary quarterly conference call, originally to be held on April 1st, to April 8th at 10 a.m. Additionally, the Company announces that the previously postponed special meeting of shareholders will be held April 27, 2015, to vote on the Series Y Financing.
Considering Orbite's intention to provide shareholders with the opportunity to ask management to address issues during the question and answer session subsequent to the conference call and given the legal restrictions applicable to disclosure during the distribution period relating to Orbite's bought deal financing announced earlier today, management has deemed it preferable to postpone the conference call to a time subsequent to the anticipated closing of the bought deal portion of the current offering.
"In our call, we want to be able to conduct an open dialogue with our shareholders on matters ranging from the completion of our HPA plant to our finances," stated Glenn Kelly, CEO of Orbite. "The restrictions placed upon us in relation to the current financing render that difficult, which would result in a rather sterile and uninformative call, which benefits none of our stakeholders. By postponing the call, we will be able to discuss all matters of interest, obviously subject to not breeching disclosure regulations."
Special Meeting of Shareholders
The previously postponed special meeting of shareholders relative to the Series Y Subscription Rights financing will be held on April 27th, 2015. Details and further information regarding this meeting will be communicated subsequent to the closing of the bought deal portion of the current offering, as described above.
CONFERENCE CALL DETAILS:
Details for the conference call to discuss the Company's Q4 and Full Year 2014 financials, as well as to discuss the Company's progress towards completion of its 3 tpd HPA facility, are as follows:
The call will be held in English. The Q&A session will be in English and French.
