MONTREAL, June 09, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Bombardier (TSX: BBD.B) announced today that it will host its 2020 Annual Meeting of Shareholders ("Meeting") on June 18, 2020 at 10:30 EDT in a virtual format due to the ongoing public health concerns related to the COVID-19 pandemic.
The Corporation previously announced in its 2020 Notice of Meeting that, subject to public health conditions and concerns, it would host a hybrid Meeting format, whereby registered shareholders and duly appointed proxyholders could attend and participate either in person or via a live webcast. However, given the continued risks associated with hosting gatherings during the COVID-19 pandemic, the Company has made the decisions to adopt a pure virtual format with no in-person participation.
