TORONTO, Aug. 27, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Tangelo Games Corp. (TSX-VENTURE: GEL) (“Tangelo”, or “the Company”) today announced that Institutional Shareholder Services Inc. (“ISS”), a leading independent proxy advisory firm, has recommended that Tangelo shareholders vote “FOR” all of the resolutions at its annual and special meeting of shareholders on September 11, 2018, including but not limited to, the arrangement resolution in respect of the proposed sale of all of the issued and outstanding common shares of Tangelo to GoGel Holdings Inc. (“GoGel”).

In its report, ISS provided the following rationale:

“Vote FOR the proposed arrangement given the significant offer premium, the certainty of value of the cash consideration, the reasonable strategic rationale, the adequate strategic review process and the weak financial position of the company (as indicated by the auditor).”

Welcoming the favourable recommendation, Tangelo CEO and Director James Lanthier, stated: “We are pleased that ISS is joining a growing number of Tangelo shareholders supporting the arrangement transaction with GoGel. The arrangement provides shareholders with an opportunity to realize immediate liquidity and certainty of value. The only alternative is the real prospect of Tangelo being forced to seek creditor protection, where shareholders would, more likely than not, receive no consideration. We thank Tangelo shareholders for their ongoing support.”

Shareholders are reminded that every vote counts regardless of how many shares they own and to vote their proxies by September 7th, 2018 at 10:00 a.m. (Toronto Time).
