ZUG, SWITZERLAND and VANCOUVER, May 10, 2019 /CNW/ - HIVE Blockchain Technologies Ltd. (HVBTF) (TSX.V:HIVE) (OTCQX:HVBTF) (the "Company" or "HIVE) announces that it will hold its annual general meeting of the Company's shareholders (the "Meeting) on November 12, 2019.
The Company also announces that after careful review it has rejected the purported meeting requisition (the "Requisition) submitted by Genesis Mining Ltd. ("Genesis) on April 19, 2019 for being invalid. The Requisition is invalid as it failed to comply with the legal requirements applicable to a shareholder meeting requisition. Moreover, as disclosed in the Company's press release dated April 22, 2019, the primary purpose of the Requisition is to redress a personal grievance against the Company relating to the formal notice that the Company provided to Genesis on April 2, 2019 regarding certain material breaches by Genesis of the master service agreement (the "MSA) between the Company and Genesis, a clear contravention of the Business Corporations Act (British Columbia).
"HIVE is pleased that this latest unfortunate chapter with Genesis is behind us," said Frank Holmes, Interim Executive Chairman and Interim CEO of HIVE. "We are focused on driving shareholder value and resolving any differences with Genesis in good faith for the benefit of all HIVE shareholders."
The Company has engaged Norton Rose Fulbright Canada LLP as its special legal counsel.
