RevoluGROUP Shareholder Escalation for Better Governance
RevoluGROUP Shareholders Demand Accountability
A group of shareholders at RevoluGROUP Canada Inc. (TSX-V: REVO) recently voiced their dissatisfaction with the company's governance. This collective, representing over 10% of the outstanding shares, felt compelled to act due to the board's ongoing failures to implement agreed-upon reforms.
Concerns Over Governance Issues
Despite previous announcements acknowledging shareholder proposals, the board has yet to execute any of the proposed resolutions. Among these was the appointment of a shareholder-nominated executive director, a change endorsed by the board itself.
Stalled Resolutions
On June 27, the Proxy Shareholder Group submitted a formal resolution outlining crucial steps for the board. These included:
- Appointing a qualified director;
- Starting creditor negotiations;
- Securing a CAD $350,000 loan to settle existing liabilities;
However, the board has not signed or acted upon this resolution, raising troubling questions about transparency and accountability.
Concerns Regarding Financial Disclosures
The lack of disclosure regarding recent loan funding is particularly alarming. Director Gavin McMillan acknowledged the Company had received funding, yet key details remain undisclosed:
- The amount received;
- The identity of the lender;
- The terms or duration of the loan;
- Any assets pledged as collateral;
This lack of information likely breaches TSXV Policy 3.3 concerning timely disclosure, as public issuers must provide material information about their financing activities.
Regulatory Implications
Non-disclosure during a Cease Trade Order (CTO) signifies not only a disregard for regulatory compliance but also raises concerns about corporate governance.
Improper Conduct by Board Members
Further complicating matters, recent communications from Mr. McMillan suggest he encouraged a proxy group leader to discuss the Company’s financial path privately with an undisclosed third party. This individual has not been recognized publicly as part of the company's management, leading to concerns about transparency and governance protocols.
Governance Protocol Breaches
The Proxy Shareholder Group considers this engagement as a potential violation of confidentiality and fiduciary duty, highlighting significant governance failings within the Company.
Shareholder Actions Moving Forward
In light of these issues, the Proxy Shareholder Group remains steadfast in asserting the validity of their May 31 proposal. The continued failure to adopt the proposed resolutions obstructs necessary governance reforms.
- The May 31, 2025 proposal is active and enforceable.
- The board's inaction reflects a direct obstruction of governance reform.
- Further delays may invoke escalation under Section 167 of the BCBCA, leading to a requisition for a formal shareholder meeting.
Consequently, shareholders are urged to contact the Company directly, demanding:
- Immediate disclosure of all financial agreements;
- Clarity on decision-making influences;
- Accountability for the ongoing failure to meet stated commitments.
The Proxy Shareholder Group remains committed to engaging with regulators, legal counsel, and shareholders to ensure transparency and protect investor interests.
