At the Meeting, shareholders of the Company also approved:
- The appointment of auditors;
- The advisory resolution on executive compensation;
- An amendment to Eldorado's
restated articles of incorporation to implement the proposed share
consolidation; and
- Eldorado's amended and
restated Stock Option Plan.
Voting results on each resolution are detailed below and can
also be found in the Company's final Report on Voting Results as
filed on SEDAR (www.sedar.com). All resolutions were conducted by
ballot.
As shareholders have approved the amendments to the Company's
articles, the Board will review the merits of a share consolidation
during the course of the next six months taking into consideration
the best interests of the Company, its trading price and the
requirements of the New York Stock Exchange.
As previously announced by the Company, Robert Gilmore did not stand for re-election to
the Company's Board. The Company thanks Robert for his years of
service.
"We would like to thank our shareholders for their ongoing
feedback and support," said George
Albino, Chair of Eldorado Gold's Board of Directors. "As
Chair, I look forward to continuing to improve our approach on
executive compensation and other governance matters. Further, I
would like to thank Robby for his dedicated years of service to the
Company, and extend a warm welcome to Teresa Conway."
