InterOil to Proceed with Shareholder Meeting as Scheduled
SINGAPORE and PORT MORESBY, Papua New Guinea, June 9, 2016 /PRNewswire/ --
InterOil Corporation (NYSE: IOC; POMSoX: IOC) today announced that, at a hearing held today, the Supreme Court of Yukon rejected Phil Mulacek's attempt to delay the Corporation's Annual and Special Meeting of Shareholders (the "Meeting"), finding there was no basis on which to interfere with the Board of Director's judgement to proceed with the Meeting. As a result, the Meeting will proceed as scheduled, for June 14, 2016.
Time is short and shareholders are encouraged to vote the WHITE proxy today:
InterOil encourages shareholders to vote the WHITE proxy as recommended by the Board FOR all of InterOil's highly qualified director nominees and to reject Mulacek's resolutions and hand-picked and unqualified nominees.
InterOil's director nominees are proven leaders that have taken decisive action to address the challenges created by Mr. Mulacek prior to his departure from the Corporation and create value for shareholders. The Board has enabled InterOil to enter the compelling transaction with Oil Search Limited, which your Board believes will deliver significant value to all InterOil shareholders.
In contrast, Mr. Mulacek is pursuing a self-serving agenda to take control of InterOil's Board and its future through its requisitioned resolutions and by nominating his employees and associates for election to the Corporation's Board. Mr. Mulacek has articulated no strategy for InterOil and his interests conflict with those of InterOil and its shareholders. The Board has thoroughly reviewed Mulacek's resolutions and his nominees and determined that they are not in the best interest of InterOil or its shareholders.
InterOil urges shareholders to discard any proxy sent to them by Mulacek. Even if shareholders have previously voted on the blue proxy, they may change their vote by submitting a later-dated WHITE proxy or following the instructions on their proxy. Only the last-dated proxy will count.
If you have any questions, require assistance with
voting your WHITE
proxy card or need additional copies of the proxy materials, please contact:
