TORONTO, ON and MELBOURNE, AUSTRALIA / ACCESSWIRE / April 1, 2022 / Banxa Holdings Inc. (TSXV:BNXA)(OTCQX:BNXAF)(FSE:AC00) ("Banxa" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that all matters submitted to shareholders for approval as set out in detail in the Company's management information circular ("Circular") dated February 16, 2022 were approved at the annual general and special meeting of the shareholders of the Company held on March 31, 2022 (the "Meeting"). At the Meeting RSM Canada LLP was re-appointed as auditor of the Company, and the incumbent members of the board of directors, being Doron Cohen, Domenic Carosa, Matthew Cain and Joshua Landau were re-elected.
In addition to the above, disinterested shareholders of the Company voted in favour of making certain amendments to the escrow agreement dated September 27, 2018 (the "Escrow Agreement") among the Company (formerly as A-Labs Capital I Corp.), TSX Trust Company and certain shareholders of the Company, to align the Escrow Agreement with changes made to the TSX Venture Exchange ("TSXV" or the "Exchange") Policy 2.4 - Capital Pool Companies, which became effective as at January 1, 2021 (the "New CPC Policy").
Pursuant to the New CPC Policy, the Company wished to amend the Escrow Agreement to reduce the length of the term of the escrow release provision in the Escrow Agreement from 36 months to 18 months as permitted by Section 10.2 of the New CPC Policy (the "Escrow Amendment"). As required under the New CPC Policy, the Company obtained disinterested shareholder approval of the Escrow Amendment, by way of specific separate resolutions at the Meeting.
Further details relating to the proposed Escrow Amendment are disclosed in the Circular which is available on the Company's profile at www.sedar.com.
The Escrow Amendment remains subject to the approval of the TSXV.

The New Option Plan replaces and supersedes the Company's previous 10% rolling stock option plan adopted on December 16, 2019. For more information on the changes to Policy 4.4, please see the TSXV Bulletin re Policy 4.4 - Security Based Compensation (November 24, 2021).
