Gran Tierra Energy Inc. Announces Adjournment of Virtual Annual
Meeting of Stockholders until June 2, 2021 and Encourages All
Shareholders to Vote
Gran Tierra Energy Inc.
(“Gran Tierra” or
the “Company”) (NYSE American:GTE) (TSX:GTE) (LSE:GTE)
today announced that after convening the Company’s 2021 Annual
Meeting of Stockholders (
“the Annual Meeting”)
virtually on Wednesday, May 5, 2021 at 1:30 p.m. (Mountain Time),
Gran Tierra adjourned the Annual Meeting until Wednesday, June 2,
2021 at 1:30 p.m. (Mountain Time). Due to the COVID-19 pandemic and
to mitigate the risks to the health and safety of our community,
stockholders and employees, Gran Tierra will be also be holding its
rescheduled Annual Meeting in a virtual-only format by way of
webcast and no physical or in-person meeting will be held.
At the original scheduled time of the Annual
Meeting, a total of 168,914,286 shares of the Company’s common
stock, or 46% of the common stock outstanding as of March 9, 2021,
the record date for the Annual Meeting, were represented virtually
or by proxy, which fell short of the 50% of the Company’s common
stock outstanding required to reach quorum. For the sole reason of
the lack of quorum, Gran Tierra adjourned the Annual Meeting to
provide the Company’s stockholders additional time to vote their
shares.
We encourage all stockholders to
actively take steps to vote their shares. See below under “How to
Vote” for instructions on how to vote if you have not already
voted.
We also encourage all stockholders and
interested parties to refer to our press release issued yesterday,
May 4, 2021, and our updated Corporate Presentation, both of which
can be found on our website at www.grantierra.com. Both documents
provide an overview of the excellent financial and operational
results which Gran Tierra has achieved so far in 2021.
