The Company also reminds shareholders to vote in sufficient time for their vote to be received in advance of the of the Special Meeting of Shareholders to be held on October 15, 2018. Shareholders are being asked to consider and approve the removal of investment restrictions prohibiting investments of more than 40% of total assets in securities of private issuers and investing more than 10% of total assets in securities of any single issuer. As outlined in the Management Information Circular ("Info Circ"), the Board of Directors and Management believes that these investment restrictions unduly restrict the Corporation's flexibility and its ability to respond to quickly changing market conditions.

A copy of the management information circular, which includes full details of the proposed changes, was mailed to shareholders of record as of the close of business on September 14, 2018 and is available on the Company's website at  www.cgocorp.com, as well as under the profile on SEDAR available at www.sedar.com.
