CALGARY, ALBERTA--(Marketwire - June 27, 2008) - Further to its press release dated June 13, 2008, CDG Investments Inc. ("CDG") (CNQ:CDGI) (OTCBB:CDGEF - News) is pleased to announce that it has mailed to shareholders the information circular detailing the proposal to enter into a plan of arrangement (the "Arrangement") to merge with Preo Software Inc. ("Preo") an Alberta-based private software company.
The CDG shareholder meeting is scheduled to be held at 9:00 a.m. on July 23, 2008 in Edmonton, Alberta. The completion of the transaction is subject to receipt of applicable regulatory and shareholder approvals, as well as approval of the Court of Queen's Bench of Alberta. A minimum of 66 2/3% of the votes cast by the shareholders of each of CDG and Preo must be voted in favour of the arrangement in order for it to be effected. In addition, a disinterested vote of CDG shareholders will be calculated excluding votes cast in respect of 8,656,157 CDG Shares (21.1%) to determine if the requisite minority approval has been obtained in accordance with Multilateral Instrument 61-101. If approved, the closing of the Arrangement is expected to occur shortly thereafter.
A letter of transmittal is being mailed along with the information circular and provides instructions to holders to exchange their CDG certificates for certificates of the amalgamated company in the event the Arrangement is approved. A copy of the information circular and letter of transmittal have been filed with securities regulators in Canada and may be found on the SEDAR website under CDG's profile at www.sedar.com.
In addition, CDG would like to announce that Barbara O'Neill, the corporate secretary for CDG will be retiring and will resign effective June 30, 2008, having provided over 15 years of service.
