- MDC Partners (NASDAQ:MDCA) has set a special meeting of shareholders to take up the push by FrontFour Capital to replace three directors.
- The meeting's set for June 4, concurrent with its annual meeting -- a move it says will save expense and disruption rather than having two meetings in quick succession.
- FrontFour, which owns about 5.3% of the company, has pressed for executive changes for some time and earlier this month requested a special meeting to consider the move.
- MDC also says its board adopted an advance notice by-law setting a framework for notice for nominating directors; that by-law is effective immediately and will be presented to shareholders for confirmation June 4.
- It's retained Kingsdale Advisors as strategic shareholder/communications adviser, and Stikeman Elliott as legal advisers, as it considers strategic alternatives.
