Marketwired
ATHENS, GREECE (AMEX: SRG.U) (AMEX: SRG.W) has moved the Record
Date for the determination of shareholders entitled to notice of
and to vote at Seanergy's special meeting of shareholders to July
25, 2008 ("Record Date"). The date of the special meeting will be
announced shortly.
At the special meeting, shareholders of record will be asked to
consider and vote upon a proposal to approve the acquisition by
Seanergy Merger Corp., the wholly owned subsidiary of the Company,
of six dry bulk vessels from affiliates of the Restis family
(including a newly built vessel and a vessel under construction),
as contemplated in the Master Agreement dated May 20, 2008, and
other related matters.
Ensuring Your Vote is Counted
In advance of the Record Date, Seanergy advises holders of its
securities to move these securities into accounts which do not
permit the lending of securities, so called cash accounts or
segregated accounts, and out of accounts that permit the lending of
securities, such as margin accounts. These steps are designed to
ensure that votes related to common shares beneficially owned by
shareholders are properly counted. Beneficial owners of common
shares that have been lent out (either with or without the
beneficial owners' knowledge) are not permitted to vote those
shares.
