Item 5.08 Shareholder Director Nominations.
The information set forth under Item 8.01 regarding the deadline for submitting proposals for director nominations is incorporated herein by reference.
Item 8.01 Other Events.
On July 15, 2016, Triangle Petroleum Corporation (the “Company”) filed a Current Report on Form 8-K reporting that the date for its 2016 Annual Meeting of Stockholders (the “2016 Annual Meeting”) had been tentatively scheduled for September 1, 2016. The report also disclosed a deadline of July 25, 2016 for certain stockholder proposals and director nominations. No such stockholder proposals or nominations were submitted.
On July 27, 2016, the Company filed a Current Report on Form 8-K reporting that the Company was postponing the date of the 2016 Annual Meeting to a date yet to be determined.
The Company has scheduled the date of the 2016 Annual Meeting for December 16, 2016. Because the date of the 2016 Annual Meeting is more than 30 days after the anniversary date of the 2015 Annual Meeting of Stockholders, in accordance with Rule 14a-5(f) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), the Company is informing stockholders of such change.
For a stockholder proposal (including for a nomination of directors) to be considered for inclusion in the Company’s proxy statement for the 2016 Annual Meeting in accordance with Rule 14a-8 under the Exchange Act, the proposal must be received by the Company’s Secretary at the address set forth below no later than the close of business on October 24, 2016. Any such proposal also must comply with Rule 14a-8 under the Exchange Act.
For a stockholder proposal (including for a nomination of directors) that is not intended to be included in the Company’s proxy statement for the 2016 Annual Meeting under Rule 14a-8 under the Exchange Act, written notice of the proposal, which must include the information required by the Company’s Bylaws, must be received by the Company’s Secretary at the address set forth below no later than the close of business on October 24, 2016.
The address of the Company’s Corporate Secretary is: Triangle Petroleum Corporation, Attn: Ryan McGee, Secretary, 1200 17th Street, Suite 2500, Denver, CO 80202.
