YBM will call special meeting

Article Abstract:

YBM Magnex International Inc., a magnet manufacturer based in Bucks County, PA, will conduct a special meeting to name new members on its board and to update stockowners about its problems. In August 1998, a number of Canadian institutional shareholders, each owning no less than 5% of YBM stock, made a demand for a special stockholders meeting to force out some directors from the board. YBM made a decision to call a special meeting after talking with VC & Co., a shareholder advisory company based in Toronto, Ontario, that serves as representative for the Canadian investors. The meeting will probably be conducted in Toronto in 35 to 60 days.
