TORONTO, Dec. 04, 2017 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- NextSource Materials Inc. (TSX:NEXT) (OTCQB:NSRC) (“NextSource” or the “Company”) has received numerous inquiries from stockholders regarding how to vote their respective shares in their efforts to support the Company’s intention to move the corporate domicile of the Company to Canada (the “Redomicile”) so that it may operate under the Canada Business Corporations Act (“CBCA”). The Company is currently incorporated under the laws of Minnesota.
Redomiciling to Canada from Minnesota will provide the Company a significant reduction in operating cost related to administrative and legal fees, as well as logically aligning our corporate domicile to where the head office and executive management reside. There will be no change in how NextSource conducts its business. It will conduct the same business as it conducted prior to the Redomicile and will continue to be traded on the TSX under the symbol “NEXT” and on the OTCQB under the symbol “NSRC”.
TODAY AT MIDNIGHT IS THE DEADLINE TO VOTE YOUR SHARES. PLEASE VOTE TODAY.
HOW TO VOTE
The majority of stockholders will be “non-registered”. This means that your shares were either:
i) purchased through a broker or bank, or
ii) currently held with a broker or in a trading account at a broker or bank, or
iii) purchased by you through an online discount broker
If any of the above conditions apply to stockholders, you will need to call your broker, bank or the online discount broker where you currently hold your shares and inform them you wish to vote your shares today for NextSource’s 2017 Annual and Special Meeting (the “AGM”) of stockholders.
Non-registered stockholders will most likely be provided with a “control number” to allow you to vote online or will provide you with other instructions to vote your shares.
Your vote is important regardless of the number of shares you own. If any stockholders have not yet voted their respective shares, the Company encourages them to do so.
The Board of Directors unanimously recommends that stockholders vote “FOR” this proposal and support the Company’s continuing efforts to operate in the most efficient manner and reduce operating expenses wherever possible.

MAJORITY STOCKHOLDER APPROVAL REQUIRED
