Mr. Beveridge has been an important contributor to PyroGenesis’ success. Mr. Beveridge’s employer –the Toronto Dominion Bank (“TD”) demanded that Mr. Beveridge resign and, that the Company accept his resignation. TD made these demands in reference to a TD policy that precludes their brokers from sitting on public company boards. TD had originally approved Mr. Beveridge’s request to sit on PyroGenesis’ Board.

“It is with deep regret that we have been forced to accept Mr. Beveridge’s resignation,” said Mr. P. Peter Pascali. “We wish Mr. Beveridge all the best in his future endeavors and thank him for his contribution.”
