DENVER, June 20, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Intermap Technologies Corporation (TSX: IMP) (“Intermap” or the “Company”), a global leader in 3D geospatial products and intelligence solutions, today announced that MNP LLP (“MNP”) have been appointed as auditors of the Company. The board of directors of the Company (the “Board”) approved the appointment of MNP as auditors.
KPMG LLP (“KPMG”) were the former auditors of the Company. On May 5, 2025 (the “Resignation Date”), KPMG notified the Company of their decision, at their own initiative, to decline to stand for re-appointment as the Company’s auditors in respect of the financial year ending December 31, 2025. The Company has worked diligently since the Resignation Date to select appropriate successor auditors to KPMG, which led to the appointment of MNP.
Pursuant to the Company’s Management Information Circular dated May 28, 2025 (the “Circular”), at the upcoming annual general meeting (the “Meeting”) of holders of Class A common shares of the Company (“Shareholders”) to be held on June 26, 2025, Shareholders are being asked to approve the appointment of successor auditors to KPMG (the “Replacement Auditors”) to hold office until the next annual meeting of Shareholders or until a successor is appointed, and to authorize the Board to fix the remuneration of the Replacement Auditors. This announcement serves as notice to the Shareholders that the Company has appointed MNP as the Replacement Auditors. Accordingly, at the Meeting, Shareholders are being asked to approve the appointment of MNP as the Replacement Auditors, and to authorize the Board to fix their remuneration.
The Company will not issue a new form of proxy or voting instruction form to Shareholders in respect of the Meeting. Shareholders who vote by proxy in advance of the Meeting in respect of the appointment of the “Replacement Auditors” as auditors of the Company should be aware that they are voting in respect of the appointment of MNP and the authorization of the Board to fix their remuneration.
As previously disclosed, there were no modified opinions in KPMG’s report on any of the financial statements of the Company relating to the period commencing at the beginning of the Company’s two most recently completed financial years and ending on the Resignation Date, nor have there been any “reportable events,” as defined in National Instrument 51-102 – Continuous Disclosure Obligations.
