Deal vote set: Thurs., July 28

InterOil Corporation (NYSE: IOC; POMSoX: IOC) has scheduled a Special Meeting to be held on July 28, 2016 for holders of common shares, options and restricted share units (collectively, “Securityholders&rdquo to consider the previously announced Oil Search transaction. Shareholders of record as of June 20, 2016 will be entitled to vote at the Special Meeting.

This meeting is separate from the Special and Annual Meeting of Shareholders, which is scheduled for June 14, 2016.

Additional information about the transaction will be provided to all InterOil Securityholders in a Management Information Circular, which will be filed on SEDAR and mailed to Securityholders in due course. The process relating to the Special Meeting is subject to receipt of an interim order of the Supreme Court of Yukon.

I highlighted what I consider to be a very strange statement which I assume refers to Special Meeting Number 2 - to vote on the deal.

I guess this means the Yukon Supreme Court will dictate the Deal Vote process after considering inputs from IOC and "Concerned IOC Shareholders."

By doing so, it will eliminate the need/ possibility for either party to file a grievance.

Maybe the Court will set the meeting in Yellowknife!   Notice the IOC release didn't mention a location.
