GRAND CAYMAN, Cayman Islands, May 01, 2025--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Simpson Oil Limited ("Simpson Oil", "we" or "our"), the largest shareholder of Parkland Corporation ("Parkland" or the "Company"), holding 19.8% of the Company’s outstanding common shares, reminds shareholders to vote FOR its nine highly-qualified director nominees using the GOLD universal proxy card ahead of the Company’s upcoming Annual General Meeting (the "Meeting") on May 6, 2025.

To ensure their vote is counted, shareholders must submit their proxy by 5:00 p.m. (Mountain Time) on Thursday, May 1, 2025.

Simpson Oil’s call for boardroom change continues to gain momentum. In addition to the overwhelming support we’ve received from fellow shareholders, both Glass Lewis and ISS—the two leading independent proxy advisory firms—have recommended shareholders vote for meaningful boardroom change on the GOLD universal proxy card. As part of their recommendations, the proxy advisors highlighted Parkland’s longstanding underperformance, financial and strategic missteps, and a troubling pattern of entrenchment and gamesmanship by the board of directors (the "Board")—further underscoring the need for new, independent oversight.

Over the past two years, rather than addressing the ongoing performance issues and serious concerns raised by Simpson Oil, other shareholders, and the market at-large, the Board has instead engaged in gamesmanship and distraction tactics. In the latest example, Chairman Mike Jennings issued a last-ditch plea to shareholders. Had the incumbent Board been doing its job of creating long-term value, such an appeal wouldn’t be necessary. They’ve had their chance. It’s time for a new Board—aligned with shareholders and equipped with the independence, experience, and skillsets needed to Refuel Parkland and deliver lasting value.

YOUR VOTE IS IMPORTANT, NO MATTER HOW MANY SHARES YOU OWN.
PLEASE VOTE THE GOLD PROXY TODAY.

Simpson Oil reminds shareholders to use only the GOLD proxy card to vote for ALL NINE of Simpson Oil’s highly qualified director nominees:
