COMMITTEE TO REVITALIZE DOMINION BRIDGE
RECEIVES APPROVAL FROM 47% OF SHAREHOLDERS;
ANNOUNCES EXTENSION OF SOLICITATION DEADLINE
New York -- August 18, 1997 -- The Committee to Revitalize
Dominion Bridge Corporation announced today that it has obtained the affirmative
endorsement from approximately 47% of the shareholders of Dominion Bridge
Corporation (NASDAQ: DBCO) for the Committee's proposal to oust the Company's
senior management.
Based on this success, the Committee plans to continue its
solicitation effort. Accordingly, the Committee will set August 20, 1997 as the
new record date for written consents and will be asking shareholders to once
again vote to oust the Company's senior management.
Mr. John D. Kuhns, the Committee's chairman, stated: "The
level of support we have received from shareholders is just outstanding. If this
had been a regular shareholder meeting, we would have had more than enough votes
to elect a slate of directors supporting the Committee's objective. Based on
this outcome, it is clear that Messrs. Marangere and Matossian lack any
legitimacy to represent shareholders or negotiate transactions with third
parties. We trust that the Board of Directors can appreciate this fact and begin
working with the Committee to implement its objectives. In order to ensure that
this will happen, we are extending our consent solicitation for another two
months with the goal of bringing the Board and the Company's senior management
toward the realization that immediate changes are warranted."
