OTTAWA, March 20, 2012 /PRNewswire/ - March Networks(®) (TSX: MN), a global provider of intelligent IP video solutions, today
announced that, at a special meeting of shareholders held earlier today
(the "Meeting"), the shareholders of March Networks Corporation ("March
Networks") voted to approve the previously announced arrangement under
the Canada Business Corporations Act (the "Arrangement") pursuant to which Infinova (Canada) Ltd. ("Infinova
Canada"), an indirect wholly-owned Canadian subsidiary of Shenzhen
Infinova Ltd. ("Shenzhen Infinova"), will acquire all of the issued and
outstanding common shares of March Networks for C$5.00 per share in
cash.
Shareholders holding approximately 62.70% of the outstanding common
shares of March Networks were represented in person or by proxy at the
Meeting. Approximately 98.15% of the common shares voted at the Meeting
were voted in favour of the special resolution approving the
Arrangement. This vote included a majority of the votes cast excluding
the votes that were required to be excluded under applicable Canadian
securities laws. In addition, approximately 98.15% of the common shares

that the Arrangement be approved by shareholders of March Networks.
A final order approving the Arrangement will be sought from the Ontario
Superior Court of Justice at a hearing scheduled to be held on Friday,
March 23, 2012 in Toronto. Assuming this final order is obtained and
all remaining conditions under the Arrangement Agreement are satisfied
or waived (where permitted), the Arrangement is expected to become
effective in late March or in April, 2012. The common shares will be
de-listed from the Toronto Stock Exchange following completion of the
Arrangement.
