Amaya has now said that it expects the name to come into effect from August of this year and will coincide with the relocation of its head office to a new site in the Canadian city of Toronto.
Meanwhile, shareholders at the firm’s AGM also voted to approve continuance under the Business Corporations Act (Ontario), with Amaya to become an Ontario corporation.
This approval includes the adoption of the articles of continuance and the new by-laws of Amaya under such act.
In addition, shareholders voted to re-elect a number of directors to the Amaya board. Divyesh Gadhia, Harlan Goodson, Alfred Hurley Jr., David Lazzarto, Peter Murphy and Mary Turner will all retain their roles as directors of the company.
