(TSX: RDL)("Redline" or the "Company") announces today that the Toronto Stock Exchange has accepted notice for filing of the shareholder rights plan (the "Rights Plan") adopted by Redline on March 7, 2016, subject to ratification by Redline's shareholders within six months. Such approval will be sought at the upcoming annual general and special meeting of the Company, which is expected to be held in June 2016.  If ratified by the shareholders of Redline, the Rights Plan will have an initial term of three years.

The Rights Plan is not intended to prevent take-over bids that treat shareholders fairly and offer fair value, and permits bids that meet certain requirements intended to protect the interests of all shareholders.
