(TSX: SDI) (OTC QX: DIAGF) (\"Spectral\", or the \"Corporation\") today announced the approval and adoption by its board of directors\n (the \"Board\") of new by-laws (\"By-Laws\") which include advance notice provisions, the purpose of which is to\n require advance notice be provided to the Corporation in circumstances\n where nominations of persons for election to the Board are made by\n shareholders of the Corporation other than pursuant to: (i) a\n requisition of a meeting of shareholders made pursuant to the\n provisions of the Business Corporations Act (Ontario) (the \"Act\"); or (ii) a shareholder proposal made pursuant to the\n provisions of the Act.\n\n\nThe purpose of the By-Law is to provide shareholders, directors and\n management of the Corporation with a clear framework for nominating\n directors.

In the case of a special\n meeting of shareholders (which is not also an annual meeting), notice\n to the Corporation must be made not later than the close of business on\n the 15th day following the day on which the first public announcement of the\n date of the special meeting was made.\n\n\nThe By-Law is effective immediately and will be placed before\n shareholders for ratification at the next annual and special meeting of\n shareholders of the Corporation.
