CALGARY, Alberta--(BUSINESS WIRE)--

Additional restrictions may be added to the Company’s COVID-19 visitor requirements based on the changing nature of public health advisories.
The Company will only conduct the formal business of the Meeting. There will not be a follow-up corporate presentation nor question period provided by the Chair of the Board.
Blackline intends to host an open house at a convenient time when the international COVID-19 crisis has subsided, allowing shareholders to meet the teams, see its new G7 EXO area gas monitor and tour its headquarters and manufacturing facility.
