Results of Annual General Meeting
Aseana Properties Limited (LSE: ASPL), a property developer in Malaysia, listed on the Main Market of the London Stock Exchange, announces the results of its Annual General Meeting held today, 30 July 2024.
Annual General Meeting
The votes received in respect of the resolutions proposed at the Annual General Meeting represented a total of 90.9 per cent. of the 159,853,498 ordinary shares in issue as at the date of the meeting (each ordinary share carries one vote), which excludes 13,334,000 ordinary shares in treasury.
Resolutions 1 and 4 to 7 were passed with the requisite majority. Resolution 8 to hold treasury shares was not passed.
Resolutions 2 and 3 to re-elect Helen Wong and Tom Holland, did not pass. Consequently, Helen Wong and Tom Holland will not be re-appointed as Directors and their duties as Directors cease with immediate effect.
Subsequent to the Annual General Meeting the Board resolved to retain Helen Wong in a consultancy role to the Company until at least 30 September 2024 to continue with the ongoing asset divestment activities on the same financial terms as her previous role as Divestment Director. Meanwhile the remaining Directors will work to create robust plans to manage the Company operations and continue the disposal of our assets and on a plan to transition to those plans.
