Results of EGM and AGM and Directors' Appointments

 

On 22 May 2015, Aseana Properties Limited (LSE: ASPL), a property developer in Malaysia and Vietnam, listed on the Main Market of the London Stock Exchange, announced that it had put forward recommended Proposals regarding the future of the Company, to be considered at an EGM of the Company, The Proposals were to amend the Company's investment policy to enable a realisation of its assets in a controlled, orderly and timely manner, with the objective of achieving a balance between periodically returning cash to Shareholders and maximising the realisation value of the Company's investments.

 

In addition, the Company announced that the Board was recommending that Shareholders vote against the Discontinuation Resolution to be proposed at the Company's AGM (as required under the Company's Articles), held immediately following the EGM, to allow a policy of orderly realisation of the Company's assets over a period of up to three years in order to maximise the value of the Company's assets and returns to Shareholders, both up to and upon the eventual liquidation of the Company.

 

The Company announces that at the EGM and the AGM, Shareholders have today supported both the Board's recommendations, to vote in favour of the ordinary resolution to approve the Proposals set out in the EGM circular, and to vote against the Discontinuation Resolution set out in the Notice of AGM.
