JZ CAPITAL PARTNERS LIMITED (the "Company")(a closed-end collective investment scheme incorporated as a non-cellular company with limited liability under the laws of Guernsey with registered number 48761)
Results of Meeting of CULS Holders, Separate General Meetingsand Extraordinary General Meeting
The Board of Directors of the Company is pleased to announce that the resolutions proposed at the Meeting of CULS Holders, the Separate General Meetings and the Extraordinary General Meeting were duly passed without amendment by the required majorities.
Further details of the resolutions are set out in the Circular and, in the case of the resolution proposed at the Meeting of CULS Holders, the CULS Circular.
Accordingly, the Company's existing dividend policy has been discontinued and the new strategy is adopted. Under the new strategy, purchases by the Company of its Ordinary Shares will be undertaken when opportunities in the market permit, and as the Company’s cash resources allow. Naturally the Board will have regard at the relevant time to the best interests of the Company in determining the application of cash resources and where other applications are required or seem appropriate, such as in other investments or the repayment of debt, the cash will be applied accordingly. The new strategy will be kept under review by the Board, particularly with regard to the level of the discount to net asset value of the Company's Ordinary Shares. When the discount no longer justifies the continuation of the strategy the Board will consider returning to the payment of dividends. The Company does not intend to declare or pay a second interim dividend to Ordinary Shareholders for the financial year ending 28 February 2017.
