Whilst the resolutions put to Shareholders received the support of a majority of Shareholders at each of the Meetings, only the resolution put to the CZDP Class Meeting was duly approved.

 

With the resolutions put to the General Meeting and the Ordinary Share Class Meeting not receiving the necessary approval of a 75% majority, the Proposals cannot be implemented and the Settlement Deed, which is conditional on the Proposals having been approved by Shareholders prior to 29 February 2016, is not expected to take effect. The Settlement Deed would have served to settle the ongoing dispute with Brooks Macdonald.

 

As previously announced, it is likely that the Company will not be in a position to redeem US$12 million of CZDPs by 8 March 2016, as is required under the Company's articles of association.

 

Shonaid Jemmett-Page, Chairman of Origo, commented:

 

"The directors of Origo are disappointed with the outcome of the Meetings and believe that the implementation of the Proposals would have been a fair and equitable outcome for all of the Company's shareholders. The Company remains committed to working with its key Shareholders to restructure the payment terms for the CZDPs and to resolving the ongoing dispute with Brooks Macdonald."
