Of the total number of Shares voted by shareholders present and voting in person or by proxy at the Scheme Meeting, 99.96% voted FOR the Scheme (needed to meet at least 75%)
获得压倒性的股东支持

Dr. Seek Ngee Huat, Chairman of GLP’s Board, Chairman of the Special Committee, and Independent Director, said: “The result from today’s Scheme Meeting brings us one step closer to the privatization of GLP. A key objective of the independent Strategic Review was to maximize value for all shareholders, and we are pleased that the proposal received overwhelming support from shareholders. Today’s Scheme Meeting marks a significant milestone and we would like to thank all GLP shareholders for their support since the IPO seven years ago.”
普洛斯董事会主席、专门委员会主席、独立董事薛义华博士表示:“今天股东大会的结果让我们离普洛斯的私有化更近了一步。独立战略性评估的一个关键目标是使所有股东的价值最大化,我们很高兴协议方案获得压倒性的股东赞成票支持。今天的股东大会是一个重要的里程碑,我们在此感谢所有普洛斯股东自公司七年前上市以来的支持。”
