What the Numbers Show
The approval rates for all four resolutions remained consistently high, ranging between 83.84% and 85.89%. This indicates strong alignment among participating shareholders regarding the employee retention strategy and the financial mechanisms supporting it. Notably, the resolution authorizing the trust to acquire shares in the secondary market received the highest support at 85.89%, suggesting shareholder comfort with potential dilution or market impact from such purchases compared to the internal scheme formulation.
The voting data reveals a distinct divergence between institutional and non-institutional participation levels. Public institutions voted on approximately 8.22% of their outstanding shares, whereas public non-institutions participated at a lower rate of roughly 3.44%. Despite the lower participation rate among non-institutional investors, they constituted the bulk of the votes cast in favour, reflecting their larger shareholding base.
