Singapore, 30 November 2017 – GLP today announced that its shareholders have approved the proposed acquisition of all the issued and paid-up ordinary shares in the capital of GLP (“Shares”) (excluding treasury Shares), by Nesta Investment Holdings Limited (the “Offeror”), via a scheme of arrangement (“Scheme”), at the Scheme Meeting held today.
新加坡，2017年11月30日 – 普洛斯今日宣布，在今日舉行的股東大會上，其股東已批準由Nesta Investment Holdings Limited （下稱“要約方”）提出的通過協議安排（下稱“協議”）對普洛斯的所有已發行和實繳的普通股（下稱“股份”）（不包括庫存股）進行收購。
Overwhelming Support from Shareholders
The Scheme has exceeded the requisite shareholder approval thresholds:
Of the total number of shareholders present and voting in person or by proxy at the Scheme Meeting, 96.02% voted FOR the Scheme (needed to meet more than 50%)
Of the total number of Sharesvoted 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%)
獲得壓倒性的股東支持
股東所投的贊成票數已經超出協議獲得通過所必需的股東贊成票數：
親自或請人代理出席股東大會并進行表決的所有股東中，96.02%投票贊成協議（要求超過50%）
親自或請人代理出席股東大會并進行表決的股東持有的所有股份中，99.96%投票贊成協議（要求不少于75%）
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.”
普洛斯董事會主席、專門委員會主席、獨立董事薛義華博士表示：“今天股東大會的結果讓我們離普洛斯的私有化更近了一步。獨立戰略性評估的一個關鍵目標是使所有股東的價值最大化，我們很高興協議方案獲得壓倒性的股東贊成票支持。今天的股東大會是一個重要的里程碑，我們在此感謝所有普洛斯股東自公司七年前上市以來的支持。”
GIC, as the single largest shareholder of GLP with a 36.84% stake, voted in favor of the Scheme. The Offeror and its concert parties did not participate in the voting process. The Scheme will be presented to the High Court of the Republic of Singapore for sanction. If the Scheme is sanctioned by the Court, it is expected to become effective and binding in accordance with its terms on 10 January 20181. Shareholders can expect to receive S$3.38 in cash per share (“Scheme Consideration”) by 19 January 20182. GLP will make further announcements on the actual dates in due course.
