Cermaq ASA : Annual General Meeting, voting relating to the rights issue and acquisition of Copeinca ASA
May 21 2013 - 6:54AM
The Annual General Meeting
of Cermaq ASA was held on the 21st of May 2013.
The rights issue in order to finance the acquisition of Copeinca
ASA proposed by the Board was supported by the majority of the
shares represented at the general meeting, but did not get the
required 2/3 majority. The proposal regarding authorisation to
issue shares in a private placement for the same purpose was thus
not voted on.
The General Meeting approved to distribute a
dividend of NOK 1.00 per share for the fiscal year 2012. The
dividend will be treated as the repayment of paid-in capital. The
dividend will be paid on 28 May 2013 to the company's shareholders
as per 21st May 2013,
and the share will be listed exclusive of dividend from 22nd May
2013 onwards.
The General Meeting granted the Board of Directors proxy to acquire
own shares up to a total nominal value of NOK 46 250 000, however,
in such a way, that the company's total holding of own shares must
not at any time exceed 5 per cent of the outstanding shares in the
company.
Directors Rebekka Glasser Herlofsen, Helge Midttun and Åse Aulie
Michelet were re-elected as board members in Cermaq ASA for a
period of 2 years. In addition, Mr. Samuel Dyer Coriat was elected
to the Board of Directors for a period of two years with effect
from the date of (and therefore subject to) the completion of
Cermaq's voluntary offer for the shares in Copeinca ASA. The Chair
of the Board, Bård Mikkelsen, was not up for election.
Please find enclosed the CEOs presentation at the
Annual General Meeting, re agenda point 5, and the CFOs
