REPORT ON PROCEEDINGS AT THE GENERAL MEETINGS OF SHAREHOLDERS AND
DEBENTURE HOLDERS
Unitholders are advised that at the adjourned general meetings
(the meetings) of the shareholders and debenture holders of
Hospitality, held today, 21 August 2015, in order to approve
resolutions in relation to the capital restructure of the Company
as set out in the Circular to unitholders, issued by the Company
on 1 July 2015, all the ordinary and special resolutions proposed
at the meeting were approved by the requisite majority of votes.
Although combined meetings were held of the holders of A and B
Shares and A and B Debentures respectively, the quorum for each
meeting was determined and voting took place as if they were
separate meetings of each class of shareholders and debenture
holders and votes were counted separately in respect of each
class.
In this regard, Hospitality confirms the voting statistics from
the meetings as follows:
