Ordinary resolution number 6, relating to the general authority to allot and issue shares for
cash, was withdrawn prior to the commencement of the annual general meeting. This was in
line with feedback from the company’s shareholders who hold the view that the intrinsic value
of Altron’s share exceeds its current share price.
Accordingly, all the resolutions as set out in the notice of annual general meeting, save for the
above withdrawal, were passed by the requisite majority of votes.
The special resolutions will, to the extent necessary, be filed and registered with the
Companies and Intellectual Property Commission.
