Indonesia's Sampoerna Reschedule Shareholder's Meeting to Feb 17
|
Jakarta (ANTARA News) Jan 30 12:05
PT HM Sampoerna said it has rescheduled a special shareholders` meeting
to Feb 17 after failing to achieve a quorum at last Friday`s meeting.
The meeting was supposed to vote on proposals to license the production
and sale of Sampoerna`s cigarette brands overseas and to license Sampoerna
to produce and sell locally Philip Morris International Inc`s brands
such as Marlboro.
Last Friday`s meeting needed a quorum of 50 pct, plus one of the company`s
minority shareholders, but the turnout was only only 9 pct.
It was the first meeting held by the company to seek independent shareholders`
approval since Marlboro producer Philip Morris acquired a stake of
more than 97 pct in the company last May.
According to the existing regulations, the company can lower the quorum
at a third meeting with the approval of the capital market watchdog,
Bapepam, should it also fail in a second attempt to acheive the required
numbers, XFN-Asia reported.(*)
