China Hydroelectric Corporation Held Annual General Meeting of Shareholders
On October 31, 2011, China Hydroelectric Corporation (the “Company”) held its annual general meeting of shareholders in New York. The shareholders of the Company passed resolutions approving:
|
|
|
| • | Re-election of Anthony H. Dixon and You-Su Lin to serve as Class II Directors for a three-year term expiring at the Company’s annual general meeting of shareholders to be held in 2014; and |
| • | Ratification of the appointment of Ernst & Young Hua Ming as the Company’s independent auditors for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2011. |
Article 12 of the Company’s current Amended and Restated Articles of Association contains a “blank check preferred stock” provision, which authorizes the Company’ Board of Directors (the “Board”) to, without prior shareholder approval, authorize and, issue one or more classes of our preferred shares and establish the dividend, conversion, voting and other rights thereof. The shareholders of the Company were asked to approve a technical change to the wording of that provision in order to, under the laws of the Cayman Islands, clarify the Board’s authority to authorize classes of preferred stock without prior shareholder approval. The adoption of the amendment requires a 66-2/3% vote, which was not obtained. Accordingly, the resolution was not adopted. The blank check preferred provision of Article 12 remains in full force and effect.
