安大略省多倫多/ACCESSWIRE/2024年3月8日/abrdn亞太收益基金VCC（多倫多證券交易所股票代碼：FAP）（UEN：T21VC0235H）（“公司”）今天公佈了2024年3月8日在新加坡舉行的年度股東大會（“會議”）的結果。選舉了四名董事和審計員，如下所述。
Whereas six directors were nominated for election as directors in the management information circular dated January 18, 2024 (the "Circular"), the Company also announced that prior to the Meeting, Mr. P. Gerald Malone and Mr. Warren C. Smith resigned as directors from the board of directors of the Company (the "Board") effective March 7, 2024 and withdrew their names as nominees for election as directors of the Company. After giving effect to the withdrawal of Mr. Malone and Mr. Smith as nominees for directors, Radhika Ajmera, William J. Braithwaite, Pruksa Iamthongthong and Henny Muliany were nominated as directors for the ensuing year until the next annual meeting of shareholders, as described in the Circular. Mr. William Braithwaite, chairman of the Board, thanked Mr. Malone and Mr. Smith for their years of service and contribution to the Company and wished them well in all their future endeavors.
鑑於在2024年1月18日的管理信息通報（“通告”）中，有六名董事被提名當選董事，但公司還宣佈，在會議之前，P. Gerald Malone先生和Warren C. Smith先生辭去了公司董事會（“董事會”）的董事職務，並撤回了他們作爲公司董事候選人的姓名。如通告所述，在撤回馬龍先生和史密斯先生作爲董事候選人的決定後，拉迪卡·阿杰梅拉、威廉·佈雷斯韋特、Pruksa Iamthongthongthong和Henny Muliany被提名爲下一年度的董事，直至下一次年度股東大會。董事會主席威廉·佈雷斯韋特先生感謝馬龍先生和史密斯先生多年來爲公司提供的服務和貢獻，並祝願他們未來一切順利。
Having received a greater number of votes "withheld" from their election than votes "for", under the Company's Majority Voting Policy Ms. Iamthongthong and Ms. Muliany are required to tender their resignations. However, the Board determined, in accordance with the Majority Voting Policy, that it would not accept their resignations in order to ensure the Company's continued compliance with Singapore law. The Board expects that Ms. Iamthongthong and Ms. Muliany will continue as directors until the next annual general meeting of shareholders of the Company. The Board has the discretion to appoint a fifth director to the Board.
根據公司的多數投票政策，Iamthongthong女士和Muliany女士在當選中獲得的 “拒絕” 選票數量多於 “贊成” 票，因此必須提出辭呈。但是，根據多數投票政策，董事會決定不接受他們的辭職，以確保公司繼續遵守新加坡法律。董事會預計，Iamthongthong女士和Muliany女士將繼續擔任董事，直到公司下次年度股東大會。董事會有權酌情任命董事會的第五位董事。
