On Friday, 30th October 2009, the extraordinary general meeting of the shareholders of ORCO Germany S.A. unanimously approved a resolution to continue the company’s operating activities.
With a vote of 98,4%, shareholders additionally adopted a term sheet outlining the conversion of a shareholder loan by Orco Property Group into shares of ORCO Germany S.A. in order to strengthen the company’s equity base. This eliminates liabilities totalling roughly EUR 17.6 million, plus future interest payments, for ORCO Germany. Furthermore, shareholders holding at least 10 percent of all issued shares were given the right to propose candidates for election to the Board of Directors. ORCO Germany's articles of association were amended accordingly.
