What an exciting day it has been for the shareholders and management of Singapore Press Holdings (“SPH”). The results of the EGM has finally been announced. Goodbye to Media segment….what a historic moment indeed for SPH milestone! Despite seemingly fierce resistance put up by the minority retail investors asking that Media business be either sold to an interested party or to simply just shut down the media business [instead of paying S$80Mil in cash and other assets for transfer over to the newly formed Company Limited by Guarantee (CLG)], the objections turned out to be only pinpricks in the vast ocean. An overwhelming 97.6% of shareholders voted “Yes” for the first resolution to transfer the Media business out to the CLG while 97.5% voted “Yes” for the second resolution to adopt a new constitution for SPH.
