Report
Note:
1. As at the date of the AGM, the total issued shares of Oceana was 130 431 804 (including
treasury shares).
2. At the AGM, the number of shares represented in person and / or by proxy equated to
90.92% of the total issued shares.
3. A vote "abstained" is, in accordance with the MOI, not counted in the calculation of the
votes (either "for" or "against” a resolution) and was deemed not to have been exercised
in respect of the relevant resolutions.
2. EXTERNAL AUDITOR
The Oceana Board acknowledges the strained relationship with the external auditors.
Notwithstanding same, the Board opted to give shareholders the opportunity to vote on
the re-appointment of the external auditors.
The Board and the Audit Committee believe that ensuring a strong and effective external
audit, supported by corporate governance and compliance of the highest standard, is
fundamental. This is particularly important given the current SA and global environment
of significant audit and corporate failures.
Given the number of votes exercised against Ordinary Resolution number 2, the Board
and Audit Committee will consult with shareholders regarding the external auditor. Our
consideration of the vote and consultation with shareholders will aim to achieve an
outcome that is in the best interests of the Group and achieves the highest standards of
corporate governance.
Further announcements will be made in this regard if necessary.
