Hong Kong: Hutchison Whampoa shareholders in favor merger plan

Shareholders of Hutchison Whampoa on Monday voted in favour of the mega reorganisation proposed for the company and its parent CK Hutchison Holdings, bringing chairman Li Ka-shing’s restructuring plan for his business empire near to completion.

Hutchison said more than 99 per cent of votes from shareholders at a general meeting had been in favor of the merger plan.

“The two stocks escaped the market correction,” he said. “They could come under downward pressure … there’s not much excitement to further drive up the shares.”
