FHT shareholders vote against scheme resolution for privatisation

Frasers Property (FPL) and the manager of FHT had announced their offer of 70 cents per FHT unit to FHT’s unitholders on June 13.

During the trust’s extraordinary general meeting (EGM) held on Sept 12, unitholders who were present at the EGM and held 74.88% of the units in FHT, voted for the arrangement. The percentage missed the 75.0% mark narrowly by just 0.12 percentage points.

In contrast, unitholders holding some 25.12% of units in FHT, voted against the arrangement.
