For the unsecured bond maturing in 2024 (OCY07 - ISIN NO 0010869720), a sufficient quorum was present and the bondholders approved the Issuer’s proposal.
With respect to the perpetual hybrid callable bond issue (OCY06 - ISIN NO 0010861594), the Issuer’s proposal did not achieve the sufficient majority of votes to be approved.
