Farmers vote in favour of Fonterra’s Capital Return Scheme
Fonterra shareholders have today voted to pass the resolution to approve the scheme of arrangement for
the Co-operative’s return of approximately $800m of capital to shareholders (Scheme), with 99.24% of the
total shareholder votes cast in favour of the resolution.
Today’s result means that the Co-operative can now seek final Court orders to undertake the return of
capital. An indicative timetable of the key steps necessary to implement the Scheme is set out below:
Activity Date
Record Date 22 August 2023
Implementation Date 23 August 2023
Payment to shareholders By 29 August 2023
If the final Court orders have not been made by 3 August 2023, the Record Date will be five business days
after the date on which the final orders from the High Court sanctioning the Scheme are made
. The
Implementation Date will occur one business day later, with payment being made to shareholders within
five business days after the Record Date.
