Shonaid Jemmett-Page, Chairman of Origo, commented:
"The directors of Origo are delighted to report the outcome of the Meetings and the approval of the Proposals by the requisite majorities of the Company's ordinary and CZDP shareholders. This brings to an end a significant period of uncertainty and expense for the Company and its shareholders. With the resumption of trading of the Company's shares on AIM, the restructuring of the Company's share capital and the resolution of the disputes with Brooks Macdonald, Origo is in a significantly improved position to deliver its Investing Policy of divesting the Company's entire portfolio by November 2018."
