IMAX's China Move Hits A Snag: Acquisition Proposal Fails To Pass Vote
Portfolio Pulse from Shivani Kumaresan
IMAX Corporation's proposal to acquire the outstanding 96.3 million shares of IMAX China has failed to pass a vote by IMAX China shareholders. Despite 70% of the shares voted being in favor, the votes against the transaction exceeded the 10% threshold required by Hong Kong law to defeat a privatization transaction. IMAX Corporation will now explore other means of creating shareholder value, such as share repurchases.
