Coca-Cola Amatil shareholders voted strongly in favour of a $9.8 billion offer from Coca-Cola European Partners - but not before one investor raised concerns about the loss of yet another Australian company to offshore interests.
After a virtual meeting on Friday, Amatil said 99.0 per cent of votes cast and 81.55 per cent of shareholders who voted were in favour of Coke Europeâs $13.50-a-share offer to independent shareholders.
The scheme of arrangement required approval from 75 per cent of shares voted and 50 per cent of shareholders.
