Lloyd Fonds AG: Offer approved by only one of the eleven ship entities with the necessary 75% majority. Listed shipping company strategy to be continued
– Necessary 75% majority not reached by ten entities
– With voting high, more than 50% of the limited partners are in favor of the listed shipping company model
– Extraordinary shareholder meeting of Lloyd Fonds AG, at which a resolution approving the issue of new share capital was to be passed, has been postponed
– Lloyd Fonds continuing to realign itself as a listed shipping company with ships of its own
Hamburg, April 2, 2015. Over the last four weeks, around 18,000 limited partners of eleven ship entities voted on the offer to transfer the ships to Lloyd Fonds AG in return for the issue of shares. Although most of the subscribers are in favor of the model, the necessary 75% majority required to approve the proposal was reached by only one of the total of eleven ship entities. In view of this, Lloyd Fonds AG will initially not be holding the extraordinary shareholder meeting planned for April 16, 2015 at which a resolution was to be passed approving the combined cash/non-cash issue of new share capital.
The listed shipping company model had met with a favorable response in the shipping industry and also on the part of most of the ship entity subscribers. With participation levels generally high, more than 50% of the limited partners voted in favor of accepting the offer, thus expressing their confidence in Lloyd Fonds AG and its planned new orientation. The equities market was also impressed by the plans, with Lloyd Fonds stock achieving substantial gains on brisk trading activity. In the current environment characterized by high liquidity, very low interest rates and a lack of any alternatives, investors are showing strong interest in promising investments in alternative real assets. Consequently, Lloyd Fonds AG will be continuing to pursue its strategic goal of transforming into a listed shipping company.
It will be working on enhancing the listing shipping company model up until the annual general meeting in July as a basis for submitting a revised offer to some of the entities which had previously received the first offer as well as a number of other entities. In this connection, Lloyd Fonds will initially concentrate on container ships. In implementing the business case, it will be using the feedback received in intensive discussions with a large number of subscribers and taking account of current trends in the shipping and capital market.
