Below is information relevant to Fairfax shareholders involved in the merger agreement of Nine Entertainment Co. Holdings Limited (NEC) and Fairfax Media Limited (FXJ). Vero SIA is subject to approval by the NZ Commerce Commission. Tower expects the approval date for the decision to be extended from June 30, 2017 to July 2017. Other customary conditions apply, including authorizations from Reserve Bank New Zealand (RBNZ), Pacific Island regulators and Tower shareholders. The Commission notes that shareholders are not currently required to take action in response to La Vero SIA. When the time comes, Tower shareholders will receive detailed documents on the proposed regulatory transaction and voting instructions. That`s when the tower managers will make a recommendation. To be approved by shareholders, the Vero system requires that at least 75% of the votes be cast and that these votes represent more than 50% of the company`s total voting rights.
