Palace Capital plc announced that shareholders approved a waiver under Rule 9 of the Takeover Code at a General Meeting, with 5,516,850 votes for and 3,285,514 votes against the resolution. This approval means the obligation for Lakestreet Capital Partners AG and its concert parties to make a mandatory cash offer for shares not already owned by them will be waived, even if the company proceeds with its share buy-back authority. The waiver has now taken effect, and the board anticipates delivering a positive outcome for all investors.
