Alliance Group chief executive steps down
Alliance Group chief executive Willie Wiese is leaving the company after three years in the role.
Alliance is urging its farmer-shareholders to have their say on the proposed $250 million strategic investment partnership with Dawn Meats Group.
Alliance chair Mark Wynne says the vote is a "significant decision" for Alliance and its farmer-shareholders.
"If farmers haven't voted yet, now is the time to do so," Wynne says.
"So far, more than 45% of issued shares have voted. That represents more than 1,300 of our shareholders," he adds. "Every vote counts."
For the proposal to be approved by farmer-shareholders, more than 50% of all shares on issue (over 53 million votes) must be a ‘Yes’ and at least 75% of participating shares must vote in favour of the proposal.
