JAKARTA - The Extraordinary General Meeting of Shareholders (EGMS) of PT Vale Indonesia (INCO) approved the right issue and the determination of shareholders after the divestment was completed.

Quoted from the information disclosure of the Indonesia Stock Exchange, INCO management announced that shareholders have approved the company's plan to increase the company's capital by granting Pre-emptive Rights (PMHMETD) to shareholders through a limited public offering mechanism or as many as 603,443,814 new ordinary shares with a nominal value of IDR 25 per share.

The LB GMS also approved to affirm, determine, and rearrange the composition of the company's shareholders after the completion of the takeover transaction (including PMHMETD) in accordance with the share ownership data based on the list of available company shareholders after the completion of the takeover transaction.
