The Court appointed a Chairman for the meetings and specified the remuneration and expenses to be borne by the applicant company. Provisions for voting by proxy, determination of shareholder value, quorum requirements, and reporting of meeting results were outlined. The Chairman was directed to report the meeting outcomes to the Court within a specified timeframe. The Court disposed of the application with the aforementioned directions, ensuring a structured and transparent process for the scheme of arrangement approval.
