At least six shareholders spoke in favour of the deal; only one spoke against at its annual meeting in Dunedin today.

Shareholders welcome the extra capital that Shanghai Maling will inject into the company; it will put $261 million in return for a 50% stake in the co-op.

Shareholders are expected to back the deal.
