Item 8.01 Other Events.
On January 8, 2009, Consolidated Water Co. Ltd. (the “Company”) held a shareholders meeting for the purpose of obtaining shareholder approval to amend the Company’s Articles of Association (“Articles”) in order to permit the Company’s Board of Directors to authorize a share buy-back program in the future without shareholder approval. As presently constituted, the Company’s Articles prohibit the repurchase of any previously issued shares without shareholder approval.
Although votes representing 4,064,547 shares were received for the amendment and votes representing only 2,935,052 shares were received against the amendment, the proposal was not adopted by the shareholders because it was not approved by 75% of the shares voted at the meeting, as required under the Company’s Articles.
