Please replace the release dated May 14, 2019 with the following
corrected version due to multiple revisions.
The corrected release reads:
SAILINGSTONE CAPITAL RESPONDS TO RESULT OF TURQUOISE HILL SHAREHOLDER
VOTE
SAILINGSTONE CAPITAL PARTNERS notes the results of the Turquoise
Hill (TSX/NYSE: TRQ) AGM today in which no independent director received
support from more than 33% of the minority shareholders, and all four
received between 40-45% AGAINST despite the recommendations of the proxy
voting advisors. Based solely on minority votes cast, the independent
directors received between 54-61% AGAINST. This outcome shows that, in
fact, most minority shareholders DO NOT "understand and accept the
nature and the extent of Rio Tinto's (ASX/LSE:RIO) control over the
company and the composition of its board," as stated by Glass Lewis.
MacKenzie Davis, Managing Partner at SailingStone, said, "As we
highlighted in our most recent letter to shareholders and has been
confirmed by today's vote, it is clear that both owners and potential
investors are concerned about corporate governance practices at TRQ.
What is unclear is how the Board can fulfill their fiduciary duty to all
shareholders without addressing these apparent deficiencies. As patient,
long-term owners we remain open to engaging with the TRQ Board to
resolve these issues."
