WiseTech Global (ASX:WTC) received a "first strike" at its annual general meeting on Friday, with 49.5% of the votes cast against its remuneration report, according to a same-day Australian bourse filing.
At least 25% of a firm's shareholders are required to vote against its remuneration report to trigger a strike. At next year's annual general meeting, if 25% or more of its shareholders again vote against the report, the company will receive a second strike, and its shareholders are required to immediately vote on whether to hold a spill meeting to replace the board.
The company's shares rose 3% in recent trading on Friday.
