Shareholders have rejected resolutions to appoint new candidates to QT Vascular’s board at the EGM on Dec 6.
Last month, the company received an EGM requisition by two shareholders, Mission Well and Tansri Saridju Benui, to oust the existing board and replace them with their own candidates. CEO Eitan Konstantino left the company on Nov 30.
An EGM was requisitioned to be held on Dec 6 to appoint Tansri Saridju Benui; Christian Kwok-Leun Yau Heilesen; Stanley Leung Yu Tung; Zhou Jia Lin and Chay Yiowmin as directors of QT Vascular.
A separate requisition notice for another EGM on Dec 15 calls for the removal of three existing directors: Momi Mimon Brosh; Sho Kian Hin and Ng Boon Eng.

The company says it has been in consultation with its professional advisers to determine the validity of this attempt to convene another EGM.
