All the  resolutions listed in the 2010 Annual Report were approved by the AGM.  The BEE transactions were approved at the general meeting by an  overwhelming majority of 99.8% of the 85% of shareholders who voted. The  transactions, which are still subject to a number of other suspensive  conditions, will enable Gold Fields to meet its 2014 BEE ownership  commitments and should be completed before the end of 2010. Gold  Fields new chair, Dr Mamphela Ramphele, who took over the role from Alan  Wright at the conclusion of today&#8217;s AGM, said in her remarks that the  BEE deals approved today &#8220;set a benchmark for the nature and structuring  of empowerment transactions. &#8220;With the approval of these  transactions, the shareholders of Gold Fields have ensured that South  African employees of Gold Fields will also be shareholders of this  company. This is now their company and the future of Gold Fields is  their future, not only as employees, but also as co-owners,&#8221; Dr Ramphele  said. <a href=\"http:\/\/www.goldfields.co.za\/news_article.php?articleID=722\" target=\"_blank\">More&#8230;<\/a><\/p>\n<p>News selected by Covalence | Country: South Africa |  Company: Gold Fields | Source: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.goldfields.co.za\/news_article.php?articleID=722\" target=\"_blank\">Gold Fields<br \/>\n<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Gold Fields Limited (Gold Fields) (JSE, NYSE, NASDAQ Dubai: GFI) today held its AGM and a subsequent general meeting to vote on the black economic empowerment transactions, detailed in a statement on 5 August 2010.
