Hearts to hold Annual General Meeting

Hearts will hold their first Annual General Meeting for shareholders on Tuesday since the club went to the Stock Exchange.

The capital-based made history by becoming the first Ghanaian side to float shares to the general public.

The meeting, the first of its kind since the flotation was concluded, is opened exclusively to the major shareholders of the club as they find ways to put the club back to the top of Ghana Football.

The meeting is expected to attract a host of top personalities including Ghana’s vice-president Paa Kwesi Amissah-Arthur, who is the fifth biggest shareholder in the club.

Board Chairman and Investment banker Togbe Afede, who doubles as the Chief Executive of Strategic African Securities (SAS) is the single majority shareholder in the club with nearly 40%.

Other members including Managing Director of Stanbic Bank, Alhasan Adani, CEO Fred Crenstil and mining magnate David Lamptey among other high profile persons will be present at the National Theatre.

The 19-time winners of the Ghana Premier League raked in over 2.5 million Ghana Cedis.
