Shareholder revolt at South Africa’s biggest egg producer

A shareholder revolt at South Africa's biggest egg producer, Quantum, has resulted in the rejection of proposed remuneration increases for non-executive directors and the chairman. The dispute, which dates back to March 2025, saw shareholders overwhelmingly vote against the changes, forcing the board to revisit its remuneration strategy. The outcome leaves Quantum with little room for maneuver, highlighting the growing power of shareholders in shaping the company's compensation packages.
