The Hibernian Supporters Ltd has announced its intention to block a proposed deal that could dilute their shares in the club. In a lengthy statement, the organization revealed plans to conduct a poll among its 4000-plus members and respect the majority decision when the vote takes place.

The statement begins by providing context to the voting process that occurred at the Hibernian Supporters AGM on Thursday, February 22nd. It acknowledges the speculation surrounding investment proposals at the football club and the need to prepare for various scenarios.

Upon receiving notice of proposed resolutions for the club’s AGM on February 2nd, the organization acted swiftly to ensure members could share their views and provide instructions on how to vote.
