Axa Asia Pacific Holding’s (Axa APH) shareholders will be able to vote on a merger with AMP on March 2 at a special meeting in Melbourne.

There will be two resolutions put to the meeting, calling for support for the merger of Axa APH’s Australian and NZ operations with AMP, and the on-sale of the company’s Asian business to Paris-based Axa SA.

If shareholders approve the proposals, they will be told of their AMP share entitlement on March 16, and they will be able to trade them on a deferred basis until March 30.
