Item 8.01 Other Events.
On January 8, 2009, Consolidated Water Co. Ltd. (the Company) held a shareholders meeting for the
purpose of obtaining shareholder approval to amend the Companys Articles of Association
(Articles) in order to permit the Companys Board of Directors to authorize a share buy-back
program in the future without shareholder approval. As presently constituted, the Companys
Articles prohibit the repurchase of any previously issued shares without shareholder approval.
Although votes representing 4,064,547 shares were received for the amendment and votes representing
only 2,935,052 shares were received against the amendment, the proposal was not adopted by the
shareholders because it was not approved by 75% of the shares voted at the meeting, as required
under the Companys Articles.
