Transat A.T. Inc. shareholders have voted to keep the status quo at the company’s

board of directors , approving proposals put forward by outgoing board members, including for all of its nominees.

Voters defeated proposals put forward by the airline’s largest shareholder , Pierre Karl Péladeau‘s Financière Outremont Inc., including reducing the number of board members.
