(NASDAQ Global Select Market: “CWCO”) today announced plans to hold a meeting of the shareholders of the Company on January 8, 2009 in Grand Cayman for the purpose of seeking shareholder approval to amend the Company’s Articles of Association in order to permit its board of directors to authorize a share buy-back program at some time in the future.
