AGL Energy scrapped its demerger plan on May 30 after facing strong opposition from its largest shareholder–tech billionaire Mike Cannon-Brookes.

In its latest statement, the company said that it was unlikely for the demerger proposal to get the necessary support from three-quarters of the shareholders for the proposition at the June 15 shareholder meeting.
