(Reuters) – A shareholder proposal calling for Twenty-First Century Fox Inc <FOXA.O> to do away with its dual-class share structure was rejected on Wednesday, based on preliminary results announced at the media company’s annual meeting.

Shareholders also voted to re-elect Fox’s board of directors, preliminary results indicated, a sign that investors continue to support founder Rupert Murdoch and his family, who effectively control the company.
