Dear Shareholder
The Annual General Meeting
Further to the Company's previous announcement on 20 March 2020
and following the "Stay at Home" guidance received from the
Government, the current restrictions on travel and public
gatherings of more than two persons and the recommend practice of
self-isolation, the Board has been carefully considering the
arrangements for the upcoming annual general meeting of the Company
(the "AGM") in conjunction with the health, wellbeing and safety of
shareholders. The Board has therefore resolved that, in accordance
with the articles of association (the "Articles'), the Company's
postponed AGM will be held at 11.00a.m. on 9 April 2020 at Linplum
House, Haddington, East Lothian. The sole business of this meeting
will be to propose the resolutions (with the exception of
resolution 4) set out in the Notice of the Meeting which can be
found on pages 47 to 50 of the Annual Report and Financial
Statements for the year ended 30 November 2019.
As you will be aware, the Company has already paid a final
interim dividend and a special interim dividend of 10p per ordinary
share, in aggregate. In the light of these dividends being already
paid to shareholders as interim dividends, there is no requirement
for any such shareholder approval in relation to a final dividend
payment at the AGM (set out at resolution 4 in the Notice of the
Meeting) and, as a result, the Chairman will seek the consent of
the meeting to withdraw such resolution.
As we do not expect shareholders to attend the AGM in person, in
accordance with the Articles, all proxy forms that have been
validly delivered will be counted for the purposes of this
postponed AGM.
The Board continues to welcome questions from shareholders at
the AGM and please submit any questions to the Board by email, to
the following address steven.hay2@bailliegifford.com before 10.00
a.m. on 9 April 2020.
The Board would like to assure Shareholders that the Investment
Manager, the Board and the other service providers working on
Shareholders' behalf continue to manage the affairs of the Company
as efficiently and effectively as possible and we are hoping that
we can arrange a more informal meeting in due course at which we
will have our usual presentations.
Yours faithfully
Douglas McDougall
Chairman
