Notice of reconvened General Meeting
Further to the announcements made on 24 February, 16 March and
19 March 2020, the Company's Board announces that it has today
published a Notice to reconvene the General Meeting of the Company
which was adjourned on 19 March 2020. The resolution to be voted on
at the reconvened meeting is as detailed in the Notice issued today
and also contained in the circular posted to shareholders on 24
February 2020 (the "Circular"), which sets out details of
recommended proposals for: (i) the modification of the Company's
investment objective and policy with a view to realising the
Company's assets in an orderly manner that achieves a balance
between returning cash to Shareholders promptly and maximising
value; and (ii) the amendment of the terms of the Investment
Management Agreement between the Company and the Manager in order
to reduce the management fee payable during the realisation process
(the "Proposals").
The General Meeting is to be held at 11.00 a.m. on 3 July
2020.
A copy of the Notice of General Meeting will be submitted
shortly to the National Storage Mechanism ("NSM") and will be
available for inspection at the NSM, which is situated at:
www.morningstar.co.uk/uk/nsm. This document will also shortly be
available on the Company's website at:
https://www.janushenderson.com/en-gb/investor/product/henderson-alternative-strategies-trust-plc/.
Copies of the Notice of General Meeting will be posted to
shareholders and will also be available from the Company's
correspondence address at 201 Bishopsgate, London, EC2M 3AE.
Any capitalised terms not defined in this announcement shall
have the same meaning as those defined in the Circular. Certain
extracts from the Circular are set out below. However, this
announcement does not contain all the information which is
contained in the Circular and Shareholders should read the Circular
and, in particular, the section headed "Risks associated with the
Proposals", to make an informed decision at the General Meeting.
The Circular is available at
https://www.janushenderson.com/en-gb/investor/product/henderson-alternative-strategies-trust-plc/
Directors
Whilst she is fully supportive of the Proposals, Mary-Anne
McIntyre has indicated that it is her continued intention to step
down from the Board with effect from the close of the General
Meeting. The Board wishes Mary-Anne its sincere best wishes and
thanks her for her invaluable contribution during her tenure on the
Board.
General Meeting
The Proposals are subject to Shareholder approval. A notice
reconvening the General Meeting of the Company, which was adjourned
on 19 March 2020, has been sent to shareholders and is available on
the Company's website at
https://www.janushenderson.com/en-gb/investor/product/henderson-alternative-strategies-trust-plc/.
At the reconvened General Meeting, an ordinary resolution will be
proposed to approve the change in investment policy.
The Board considers the well-being of Shareholders and attendees
as a top priority. In light of the current situation with the
coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic, the UK Government imposed
restrictions on travel, mass gatherings and social contact. Whilst
some of these restrictions have been relaxed, travelling on public
transport unnecessarily is not recommended and there are
restrictions on public gatherings and meetings. Accordingly, the
Directors regret that Shareholders will NOT be permitted to attend
the General Meeting in person and are advised to submit their votes
by proxy. The only attendees who will be permitted entry to the
meeting will be those who will need to be present to form the
quorum to allow the business to be conducted. The voting will be
conducted on a poll rather than a show of hands.
The Resolution requires a majority of those Shareholders voting
to vote in favour in order to be passed.
Shareholders are requested to complete and return the Form of
Proxy accompanying the Circular in accordance with the instructions
printed thereon, so as to be received as soon as possible, and in
any event no later than 11.00 a.m. on 1 July 2020.
Recommendation
The Board considers that the Proposals and the resolution to be
proposed at the General Meeting are in the best interests of the
Company and its Shareholders as a whole.
Accordingly, the Board unanimously recommends that Shareholders
vote in favour of the resolution to be proposed at the General
Meeting.
The Directors intend to vote in favour, or procure the vote in
favour, of the Resolution at the General Meeting in respect of
their beneficial holdings of Shares which, in aggregate, amount to
137,977 Shares representing approximately 0.36 per cent. of the
Company's issued Share capital (excluding Shares held in
treasury).
