ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING
Important update in relation to the Edinburgh Worldwide
Investment Trust plc's Annual General Meeting
Further to the Company's publication of its Annual Report and
Financial Statements, and the Notice of Annual General Meeting
therein, the Board has been considering the arrangements for the
upcoming Annual General Meeting of the Company (the 'AGM'). As a
consequence of the ongoing concerns regarding the spread of
Covid-19 and potential for ongoing restrictions on travel and
public gatherings, the Board, taking into account the health,
wellbeing and safety of shareholders, as well as the venue security
requirements, has resolved that, in accordance with the Articles of
Association (the 'Articles'), the Company's AGM will continue to be
held at 12 noon on 2 February 2022, but this will be without access
for shareholders. It should be noted that, in the light of these
current circumstances, it is not anticipated that the Directors or
representatives of Baillie Gifford (the 'Managers') will be present
in person either, other than persons capable of forming the minimum
quorum under the Company's Articles. The sole business of this
meeting will be to propose the resolutions set out in the Notice of
Annual General Meeting which can be found on pages 68 and 69 of the
Annual Report and Financial Statements for the year ended 31
October 2021.
As shareholders are unable to attend the AGM in person, in
accordance with the Articles, and as noted in the Notice of Annual
General Meeting, the Board encourages all shareholders, if they
have not already done so, to submit proxy voting forms as soon as
possible and, in any event, by no later than 12 noon on 31 January
2022, or in the case of holders of shares through the abrdn
Investment Trusts Share Plan, Individual Savings Account or
Investment Plan for Children to submit forms of direction, by no
later than 12 noon on 26 January 2022.
If you hold your shares through a platform, fund supermarket or
similar provider, please contact your provider as soon as possible
to register your voting instruction so that there is sufficient
lead time for your provider to process your vote before the formal
deadline noted above.
The Board continues to welcome questions from shareholders.
Please submit these to the Board by email to the following address
trustenquiries@bailliegifford.com , or call 0800 917 2112.
A short presentation from the portfolio managers will be made
available on the Company's website ( www.edinburghworldwide.co.uk )
, on or about the date of the AGM, and where the results of the AGM
business will also be posted following the conclusion of the
meeting.
