Publication of circular and notice of general meeting
The Board is pleased to announce that a circular and notice of
general meeting is today being posted to shareholders regarding the
following items:
Name Change
Under the Company's Articles of Association, a change in the
Company's name may be effected by ordinary resolution of the
Company's Shareholders.
The Board believes that it is in the best interests of
Shareholders that the Company be renamed Brown Advisory US Smaller
Companies PLC, both to reflect the identity of its new portfolio
manager and to assist in marketing the Company under its new
management.
Investment Policy
The circular sets out the Company's investment objective and
investment policy, following the changes made to reflect the
approach agreed with Brown Advisory when they took over as the
Company's portfolio manager on 1 April 2021. While the Company's
investment objective has not changed and its previous investment
policy was broadly aligned with Brown Advisory's investment
approach, certain phraseology in the investment policy has been
amended for consistency with how Brown Advisory describes its US
Small-Cap Growth strategy. Despite the change in wording there is a
consistency in the key investment themes (e.g. taking a long term
view on the investible universe, seeking capital appreciation,
investing in companies where management and shareholder interests
are aligned, and buying companies at attractive valuations).
Following advice prior to the adoption of the amended investment
policy, the Company is of the opinion that the amendments do not
amount to material changes for the purposes of the Listing Rules,
and therefore do not require prior FCA and Shareholder
approval.
Nonetheless, for the purposes of transparency and good
governance, the Company has notified the FCA of the amendments and
the Company proposes to put a resolution before Shareholders at the
General Meeting seeking confirmation of the adoption of the amended
investment policy.
General Meeting
The General Meeting will be held at 12:30 p.m. on 6 May 2021 at
52-54 Gracechurch Street, London, EC3V 0EH but will follow the
minimum legal requirements for a general meeting.
A copy of the circular and notice of general meeting will be
available shortly on the Company's website at
https://www.brownadvisory.com/intl/investment-trusts/jupiter-us-smaller-companies-plc
The circular and notice of general meeting will also be uploaded
to the national storage mechanism and will be available for
inspection at
