If a proxy appointment is submitted without indicating how the proxy should vote on any resolution, the proxy will have discretion as to whether and, if so, how they vote.
Members may also appoint a proxy online at www.investorcentre. co.uk/eproxy (more details can be found in the Form of Proxy) or, for members of CREST, through CREST electronic proxy appointment service (as described in note 12 below) or via the Proxymity platform (as described in note 13 below).
Please note the following:
(a) In order for a proxy appointment or instruction made using the CREST service to be valid, the appropriate CREST message (a "CREST Proxy Instruction") must be properly authenticated in accordance with Euroclear UK & International Limited's specifications and must contain the information required for such instructions, as described in the CREST Manual. The message, regardless of whether it constitutes the appointment of a proxy or is an amendment to the instruction given to a previously appointed proxy, must, in order to be valid, be transmitted so as to be received by the issuer's agent ID 3RA50 by the latest time(s) for receipt of proxy appointments specified in this Notice. For this purpose, the time of receipt will be taken to be the time (as determined by the timestamp applied to the message by the CREST Application Host) from which the issuer's agent is able to retrieve the message by enquiry to CREST in the manner prescribed by CREST.
After this time any change of instructions to proxies appointed through CREST should be communicated to the appointee through other means.
The notes on the following pages give an explanation of the proposed resolutions.
Resolutions 1 to 13 (inclusive) are proposed as ordinary resolutions. This means that for each of those resolutions to be passed, more than half of the votes cast must be in favour of the resolution.
Resolutions 14 to 17 (inclusive) are proposed as special resolutions. This means that for each of those resolutions to be passed, at least three-quarters of the votes cast must be in favour of the resolution.
This resolution is to receive and adopt the accounts for the financial year ended 31 December 2024 and the associated reports of the Directors and Auditor.
This resolution is to approve the Directors' Remuneration Report (other than the part containing the Directors' Remuneration Policy) for the financial year ended 31 December 2024. You can find this report on pages 111 to 113 of the Company's Annual Report and Accounts for the financial year ended 31 December 2024. As this vote is an advisory vote, no entitlement of a Director to remuneration is conditional on it. This resolution is required to be put to a vote annually under Section 420(1) of the Companies Act 2006.
Resolution 3 is to approve the election of Kirsty Wilman as Director of the Company. Resolutions 4 to 9 (inclusive) are to approve the re-election of Aubrey Adams, Elizabeth Brown, Wu Gang, Alastair Hughes, Richard Laing and Karen Whitworth as Directors of the Company.
In accordance with the Company's Articles of Association, Directors appointed by the Board are required to submit themselves for election at the first Annual General Meeting following their appointment. The Board recommends that Kirsty Wilman, who was appointed as a Director by the Board on 1 September 2024, is elected as a Director of the Company. All other Directors who are Directors at the date of this Notice shall retire from office at the Annual General Meeting and will be subject to re-election.
The Directors are committed to measures that promote good corporate governance. The Board is satisfied that each of the Directors standing for election and re-election continues to perform effectively and demonstrates commitment to their respective roles.
Short biographical details of each of the Directors standing for election and re-election are set out on pages 80 and 81 of the Company's Annual Report.
Resolution 10 proposes the re-appointment of BDO LLP as Auditor of the Company and Resolution 11 authorises the Directors to set the Auditor's remuneration.
The Company currently pays four dividends per annum and to date these have been declared as "interim" dividends. The alternative to this would be to declare three interim dividends with the final dividend being proposed as a "final" dividend.
A final dividend, however, would require Shareholder approval which would delay the payment. To avoid this potential delay, the Company has proposed a dividend policy, annually, that enables the Company to pay all of its dividends as "interim" dividends and for the last dividend not to be categorised as a "final" dividend that would ordinarily be subject to Shareholder approval.
Having regard to corporate governance best practice relating to the payment of interim dividends without the approval of a final dividend by a company's shareholders, the Directors have decided to seek express approval from Shareholders of its policy to pay four interim dividends per year. Should this resolution be approved, it will be valid until the conclusion of the Company's next Annual General Meeting in 2026, when it is intended that a similar resolution will be proposed.
It should be noted that the dividend policy is not a profit forecast and if dividends are declared by the Directors, they will only be paid to the extent permitted in accordance with the Companies Act 2006.
The Directors may allot shares and grant rights to subscribe for, or convert any security into, shares only if authorised to do so by Shareholders.
Accordingly, Resolution 13 will be proposed as an ordinary resolution to grant the Directors authority to allot shares and grant rights to subscribe for, or convert any security into, shares in the Company (a) up to a nominal value of £8,268,924 (826,892,400 Ordinary Shares), which is equivalent to approximately one-third of the total issued ordinary share capital of the Company as at Monday 31 March 2025 (being the latest practicable date prior to the publication of this Notice); and (b) in connection with a fully pre-emptive offer up to an aggregate nominal value of £16,537,849 (1,653,784,900 Ordinary Shares), which is (before any reduction) approximately two-thirds of the Company's issued share capital as at Monday 31 March 2025.
This is in line with corporate governance guidelines. The Directors have no present intention of using this authority. However, if they do exercise the authority, the Directors intend to take note of relevant corporate governance guidelines in the use of such powers.
As at Monday 31 March 2025 (being the latest practicable date prior to the publication of this Notice), the Company did not hold any shares in treasury.
If the resolution is passed, the authority will expire on the earlier of the conclusion of the next Annual General Meeting of the Company in 2026 or, if earlier, on the date falling 15 months after the passing of the resolution.
If the Directors wish to allot equity securities or sell treasury shares for cash, company law requires that these shares are first offered to existing Shareholders in proportion to their existing holdings.
There may be occasions, however, when the Directors will need the flexibility to finance investment opportunities identified by the Company's investment manager (in accordance with the Company's investment policy) by the issue of Ordinary Shares without a pre-emptive offer to existing Shareholders. The Directors require a power from Shareholders to do so.
Accordingly, Resolution 14 will be proposed as a special resolution to grant the Directors power to allot equity securities or sell treasury shares for cash and otherwise than to existing Shareholders pro rata to their holdings. Apart from offers or invitations in proportion to the respective number of shares held, the power will be limited to the allotment of equity securities and sales of treasury shares for cash up to an aggregate nominal value of £1,240,338 (which is equivalent to approximately 5% of the Company's issued ordinary share capital as at Monday 31 March 2025, being the latest practicable date prior to the publication of this Notice).
Resolution 14 also seeks a disapplication of the pre-emption rights on a rights issue or other fully pre-emptive issue so as to allow the Directors to make exclusions or such other arrangements as may be appropriate to resolve legal, regulatory or practical difficulties which, for example, might arise with overseas Shareholders.
The Directors seek further power under Resolution 15 to allot equity securities or sell treasury shares for cash and otherwise than to existing Shareholders pro rata to their holdings. Resolution 15 will be proposed as a special resolution. The power will be limited to the allotment of equity securities and sales of treasury shares for cash up to an aggregate nominal value of £1,240,338 (which is equivalent to approximately 5% of the Company's issued ordinary share capital as at Monday 31 March 2025) in connection with the financing (or refinancing, if the power is to be used within twelve months after the original transaction) of a transaction which the Directors determine to be an acquisition or other capital investment of a kind contemplated by the Statement of Principles. This is in addition to the 5% referred to in Resolution 14.
The Company undertakes that Ordinary Shares will only be issued pursuant to these authorities at a premium to the prevailing Net Asset Value at the time of issue, unless specifically approved by Shareholders in a general meeting.
Resolutions 14 and 15 have been separated in accordance with the guidance issued by the Pre-Emption Group.
If given, the powers contained in Resolutions 14 and 15 will each expire at the conclusion of the next Annual General Meeting of the Company in 2026 or, if earlier, on the date falling 15 months after the passing of the resolutions.
The figure of up to 5% reflects the Pre-Emption Group's Statement of Principles (as updated in March 2015). The Directors are aware of the Pre-Emption Group's most recent Statement of Principles on Disapplying Pre-emption Rights published in November 2022 (the "2022 Statement of Principles"). However, at this time, the Directors consider it appropriate to retain the previous limits of 5% of the issued ordinary share capital of the Company in Resolutions 14 and 15 and have not adopted the increased limits. The Directors will keep emerging market practice under review.
The Directors confirm that they will follow the shareholder protections in paragraph one of Part 2B of the 2022 Statement of Principles.
In certain circumstances, it may be advantageous for the Company to purchase its own shares and Resolution 16 seeks the authority from Shareholders to continue to do so. Resolution 16 will be proposed as a special resolution. The Directors will exercise this authority at their absolute discretion only when, in the light of market conditions prevailing at the time, they believe that the effect of such purchases will be to increase earnings per share and will be in the best interests of the Company and Shareholders generally.
The Directors have not exercised the authority to purchase own shares approved at the Company's 2024 Annual General Meeting in the last twelve months. Furthermore, the Directors currently have no intention of exercising this authority but will keep the matter under review, taking into account factors including (without limitation) market conditions, the financial resources of the Company, the Company's share price, appropriate gearing levels, other investment opportunities and the overall position of the Company.
Any shares purchased in this way may either be cancelled (and the number of shares in issue will be reduced accordingly) or, in accordance with the Companies Act 2006, retained as treasury shares.
This would give the Company the ability to re-issue treasury shares quickly and cost-effectively and provides the Company with greater flexibility in the management of its capital base.
Once held in treasury, the Company is not entitled to exercise any rights, including the right to attend and vote at meetings, in respect of the shares. Further, no dividend or other distribution of the Company's assets may be made to the Company in respect of the treasury shares.
The resolution specifies the maximum number of Ordinary Shares that may be acquired (approximately 10% of the Company's issued ordinary share capital as at Monday 31 March 2025, being the latest practicable date prior to the publication of this Notice) and the maximum and minimum prices at which they may be bought.
There are no warrants or options to subscribe for Ordinary Shares outstanding as at Monday 31 March 2025.
If given, this authority will expire at the conclusion of the next Annual General Meeting of the Company in 2026 or, if earlier, on the date falling 15 months after the passing of the resolution.
The Companies Act 2006 requires the Company to give at least 21 clear days' notice for a general meeting of the Company (other than Annual General Meetings) unless the Company:
Resolution 17 seeks such approval and will be proposed as a special resolution. The minimum notice period for Annual General Meetings remains at least 21 clear days' notice. This authority would provide the Company with flexibility where action needs to be taken quickly. It is intended that this shorter notice period would not be used as a matter of routine but only where the flexibility is merited by the business of the meeting and is thought to be in the interests of Shareholders as a whole.
Should this resolution be approved, it will be valid until the conclusion of the Company's next Annual General Meeting in 2026, when it is intended that a similar resolution will be proposed.
