Mid Wynd International Investment Trust PLC
Proposed Share Split
The Board of Mid Wynd International Investment Trust PLC ('the Company') announces that it has today despatched to shareholders the Annual Report and Financial Statements for the year ended 30 June 2011.
The Annual Report and Financial Statements contains details of the Company's proposed five for one share sub-division (the 'share split'), which will reduce the nominal value of each ordinary share in issue from 25p to 5p. Existing shareholders will receive five new ordinary 5p shares for every ordinary 25p share held on the record date.
The Company's shares have been trading at a share price above £10 since early September 2010. To assist monthly savers and participants in the Dividend Reinvestment Plan, and in order to improve the liquidity in the Company's shares, the Board has therefore decided that a share split would be in the interests of shareholders.
Shareholders will be given the opportunity to consider and, if thought fit, approve the ordinary resolution required to effect this capital re-organisation at the Annual General Meeting of the Company to be held on Monday 10 October 2011.
The expected timetable for the share split is as follows:
Monday 10 October |
Annual General Meeting / Record Date |
Tuesday 11 October |
Commencement of dealing in new ordinary 5p shares |
Friday 21 October |
New share certificates despatched |
