Revised Arrangements for the Annual General Meeting (AGM)

 

THIS ANNOUNCEMENT IS IMPORTANT AND REQUIRES YOUR IMMEDIATE ATTENTION

 

  • The AGM will be held as a closed meeting with only the minimum quorum of shareholders allowed
  • Immediately after the AGM, a webinar will be held giving the results of the AGM and featuring a presentation from the Investment Managers
  • Shareholders should vote in advance by proxy
  • Shareholders should consult the website for further information

 

When the Annual Report with the Notice of our AGM was published at the end of February, it had been hoped that it would be possible to hold a physical meeting at our chosen venue and meet again with shareholders, although it had begun to look unlikely at the time already.

 

Current Government advice

 

Whilst the "stay at home" rule has ended on 29 March, only outdoor meetings are currently allowed between six people or two households. It is not until 17 May at the earliest that indoors meetings may be allowed, although initially only groups of up to six will be permitted.

 

This means that a larger gathering at an AGM will not be lawful at the end of April and it will not bepossible for us to hold our AGM in the normal way. We fully support these measures to protect public health and safety.

 

Revised arrangements

 

The AGM of Mobius investment Trust plc will be held on 28 April 2021 at 12.00 noon as announced in the Notice of AGM. In line with the Company's Articles of Association, the AGM will again be convened with the minimum quorum of shareholders present in person in order to conduct the business of the meeting safely.

 

Immediately after the AGM, a webinar will be held during which the Chairman will give an overview of the voting outcome, followed by a presentation from the Portfolio Managers who will provide an update on performance, company engagement and developments in the Company's portfolio. 

 

Please sign-up under www.mobiusinvestmenttrust.com/agm to receive the dial-in details for the webinar.

 

Shareholders will be able to ask questions before and during the webinar. Any questions investors may have in advance of the meeting should be sent to the Company Secretary at info@frostrow.com or to trust@mobiuscapitalpartners.com

 

Voting by proxy and not in person

 

As physical attendance at the AGM will not be possible, shareholders should submit their votes by returning their proxy forms which accompanied the annual report and the 2021 AGM notice (or appoint a proxy electronically if their shares are held in CREST). Please appoint the Chairman of the meeting as your proxy for this purpose, as the attendance of other proxies at the AGM will not be allowed.

 

Please return your proxy forms as soon as possible and in any event prior to 12.00 noon on Monday 26 April 2021 or not less than 48 hours before the time of the meeting.  Please bear in mind that postal services might be slower than normal.

 

The Notice of AGM can be found at the back of the annual report and also on the Company's website: www.mobiusinvestmenttrust.com/agm
