Posting of circular convening a general meeting
In order to meet the continuing demand for shares in Pacific Horizon Investment Trust PLC (the "Company"), the Board of Directors of the Company (the "Board") is seeking shareholder approval to renew the authorities to allot shares and disapply the statutory pre-emption rights on the issue of such shares in the capital of the Company.
Accordingly, the Company has today issued a circular convening a general meeting (the "General Meeting") to be held at 11.00 a.m. on 30 July 2018 at the offices of Baillie Gifford & Co, Calton Square, 1 Greenside Row, Edinburgh EH1 3AN.
At the General Meeting, the resolutions to allot shares and disapply the statutory pre-emption rights in relation to such shares up to an aggregate nominal value of £573,522.80 (amounting to up to 5,735,228 shares) representing approximately 10 per cent. of the Company's issued share capital as at 4 July 2018 (the "Resolutions") will be put to shareholders. The authorities conferred by the Resolutions will lapse at the conclusion of the next annual general meeting of the Company which is anticipated to be held in November 2018.
The Board believes that the authority sought at the General Meeting will allow them to satisfy the expected demand for shares in the period from the General Meeting to the Company's next annual general meeting.
A copy of the circular is available for inspection on the Company's website at www.pacifichorizon.co.uk.
A copy of the circular will also be submitted to the National Storage Mechanism and will be available for inspection at www.morningstar.co.uk/uk/NSM.
