HENDERSON TR PACIFIC INVESTMENT TRUST PLC
AGM Statement and Portfolio Information
At the 20th Annual General Meeting of Henderson TR Pacific Investment Trust plc
held today in London, all resolutions put to shareholders were duly passed.
Since the start of the new financial year, the risks associated with the US
economy have continued to grow. We continue to believe that the most likely
scenario for the US is a moderation in activity and a period of gradual
adjustment following a number of years of strong growth led by the consumer.
Under this scenario, Asian economies should continue to do well and we would
expect there to be an orderly shift from export led to more domestically focused
growth.
Therefore, the Board believes that there will be significant opportunities to
invest in quality companies in the region and to be well placed to deliver
attractive returns to investors.
Notes:
1. Henderson TR Pacific Investment Trust is one of the largest investment
trusts, focusing on the Pacific Region stock markets, excluding Japan and
Australasia, but including India.
2. All resolutions proposed were duly passed.
3. The full text of all resolutions passed by shareholders can be found in the
Notice of Meeting contained in the Report and Accounts, copies of which are
available for viewing at the Document Disclosure Department of the Financial
Services Authority. These include a Special Resolution authorising the
Company to make market purchases of its own ordinary shares up to a maximum
of 14.99% (equivalent to 27,449,442 ordinary shares as at the date of the
notice, 2 March 2007) at a maximum price per share (exclusive of expenses)
not exceeding 105% of the average middle market quotations for five business
days preceding the date of purchase.
