Information in relation to the Annual General Meeting

Annual General Meeting Arrangements

It remains the intention that the Company's Annual General Meeting (AGM) will be held on 25 June 2020 at 4.30pm in accordance with the Notice of Meeting included within the Annual Report. The Board takes the safety and wellbeing of shareholders very seriously and, in light of the current Covid-19 guidance from the UK and Scottish Governments as well as the venue security requirements, unfortunately shareholders will not be permitted to attend in person. 

Voting and Shareholder Questions

If shareholders have not done so already, they are strongly encouraged to register their votes in advance of the AGM by submitting proxy forms to the Company's registrar, Computershare Investor Services PLC, by 4.30pm on 23 June 2020, appointing the Chair of the Meeting as their proxy. The results of the AGM business will be posted  on the website .

If you hold your shares through a platform, fund supermarket or similar provider, please contact your provider as soon as possible to register your voting instruction so that there is sufficient lead time for your provider to process your vote before the formal deadline noted above.

Please direct any questions or comments for the Board or Managers in advance of the AGM through the Company's Managers, Baillie Gifford, using the following email address or telephone number:

Email: [e-mail]  

Telephone: [phone]

Alternatively, you may also get in touch via either of the Joint Corporate Brokers, Jefferies and Numis Securities. Contact details for these firms are included in the Annual Report and are also available on their respective websites.

Managers' Presentations

Films of the reports on the portfolio from the two portfolio managers, James Anderson and Tom Slater, will also subsequently be available on the website . There are also further opportunities for shareholders to engage with Scottish Mortgage throughout the year. The primary means is through the Company's Managers, Baillie Gifford, who hold multiple shareholder meetings and events around the country throughout the year (circumstances permitting), as well as providing a wealth of information and 'Insight' pieces on the portfolio on the  website . Now more than ever these digital resources allow shareholders to stay well informed, by hearing directly from those managing their money. The Managers have arranged digital alternatives for the Scottish Mortgage events that have had to be postponed or cancelled. Details are available on the website . It is hoped that the Managers will be able to proceed with the various Scottish Mortgage Forums planned for later in the year.  If such events can take place, Board members will look to attend a number of these to provide opportunities for face to face engagement with shareholders.
