Publication of Circular
Since 2016, Seneca Global Income & Growth Trust plc (the "Company") has successfully operated a discount control mechanism (the "DCM"). Given the recent level of buy backs pursuant to the DCM and the current uncertain markets, as a precaution, the Board is seeking early renewal of its authority to buy back ordinary shares.
Accordingly, the Company has today published a circular convening a general meeting to be held at 10.00 a.m. on 22 December 2020 at the offices of PATAC Limited, 28 Walker Street, Edinburgh EH3 7HR (the "General Meeting").
At the General Meeting a special resolution will be proposed to give the Board authority to buy back up to a maximum of 5,856,645 ordinary shares which represents approximately 14.99 per cent. of the issued share capital of the Company .
As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic and the related Government guidance, attendance at the General Meeting may not be possible. In line with Government guidance, shareholders are strongly discouraged from attending the meeting. Shareholders should submit their proxy appointment as soon as possible to ensure that their vote is counted.
A copy of the circular will shortly be available for inspection on the Company's website at https://senecaim.com/private-investors/investment-trust/ and at the National Storage Mechanism which is located at https://data.fca.org.uk/#/nsm/nationalstoragemechanism .
