Further to the Annual General Meeting Notice dated 18 April 2017 (the “Notice”) and sent to members of the Company on 21 April 2017; the Annual General Meeting was held today and members voted in favour of Resolutions 1 to 9.
Helen Green, the Chairman, commented as follows: “The Board is very pleased that members have voted in favour of all the resolutions; by renewing the necessary authorities to buy back shares the Board will continue to monitor the pricing discount comparable to the respective investment company sectors and the level to which a buyback would be price enhancing and in the best interest of the Company’s members. The Board considers continued marketing and promotion of the Company to be an important factor in maintaining a healthy secondary market and a relatively narrow discount.”
