Henderson International Income Trust plc
The Board of Henderson International Income Trust plc (the "Company" or "HINT") is pleased to announce that terms have been agreed in principle for HINT to be the default rollover option on the liquidation of The Establishment Investment Trust plc ("EIT").
The proposed transaction is to be effected by way of a tax efficient liquidation of EIT under section 110 of the Insolvency Act. A circular to shareholders of HINT convening a general meeting at which enabling resolutions will be put forward will be published in due course.
Simon Jeffreys, Chairman of the Company, commented:
"It has been our ongoing ambition to build on the successful performance of HINT by growing the Company through equity issuance. Since launch in 2011 we have grown the assets of the Company more than seven-fold by a combination of good investment performance, trust merger and the issue of shares from time to time to meet demand. We very much appreciate the opportunity to continue the growth of HINT by way of this proposed transaction and to welcoming new shareholders".
