Premier Asset Management Group PLC
("Premier" or the "Company")
Notice of Extraordinary General Meeting
in relation to Proposed Change of Name
Premier Asset Management Group PLC (AIM: PAM) announces that further to its most recent Extraordinary General Meeting ("EGM") held in connection with the recommended all-share merger of Premier and Miton on 9 October 2019, and receipt of regulatory consent from the FCA on 23 October 2019, the Scheme now only requires the sanction of the Court to become Effective.
Conditional upon the Scheme becoming Effective, it is therefore proposed that the Company name be changed from Premier Asset Management Group PLC to Premier Miton Group plc. Such name change, which was described in the Scheme Document, would occur immediately following the Scheme becoming Effective and immediately prior to the New Shares being admitted to trading on AIM.
The Directors therefore announce that an EGM in relation to the proposed change of name is to be held at 9:30 a.m. on 13 November 2019, at Premier's registered office at Eastgate Court, High Street, Guildford, Surrey GU1 3DE. An explanatory circular and a letter of Notice of Availability have been posted (in the case of shareholders of Premier who have elected to receive their communications by post) or emailed (in respect of shareholders of Premier who have elected to receive their communications electronically) to shareholders of Premier (the "Shareholder Circular"). A copy of the Shareholder Circular is also available from the website of Premier at www.premierfunds.co.uk/corporate.
Unless otherwise defined, all capitalised terms in this announcement shall have the meaning given to them in the Shareholder Circular.
