Update on arrangements for Annual General Meeting
TEMIT today provides an update on arrangements for shareholders at its Annual General Meeting ("AGM") on Thursday, 9 July 2020.
The UK Government has introduced measures to limit the spread of COVID-19 by prohibiting non-essential travel and public gatherings of more than two people. In light of these restrictions, and to protect the health of shareholders and attendees, the Board has decided, with regret, that shareholders will not be able to attend the AGM in person. The Board continues to regard the AGM as an important opportunity to engage with shareholders and has therefore made the following arrangements:
· Shareholders are encouraged to send questions to the Board in advance of the AGM to CompanySecretarialEdinburgh@franklintempleton.com and we aim to respond to any questions received by noon on 3 July 2020 and the responses will be published at https://www.temit.co.uk/investor/webinars/templeton-emerging-markets-investment-trust-agm on Thursday, 9 July 2020.
· Both private and institutional shareholders should vote in advance of the AGM and instruct the "Chairman of the Meeting" to vote on their behalf. Further details are set out in the Company's UK Voting Guide and NZ Voting Guide.
· The results of the resolutions will be announced on stock exchanges and published at https://www.temit.co.uk on Thursday, 9 July 2020.
· As shareholders will not be able to attend the AGM, a webinar presented by Chetan Sehgal, Lead Portfolio Manager and Andrew Ness, Portfolio Manager, will take place on Friday 26 June 2020, at 10.00AM. Analysts and investors wishing to access the event can do so by accessing the link below.
