In QuotedData’s morning briefing 4 July 2022:
- ScotGems (SGEM) has decided to put forward formal proposals to shareholders for a members’ voluntary liquidation of the company. Such proposals, if approved, would provide all shareholders with a full cash exit less costs. This comes after the company received notice to terminate its AIFM from First Sentier Investors (UK) Funds Limited. Ahead of the liquidation, the board intends to instruct its investment manager to realise the company’s investment portfolio in an orderly manner. The exact timing will depend on market conditions. The board will then convene a general meeting at which a special resolution to approve the members’ voluntary liquidation will be proposed.
