• North Atlantic Smaller Companies (NAS) has announced that an amendment has been made to its final results announcement that was released on 10 May 2024. Specifically, Christopher Mills holding in NAS was wrongly stated in the Directors’ Interests table on page 35 of the Annual Report. The correct holding is 3,817,424 shares. All other details remain unchanged.
• The manager of US Solar Fund (USF), Amber Infrastructure Group is to merge with Boyd Watterson Asset Management, a real estate and fixed income investment manager in the United States, through a strategic transaction, to create a leading global alternatives investment platform with assets under management of approximately $35bn. The transaction remains subject to Financial Conduct Authority and other regulatory approvals.
