Baillie Gifford will make a presentation and I look forward to meeting shareholders who are able to attend. The Board encourages all shareholders to exercise their votes on the AGM resolutions by completing and submitting a form of proxy.
Should the situation change and it not be possible to meet in person, further information will be made available through the Company’s website at bgeuropeangrowth.com and the London Stock Exchange regulatory news service. Should shareholders have questions for the Board or the Managers or any queries as to how to vote, they are welcome, as always, to submit them by email to trustenquiries@bailliegifford.com or call 0800 917 2112. Information on the resolutions can be found on pages 55 and 56 of the Annual Report and Financial Statements. The Directors consider that all resolutions to be put to shareholders are in their and the Company’s best interests as a whole and recommend that shareholders vote in favour.
