European Assets AGM 2022

I am pleased to report that we intend to revert to normal practices for the 2022 Annual General Meeting (“AGM”). The AGM will be held on Tuesday 17 May 2022 at 3.00pm at Exchange House, Primrose Street, London, EC2A 2NY, being the London offices of the Manager. The meeting will include a presentation on the Company and its investment portfolio from Sam Cosh and Lucy Morris.

However, as the situation with regards to the COVID-19 pandemic remains uncertain, if circumstances change on or prior to 17 May 2022 so that laws, regulations or Government guidance no longer permit physical Shareholders’ attendance, or if the Board should otherwise determine Shareholders’ attendance at an open meeting to be contrary to the safety and wellbeing of Shareholders, alterations may be required to be made to the AGM format. In these circumstances, the Company will communicate to Shareholders any changes to arrangements by a London Stock Exchange announcement and through updates to the Company’s website: www.europeanassets.co.uk.

The Board strongly advises all Shareholders to consider their personal circumstances before deciding whether or not to attend the AGM in person. Any Shareholders who choose not to attend can submit questions regarding the resolutions proposed at the AGM, or the performance of the Company, to the dedicated email account: europeanassetsagm@bmogam.com. Questions should be submitted not later than Tuesday 10 May 2022. The Board will endeavour to ensure that questions received by such date are addressed at the meeting. In addition, so all Shareholders have an opportunity to view the AGM, the meeting will be recorded and will be available to view shortly thereafter on the Company’s website as detailed above.

To ensure that each Shareholder’s votes will count in the event that they cannot attend in person, or that Shareholder attendance has been restricted due to health and safety concerns, the Board would encourage all Shareholders to complete and submit their Form of Proxy or Form of Direction in advance of the AGM, in accordance with the requirements contained in the AGM notice set out on pages 73 to 77 of the Report and Accounts. Further, should the AGM be restricted, Shareholders are strongly encouraged to appoint the Chairman of the AGM as their proxy as any other person so appointed may not be admitted to the AGM, resulting in that Shareholder’s vote not being counted.
