Publication of a circular
In order to meet the continuing demand for shares in Baillie
Gifford China Growth Trust plc (the "Company"), the Board of
Directors of the Company (the "Board") is seeking shareholder
approval to renew the authorities to allot shares in the capital of
the Company and to disapply the statutory pre-emption rights on the
issue of those shares.
Accordingly, the Company has today issued a circular convening a
general meeting (the "General Meeting") to be held at 1.00 p.m. on
18 March 2021 at the offices of Baillie Gifford & Co, Calton
Square, 1 Greenside Row, Edinburgh EH1 3AN.
At the General Meeting, three resolutions will be put to
shareholders. An ordinary resolution will be proposed to give the
Board authority to allot up to 20 per cent. of the aggregate
nominal value of the issued share capital of the Company as at 24
February 2021. Two special resolutions will also be proposed, each
to give the Board authority to disapply rights of pre-emption in
respect of the issue of up to 10 per cent. of the aggregate nominal
value of the issued share capital of the Company as at 24 February
2021. The Board believes that the authorities sought at the General
Meeting will allow it to satisfy the continuing demand for shares
in the period from the General Meeting to the Company's next annual
general meeting.
The authorities conferred by the resolutions to be proposed at
the General Meeting will lapse at the conclusion of the next annual
general meeting of the Company.
A copy of the circular will shortly be available for inspection
on the Company's website at
https://www.bailliegifford.com/en/uk/individual-investors/funds/baillie-gifford-china-growth-trust
and at the National Storage Mechanism which is located at
