EP GLOBAL OPPORTUNITIES TRUST PLC (the
"Company")
Following today's announcement by Franklin Resources, Inc. in
relation to its acquisition of Edinburgh Partners Limited
("EPL"), the board of directors of the Company (the
"Board") has made an adjustment to the carrying value of its
shareholding in EPL which will be reflected in the Company's net
asset value calculated as at close of business today and announced
tomorrow. The Board does not consider the adjustment to the
carrying value of its shareholding in EPL to be material to the
Company's net asset value.
The acquisition of EPL by Franklin Resources, Inc. is subject to
certain customary conditions, including the approval of the
Financial Conduct Authority in the United
Kingdom, and the consideration payable for the Company's
shareholding in EPL is subject to certain post completion
adjustments. The Board has taken each of these factors into
account in determining the appropriate adjustment to the carrying
value of its EPL shareholding and, as a result, may further adjust
the carrying value of its shareholding in EPL prior to completion
of the acquisition.
