Information in relation to the Annual General Meeting
Annual General Meeting Arrangements
It remains the intention that the Company's Annual General
Meeting (AGM) will be held on 25 June 2020 at 4.30pm in accordance
with the Notice of Meeting included within the Annual Report. The
Board takes the safety and wellbeing of shareholders very seriously
and, in light of the current Covid-19 guidance from the UK and
Scottish Governments as well as the venue security requirements,
unfortunately shareholders will not be permitted to attend in
person.
Voting and Shareholder Questions
If shareholders have not done so already, they are strongly
encouraged to register their votes in advance of the AGM by
submitting proxy forms to the Company's registrar, Computershare
Investor Services PLC, by 4.30pm on 23 June 2020, appointing the
Chair of the Meeting as their proxy. The results of the AGM
business will be posted on the website .
If you hold your shares through a platform, fund supermarket or
similar provider, please contact your provider as soon as possible
to register your voting instruction so that there is sufficient
lead time for your provider to process your vote before the formal
deadline noted above.
Please direct any questions or comments for the Board or
Managers in advance of the AGM through the Company's Managers,
Baillie Gifford, using the following email address or telephone
number:
Email: trustenquiries@bailliegifford.com
Telephone: 0800 917 2112
Alternatively, you may also get in touch via either of the Joint
Corporate Brokers, Jefferies and Numis Securities. Contact details
for these firms are included in the Annual Report and are also
available on their respective websites.
Managers' Presentations
Films of the reports on the portfolio from the two portfolio
managers, James Anderson and Tom Slater, will also subsequently be
available on the website . There are also further opportunities for
shareholders to engage with Scottish Mortgage throughout the year.
The primary means is through the Company's Managers, Baillie
Gifford, who hold multiple shareholder meetings and events around
the country throughout the year (circumstances permitting), as well
as providing a wealth of information and 'Insight' pieces on the
portfolio on the website . Now more than ever these digital
resources allow shareholders to stay well informed, by hearing
directly from those managing their money. The Managers have
arranged digital alternatives for the Scottish Mortgage events that
have had to be postponed or cancelled. Details are available on the
website . It is hoped that the Managers will be able to proceed
with the various Scottish Mortgage Forums planned for later in the
year. If such events can take place, Board members will look to
attend a number of these to provide opportunities for face to face
engagement with shareholders.
