November 2020 General Meeting - Update Statement
When announcing the results of the General Meeting held on 26
November 2020 Baillie Gifford China Growth Trust plc (the
"Company") noted the significant vote against Resolution 2. As
explained fully in the Circular, Resolution 2 sought approval to
renew the Company's shareholder authority to issue further Ordinary
Shares on a non pre-emptive basis prior to the Company's next
annual general meeting. The Circular noted that the Directors would
only use the authority to disapply pre-emption rights and issue
Ordinary Shares at a premium to NAV.
The Company's broker has contacted relevant shareholders and
re-iterated the context in which the Resolution was proposed.
Further, the Board discussed the matter with its advisers and
for the General Meeting on 18 March 2021 and the Annual General
Meeting on 16 June 2021 the resolutions to issue further Ordinary
Shares on a non pre-emptive basis were split into two separate
resolutions for 10% each rather than one resolution for 20%. As
reported by the Company the votes against the resolutions ( as a %
of total votes cast) at the General Meeting on 18 March 2021 were
1.4% and 9.3% respectively and at the Annual General Meeting on 16
June 2021 were 0.7% and 3.0% respectively. The circular for the
General Meeting in March 2021 and the Annual Report for 2021
clearly set out the rationale for the issuance authority and the
circumstances in which they would be used.
