Premier Global Infrastructure Trust
PLC
Update Regarding Change of Name and
Shareholder Consultation
The Board of Premier Global Infrastructure Trust PLC (the
“Company”) announces that further to the Results of General Meeting
announcement on 9 October 2020, the
Company has consulted with dissenting shareholders with regards to
the proposed change of its name.
Following the consultations, and in order to ensure consistency
between the name of the Company and its investment policy, and
further to reflect the merger of Premier Asset Management Group PLC
with Miton Group PLC in November
2019, the Company confirms that on 20
October 2020, under the powers conferred under the Company’s
articles of association, the Board resolved to change the name of
the Company to Premier Miton Global Renewables Trust PLC.
The Company has made all necessary filings at the Registrar of
Companies to effect the change of name; however, there is expected
to be a delay in Companies House effecting the change. A further
announcement will be made at that time.
In addition, following the passing of the resolution to change
the investment policy to focus on renewable energy, the Company has
also consulted with dissenting shareholders with regards to the
change of investment policy. The Board appreciates that the
dissenting shareholders would have preferred to retain the
Company’s prior investment policy to invest in a broader spread of
infrastructure investments. However, for the reasons set out
in the Company’s circular dated 16 September
2020, and following an indication from the largest
dissenting shareholder that he intends to continue his support of
the Company notwithstanding the change in investment policy, the
Board believes that the change of investment policy is in the best
interests of the Company and its shareholders.
