Company update
On 27 January 2022, shareholders of Henderson European Focus Trust plc (the ‘Company’) approved a sub-division of the ordinary shares at the Company’s Annual General Meeting. The sub-division became effective on Monday, 7 February 2022 (the ‘Effective Date’). This means that each ordinary share of 50 pence in the capital of the Company (‘Previous Ordinary Shares’) has now been sub-divided into ten new ordinary shares of 5 pence each (‘New Ordinary Shares’). Although each ordinary shareholder now holds ten times as many New Ordinary Shares than before, each shareholder's proportionate interest in the ordinary share capital of the Company remains unchanged. The New Ordinary Shares have the same rights to participate in dividends or income of the Company and the same rights on liquidation of the Company as holders of Previous Ordinary Shares. Each New Ordinary Share carries the right to one vote on a poll.
Please see the Annual Report or watch the Understanding Share Splits video for further information. For more information, see the Annual Report read the FAQs or watch the Understanding share splits video.
INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE
2024 Annual General Meeting
We are pleased to invite you to attend the Henderson European Focus Trust plc’s Annual General Meeting (AGM), taking place on Thursday, 25 January 2024 at 11.30 am.
A physical meeting is planned and you are invited to attend in person at the registered office, 201 Bishopsgate, London EC2M 3AE. For those who prefer to join virtually by Zoom videoconference, please register here in advance, entering your shareholder details. Attending either in person or by Zoom will allow you to be present for a presentation from your Fund Managers, and will enable you to ask questions and debate with your Fund Managers and Board.
As is our normal practice, there will be live voting for those physically present at the AGM. We cannot offer live voting by Zoom, and we therefore encourage all shareholders, and particularly those who cannot attend physically, to submit votes by proxy ahead of the deadline of 11.30 am on Tuesday 23 January 2024 to ensure your vote counts at the AGM.
For more details, please see the Notice of AGM (pages 83-89 of the 2023 Annual Report) and the proxy form, both in the Documents section listed below.
