In light of some opposition to Resolution 10, primarily from a single material shareholder, the Board decided to withdraw the resolution from the business of the meeting. The Board believes that the share buyback authority is fundamental to the Company's discount management policy and notes that the approval of the resolution was recommended by shareholder voting guidance agencies. The Board therefore proposes to consult with shareholders to address any concerns that have influenced their voting. Following these consultations, a general meeting will be convened to seek shareholder approval of a new share buyback authority.
The poll results will also shortly be available on the Company's website at: www.jupiteram.com/ uk/en/individual/rights-and-issues-investment-trust-plc
