Alliance Trust PLC - Proposed Withdrawal of AGM Resolution

Alliance Trust PLC – Proposed withdrawal AGM Resolution

Further to the Company’s announcement on 13 March 2020 regarding publication of the Notice of Meeting for the Annual General Meeting on Thursday 23 April 2020 at 11.00 a.m.  (the “AGM”), the Board announces that it proposes to withdraw resolution number 12 concerning the conversion of its Merger Reserve into a distributable reserve (the “Capital Reduction”).

The proposed Capital Reduction requires both shareholder and court approval. As a result of the current COVID-19 outbreak, the court is presently closed to all but urgent business. It is not known when court time will be secured to consider the Company’s proposal when the court re-opens. Due to anticipated pressure on the court to consider business critical matters when it re-opens, the Board proposes to withdraw the resolution from this year’s AGM. The Board does however expect to put a similar resolution forward at the Company’s AGM in April 2021 after which, court approval will be sought.

The proposed withdrawal of resolution 12 does not otherwise affect the validity of the Notice of Meeting, the proxy form or any proxy votes already submitted.

ALW’s manager, Willis Towers Watson (WTW), says markets are now too focused on short-term trends and momentum, with valuations rising for unprofitable companies based on hope, rather than strong business fundamentals. In contrast, ALW’s companies generally have stronger results than the wider mark...

Alliance Witan – Returns based more in reality than hope

Alliance Witan (ALW) has just announced its annual results for 2025, over which its returns lagged those of its benchmark, the MSCI All Countries World Index (MSCI ACWI). In this note, we examine the reasons behind that underperformance. Chief amongst them, according to ALW’s manager Willis Towers Watson (WTW), is that markets have become too short-term-focused, momentum-driven, and detached from underlying fundamentals. On average, the results of ALW’s companies are much stronger than the wider...
