Baltic Horizon Fund – Notice of New Annual General Meeting
Annual General Meeting of Baltic Horizon Fund investors took place on 26 May 2020 in Tallinn, Estonia. As announced to the market on 26 May 2020, the quorum was not reached and investors were not able to adopt the proposed resolution, and so a new general meeting will be convened by Northern Horizon Capital AS with the same agenda.
The new general meeting of unit-holders of Baltic Horizon Fund is to be held on 9 June 2020 at 15:00 (Eastern European Summer Time, local Estonian time) at the office of Northern Horizon Capital AS at Tornimäe 2, 24th floor, 10145 Tallinn, Estonia. Registration for the meeting will begin at 14:00 Estonian time.
The new general meeting of unit-holders of the Baltic Horizon Fund is convened in accordance with sections 8.3, 8.7, 10.3.1, 10.4 and 10.11 of the Rules of Baltic Horizon Fund and sections 47-1 and 55-9 of the Investment Funds Act of Estonia.
The total number of units and votes in the Fund amounts to 113,387,525.
Considering the coronavirus pandemic, Northern Horizon Capital AS strongly recommends unit-holders not to participate in the meeting physically and issue a power of attorney with instructions for voting to exercise their rights as a unit-holder. We propose the unit-holders to consider designating fund manager Tarmo Karotam as their authorised representative.

Baltic Horizon Fund is registered in Estonia, which means that any power of attorney (or any certified copy of the registration certificate of a legal person) issued in a foreign country should be notarised and accompanied by an apostille.
