Results of General Meeting
The Board of Aurora Investment Trust plc announces that, at the general meeting of the Company held earlier today, all of the proposed resolutions were approved by shareholders.
As a result, the Company will adopt a new investment policy and approve the Castelnau Related Party Transaction and the IMA Amendment Related Party Transaction (all as set out in the circular to shareholders dated 3 September 2021 (the "Circular")).
Defined terms have the defined meanings given to them in the Circular.
The Chair of the Board, Lord Howard Flight, said today, "The Board welcomes the approval of the Proposals by the shareholders of the Company. As we set out in the Circular we believe that investment in the Castelnau Group Limited gives the Company the opportunity to participate in a vehicle which will seek to transform old economy businesses using modern techniques to create valuable long-term investments."
Details of the number of proxy votes cast for, against and withheld in respect of the Resolutions (each of which was held on a show of hands) are set out below and will also be published on the Company's website, https://www.aurorainvestmenttrust.com/.
