Independent Voting Advisors ISS, Glass Lewis and PIRC all recommend shareholders vote:
FOR the re-election of the independent Board members; and
AGAINST Saba's proposed nominees
The Board of Edinburgh Worldwide Investment Trust plc (the "Company" or "EWIT") notes the publication of the voting recommendations from independent voting advisors ISS, Glass Lewis and PIRC in relation to the Company's forthcoming Annual General Meeting ("AGM") on 30 April.
All three independent advisors have recommended that shareholders VOTE IN FAVOUR of all Board resolutions, including the re-election of all five independent directors and VOTE AGAINST the three resolutions proposed by Saba to appoint Gabriel Gliksberg, Jassen Trenkow and Michael Joseph as directors of the Company. This is consistent with the unanimous recommendation of the Company's independent Board.
Jonathan Simpson-Dent, Chair of Edinburgh Worldwide commented: "We welcome the recommendation of ISS, Glass Lewis and PIRC who all advise that shareholders vote in favour of the Board's resolutions and against the resolutions tabled by Saba. It's now critical that all shareholders turn out and vote to avoid Saba taking control."
The AGM will take place on 30 April at 12:00 noon at the offices of Baillie Gifford & Co, Calton Square, 1 Greenside Row, Edinburgh EH1 3AN. Shareholders are reminded that platforms may have voting deadlines as early as 24 April. Platform deadlines are as follows:
· Fidelity: 24 April 2026
· Hargreaves Lansdown: 27 April 2026
· AJ Bell: 27 April 2026
· interactive investor: 27 April 2026
