Ed Warner, Chair of FGEN, said:
"On behalf of the Board, I would like to thank shareholders who have again
demonstrated their strong support for the continuation of FGEN. We believe
this outcome reflects investor confidence in the strength of our strategy and
our commitment to narrowing the share price discount relative to net asset
value.
"We recognise the challenges the sector continues to face and acknowledge that
a minority of shareholders voted for the discontinuation of the Company. We
take this feedback seriously and, together with our Investment Manager, we
remain committed to constructive engagement with shareholders.
"We remain firmly focused on narrowing the discount and managing the portfolio
to deliver sustainable long-term returns for our shareholders."
