Results of Elections

 

On 17 March 2025, the Board of Keystone Positive Change Investment Trust plc
(the "Company") announced that Shareholders had approved the proposals for the
scheme of reconstruction and members' voluntary winding-up of the Company
under section 110 of the Insolvency Act 1986 (the "Scheme") at the adjourned
Ordinary Shareholders' Class Meeting and the adjourned First General Meeting.
Implementation of the Scheme remains subject to, among other things,
Shareholder approval at the adjourned Second General Meeting to be held on 28
March 2025.

 

The Board announces the following Elections in connection with the Scheme:

 

·      Rollover Option: 17,925,883 Ordinary Shares / 30.3 per cent. of
issued Ordinary Shares (excluding Ordinary Shares held in treasury); which
will be reclassified as Reclassified Shares with "A" rights, being the right
to receive New BGPC Shares in the Baillie Gifford Positive Change Fund; and

to receive cash.

 

In accordance with the Scheme, eligible Shareholders that made no Election
