Result of General Meeting

 

Utilico Emerging Markets Trust plc ("UEM" or the "Company") is pleased to
announce the results of the General Meeting which was held earlier today.
Both resolutions proposed at the meeting were passed on a show of hands.

 

On 7 August 2025 UEM announced a comprehensive suite of initiatives which seek
to increase demand for its shares and enhance the rating of the Company's
shares over time.  On 15 August 2025, as part of these initiatives, UEM
published a Circular containing a Notice of General Meeting seeking approval
to amend the Company's existing articles of association and to approve the
continuation of the Company as presently constituted.

 

Mark Bridgeman, Chairman of UEM, said, "Following a further period of strong
performance, the Board is delighted with the overwhelming support that
shareholders have shown in passing both resolutions today and looks forward to
UEM continuing to build on its 20-year record of outperformance and its
progressive dividend policy. The Board's announcement last month of a
comprehensive suite of initiatives aims to enhance shareholder value and
provide greater transparency, and the Board will continue to support the fund
managers in their focus on delivering strong long-term performance through
UEM's differentiated emerging markets strategy."

 

Charles Jillings & Jacqueline Broers, Joint Portfolio Managers of UEM,
added, "We were pleased to welcome so many shareholders to UEM's meetings
today and to make a presentation providing an overview of UEM's investment
portfolio and strategy. We are always happy to meet investors and update them
on the Company's performance and outlook."
