Note: Tweedy, Browne Company LLC ("TBC") is an investment adviser registered with the United
States Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"). As of June 30, 2024, TBC manages approximately 9 billion in client assets. Securities managed on behalf of clients are held in the clients' own accounts and the clients themselves own all securities in their accounts. TBC's client base consists of a variety of institutional accounts including pooled vehicles, pension accounts, foundations as well as high net worth individuals. TBC is also the investment manager and primary distributor of four SEC registered open-end mutual funds, the Tweedy, Browne International Value Fund, the Tweedy, Browne Value Fund, Tweedy, Browne Worldwide High Dividend Value Fund, Tweedy, Browne Global Value Fund II - Unhedged and three sub-funds of a Luxembourg registered SICAV. TBC itself does not own any shares.
Pursuant to written investment advisory agreements between TBC and its client accounts, TBC has been granted investment discretion and in most cases authority to exercise the voting rights attached to the shares. Further, each TBC client enters into a separate custody agreement with a bank of their choosing, which bank in turn appoints a UK sub-custodian to hold their respective clients' positions in UK securities. TBC instructs each U.S. based custodian, which in turn directs the respective sub-custodian, as to the disposition, acquisition and exercise of voting rights attached to the shares owned by the TBC client accounts.
