HENDERSON OPPORTUNITIES TRUST PLC
Notice of Requisition of an EGM
The Board acknowledges the receipt of a requisition notice from Saba Capital Management, L.P., requesting the convening of a General Meeting to consider resolutions to remove the current directors and to appoint two new directors to the Board.
The Board will convene the requisite meeting in accordance with the statutory timelines. The Board does not believe these resolutions are in the best interests of shareholders and will be advising shareholders to vote against them.
Given the Company's performance and in light of the forthcoming continuation vote, the Board confirms that it had already instructed advisers to commence work on putting forward a scheme of reconstruction to give all shareholders choice between ongoing investment and a full cash exit. The Board intends to continue with these plans and expects to be in a position to announce the detail in the short term.
Accordingly, Shareholders are advised to take no action at this time.
