Notification and public disclosure of transactions by persons discharging managerial responsibilities and persons closely associated with them
Jonathan Simpson-Dent, chair of Edinburgh Worldwide Investment Trust, said: "Edinburgh Worldwide has a unique mandate to invest in public and private companies at the forefront of technological innovation. I am truly excited by this trust and what it offers for retail shareholders. And I am truly excited by the potential of the companies in our portfolio - which are investing in areas such as quantum computing, gene-silencing, robotics, drone technology and, of course, space exploration. I will fight to protect this trust. And I hope that our shareholders will too. If you want to preserve this investment trust, I urge all our shareholders to vote to stop Saba."
