All Resolutions Passed at Extraordinary General Meeting
Partners Group Global Opportunities Limited (the "Company") is pleased to
announce that at a General Meeting which was held on 13 November 2009 at 11.30
a.m. at Third Floor, Tudor House, Le Bordage, St Peter Port, Guernsey GY1 1BT,
the two proposed special resolutions were duly passed. Both resolutions were
passed on a poll at the meeting. The results of the poll were as follows:
+----+--------------------------------+------------+-----------+--------------+
| | SPECIAL RESOLUTION | FOR | AGAINST | VOTE |
| | | | | WITHHELD |
+----+--------------------------------+------------+-----------+--------------+
| 1 | Adoption of the New Articles |25'381'579 | 492'199 | 3'324 |
| | and conversion of the Company | | | |
| | into an Open-Ended Authorised | | | |
| | Fund. | | | |
+----+--------------------------------+------------+-----------+--------------+
| 2 | Conversion of the ordinary |25'381'579 | 492'199 | 3'324 |
| | shares into redeemable | | | |
| | participating shares. | | | |
+----+--------------------------------+------------+-----------+--------------+
John Hallam, Chairman of the Company, comments: "We are very pleased to have
reached this major milestone in the Company's corporate development. The
resolutions were supported by votes in favour amounting to 98.1% of all votes
cast, which the directors of PGGO regard as an unambiguous sign of our
shareholders' appreciation of the new corporate structure. By converting
PGGO into an open-ended structure, discount volatility will be removed and
investors are typically expected to be able to value their holdings at net asset
value. With PGGO's portfolio value having shown a recovery in the third quarter
of 2009, the new corporate structure is expected to create value for our
long-term shareholders and to provide regular, albeit gated liquidity after the
lock-up period."
Set out below is a summary of the special resolutions:
Special resolution 1 approved the adoption of the amended and restated
memorandum and articles of incorporation (the "New Articles") of the Company to
reflect the change in the Company's status from being a closed-ended company to
an open-ended fund authorised under the Guernsey Collective Investment Schemes
(Class B) Rules 1990 (an "Open-Ended Authorised Fund") and to approve the
conversion of the Company into an Open-Ended Authorised Fund; in each case with
effect from the twenty-first business day following the passing of the
resolution.
Special resolution 2 approved the conversion of the ordinary shares of the
Company into redeemable participating shares having the rights attached to them
in the New Articles.
Certified copies of the approved special resolutions have been submitted to the
UK Listing Authority and will shortly be available for inspection at the UK
Listing Authority's Document Viewing Facility, which is situated at:
Financial Services Authority
25 The North Colonnade
Canary Wharf
London E14 5HS
Phone: +44 20 7676 1000
Following the passing of the special resolutions, the Company now intends to
write to the UK Listing Authority with a formal request that the listing of the
ordinary shares be suspended on 14 December 2009 and cancelled with effect from
17 December 2009. It is anticipated that the last day of trading in the
Company's shares on the main market of the London Stock Exchange will be 11
December 2009, and that the register of members will be closed at 5.00p.m. on 11
December 2009.
The Company also intends to proceed with its application for the admission of
the redeemable participating shares to the Irish Official List and to trading on
the main market of the Irish Stock Exchange (the "Admission"). It is expected
that the conversion of the Company into an Open-Ended Authorised Fund and the
conversion of the ordinary shares into redeemable participating shares on 14
December 2009 and that the Admission will occur on 17 December 2009.
