Tender Offer

Baillie Gifford Shin Nippon plc Ordinary 2p Shares

Type:
Tender Offer
Shareholder action required:
Yes
Status:
Client deadline
Details (last updated 5 Feb 2026)

Baillie Gifford Shin Nippon plc has proposed to purchase up to 15% of its shares. This is called a tender offer and is a way companies return cash to shareholders. The tender offer is subject to a shareholder approval at a meeting to be held on 18 February 2026.

We don’t know yet what price you’ll get for the shares you sell. The tender offer price is set to be announced by the company on or around 9 March 2026 and calculated as of close of business on 6 March 2026. Tender offer price will represent the Net Asset Value (NAV) per share, minus a 2% discount and associated tender offer costs. You can read the full terms of the offer in the Tender Offer Circular.

You can ask to sell all or part of your holding in the offer. You’ve got a guaranteed entitlement to tender (i.e. elect to sell) 15% of your shareholding. You can ask to sell more or less than this, but you might not successfully sell all the shares you tender above this entitlement.

If you don’t want to sell any shares, you don’t need to do anything.

Sell shares in the offer – Act by noon on Wednesday 25 February 2026

Any shares you ask to sell will be removed from your portfolio from 25 February 2026. You’ll receive cash from shares successfully sold on or around 20 March 2026. Any shares not successfully sold will be returned to your account around the same time.

As your shares are held with Hargreaves Lansdown, scaling back of excess tenders may not be on the same terms as those announced by the company.

Full details of this event will be sent to Qualifying Hargreaves Lansdown clients by either post or secure message. Please note that any instruction you give must be based on the full details provided in the letter and not on the summary information outlined above.

Data policy - All information should be used for indicative purposes only. You should independently check data before making any investment decision. HL cannot guarantee that the data is accurate or complete, and accepts no responsibility for how it may be used. Objective, holding data, trust manager and bio information, dividend policy, asset split and fee structure are provided by Morningstar.

The London Stock Exchange does not disclose whether a trade is a buy or a sell so this data is estimated based on the trade price received and the LSE-quoted mid-price at the point the trade is placed. It should only be considered an indication and not a recommendation.

Trades priced above the mid-price at the time the trade is placed are labelled as a buy; those priced below the mid-price are sells; and those priced close to the mid-price or declared late are labelled 'N/A'.
