BlackRock Throgmorton Trust plc Ordinary 5p Shares

Type:
Scheme of Arrangement
Shareholder action required:
Yes
Status:
Client deadline
Details (last updated 4 Mar 2026)

The board of BlackRock Throgmorton Trust plc (THRG) is proposing to wind up the company via a scheme of reconstruction. Under the terms of the scheme, holders of THRG shares have been offered BlackRock Smaller Companies Trust plc (BRSC) shares in place of their holding. If you do not want to receive BRSC shares, you have the option to elect to receive cash instead.

You have two options to consider before our deadline of noon on Wednesday 8 April 2026.

 

What are my options?

 

Option 1 - Rollover into BlackRock Smaller Companies Trust plc (DEFAULT). You can rollover your holding and receive BRSC shares. If you would like this option you do not need to take any action.

 

Option 2 - Cash option. As an alternative to BRSC shares, you can instead elect to receive cash in place of all or part of your holding. The cash option is subject to a limit of 38% of the company’s issued share capital, meaning if you elect to receive cash for more than 38% of your shares, your election may be scaled back and you may receive the default terms (BRSC shares) for some of your shares instead. Please note that the record date for this option is 23 February 2026, meaning that you must have held THRG shares on this date to be eligible for the cash offer.

 

Information on how entitlements under the above two options will be calculated is provided in the frequently asked questions sent by post / secure message.

 

Elect for cash – Act by noon Wednesday 8 April 2026

 

Before making an election for cash we recommend you read the full details of the scheme which can be found at https://www.blackrock.com/uk/solutions/investment-trusts/our-range/blackrock-throgmorton-investment-trust/trust-information#.

 

If the proposals are approved, they will become effective on 16 April 2026. The new BRSC shares are due from 17 April 2026. The cash resulting from option 2 is due as soon as practicable following the effective date.

 

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. Past dividends do not offer any guarantee of future dividends. Dividends are likely to vary year on year depending on company performance and could increase, decrease or stop altogether. Dividend data provided by Digital Look.

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'.
