Details (last updated 18 Sep 2025)

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

You have two options to consider before our deadline of noon on Tuesday 7 October 2025.

 

What are my options?

 

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

 

Option 2 - Cash option. As an alternative to ESCT 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 15% of the company’s issued share capital, meaning if you elect to receive cash for more than 15% of your shares, your election may be scaled back and you may receive the default terms (ESCT shares) for some of your shares instead.

 

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 Tuesday 7 October 2025

 

Before making an election for cash we recommend you read the full details of the scheme which can be found at https://www.columbiathreadneedle.com/eat-update/.

 

If the proposals are approved, they will become effective on 15 October 2025. The new ESCT shares are due from 16 October 2025. The cash resulting from option 2 is due from 4 November 2025.

 

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.
