Details (last updated 2 Feb 2026)

The board of Franklin Global Trust Plc  is proposing to wind up the company via a scheme of reconstruction. Under the terms of the scheme, holders of Franklin Global Trust Plc shares have been offered Invesco Global Equity Income Trust Plc shares (IGET) in place of their holding. If you do not want to receive Invesco shares, you have the option to elect to receive cash instead.

                                                

You have two options to consider before our deadline of noon on Tuesday 17 February 2026.

 

What are my options?

 

Option 1 - Rollover into Invesco Global Equity Income Trust Plc (DEFAULT). You can rollover your holding and receive IGET shares. If you would like this option you do not need to take any action.

 

Option 2 - Cash option. As an alternative to IGET shares, you can instead elect to receive cash in place of all or part of your holding. The cash option is expected to be unlimited with all valid elections due to be accepted.

 

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

 

Electing for cash – Act by noon Tuesday 17 February 2026

 

Before making an election for cash, we recommend that you read the full details of the scheme which can be found at https://www.franklinglobaltrust.com/.

 

If the proposals are approved, they will become effective on 27 February 2026. The new IGET shares are due from 2 March 2026. The cash resulting from option 2 is due around 13 March 2026.

 

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'.
