Details (last updated 19 Feb 2026)

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


You have two options to consider before our deadline of noon on Friday 6 March 2026.

What are my options?

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

 

Option 2 - Cash option.  As an alternative to AEI 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 25% of the company’s issued share capital, meaning if you elect to receive cash for more than 25% of your shares, your election may be scaled back and you may receive the default terms (AEI for some of your shares) instead.

Electing for cash – Act by noon on Friday 6 March 2026

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

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'.
