Details (last updated 25 Apr 2025)

The European Smaller Companies Trust plc is offering to buy up to 42.5% of its shares. This is called a tender offer.

 

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) 42.5% 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.

 

The tender price will be calculated at the close of business on 19 May 2025, and will be based on the value of the assets set aside for shareholders who choose to sell their shares for cash in the tender offer (the Cash Exit Pool), minus the associated costs, taxes, and liabilities. The tender price is expected to be announced on or around 25 June 2025.

 

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 Thursday 15 May 2025

 

Any shares you ask to sell will be removed from your portfolio from 15 May 2025. You’ll receive cash from shares successfully sold at a date to be determined on or around 25 June 2025, and 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/message and not on the summary information outlined above.

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'.
