...Voted our group's 500 shares for liquidation.
...There are 5.339 million shares so that is not quite 0.01%. Another 49.99064% is needed.
...The City of London Investment Group PLC owns 12.97% (about 692,600) and the City of London Investment Management Co. Ltd. owns 11.9% (about 676,800).
...Anyone not voting will be counted as votes against liquidation (i.e. continue with the status quo and the discount to net asset value). If anyone has questions about the proxy statement they can call (866) 531-8037.
One can vote at 1-800-454-8683 or http://www.proxyvote.com up until 11:59 p.m. but I think you'll still need codes from a proxy.
...I assume the Board of Directors owns a few percent and will vote for liquidation.
...The special meeting is Monday 12/16 in the offices of Clifford Chance US LLP at 200 Park Avenue, New York, N.Y. 10166 at 11:00 a.m. EST.
