Aberforth Geared Trust confirms share premium account cancellation

On Thursday, Aberforth Geared Value & Income Trust plc (LSE:AGIT) announced the completion of its share premium account cancellation. This financial move follows a special resolution passed during the general meeting on May 24, 2024, and has been confirmed by the High Court of Justice, Chancery Division.

The cancellation process officially concluded when the Court Order was registered with the Registrar of Companies on November 12, 2024, making the cancellation effective from that date.

Shareholders and potential investors are advised to take note of this development when considering their investment decisions.
