Publication of circular
The Board of Bramdean Alternatives Limited has published a circular containing
full details of the following proposals which have previously been announced:
(a) to change the name of the Company to Aberdeen Private Equity Fund
Limited, consistent with the appointment of Aberdeen Asset Managers Limited as
the Company's investment manager in November last year;
(b) to refine the investment objective and policy of the Company, reflecting
a focus on private equity funds rather than a hybrid objective of investing in
private equity and hedge funds;
(c) to convert all of the Company's US Dollar shares into Sterling shares,
thereby simplifying the Company's capital structure; and
(d) to approve the waiver, which has been granted by the Panel on Takeovers
and Mergers, of the obligation that would otherwise arise on Elsina Limited (the
Company's largest shareholder) to make a general offer to shareholders pursuant
to Rule 9 of the City Code as a result of the share conversion proposal in (c)
or in consequence of the Company repurchasing its own shares.
These proposals will be put forward for consideration by shareholders at an
extraordinary general meeting and by the US Dollar shareholders at a separate
class meeting, both to be held in Guernsey on 3 June 2010.
A copy of the circular has been submitted to the UK Listing Authority and will
be available for inspection at the UK Listing Authority's Documents Viewing
Facility, which is situated at:
