Bellevue Healthcare Trust plc
Publication of a Circular and Notice of General Meeting
The Board of Bellevue Healthcare Trust plc (the "Company") announced on 23 April 2025 the introduction of a zero discount policy with the aim of the policy being for the Company's share price to trade at or around the net asset value per share in normal market conditions (the "Zero Discount Policy").
The Board announces that it has published a shareholder circular (the "Circular") which contains a notice of a general meeting (the "General Meeting"), at which the Board is seeking Shareholders' approval to authorise the Company to make purchases of its own shares in order to support the continued operation of the Zero Discount Policy.
Since 23 April 2025, being the date on which the Zero Discount Policy was introduced, to the Latest Practicable Date, the Company has repurchased 102,398,853 Shares in aggregate and the Shares have traded at an average discount to NAV of 1.9 per cent.
In order that the Company may continue to operate the Zero Discount Policy once the authority to repurchase its own Shares taken at the general meeting held on 12 August 2025 may have been fully utilised, the Board has agreed that the Company should hold another General Meeting at 9.00 a.m. on 29 September 2025 at which the Company will seek further renewal of the authority to make purchases of its own Shares. Without this further authority, the Company may not have sufficient authority remaining to continue to purchase its own Shares to support the Zero Discount Policy.
The General Meeting will be held at the offices of Stephenson Harwood LLP, 1 Finsbury Circus, London EC2M 7SH on 29 September 2025 at 9.00 a.m.
