Schroder Asian Total Return Investment Company plc has published a circular detailing its proposed combination with Pacific Assets Trust plc, which will be implemented via a scheme of reconstruction and winding-up. The combined entity is projected to have a pro forma Net Asset Value of approximately £1.04 billion. Key benefits include increased scale, a revised management fee structure with a new 0.50 per cent. tier for assets over £500 million and a reduced overall fee cap to 1.15 per cent., and an estimated drop in ongoing charges to 0.66 per cent. Schroders will contribute to transaction costs, estimated at £815,000 for ATR and £1.42 million for PAC, with a Schroders cost contribution capped at £2.75 million. A performance-related tender offer for up to 15 per cent. of shares is planned if the NAV total return underperforms its reference index over five years.
