Publication of Circular and Notice of General Meeting
for the change to the articles of association to allow the directors to change the name of the Company
The Board of CQS Natural Resources Growth and Income PLC (the Company) announces that it has today published a circular (the Circular) which contains a notice of a general meeting (the General Meeting), at which the Board is seeking Shareholders' approval for the change to the Company's articles of association (the Articles) to allow the directors to change the name of the Company.
Further to the announcement to the market on 27 May 2026, the Company's transition to the management of the portfolio by Tufton Investment Management Ltd is progressing well with the anticipated date of them taking over the management from 14 September as planned.
As CQS Natural Resources Growth and Income PLC currently incorporates the name of the Company's incumbent manager, the directors wish to change the name to recognise the move and remove any legacy name overhang. While market practice has moved towards name changes being approved by a resolution of directors, the Company's Articles still provide for a shareholder vote. The directors would like to amend the Articles to allow flexibility to change the name. As such the directors propose a change to the Articles to allow them to change the name of the Company by directors' resolution. Under the Companies Act 2006 public companies can change their name in accordance with the articles of association.
Following the General Meeting the Board will consider options for the new name of the Company and announce it to the market once confirmed.
The General Meeting will be held at 11 a.m. on Tuesday, 8 September 2026 at the offices of Dentons UK and Middle East LLP, One Fleet Place, London, EC4M 7RA. All Shareholders should note that this General Meeting will be of a procedural nature. There will therefore not be a presentation from the portfolio managers.
A copy of the Circular setting out the full details of the proposals, and containing notice of the General Meeting, will be published today and will be available on both the National Storage Mechanism at https://data.fca.org.uk/#/nsm/nationalstoragemechanism and the Company's website at https://ncim.co.uk/cqs-natural-resources-growth-and-income-plc.
Recommendation
The Board considers the passing of the Resolution to be in the best interests of the Company and its Shareholders as a whole. Accordingly, the Directors unanimously recommend that Shareholders vote in favour of the Resolution, as the Directors intend to vote in respect of their own shareholdings in the Company.
