Further to Results of AGM
In accordance with Provision 4 of the UK Code of Corporate
Governance dated July 2018, the Board of SQN Asset Finance Income
Fund Limited, ("SQN") wish to provide an update to the RNS
announcement made on 20 November 2018, under the heading "Result of
Annual General Meeting and Class Meetings", in which the Company
noted that, despite all Resolutions being passed, votes against two
resolutions, in excess of 20% of those voting, had been
received.
In Resolution 5, 24.06% of those voting cast their votes against
the reappointment of one of the directors, Paul Meader.
The Board is aware that those votes against were primarily from
two shareholders and relates to Mr Meader's role as a director on a
number of public investment company boards whereas certain advisory
groups have previously recommended a maximum of five public company
directorships. The Board has sought to engage with the two relevant
shareholders in relation to Mr Meader's appointment and will
continue to do so.
Since that time, Mr Meader has resigned from one listed
investment company board as a result of long tenure. The Board also
notes the more recent change, to certain advisory group and
shareholder group policies in relation to Investment Company
boards, that now recognises the reduced workload associated with
this type of company.
Regardless, the Board believes that Mr Meader has made a
significant contribution to the Board since his appointment in
August 2017 and that he has sufficient time to meet his commitments
to the Company.
There was also a 55.07% vote against Resolution 3: the authority
to issue up to 10% of the Company's issued ordinary share capital,
in addition to the standard 10% authority sought in Resolution 2.
In that regard, the Company will not, in the future, seek to
include such a Resolution unless shareholders have been engaged
beforehand.
