Ashoka India Equity Investment Trust Amends Total Voting Rights in April 2025 Announcement

Published: 01 Apr 2025
Ashoka India Equity Investment Trust has clarified the total voting rights associated with its share capital, providing an accurate figure following a minor numeric error in an earlier disclosure.

An unforeseen numerical discrepancy found its correction when Ashoka India Equity Investment Trust revised its stated total voting rights associated with its share capital in 2025. The December 2021 announcement, issued with reference to the financial communication to investors under RNS No 9850C on 1 April 2025, suffered from a slight numeric discrepancy. In the initially reported figures, the count of total voting rights was stated as ‘167,841,892’. However, this has been amended to correctly reflect ‘167,841,893’. The alteration pertains primarily to the first and third paragraphs of the announcement, while all other details continue to remain consistent with the original figure. Initiated under Disclosure Guidance and Transparency Rules, the announcement confirms that, as of 31 March 2025, the issued share capital of the Company comprised 167,841,893 Ordinary Shares. Each of these shares holds a nominal value of £0.01 and carries an individual voting right. Notably, the company does not hold any Ordinary Shares in Treasury. Therefore, ‘167,841,893’ is established as the accurate total figure denoting the number of voting rights within the Company. Shareholders may employ this numerically corrected figure as the denominator for any necessary calculations in terms of notifying changes or overall interest in the Company, so as to operate in accordance with the FCA’s Disclosure Guidance and Transparency Rules. The release of this information is handled by RNS, a news service affiliated with the London Stock Exchange and recognized by the Financial Conduct Authority in the United Kingdom as a Primary Information Provider.
