TR European Growth Trust Withdraws Shareholder Requisition

Why we think this is neutral

The RNS announcement indicates that the company has received and withdrawn a second shareholder requisition notice, suggesting a constructive dialogue between the parties. However, the limited details provided make it difficult to assess the broader implications of this event. Overall, this appears to be a non-material regulatory announcement with no significant impact on the company's operations or financials.

Key Points

  • Shareholder requisition notice withdrawn
  • Constructive discussions between the company and Saba Capital Management
