AVI Japan Opportunity Trust Plc ( (GB:AJOT) ) has issued an announcement.

Shareholders in AVI Japan Opportunity Trust PLC overwhelmingly backed all resolutions at the company’s annual general meeting held on 5 May 2026, with each motion passed by poll. Investors approved the receipt of the annual reports and accounts, a final dividend of 0.60p per share, and the re-election of all existing directors, reinforcing continuity in the trust’s governance.

The meeting also endorsed the reappointment of BDO LLP as auditor and authorised the board to set its remuneration, issue new shares within defined limits, make market purchases of its own shares, and disapply pre-emption rights under specific conditions. Approval to cancel the share premium account and to hold general meetings on 14 days’ notice gives the board increased capital-management and corporate flexibility, which may support more agile responses to market opportunities for shareholders.
