<div id="readability-page-1">LONDON--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Saba Capital Management, L.P. (together with certain of its affiliates, “Saba” or “we”), the largest shareholder of Schroder UK Mid Cap Fund plc ( SHRDF ) (“SCP” or the “Company”), today announced a significant liquidity win for SCP shareholders secured through constructive engagement with the Company’s Board. Under the terms of the agreement and subject to shareholder approval, the Company will conduct a tender offer for up to 100% of the ordinary shares of SCP. Shareholders will have no additional reductions applied to their payout beyond the tender costs, which will be covered via the tender pool on a pro rata basis. The tender offer will be available to all shareholders on the register as at 6:00 p.m. BST on 21 May 2026. In accordance with the terms of the standstill agreement, which is in effect for three years, Saba has committed to vote in favour of the requisite resolution and to tender all of the shares it owns. The tender offer will only proceed if not more than 49.87% shares are tendered (which would ensure that the Company had net assets of more than £125 million of net assets after completion of the tender offer, based on the last NAV). Boaz Weinstein, Founder and Chief Investment Officer of Saba, commented: “After more than a decade trading at a discount, SCP shareholders now have the opportunity to exit at NAV. This is what happens when boards listen to shareholders and engage constructively. It is more than just a victory for all SCP shareholders – it is further evidence that the positive transformation of the UK investment trust industry is accelerating.” SCP marks the eighth1 successful outcome from the nine UK investment trust campaigns Saba launched in 2024 and 2025. It follows the landmark outcome Saba delivered to shareholders of Herald Investment Trust PLC earlier this month. Since beginning its UK campaigns, Saba has made hundreds of millions of pounds for retail investors who would otherwise still be trapped in these trusts at wider discounts – with no way out. At the same time, record buybacks across Saba-owned investment trusts have boosted NAVs for all shareholders, delivering additional gains. White &amp; Case LLP is acting as legal adviser and Longacre Square Partners is acting as strategic adviser to Saba.
