Introduction
- Magellan Asset Management ("MAM") has announced a proposed restructure of three Global Equities retail funds into a single trust that has two unit classes - Closed Class & Open Class

-
Two separate trust schemes with MGF making an offer to acquire 100% of the units in Magellan Global
Equities Fund ("MGE") and Magellan Global Trust ("MGG") on a NAV-for-NAV basis - MGF's new Closed Class Units to be listed and subject to Listing Rules and Open Class Units to be quoted subject to the AQUA Rules
- Post implementation, MGF intends to undertake a 1-for-4 entitlement offer and issue of bonus options:
- All discounts will be funded by Magellan Financial Group
- The restructure is subject to approval by ASX, ASIC, the Courts and unitholders of MGF, MGE & MGG
- Working towards unitholder meetings in Q4 2020

Key investor benefits
- Greater flexibility in entering and exiting the Open Class Units
- Greater liquidity in the Open Class Units
- Enhanced transparency for all unitholders with units traded on ASX and identical disclosure across unit classes
-
Potential for improved secondary trading market in Closed Class Units - establishing open and closed-ended unit classes over the same investment portfolio removes
"basis risk" between the two unit classes - Offering Global Equities strategy via one trust with different access points, rather than a separate trust for each access point
- Opportunity to receive partnership benefits
Magellan|7
Restructure key terms
- Unit-for-unitwith exchange ratio on a NAV-for-NAV basis
- Investors will have an equivalent unit in MGF, both in value and fundamental rights
- Members of each fund are required to approve resolutions to effect the restructure
-
Member meetings expected to be held in Q4 2020. A notice of meeting and explanatory memoranda will be sent to unitholders in advance of the meetings which will include an
Independent Expert's Report - All transaction costs to be paid by Magellan Financial Group, not the trusts or unitholders
