Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Fleming Emerging Markets Investment Trust plans to raise a further pounds 50m, and has already provisionally placed pounds 37.5m of 100p shares with new and existing shareholders, mostly institutions.
The trust is raising the money through an issue of so-called C shares, forming a separate pool of assets that will bear the issue expenses. This device avoids dilution for the existing shareholders and allows Flemings to manage the new money separately until it is substantially invested.
The C shares will convert into new ordinary shares by no later than 30 September at a rate that will be determined by their respective net asset values. At the same time holders of C shares will receive one warrant for every five new shares issued to them.
