On 16 September 2025, the Company announced its Annual Report and Financial Statements for the year ended 30 June 2025 (the 2025 Annual Report). Following the announcement,CLIGhas revised language in the Chairman's Statement by replacing the following paragraph from the section entitled “Happy fifth anniversary! Our dream merger withKarpus Investment Management” on page 6:
“George Karpus had a dream as an entrepreneur and in 1986 embarked on his lifetime's passion. At the same time, Barry Olliff was planning and establishing Olliff & Partners, the predecessor firm to City of London Investment Group. George and Barry pursued and fulfilled their dreams over nearly four decades – passionately leading their teams, growing their firms and providing strong returns for clients. Five years into our relationship, I can say with confidence that our CLIM and KIM merger made good sense and added considerable expertise and value to CLIG. We draw confidence from this successful integration. While Barry Olliff and George Karpus are officially retired, we are fortunate that their teachings and philosophies are alive and well at CLIG – and both Barry and George remain strong supporters of our teams.”
The paragraph has been amended from the Company's RNS announcement on 16 September 2025 following consultation with Barry Olliff, on the basis that it does not reflect his current view in relation to the Company. The revised language in the Chairman's Statement therefore now reads as follows:
“George Karpus had a dream as an entrepreneur and in 1986 embarked on his lifetime's passion. In 1991, City of London Investment Group was established. Our teams pursued and fulfilled their dreams – growing the firms and providing strong returns for clients. Five years into our relationship, I can say with confidence that our CLIM and KIM merger made good sense and added considerable expertise and value to CLIG. We draw confidence from this successful integration.”
