Declaration of interim dividend of 6p per Ordinary Share

The Company's prospectus dated 30 October 2012 (the "Prospectus") stated:

"The objective of the Fund is to target capital preservation whilst producing regular tax-free distributions to shareholders; the Company intends to maintain a regular dividend payout of 6p per annum the first such payment being made on or around April 2015. These dividends may be paid out of profits (if sufficient are achieved) or distributable reserves."

The Board is pleased to announce that it has approved a dividend of 6p per Ordinary Share. This dividend is an interim dividend, but as it fulfils the aim set out in the Prospectus it is expected to be the only dividend in respect of the period to 28 February 2018.

The ex-dividend date will be 25 January 2018 and the record date 26 January 2018. The dividend will be paid to shareholders on or about 14 February 2018.
