Capital allocation
The Company's Board of Directors reconfirms their commitment to the Company's capital allocation policy set out in the 2024 Annual Report and Accounts, continuing to prioritise further reduction in leverage, as well as reducing equity-like exposures and exposures in certain sectors, whilst also facilitating the return of £50.0 million of capital to shareholders. At 31 March 2025, the Company had £41.0 million (31 December 2024: £61.0 million) outstanding under its revolving credit arrangements, representing a net debt position of £29.2 million (31 December 2024: £42.5 million) which compares to the Company's unaudited NAV of £871.7 million (31 December 2024: £910.7 million).
As announced on 30 January 2025, and in line with the Company's capital allocation policy, during the period the Company disposed of its interest in two operational onshore wind farms, generating day one cash proceeds of £16.5 million.
Further supporting the capital allocation policy, the Company bought back 13,610,093 ordinary shares in the quarter, contributing a 0.49 pence per ordinary share increase to NAV.
The Board and the Investment Adviser continue to focus on additional opportunities for refinancings or disposals within the portfolio, in order to achieve the targets set out in the capital allocation policy, with a number of active processes.
