Partial Compulsory Redemption of Shares
This announcement contains inside information
Further to the approval given by the Company's Shareholders on 15 March 2017 to enable compulsory redemptions of the Ordinary Shares (as described in the Circular dated 15 February 2017), the Company today announces that it will return £17,000,000 on 31 August 2018 (the "Redemption Date") by way of a compulsory partial redemption of up to 19,180,864 Ordinary Shares (the "Fifth Redemption"). Approximately 23.4% of the issued share capital will be redeemed.
The Fifth Redemption will be effected at 88.63 pence per Ordinary Share, being the NAV per Ordinary Share as at 31 July 2018 of 89.63 pence, less the 1.00 pence dividend payable to shareholders on the register as at close of business on 3 August 2018, as announced by the Company on 24 July 2018. The Redemption will be effected pro rata to holdings of Ordinary Shares on the register at the close of business on the Redemption Record Date, being 31 August 2018. As at today's date, the Company has 81,845,546 Ordinary Shares in issue, of which none are held in treasury.
On this basis, a holder of 10,000 Ordinary Shares will have 2,343 Ordinary Shares redeemed, and receive £2,076.60 in cash.
Fractions of Ordinary Shares will not be redeemed and so the number of Ordinary Shares to be redeemed for each shareholder will be rounded down to the nearest whole number of Ordinary Shares.
The amount to be applied to the partial redemption of Ordinary Shares comprises monies from the Company's existing cash balances.
All Ordinary Shares that are redeemed will be cancelled with effect from the relevant Redemption Date. Accordingly, once redeemed, Ordinary Shares will be incapable of transfer.
The Ordinary Shares will be disabled in CREST after close of business on the Redemption Date and the existing ISIN number GG00BF4J9110 (the "Old ISIN") will expire.
The new ISIN number GG00BD49J843 (the "New ISIN") in respect of the remaining Ordinary Shares which have not been redeemed will be enabled and available for transactions from and including 3 September 2018.
Up to and including the Redemption Date, Ordinary Shares will continue to be traded under the Old ISIN and as such, a purchaser of such Ordinary Shares would have a market claim for a proportion of the redemption proceeds. CREST will automatically transform any open transactions as at the Redemption Date into the New ISIN.
Shareholders should note that the Board retains absolute discretion as to the execution, extent and timing of any further returns of capital.
