("JIL" or the "Company")

Share Buyback Programme

 

The following amendment has been made to the 'Share Buyback Programme' announcement released on 27 October 2010 at 07:00 under RNS No 0550V.

The announcement stated that no purchases will be made by the Company under the Buyback unless they are earnings accretive. The statement has been amended to read, "No purchases will be made by the Company under the Buyback unless they are accretive on a net asset value per share basis."

All other details remain unchanged.

The full amended text is shown below.

"At the annual general meeting of the Company held on 28 May 2010, Shareholders authorised the Company to make market purchases of up to 14.99 per cent. of the issued share capital of the Company.

Given the current share price of the Company's shares compared to its published net asset value, the Company announces that it intends to commence a share buyback programme over the next few days of up to US $10 million (the "Buyback") pursuant to this authority. No purchases will be made by the Company under the Buyback unless they are accretive on a net asset value per share basis. 

Assuming no sales are made by Invesco Asset Management Limited ("Invesco"), Invesco may hold shares carrying more 30 per cent. of the voting rights of the Company as a result of a Buyback.

Following discussions between the Company and the Takeover Panel, the Takeover Panel has agreed that, under Rule 37.1 of the Takeover Code and the notes to that Rule, Invesco should be treated as an "innocent bystander" in relation to any increase in its holdings of Shares as a result of the Buyback and will not therefore be required to make an offer under Rule 9 as a result of any increase in its holding caused by such a Buyback."
