Winding up of the Company

Further to the Company's announcement on 15 January 2021, the board of the Company (the "Board") announces that it now intends to convene a general meeting of the Company to be held in July 2021 to consider a continuation vote resolution followed by a special resolution to place the Company in members' voluntary liquidation. The Company's largest shareholder, Associated Capital Group Inc, has irrevocably undertaken to abstain from voting on these resolutions. The Company has undertaken not to put proposals to shareholders for a tender offer or other return of capital prior to the date of the general meeting. The Board intends to include further details of the proposed continuation vote and liquidation in a circular that will be sent to shareholders in June 2021.
