Note
Financial assets have been valued on a fair value basis using bid prices or, if more appropriate, a last trade basis and debt (net of cash held) is valued at par. In addition, investments in underlying funds are valued using values (whether final or estimated) as advised by their managers or administrators. The Company has therefore relied on the valuation and reporting methods used by the managers or administrators of the underlying funds.
 
2.   Free Float Update
 
In addition, and further to the announcement on 27th May 2020 concerning shares in public hands, the free float of the Company is presently approximately 15.8%. The Board and its advisers continue to keep the FCA informed of any relevant developments and work towards restoring the number of shares in public hands.
