Share buy-backs 
During the period, the Company did not buy back any shares as it was in a
close period.

It remains the Board’s policy to buy back shares in the market, subject to
the overall constraint that such purchases are in the Company’s interest,
including the maintenance of sufficient resources for investment in existing
and new portfolio companies and the continued payment of dividends to
shareholders.

It is the Board’s intention for buy-backs to be at around a 5% discount to
net asset value, so far as market conditions and liquidity permit.

Cancellation of share premium account 
The Company obtained authority to cancel the amount standing to the credit of
its share premium account at the General Meeting on 11 December 2024. The
purpose of the proposal was to increase the distributable reserves available
to the Company for the payment of dividends, the buy-back of shares, and for
other corporate purposes.

The proposal received the consent of the Court on 13 May 2025, and the changes
have been registered at Companies House on 20 May 2025. Over time, this will
create additional distributable reserves of £195.5 million.

Material events and transactions after the period end 
The Company paid a dividend of 2.91 pence per Ordinary share on 29 August 2025
to shareholders on the register on 1 August 2025. The Company issued the
following Ordinary shares of nominal value 1 penny per share under the
dividend reinvestment scheme:

 Date of allotment  Number of shares allotted  Issue price  (pence per share)  Net invested  £’000     
 29 August 2025     979,850                    113.31                          1,110                   

There have been no other material events or transactions after the period end
to the date of this announcement.
