Share buy-backs 
During the period from 1 October 2025 to 31 December 2025, the Company
purchased 1,633,670 shares for £1,758,000 (including stamp duty) at an
average price of 107.08 pence per share. All of the shares were cancelled.

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.

The Company paid a dividend of 2.82 pence per Ordinary share on 27 February
2026 to shareholders on the register on 6 February 2026. The Company issued
