Service of Protective Notice

Further to the announcement by the Company on 9 March 2026 concerning its
investment management arrangements, the Board announces that the Company has
agreed six months' protective notice with its investment manager, CQS (UK)
LLP, part of the Manulife group ("CQS"). If formal notice of termination is
served by the Company prior to 30 June 2026, the six months' notice period, as
per the Investment Management Agreement, will be deemed to have started
on 13 March 2026.

The Company continues to consider a number of options at its disposal. In the
meantime, during Keith Watson's and Robert Crayfourd's notice period, CQS have
engaged two senior Manulife Investment Management Group portfolio managers,
Diana Racanelli and Craig Bethune, to work together with Keith and Robert in
the management of the portfolio. Keith Watson and Robert Crayfourd will remain
the named Portfolio Managers and there is no change to the Company's
investment process, strategy or operations.

Taking this action is in the best interests of shareholders as the Company
continues to explore its options for the long term. A further update will be
provided in due course.

Diana Racanelli and Craig Bethune, based in Toronto, are senior portfolio
managers at Manulife Investment Management, have been with Manulife for the
past 12 years, and together manage USD415 million in metals and mining, and
energy assets together with a further USD1,238 million in metals & mining
