Update on shareholder returns

 

The Fund previously announced, based on the Investment Manager's assessment of
the status and timing of anticipated corporate transactions, that it was
targeting additional shareholder returns of at least £40 million or 50 pence
per Share before 30 June 2022. The payment of the 10p a share dividend to
Shareholders on 9 February 2022, representing a gross return of £8.3 million,
was the first shareholder return towards achieving that target.

 

As stated in the Company's circular to convene an EGM (extraordinary general
meeting), dated 15 February 2022, the Fund, having consulted with several
shareholders, determined it was no longer considered to be in the interests of
the Fund to impose a fixed deadline but would retain 30 June 2022 as a target.

 

The Fund is pleased to provide an update on shareholder returns based on the
Investment Manager's and the Board's current assessment of the status and
timing of anticipated corporate transactions. Following the payment of the 10p
a share dividend to shareholders in February 2022 (representing a gross return
of £8.3 million), the Fund expects to return a further 10p a share
(representing a gross return of £8.3 million) by mid-August 2022 and to have
returned an additional 60p a share (equivalent to £50 million) by the end of
September 2022. If these distributions can be achieved, this would bring total
returns in the first nine months of 2022 to 80p a share (equivalent to £66.6
million).
