                                                                                           At 30 June 2025   At 31 March 2025

The NAV per share has decreased by 1.29 pence in the quarter. This decrease
was principally due to a dividend payment of 2.50 pence per share paid on 11
April 2025 partially offset by an increase in the unrealised valuation of the
portfolio. Adjusting for the dividend payment on a total return basis, the NAV
per share increased by 1.21 pence, or 1.8% during the quarter.
