Gearing Ratio as calculated in accordance with the guidelines of the
Association of Investment Companies, was 9.5%. Gearing is made up of
structural debt provided by the subsidiary company PCGH ZDP plc, through the
issue of zero dividend preference (ZDP) shares.

 

The ZDP asset cover as of 30(th) November 2023 was 11.39x. This ratio is
calculated by dividing the Company's net asset value, adjusted to add back the
current value of the structural debt, by the final redemption value of the
ZDP shares.
