Tender Offer
Further, the Company announces the result of its Tender Offer, which was
announced on 3 September 2024. The Tender Offer was taken up in full and as
such, the Company will purchase a total of 19,738,338 Ordinary Shares at the
Tender Price of 88.59 pence per share (equivalent to the Company's NAV as at
30 August 2024).
19,438,134 Ordinary Shares were tendered in applications that will be met
under the Basic Entitlement of Shareholders and a further 300,204 Ordinary
Shares were tendered by Shareholders wishing to share in the Basic
Entitlements which were not taken up by others (the Excess Applications).
Eligible Shareholders who validly tendered a percentage of their Ordinary
Shares equal to or less than their Basic Entitlement shall have all tendered
Ordinary Shares purchased in full under the Tender Offer. Eligible
Shareholders who validly tendered Excess Applications shall have their Basic
Entitlement and a pro rata proportion of their Excess Applications purchased
pursuant to the Tender Offer.
Subject to the remaining conditions under the Repurchase Agreement having been
met, Singer Capital Markets will purchase 19,738,338 Ordinary Shares by means
of an on-market purchase from tendering Shareholders. Subject to Singer
Capital Markets requiring the Company to repurchase such Ordinary Shares in
accordance with the terms of the Repurchase Agreement, Singer Capital Markets
will then sell the tendered Ordinary Shares acquired by it on to the Company
pursuant to the terms of the Repurchase Agreement. All Ordinary Shares
acquired by the Company from Singer Capital Markets under the Repurchase
Agreement will be cancelled.
As previously announced, it is anticipated that the proceeds payable to
Shareholders whose tendered Ordinary Shares are held through CREST accounts
are expected to be made on 30 September 2024 and that cheques and balance
share certificates for the certificated Ordinary Shares purchased under the
Tender Offer will be despatched on 30 September 2024.
Total Voting Rights
Following the completion of the Tender Offer, the Company will have 97,848,021
Ordinary Shares in issue, with 179,569 Ordinary Shares held in treasury.
Therefore, the total number of voting rights in the Company will be 97,668,452
and this figure may be used by Shareholders as the denominator for
calculations by which they will determine if they are required to notify their
interest in, or a change to their interest in, the Company under the Financial
Conduct Authority's Disclosure Guidance and Transparency Rules.
Defined terms used in this announcement have the meanings given in the Tender
Circular unless the context otherwise requires.
