Results of Tender Offer and Final Tender Price

 

Tender Offer Results

 

The Board today announces the results of the Tender Offer, details of which
were set out in a circular to Shareholders published by the Company on 19 June
2025 (the "Circular"). The Tender Offer was approved by Shareholders at a
general meeting of the Company held at 2.30 p.m. on 10 July 2025 and the
Tender Offer closed at 1.00 p.m. on 23 July 2025.

 

A total of 542,234,263 Ordinary Shares, representing 67.1 per cent. of the
Ordinary Shares in issue as at the Record Date (excluding Ordinary Shares held
in treasury), were validly tendered under the Tender Offer. As a result, the
Tender Offer was oversubscribed.

 

The Company will purchase a total of 173,220,974 Ordinary Shares. Shareholders
who validly tendered such number of Ordinary Shares equal to or less than
their Basic Entitlement shall have all tendered Ordinary Shares purchased in
full.  Following a scale-back exercise, Shareholders who validly tendered
such number of Ordinary Shares greater than their Basic Entitlement will have
a number of Ordinary Shares equal to their Basic Entitlement purchased in full
plus approximately 2.9 per cent. of their Excess Applications, in accordance
with the terms of the Tender Offer set out in the Circular.

 

Confirmation of Final Tender Offer Price

 

The Company confirms that the Final Tender Price at which the Tender Offer is
being made is 21.119983 pence per Ordinary Share, equal to the Net Asset Value
per Ordinary Share as at 31 May 2025 less the costs of the Tender Offer. The
Final Tender Price is unchanged from the Indicative Tender Price set out in
the Circular.

 

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 by 30 July 2025 and that cheques and balancing share
certificates for the certificated Ordinary Shares purchased under the Tender
Offer will be despatched by 8 August 2025.

 

Total Voting Rights

 

Following the completion of the Tender Offer, the Company will have
635,361,925 Ordinary Shares in issue, with no Ordinary Shares held in
treasury. Therefore, the total number of voting rights in the Company will be
635,361,925 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 shall, unless the context requires
otherwise, have the meanings ascribed to them in the Circular.

statements include all matters that are not historical facts. These
forward-looking statements are made based upon the Company's expectations and

number of risks and uncertainties. Forward-looking statements are not
guarantees of future performance, and the Company's actual results of

adversely from the forward-looking statements contained in this announcement.
Forward-looking statements speak only as of the day they are made and the
Company does not undertake to update its forward-looking statements unless

Any acceptance or other response to the Tender Offer should be made only on
the basis of information contained in or referred to in the Circular. The
Ciruclar contains important information, including the full terms and
conditions of the Tender Offer, which Shareholders are urged to read
carefully.

 

Winterflood Securities Limited ("Winterflood") is authorised and regulated in
the United Kingdom by the FCA, and is acting exclusively for the Company and
no-one else in relation to the Tender Offer or the matters referred to in this
announcement and will not be responsible to anyone other than the Company for
providing the protections afforded to customers of Winterflood nor for
providing advice in relation to the Tender Offer or the matters referred to in

Overseas Shareholders

 

The distribution of this announcement in certain jurisdictions may be
restricted by law. It is the responsibility of all Overseas Shareholders to
satisfy themselves as to the observance of any legal requirements in their
jurisdiction, including, without limitation, any relevant requirements in
relation to the ability of such holders to participate in the Tender Offer.

 

Notice for U.S. Shareholders

 

The Tender Offer relates to securities in a non-US company which is registered
in England and Wales and listed on the London Stock Exchange and is subject to
the disclosure requirements, rules and practices applicable to companies
listed in the United Kingdom, which differ from those of the United States in
certain material respects. The Circular has been prepared in accordance with
UK style and practice for the purpose of complying with English law and the
rules of the FCA and of the London Stock Exchange. US Shareholders should read
the entire Circular. The financial information relating to the Company
included in the Circular has not been prepared in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles in the United States and thus may not be
comparable to financial information relating to US companies. The Tender Offer
is not subject to the disclosure and other procedural requirements of
Regulation 14D under the Exchange Act. The Tender Offer will be made in the
United States pursuant to Section 14(e) of, and Regulation 14E under, the
Exchange Act, subject to the exemptions provided by Rule 14d-1(d) thereunder
and otherwise in accordance with the requirements of the rules of the FCA.
Accordingly, the Tender Offer will be subject to disclosure and other
procedural requirements that are different from those applicable under US
domestic tender offer procedures and law. US Shareholders should note that the
Company is not listed on a US securities exchange, subject to the periodic
reporting requirements of the Exchange Act or required to, and does not, file
any reports with the SEC thereunder.

 

It may be difficult for US Shareholders to enforce certain rights and claims
arising in connection with the Tender Offer under US federal securities laws
since the Company is located outside the United States and its officers and
directors reside outside the United States. It may not be possible to sue a
non-US company or its officers or directors in a non-US court for violations
of US securities laws. It also may not be possible to compel a non-US company
or its affiliates to subject themselves to a US court's judgment.

 

To the extent permitted by applicable law and in accordance with normal UK
practice, the Company, Winterflood or any of their affiliates, may make
certain purchases of, or arrangements to purchase, Shares outside the United
States during the period in which the Tender Offer remains open for
acceptance, including sales and purchases of Shares effected by Winterflood
acting as market maker in the Shares. These purchases, or other arrangements,
may occur either in the open market at prevailing prices or in private
transactions at negotiated prices. In order to be excepted from the
requirements of Rule 14e-5 under the Exchange Act by virtue of Rule
14e-5(b)(12) thereunder, such purchases, or arrangements to purchase, must
comply with the applicable English law and regulation, including the UK
Listing Rules, and the relevant provisions of the Exchange Act. Any such
purchases by Winterflood or its affiliates will not be made at prices higher
than the price of the Tender Offer provided in the Circular, unless the price
of the Tender Offer is increased accordingly. In addition, in accordance with
normal UK market practice, Winterflood and its affiliates may continue to act
as market makers in the Shares and may engage in certain other purchasing
activities consistent with their respective normal and usual practice and
applicable law. Any information about such purchases will be disclosed as
required in the UK and the United States and, if required, will be reported
via the Regulatory Information Service and available on the London Stock
Exchange website at http://www.londonstockexchange.com
(http://www.londonstockexchange.com) .

 

The receipt of cash pursuant to the Tender Offer may be a taxable transaction
for US federal income tax purposes. In addition, holders may be subject to US
backup withholding and information reporting on payments with respect to the
Tender Offer made (or deemed made) within the United States.

Neither the Tender Offer nor the Circular have been approved, disapproved or
otherwise recommended by the SEC, any US state securities commission or any
other US regulatory authority, nor have such authorities passed upon the
merits or fairness of the Tender Offer or determined the adequacy of the
information contained in the Circular. Any representation to the contrary is a
criminal offence.
