facility. The strike rate of the cap as at 31 December 2017 was 1.75%
which caps the Group's cost of borrowing at 3.35% on the hedged notional
amount.It is the Group's target to hedge at least 60% of the Group's
total debt at any time using interest rate derivatives.In accordance with
the Group's treasury risk policy, the Group applies cash flow hedge
accounting in partially hedging the interest rate risks arising on its
variable rate linked loans. Changes in the fair values of derivatives
that are designated as cash flow hedges and are effective are recognised
directly in the cash flow hedge reserve and included in other
comprehensive income. Any ineffectiveness that may arise in this hedge
relationship will be included in profit or loss. The interest rate
derivative valuation is classified as level 2 in the fair value hierarchy
as defined in IFRS 13.

Share allotments and other movements in relation to the capital of the Company in the
period:
On incorporation the Company issued 1 ordinary share of one pence which was fully
paid up and 50,000 redeemable preference shares of £1 each which were paid up to one
quarter of their nominal value. Both of these share classes were issued to Atrato
Capital Limited (see note 19). On 18 July 2017 the Directors resolved to redeem the
50,000 redeemable preference shares.
On 16 June 2017, the Board approved a proposed placing and offer for subscription
(together the 'Placing'). It was intended that the ordinary shares of the Company to
be issued as a result of the Placing would be admitted to trading on the Specialist
Fund Segment of the Main Market of the London Stock Exchange ('Admission').
On 18 July 2017, the Company issued 100 million ordinary shares of one pence each at
a price of £1 per share, raising gross proceeds from the Placing of £100 million.
Admission subsequently took place on 21 July 2017. The consideration received in
excess of the par value of the ordinary shares issued, net of total capitalised issue
costs, of £96.9 million was credited to the share premium reserve.
Following a successful application to the High Court and lodgement of the Company's
statement of capital with the Registrar of Companies, the Company was permitted to
reduce the capital of the Company by an amount of £30 million. This was effected on 7
September 2017 by a transfer of that amount from the share premium reserve to the
capital reduction reserve. The capital reduction reserve is classed as a
distributable reserve and dividends paid by the Company are currently being offset
against this reserve.
