COMPULSORY REDEMPTION OF SHARES AND TOTAL VOTING RIGHTS

 

Further to the announcement on 25 June 2025, the Company confirms that it has,
after close of business on 9 July 2025 (the "Redemption Date"), compulsorily
redeemed 42,931,567 ordinary shares ("Shares") at a price of 163.05 pence per
Share, being equal to the prevailing Net Asset Value per Share as at the
Redemption Date, for cancellation.

On this basis a holder of 100,000 Shares had 61,981 Shares redeemed, and
received GBP101,060 in cash. 

Fractions of Shares have not been redeemed and so the number of Shares
redeemed from each Shareholder has been rounded down to the nearest whole
number of Shares.

The new ISIN number GG00BT26K977 in respect of the remaining Shares which have
not been redeemed, has been enabled and is available for transactions from
8.00 a.m. today, 10 July 2025.

In conformity with the FCA's Disclosure Guidance and Transparency Rules
("DTRs"), following the redemption and cancellation, the Company's issued
share capital consists of 38,086,261 Shares, each carrying the right to one
vote, of which 11,752,246 Shares are held in treasury.

Accordingly, the figure 26,334,015 represents the total voting rights in the
Company and may be used by Shareholders as the denominator for the
calculations by which they can determine if they are required to notify their
interest in, or a change to their interest in the Company under the DTRs.

Payments of redemption monies are expected to be effected either through CREST
(in the case of Shares held in uncertificated form) or by cheque (in the case
of Shares held in certificated form) on 23 July 2025, or as soon as
practicable thereafter.

Capitalised terms used but not defined in this announcement will have the same
meaning as set out in the circular of the Company published on 19 March 2025.
