Weiss Korea Opportunity Fund Ltd.

(a closed-ended investment scheme incorporated with limited liability
under the laws of Guernsey with registration number 56535)
LEI Number: 213800GXKGJVWN3BF511

 

COMPULSORY REDEMPTION OF SHARES AND TOTAL VOTING RIGHTS

 

Further to the announcement on 23 September 2025, the Company confirms that it
has, after close of business on 7 October 2025 (the "Redemption Date"),
compulsorily redeemed 21,718,845 ordinary shares ("Shares") at a price of
161.15 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 82,474 Shares redeemed, and will
receive GBP132,907 in cash on 21 October 2025, or as soon as practicable
thereafter. 

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 GG00BVN74803 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, 8 October 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 16,367,416 Shares, each carrying the right to one
vote, of which 11,752,246 Shares are held in treasury.

Accordingly, the figure 4,615,170 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 21 October 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.
