Shareholder Update

The Board advises that in relation to the portfolio disposal process, at close of 2 December 2016 a total of 76 policies had been fully transferred to the buyers, Vida Longevity L.P and Life Equity LLC and aggregate funds of US$43 million had been received. Funds received include the refund of associated premium payments made since the risk transfer date of 12 September to keep the policies valid and in effect.

There are four policies remaining in the transfer process for which aggregate funds of US$967,000 (equivalent to approximately 1p per share) are due to be received (including the refund of associated premium payments); the outstanding transfers are expected to complete shortly.

In accordance with the Board's cash policy, the majority of funds received have been converted into Sterling, retaining only sufficient US Dollars for payables due. The Company's current cash balances amount to GBGBP38.8 million and US$287,847. Following the appointment of Liquidators, as referred to below, the Liquidators may, but shall not be obliged to, make interim liquidation distributions to Shareholders followed by a final distribution. The Board has been advised that the Liquidators currently anticipate making a first distribution to Shareholders in early January 2017.

The net asset value of the Company at 30 November 2016, taking into account provision for estimated running costs of the Company and expenses which may be incurred in the proposed liquidation process was 54.3 pence per share. The associated exchange rate at 30 November was GBP1/US$1.249. This figure may also be used as the estimate for the final asset value, although this figure is provided for information only.
