Results of Discount Trigger Meeting
 

9 March 2017

The Company today announces the results of the Discount Trigger Meeting held at 10.30 am today, at which the Discount Trigger Resolution contained in the circular to shareholders dated 17 February 2017 (the “Circular”) was passed on a poll. Accordingly, the Company will redeem all shares which were voted in favour of the Discount Trigger Resolution in accordance with the expected timetable set out below.

The votes cast in respect of the Discount Trigger Resolution (which was passed as an ordinary resolution) were as follows:

Votes for:                            5,389,739 (91.73% of shares voted)

Votes against:                   486,219 (8.27% of shares voted)

Votes withheld:                               0 (0% of shares voted)

A vote "withheld" is not a vote in law and is not counted in the calculation of the proportion of the votes for and against a resolution.

All Redeeming Shares will be redeemed by the Company on 1 August 2017. The Redeeming Shares represent approximately 57.6% of the 9,349,317 shares currently in issue (excluding shares held in treasury). 

Redeeming Shareholders will receive the Redeeming Share Redemption Proceeds in four quarterly instalments following each of 1 August and 1 November 2017 and 1 February and 1 May 2018, subject to the retention of a Hold-back Amount in certain circumstances, as more fully described in the Circular.

The amount of each instalment of the Redeeming Share Redemption Proceeds will be calculated by reference to the prevailing Net Asset Value per Share on each such Quarterly Redemption Date, less (to the extent that it is not already reflected in such Net Asset Value) a portion of the costs and expenses incurred by the Company in relation to, or arising from, the convening of the Discount Trigger Meeting or implementing other measures connected with the Discount Trigger Meeting, and the portion of IPO Offer Costs attributable to the Redeeming Shares, as more fully described in the Circular.

Following the results of the Discount Trigger Meeting the Board in conjunction with the Manager will review the structure of the Company and consider the extent to which the Company’s ongoing cost and expenses may be reduced. 

A further announcement will be made in due course.
