Material events

 
o  Over the quarter, NAV decreased marginally 
    to GBP1,897m from GBP1,899m. The NAV per 
    share total return for the quarter was 
    0.2%. Unquoted investments are revalued 
    in March and September. Consequently, the 
    NAV at 30 June 2017 did not include any 
    valuation adjustments to unquoted investments 
    in the past three months. 
 
o  Investments during the period totalled 
    GBP49.7m, including GBP30.7m in fund commitment 
    drawdowns. 
 
o  Realisations during the period totalled 
    GBP73.9m, including GBP50.6m from the sale 
    of part of the shareholding in Cobehold 
    (the holding company of Cobepa, the private 
    Belgian investment company) and GBP13.8m 
    from fund distributions. 
 
o  A final dividend of 39.9p per share was 
    proposed on 25 May 2017, an increase in 
    annual dividend of 4.2% over the previous 
    year. Subject to approval by shareholders 
    at the annual general meeting to be held 
    on 20 July 2017, the dividend, totalling 
    GBP21.9m, will be paid on 3 August 2017 
    to holders of ordinary shares on the register 
    on 7 July 2017. The ex-dividend date is 
    6 July 2017. 
 
o  A special dividend of 100.0p per share 
    was also proposed on 25 May 2017. Subject 
    to approval by shareholders at the forthcoming 
    annual general meeting, the dividend, totalling 
    GBP54.9m, will be paid in conjunction with 
    the final dividend. 
 
o  At the beginning of July 2017, Caledonia 
    increased its committed bank facilities 
    from GBP175m to GBP250m, to provide greater 
    flexibility in managing its short term 
    liquidity. Committed bank facilities were 
    undrawn.
