Corporate update

The Board of Directors announced on 18 November 2015 that it would not make any new investments (other than further funding of existing investments where such funding was reasonably required in the interests of shareholders) and that it would seek to make distributions to shareholders in the most appropriate manner, following the completion of investments. A dividend of 4p per share was paid in the six months ended 30(th) June 2018.

The Board now believes that the costs to shareholders of continuing the Company in operation and maintaining an AIM listing are now outweighed by the benefits of winding-up, de-listing and liquidation.

The Chairman expects to write to shareholders shortly with details of an Extraordinary General Meeting with proposals to wind-up, de-list and appoint liquidators.
