Dividend announcement 
 
 
 
 
On 13 January 2010, we announced that we had declared a large interim dividend 
which would take total distributions to 50p per share. We also stated that we 
were targeting a further dividend of 10p per share subject to the expected 
completion of the disposal of another major unquoted holding with the qualifying 
portfolio. 
 
 
We are pleased to confirm that the completion occurred and, as a result of this 
and other realisations, the Board have approved a further interim dividend of 
15p per Ordinary Share. The ex-dividend date will be 3 February 2010 and the 
record date 5 February 2010. Payment will be made to shareholders on 17 
February 2010. 
 
 
This dividend will bring distributions to date to 65p per Ordinary Share. On the 
initial investment of GBP1, Shareholders who received 40p of tax relief have now 
been returned more than their original investment. 
 
 
As at yesterday's date, after accounting for this dividend, the Company's 
residual net assets are estimated at GBP4.8m, equivalent to 40p per share on a 
fully diluted basis. This does not take account of winding up or other costs.
