Holdings in the Company

Investment Manager's Holding

RMDL, an investment trust specialising in secured debt investments, announces that RM Capital Markets Limited (the "Investment Manager") acquired 29,084 ordinary shares of 1 pence each ("Ordinary Shares") in the Company at 101.5 pence per share on 16 April 2019.

This purchase was made pursuant to the Investment Manager's commitment to invest 50 per cent. of its management fee, on a quarterly basis, in Ordinary Shares. Under the Investment Manager agreement, any Ordinary Shares purchased in connection with such reinvestment are subject to a lock-in period of 12 months from the date of purchase. Therefore, with the agreement of the Board, 92,214 ordinary shares which were acquired by the Investment Manager prior to 16 April 2018, now being eligible for sale, have been netted off against the 121,298 ordinary shares which would have otherwise been acquired on 16 April 2019.

Following the purchase and taking into account a distribution of its holding to some staff members of the Investment Manager as part of its 2018 remuneration policy, the Investment Manager's total holding of Ordinary Shares is 961,008.
