Issue of Shares in connection with the payment of Investment Adviser fees

Issue of Shares in connection with the Scrip Dividend Alternative

The Company announces that it has issued today 264,741 ordinary shares of no par value each ("IA Shares") to Sequoia Investment Management Company, the Company's Investment Adviser, in relation to fees payable for the three month period ended 30 September 2020. The IA Shares have been issued pursuant to the Investment Advisory Agreement ("IAA"), details of which were disclosed in the prospectus published by the Company on 10 February 2020.

The IA Shares are being issued at 105.4375 pence per share which represents the closing ordinary share price, on 18 November 2020, of 107.00 pence, less the dividend declared for the three month period ended 30 September 2020 of 1.5625 pence per ordinary share.

The Company further announces that it has issued 618,881 ordinary shares of no par value each to Shareholders electing under the Company's scrip dividend alternative to receive ordinary shares in lieu of cash for the interim dividend for the period from 1 July 2020 to 30 September 2020 ("Scrip Shares"). Elections under the scrip dividend alternative were received in respect of 2.54% of the ordinary shares in issue as at the record date of 23 October 2020. The Scrip Shares are being issued at a price of 106.04 pence per share as announced by the Company on 29 October 2020. When issued, these Scrip Shares will rank pari passu with the existing ordinary shares.

Applications will be made for the IA Shares and the Scrip Shares (together, "New Shares") to be admitted to the premium segment of the Official List, and to trading on the London Stock Exchange's Main Market for listed securities ("Admission"). It is expected that Admission will become effective and dealings in the New Shares will commence at 8am on 27 November 2020. The New Shares will rank pari passu with the ordinary shares already in issue.

Following Admission, the Company's issued share capital will consist of 1,657,237,553 ordinary shares. Therefore, the total number of voting rights of the Company is 1,657,237,553 and this figure may be used by shareholders as the denominator for the calculations by which they will determine if they are required to notify their interest in, or of a change to their interest in, the Company under the FCA's Disclosure and Transparency Rules.
