Material Events and Transactions

Half Year Report

The half year report to 30 June 2013 was mailed to shareholders on 23 August
2013.

Dividends

On 1 August 2013 the Board announced that it had reviewed the revenue
projection for the Company for the year ending 31 December 2013 and the current
level of the revenue reserve. The Board said that it was committed to a
progressive dividend strategy and intended to continue to distribute a base
dividend that related to the level of earnings. The Board therefore proposed to
increase the second interim base dividend for 2013 by 11.76% to 1.9p compared
to the 1.7p per Ordinary share paid for the equivalent period in 2012. In
addition, subject to unforeseen circumstances, the Board said it intended to
run down the Company's substantial revenue reserve by making additional
distributions of 0.75p per quarter and anticipated being in a position to
maintain these additional distributions through to the Company's currently
anticipated winding up date on 31 December 2015. The additional 0.75p per
quarter distribution would commence with the second interim dividend payment in
2013. Accordingly the Company announced a second interim dividend for the year
ending 31 December 2013 of 2.65p per Ordinary share comprised of a base
dividend of 1.9p and an additional dividend of 0.75p. This second interim
dividend was paid on 30 September 2013 to members on the register at the close
of business on 30 August 2013. The Ordinary shares were marked ex-dividend on
28 August 2013.

On 15 October 2013, the Company declared a third interim dividend for the year
ending 31 December 2013 of 2.65p per Ordinary share comprised of a base
dividend of 1.9p, compared to the 1.7p per Ordinary share paid in the
equivalent period in 2012 and an additional dividend of 0.75p per Ordinary
share in accordance with the policy announced in August 2013 to run down the
Company's revenue reserve. This third interim dividend will be paid on 31
December 2013 to members on the register at the close of business on 29
November 2013. The Ordinary shares will be marked ex-dividend on 27 November
2013.
