Result of Tender Offer and Tender Price

 

Further to the announcement made by Advance Developing Markets Fund Limited (the "Company") on 29 May 2014 regarding the publication of a circular explaining the terms of a Tender Offer for up to 10 per cent. of the Shares in issue, the Company today announces the result of the Tender Offer and the Tender Price.

 

Result of the Tender Offer

 

A total of 45,252,788 Eligible Shares (being 78.4 per cent. of the Company's Shares in issue as at 7 May 2014) were validly tendered under the Tender Offer. As a result, the Tender Offer was oversubscribed. The Basic Entitlement of all Shareholders who have validly tendered their Shares will be accepted in full and excess tenders will be satisfied to the extent of approximately 1.3257 per cent. of the excess Shares tendered.

 

5,769,467 Shares will be repurchased by the Company under the Tender Offer and cancelled, equating to 10 per cent. of the Company's Shares in issue as at 7 May 2014.

 

It is expected that cheques will be despatched and CREST accounts will be credited with proceeds in respect of successfully tendered Shares and with unsold uncertificated Shares and that the balancing Share certificates and TFE messages in respect of any unpurchased Eligible Shares will be despatched during the week commencing 23 June 2014.

 

Following the implementation of the Tender Offer the Company will have 51,926,229 Shares in issue (excluding 2,692,278 Shares held in Treasury).

Accordingly, 51,926,229 Shares 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 a change to their interests in, the Company under the FCA's Disclosure and Transparency Rules.

 

Tender Price

 

As at the Calculation Date, being close of business on 13 June 2014, the Net Asset Value was 481.33 pence per Share. Accordingly the Tender Price, calculated in accordance with the circular to Shareholders dated 29 May 2014 (the "Circular"), is 473.6622 pence per Share.

 

Terms used in this announcement shall, unless the context otherwise requires, bear the meaning given to them in the Circular.
