3 FEBRUARY 2015

NEW CITY HIGH YIELD FUND LIMITED
(the "company")

ISSUE OF EQUITY

The Company announces that, conditional only on Admission becoming effective, it has allotted, by way of a tap issue in response to market demand, 10,250,000 new ordinary shares of no par value (the "New Shares") for cash, at a price of 60.50p per share, a premium to the Company's net asset value.  The New Shares will rank pari passu with the existing ordinary shares.

Applications have been made for the New Shares to be admitted to the premium segment of the FCA's official list and to the London Stock Exchange's main market ("Admission").   Such admissions are expected to become effective, and dealings in the New Shares are expected to commence on 6 February 2015. 

Following the issue of the New Shares, the Company's issued share capital will consist of 315,549,173 ordinary shares, none of which are held in treasury.  Accordingly, with effect from 6 February 2015, the total number of voting rights in the Company will be 315,549,173 and that 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, or a change to their interest, in the Company under the FCA's Disclosure and Transparency Rules.
