Possible Changes to Investment Advisory Agreement

 

International Public Partnerships Limited (INPP), the FTSE 250 listed infrastructure investment company, notes recent comment around its investment advisory agreement ("IAA") with Amber Fund Management Limited ("Amber") and particularly the payment of performance fees under it.

 

INPP confirms that it is in cooperative and helpful discussions with Amber as to possible changes to the terms of the IAA.  These conversations are ongoing and include consideration of the performance fee arrangements contained within the IAA.

 

The Board believes that under the terms of the IAA a performance fee is due to Amber for the period 1 January 2013 to 30 June 2013.  The amount of this will be determined as part of the 2013 half year reporting process and announced at the Company's interim results in August. The Board's expectation is that the final determination of the fee will be in the order of 1.0% to 1.25% of NAV.

 

The Board expects fees as well as other aspects of the IAA to be the subject of the ongoing discussions with Amber and Amber have volunteered to defer receipt of any performance fee until after the release of the interim results in August 2013 by which time the Board expects to have concluded the wider discussions relating to the IAA.

 

INPP and Amber continue to have a strong cordial and long term relationship.
