LMS Capital plc (the "Company")

Tender Offer

Further to the announcement made by the Company on 13 June 2013, the Company has today published a circular (the "Circular") to Shareholders setting out details of a tender offer to return up to £35 million to shareholders (the "Tender Offer").

The Tender Offer is available to Shareholders (other than certain overseas Shareholders) on the Register as at the close of business on 22 July 2013. Shareholders may tender more, equal to or less than their Basic Entitlement, though tenders in excess of a Shareholder's Basic Entitlement will only be accepted to the extent that other Shareholders tender less than their Basic Entitlement and will be satisfied on a pro rata basis. 

The Tender Offer Price will be calculated on 29 July 2013 based on the published unaudited net asset value of the Company as at 30 June 2013 adjusted, in a manner consistent with the Company's accounting policies, to take into account price movements in quoted investments, changes in foreign currency rates of exchange and purchases and sales of investments between 30 June 2013 and the close of business on 28 July 2013.

The Tender Offer Price will be calculated by dividing this adjusted net asset value by the number of Ordinary Shares in issue at the close of business on 28 July 2013.

A General Meeting will be held at 11.30 a.m. on Monday 29 July 2013 at Durrants Hotel, George Street, London W1H 5BJ to seek the Shareholder approval required to implement the Tender Offer.  If such approval is obtained at the General Meeting, the Tender Offer is expected to take place on 30 July 2013. Full details of the Tender Offer timetable, mechanics and settlement procedure are set out in the Circular.
