Results of Quarterly Tender Offer
LEI: 213800HQ3J3H9YF2UI82
2 September 2026
Further to the quarterly tender offer launched by the Company on 6 August 2026 (the "Tender Offer") for up to 15 per cent. of the Company's issued Shares (excluding any Shares held in treasury), the Company today announces:
· that 3,885,283 Shares were validly tendered pursuant to the Tender Offer, equal to approximately 8.37 per cent. of the 46,432,942 Shares in issue (excluding any Shares held in treasury); and
· that at the General Meeting held at 11.00 a.m. today at the offices of Columbia Threadneedle, 78 Cannon Street, London EC4N 6AG on 2 September 2026, each of the resolutions proposed was duly passed on a poll.
The maximum number of Shares to be acquired under the Tender Offer is 6,998,907 Shares, representing 15 per cent. of the Shares in issue (excluding any Shares held in treasury) as at 5 August 2026, being the latest practicable date prior to the publication of the Circular (the "Available Shares").
Accordingly, Eligible Shareholders who validly tendered a percentage of their Shares equal to or less than their Basic Entitlement shall have all tendered Shares purchased in full under the Tender Offer and Eligible Shareholders who validly tendered a percentage of Shares greater than their Basic Entitlement will have an amount of Shares equal to their Basic Entitlement purchased in full plus 100 per cent. of their Excess Applications (if any), in accordance with the process described in the circular announcing the Tender Offer (the "Circular").
After taking account of the rounding down of each valid applicant's participation to the nearest whole Share, the Company will purchase in aggregate 3,885,283 Shares under the Tender Offer.
The price at which tendered Shares will be purchased (the "Tender Price") will be equal to the prevailing Net Asset Value per Share as at the Calculation Date of 1 September 2026 less the Tender Offer Expenses per Share. The final Tender Price for successfully tendered Shares will be announced later today.
