Placing Announcement
On 13 July 2010, the Board announced that, in view of the Company's performance, it was considering a further issue of shares.
After due consideration, the Board has concluded that it is an appropriate time to seek to raise additional capital in order to broaden the Company's investment base, thus potentially improving market liquidity for all Shareholders.
Accordingly, the Board is pleased to announce a proposed private placement of shares in the Company.
The Company is seeking to raise up to £50 million by way of the placing at a placing price which will be calculated by applying a premium of two per cent. to the unaudited net asset value per share as at the close of business on 10 September 2010. The placing price is expected to be announced on 13 September 2010.
The Company will publish a prospectus in relation to the placing on or around 2 September 2010, subject to the relevant regulatory approvals.
