Results of Tender Offer and Final Tender Price

Tender Offer Results

The Board today announces the results of the Tender Offer, details of which were set out in a circular to Shareholders published by the Company on 19 June 2025 (the "Circular"). The Tender Offer was approved by Shareholders at a general meeting of the Company held at 2.30 p.m. on 10 July 2025 and the Tender Offer closed at 1.00 p.m. on 23 July 2025.

A total of 542,234,263 Ordinary Shares, representing 67.1 per cent. of the Ordinary Shares in issue as at the Record Date (excluding Ordinary Shares held in treasury), were validly tendered under the Tender Offer. As a result, the Tender Offer was oversubscribed.

The Company will purchase a total of 173,220,974 Ordinary Shares. Shareholders who validly tendered such number of Ordinary Shares equal to or less than their Basic Entitlement shall have all tendered Ordinary Shares purchased in full.  Following a scale-back exercise, Shareholders who validly tendered such number of Ordinary Shares greater than their Basic Entitlement will have a number of Ordinary Shares equal to their Basic Entitlement purchased in full plus approximately 2.9 per cent. of their Excess Applications, in accordance with the terms of the Tender Offer set out in the Circular.

Confirmation of Final Tender Offer Price

The Company confirms that the Final Tender Price at which the Tender Offer is being made is 21.119983 pence per Ordinary Share, equal to the Net Asset Value per Ordinary Share as at 31 May 2025 less the costs of the Tender Offer. The Final Tender Price is unchanged from the Indicative Tender Price set out in the Circular. 

As previously announced, it is anticipated that the proceeds payable to Shareholders whose tendered Ordinary Shares are held through CREST accounts are expected to be made by 30 July 2025 and that cheques and balancing share certificates for the certificated Ordinary Shares purchased under the Tender Offer will be despatched by 8 August 2025.

Total Voting Rights

Following the completion of the Tender Offer, the Company will have 635,361,925 Ordinary Shares in issue, with no Ordinary Shares held in treasury. Therefore, the total number of voting rights in the Company will be 635,361,925 and this figure may be used by Shareholders as the denominator for calculations by which they will determine if they are required to notify their interest in, or a change to their interest in, the Company under the Financial Conduct Authority's Disclosure Guidance and Transparency Rules.

Defined terms used in this announcement shall, unless the context requires otherwise, have the meanings ascribed to them in the Circular.

Notice for U.S. Shareholders

The Tender Offer relates to securities in a non-US company which is registered in England and Wales and listed on the London Stock Exchange and is subject to the disclosure requirements, rules and practices applicable to companies listed in the United Kingdom, which differ from those of the United States in certain material respects. The Circular has been prepared in accordance with UK style and practice for the purpose of complying with English law and the rules of the FCA and of the London Stock Exchange. US Shareholders should read the entire Circular. The financial information relating to the Company included in the Circular has not been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States and thus may not be comparable to financial information relating to US companies. The Tender Offer is not subject to the disclosure and other procedural requirements of Regulation 14D under the Exchange Act. The Tender Offer will be made in the United States pursuant to Section 14(e) of, and Regulation 14E under, the Exchange Act, subject to the exemptions provided by Rule 14d-1(d) thereunder and otherwise in accordance with the requirements of the rules of the FCA. Accordingly, the Tender Offer will be subject to disclosure and other procedural requirements that are different from those applicable under US domestic tender offer procedures and law. US Shareholders should note that the Company is not listed on a US securities exchange, subject to the periodic reporting requirements of the Exchange Act or required to, and does not, file any reports with the SEC thereunder.

It may be difficult for US Shareholders to enforce certain rights and claims arising in connection with the Tender Offer under US federal securities laws since the Company is located outside the United States and its officers and directors reside outside the United States. It may not be possible to sue a non-US company or its officers or directors in a non-US court for violations of US securities laws. It also may not be possible to compel a non-US company or its affiliates to subject themselves to a US court's judgment.

To the extent permitted by applicable law and in accordance with normal UK practice, the Company, Winterflood or any of their affiliates, may make certain purchases of, or arrangements to purchase, Shares outside the United States during the period in which the Tender Offer remains open for acceptance, including sales and purchases of Shares effected by Winterflood acting as market maker in the Shares. These purchases, or other arrangements, may occur either in the open market at prevailing prices or in private transactions at negotiated prices. In order to be excepted from the requirements of Rule 14e-5 under the Exchange Act by virtue of Rule 14e-5(b)(12) thereunder, such purchases, or arrangements to purchase, must comply with the applicable English law and regulation, including the UK Listing Rules, and the relevant provisions of the Exchange Act. Any such purchases by Winterflood or its affiliates will not be made at prices higher than the price of the Tender Offer provided in the Circular, unless the price of the Tender Offer is increased accordingly. In addition, in accordance with normal UK market practice, Winterflood and its affiliates may continue to act as market makers in the Shares and may engage in certain other purchasing activities consistent with their respective normal and usual practice and applicable law. Any information about such purchases will be disclosed as required in the UK and the United States and, if required, will be reported via the Regulatory Information Service and available on the London Stock Exchange website at http://www.londonstockexchange.com.

The receipt of cash pursuant to the Tender Offer may be a taxable transaction for US federal income tax purposes. In addition, holders may be subject to US backup withholding and information reporting on payments with respect to the Tender Offer made (or deemed made) within the United States.

Neither the Tender Offer nor the Circular have been approved, disapproved or otherwise recommended by the SEC, any US state securities commission or any other US regulatory authority, nor have such authorities passed upon the merits or fairness of the Tender Offer or determined the adequacy of the information contained in the Circular. Any representation to the contrary is a criminal offence.
