Partial Compulsory Redemption of Shares
This announcement contains inside information
Further to the approval given by the Company's Shareholders on 6
April 2020 to enable compulsory redemptions of the Ordinary Shares
and C Shares (as described in the Circular to Shareholders dated 13
March 2020), the Company today announces that it will return an
aggregate amount of approximately USD 18.82m on 18 May 2020 (the
"Redemption Date") by way of a compulsory partial redemption of up
to 17,324,840 Ordinary Shares and 27,514,047 C Shares (the "Second
Redemption"). Approximately 6.63% of the Company's total issued
share capital will be redeemed (consisting of 6.06% of the Ordinary
Shares currently in issue, and 7.04% of the C Shares).
The Second Redemption will be effected at USD 0.2669 per
Ordinary Share and USD 0.5161 per C Share, being the relevant
respective NAV per Ordinary Share and NAV per C Share, as at 31
March 2020. The Redemption will be effected pro rata to holdings of
Ordinary Shares and C Shares respectively on the register at the
close of business on the Redemption Date, which is the record date
for the purposes of the Second Redemption, being 18 May 2020. As at
today's date, the Company has 285,916,836 Ordinary Shares and
390,878,860 C Shares in issue, the total number of Shares in issue
being 675,795,696.
Fractions of Ordinary Shares and C Shares will not be redeemed
and so the number of Ordinary Shares and C Shares to be redeemed
for each shareholder will be rounded down to the nearest whole
number of Ordinary Shares and C Shares, as appropriate.
The amount to be applied to the partial redemption of Ordinary
Shares and C Shares comprises monies from the Company's existing
cash balances.
All Ordinary Shares and C Shares that are redeemed will be
cancelled with effect from the relevant Redemption Date.
Accordingly, once redeemed, Ordinary Shares and C Shares will be
incapable of transfer.
The Ordinary Shares and C Shares will be disabled in CREST after
close of business on the Redemption Date and the existing ISIN
numbers, BMG1961Q1758 for the Ordinary Shares and BMG1961Q1675 for
the C Shares, (the "Old ISINs") will expire.
The new ISIN numbers, which are BMG1961Q1832 in respect of the
remaining Ordinary Shares and BMG1961Q1915 in respect of the
remaining C Shares which have not been redeemed (the "New ISINs")
will be enabled and available for transactions from and including
19 May 2020.
Up to and including the Redemption Date, Ordinary Shares and C
Shares will continue to be traded under the Old ISINs and as such,
a purchaser of such Ordinary Shares or C Shares, as the case may
be, would have a market claim for a proportion of the redemption
proceeds. CREST will automatically transform any open transactions
as at the Redemption Date into the New ISINs.
Shareholders should note that the Board retains absolute
discretion as to the execution, extent and timing of any further
returns of capital.
