Tender offer
The Board of The Eastern European Trust PLC (the `Company') is mindful of the
share price discount to NAV at which the Company's shares trade. During 2010
the Board introduced a package of measures, described in a circular to
shareholders dated 1 June 2010 (the `Circular'), aimed at reducing the
Company's discount. The package of measures included discretionary, periodic
tender offers.
In the period since the Company's general meeting on 7 July 2010 the discount
has averaged 8.8%. Whilst the Board is pleased to note the downward trend in
the level of the discount, the Board wishes to announce that it will be exercising
its discretion and offering a periodic tender for up to 7.5% of the Company's shares
in issue (excluding treasury shares) as at the close of business on 24 January 2011 at
a discount of 2% to Formula Asset Value (NAV less the costs of the tender offer). The
record date for participation in the tender offer was the close of business on 24 July 2010.
The Board intends to post a circular to shareholders during December 2010
containing details of the tender offer and the procedure for tendering shares.
As set out in the Circular, shareholders should place no expectation or
reliance on the Board exercising its discretion to operate a periodic tender
offer on any occasion in the future.
