Subscription and Total Voting Rights
MLIT announces that M&M Investment Company Plc ("MMIC"), a company controlled
by Mark Sheppard, the owner of M&L Capital Management Limited, the Company's
Manager, and a controlling shareholder in the Company, has today subscribed for
673,034 new ordinary shares of 25 pence each ("Subscription Shares") at 542.3
pence per share, being the price equal to the latest reported Net Asset Value
("NAV") ("Subscription"). The consideration paid for the Subscription equals GBP
3.65 million.
Brett Miller, Director of the Company, said: "We are very pleased to have the
support of our major shareholder in providing funding at the latest reported
NAV, which is higher than the current market price. The larger the fund gets
the more liquid the trading in its shares become. Liquidity is good".
This transaction is undertaken pursuant to the approval of the resolutions
presented to shareholders at the General Meeting of the Company held on 2 May
2018.
Following the Subscription, Mark Sheppard, via MMIC, will be interested in a
total of 13,724,998 ordinary shares of 25 pence each ("Ordinary Shares") in
MLIT, representing 54.58% of the Company's issued share capital, as enlarged by
the Subscription. The Subscription Shares will rank pari passu with the
existing Ordinary Shares in issue.
Applications are being made to the UK Listing Authority and the London Stock
Exchange for the Subscription Shares to be admitted to the Official List and to
trading on the London Stock Exchange's Main Market for listed securities (the
"Admission"). The Admission is expected to take effect and dealings in the
Subscription Shares will commence at 8:00 am (London Time) on 18 September
2018.
Following Admission, the total number of Ordinary Shares in issue with voting
rights in the Company will be 25,145,019. This figure may be used by
shareholders as the denominator for the calculation by which they may determine
if they are required to notify their interest in, or a change to their interest
in, the Company under the FCA's Disclosure Guidance and Transparency Rules.
