THIS ANNOUNCEMENT CONTAINS INSIDE INFORMATION AS DEFINED UNDER

******
20 January 2021
SME Credit Realisation Fund Limited
(the "Company")
PUBLICATION OF NAV AND RETURN OF CAPITAL
Net Asset Value ("NAV")
At 31 December 2020, the NAV attributable to the shares of SME
Credit Realisation Fund Limited was GBP138.72 million (30 September
2020: GBP179.25 million). The NAV per Share as at 31 December 2020
was 84.77 pence (30 September 2020: 83.86 pence).
The total NAV return for the period 1 October 2020 to 31
December 2020 was 2.64%.
The Company has published its quarterly factsheet to the end of
December 2020, containing information about the Company's financial
position, performance and prospects, which is available at the
Company's website at
https://www.smecreditrealisation.com/documents/factsheets .
Return of capital
The Company intends to continue returning surplus cash to
shareholders on a quarterly basis; that is broadly speaking loan
principal and interest receipts, less operating expenses, less any
FX margin reserve maintenance requirements.
Dividend declaration
The Company announces that it has declared a quarterly dividend
of 1.3125 pence per share payable in February 2021. The ex-dividend
date is 28 January 2021 with a record date of 29 January 2021 and a
payment date of 19 February 2021.
Compulsory share redemption
The Company will return approximately GBP25.0 million to
shareholders by way of a compulsory partial redemption of shares
(the "Redemption") at 84.77 pence per share, being the NAV per
share as at 31 December 2020, with payment on 05 February 2021 (the
"Redemption Date"). On this basis, approximately 18.0% of each
registered shareholding will be redeemed on 27 January 2021 (the
"Redemption Record Date").
As at today's date, the Company has 163,656,408 shares in issue.
The Company holds no shares in treasury.
Fractions of shares will not be redeemed and so the number of
shares to be redeemed for each shareholder will be rounded down to
the nearest whole number of shares.
All shares that are redeemed will be cancelled with effect from
the Redemption Record Date. Accordingly, once redeemed, shares will
be incapable of transfer.
The shares will all be disabled in CREST after close of business
on the Redemption Record Date and the existing ISIN number
GG00BMF75J31 (the "Old ISIN") will expire.
The new ISIN number GG00BM9TKG74 (the "New ISIN") in respect of
the remaining shares which have not been redeemed will be enabled
and available for transactions from and including the following
business day, 28 January 2021. The February 2021 dividend payment
will be payable after the Redemption Record Date to shareholders of
the remaining shares with the new ISIN number.
Up to and including the Redemption Record Date, shares will be
traded under the Old ISIN and as such, a purchaser of such shares
would have a market claim for a proportion of the redemption
proceeds. CREST will automatically transform any open transactions
as at the Redemption Record Date into the New ISIN.
