Share Buyback Authority
The Company is restating on a RNS the details of its current
share buyback authority.
This authority was renewed at the Company's AGM on 27 April
2017, which granted authority for the purchase of a maximum of
26,860,811 of its ordinary shares. To date, 550,841 shares have
been repurchased under this authority, leaving a maximum available
buyback authority of 26,309,970 shares. Such authority shall expire
at the conclusion of the next annual general meeting of the Company
or on 26 October 2018 (whichever is earlier).
Buybacks under the authority may be funded from the Company's
own cash resources or, if appropriate, from short term borrowings.
No maximum consideration payable has been determined by the
Company, but repurchases will be conducted in accordance with the
Listing Rules and the Company is additionally unable to pay a price
for any shares pursuant to its buyback authority which would equate
to a premium on the net asset value. Shares bought back are held in
treasury and will be re-sold only at, or at a premium to, the
prevailing net asset value per share at the time of issue
The Company has entered into an agreement with J.P. Morgan
Securities plc (JPMS plc) under which it will instruct JPMS plc.
JPMS plc will carry out the instructions through the acquisition of
ordinary shares in the Company for subsequent repurchase by the
Company. This arrangement is in accordance with Chapter 12 of the
UKLA Listing Rules and the Company's general authority to
repurchase shares.
