Issue of Equity and Total Voting Rights
The Company announces that it has today allotted and issued 853,114 new B ordinary shares of 1p each in the Company (“B Shares”).
The shares were issued pursuant to an offer for subscription for B Shares launched on 13 October 2020 to raise, in aggregate, up to £10 million with an over-allotment facility of up to a further £10 million (before issue costs) (the "Offer").
Pursuant to the Offer, and the £854,500 of valid applications received since 7 December 2020 (the cut-off date for the last allotment of shares made on 9 December 2020), and up to and including 26 February 2021 in respect of the 2020/2021 tax year, the Company has today allotted and issued 853,114 B Shares. In accordance with the allotment formula set out in the prospectus for the Offer, the B Shares have been allotted at the offer prices in the range of 99.4p to 105.2p per share, calculated by reference to the unaudited net asset value of a B Share as at 19 February 2021 (99.4p per B Share as announced on 23 February 2021).
As a result of this allotment, the number of shares now in issue is 8,115,376 ordinary shares of 1p each and 9,916,062 B Shares. Therefore, the total number of voting rights in the Company is 18,031,438.
In respect of this allotment, an application will be made by the Company to the Financial Conduct Authority and to the London Stock Exchange for the B Shares so issued to be admitted to the Official List and to trading on the London Stock Exchange's main market for listed securities. It is expected that the admission of the B Shares will become effective and dealings will commence on or around 8 March 2021.
The above statement of voting capital may be used by shareholders as the denominator for the calculations by which they will determine if they are required to notify their interest, or a change to their interest, in the Company under the FCA's Disclosure Guidance and Transparency Rules.
