Tender Offer Reminder

Further to the Company's announcement dated 3 September 2024, the Company wishes to remind Eligible Shareholders of the proposed tender offer of up to £20 million (the "Tender Offer"), as described in the circular published by the Company dated 3 September 2024 containing details of the Tender Offer and convening a general meeting of the Company to be held on 25 September 2024 at 12.00 p.m. (the "Circular").

In particular, registered Shareholders which hold Ordinary Shares on behalf of underlying Eligible Shareholders who are retail investors are encouraged to ensure that such Eligible Shareholders are made aware of the process by which they may participate in the Tender Offer, should they so choose, and of the relevant timetable, details of which are set out on page 3 of the Circular and as below.

The Tender Offer, which is subject to Shareholder approval, is being made at a Tender Price equal to the prevailing Net Asset Value per Ordinary Share at the time of announcement of (i) the final maximum aggregate value of the Tender Offer; (ii) the final number of Available Shares; (iii) the Tender Price; and (iv) the Basic Entitlement percentage of Eligible Shareholders. Those details are expected to be announced by the Company on 19 September 2024. Completion of the Tender Offer is expected to take place on 26 September 2024.

Shareholders are reminded of the risks associated with the Tender Offer as described in Part 6 of the Circular. Such risks include, amongst other things, that the lower number of Ordinary Shares in issue following completion of the Tender Offer may reduce secondary market liquidity in the Ordinary Shares, which could, accordingly, adversely affect a Shareholder's ability to sell their Ordinary Shares in the market.
