Second distribution to Shareholders

The Board stated in the circular to Shareholders dated 7 December 2012 that: (i) the Company would, in accordance with its investing policy, seek the realisation of its portfolio of investments in the ordinary course of business and, subject to retaining sufficient cash to meet operating costs and liabilities, to return the net proceeds of all such realisations to Shareholders on a periodic basis; and (ii) that the Board intended to make further compulsory redemptions of ordinary shares of GBP0.01 each in the Company ("Ordinary Shares") at a price to be determined by the Board in due course. On 31 December 2012 the Company made an initial distribution to Shareholders by way of a compulsory redemption of 60 per cent. of each Shareholder's holding of Ordinary Shares, rounded down to the nearest whole number of Ordinary Shares, at 50 pence per Ordinary Share.

The Board now confirms that it intends to make a further distribution to Shareholders of GBP4,000,000 by way of a compulsory redemption of 27.43 per cent. of each Shareholder's holding of Ordinary Shares as at 5.00 p.m. on 19 July 2013 (the "Record Date"), rounded down to the nearest whole number of Ordinary Shares, at 47.78 pence per Ordinary Share. The compulsory redemption will take place immediately following the Record Date.

Since the compulsory purchase of Ordinary Shares was approved by shareholders at an EGM in December 2012, 55 per cent. of the Net Asset value as at the date of the EGM, being an aggregate amount of GBP26,892,001, will have been returned to Shareholders following this distribution to Shareholders.

As at 28 June 2013, the Net Asset Value of the Company was GBP23,104,349 (representing 75.6957 pence per Ordinary Share) and the Company's key holdings were as follows:

Certificated and Non Certificated Holdings

Cash consideration from the compulsory repurchase will be settled (i) in relation to Ordinary Shares in certificated form, through the despatch to Shareholders of cheques drawn on a branch of a UK clearing bank by first class post by 26 July 2013; and (ii) in relation to Ordinary Shares in uncertificated form (i.e. in CREST), by means of a CREST payment on 26 July 2013 in favour of the Shareholder's payment bank, in accordance with the CREST payment arrangements.

Following the Record Date, existing Ordinary Share certificates will no longer be valid and Shareholders will be sent a new Ordinary Share certificate for their holding following the repurchase within 14 days. Shareholders with holdings in uncertificated form (i.e. in CREST) should expect to have their CREST account adjusted to reflect their new holding following the repurchase on 22 July 2013. Existing holdings held in a stock account in CREST will be disabled as at 5.00 p.m. on 19 July 2013 and all existing Ordinary Shares will be removed from CREST in due course.

Dealings

Following the compulsory repurchase, it is expected that dealings will commence in the remaining Ordinary Shares under ISIN KYG8761F1274 at 8:00 a.m. on 22 July 2013.
