Michael Baines, Chairman, commented:

"The delivery of the three core components of the Company's strategy - comprising monitoring and refining the accurate measurement and forecasting of NAV, control of costs, and the delivery of returns to Shareholders remain the principal focus of the Board.

The year has ended with your Company being in a strong cash position, and with positive actual to expected ratios across both the non-HIV and HIV policy segments of the portfolio. The opportunity to update the assumptions underlying the valuation model of the HIV segment of the portfolio has been welcome and is based on the discussions with our actuary and Investment Manager in line with our methodology. It also reflects observations arising from a larger number of data points than has been previously available.

Accordingly, the Board now takes a more optimistic view than it did during 2025 of the future cash inflows arising from the forecast maturity profile of the portfolio as it migrates from the emphasis on non-HIV policies to an entirely HIV-based set of policies. We were delighted that we were able to declare a special dividend during March 2026, and, reflecting this improved cash position the Board will continue to explore opportunities to provide satisfactory returns to Shareholders through dividends and share repurchases.
