The Company has satisfied the Minimum Continuation Condition to be able to proceed with the Tender Offer as set out in the Circular and in line with the expected timetable below.

The Chair commented:

"The PCGH Board and I are delighted to see the overwhelming support for the next iteration of the Company and commitment to the period ahead. With almost 80% of existing shareholders remaining invested in the Company, this is a very strong statement especially when considered against the challenges currently faced by the wider Investment Trust industry.

We would like to thank all those shareholders supporting the continuation of the Company and to welcome the new shareholders who have joined us more recently. We are confident that the positive outlook for investing in the healthcare sector, strong relative outperformance by the fund managers and revised structure will encourage other investors to become part of the Company's register and benefit from Polar Capital's strong healthcare investment franchise."
