Update on Change of Management Arrangements

Further to its announcement on 1 July, the Company expects to hold an extraordinary general meeting on or around 1 October 2021 (the "EGM") to approve matters relating to the appointment of FIL Investment Services (UK) Limited as its new manager, with FIL Investment Services (UK) Limited taking over the management of the Company shortly thereafter.

The Company also expects to commence its tender offer for up to to 25 per cent. of its participating preference shares in early September, at the same time as the dispatch of the notice of the EGM.  The tender offer will be conditional on shareholder approval being approved at the EGM, with the tender offer closing, and the tender price being calculated following the EGM in mid-October 2021.
