o The issue price of 117p represents a discount of 2.6% to the closing share price on 4 May 2018 (adjusted for the 1.69p per share dividend) and a premium of 3.9% to the last reported NAV (ex-dividend) of 112.6p per share (as at 31 March 2018)

· The number of the Placing Shares will be determined at the close of the bookbuild for the Placing, expected at 11am on Friday, 18 May 2018 but may close earlier or later at the absolute discretion of the Company and Bookrunner.

· The Placing Shares will not qualify for the Q1 dividend.

· The Placing Shares are to be issued under the Company's general authority to issue shares for cash, i.e. outside of the share issuance programme implemented on 28 September 2017 (the "Share Issuance Programme"), which has now closed.

· The Placing Shares will be issued fully paid and will rank pari passu with the Existing Shares.

· The Appendix to this announcement (which forms part of the announcement) sets out the terms and conditions of the Placing.

Information to distributors

Solely for the purposes of the product governance requirements contained within: (a) EU Directive 2014/65/EU on markets in financial instruments, as amended ("MiFID II"); (b) Articles 9 and 10 of Commission Delegated Directive (EU) 2017/593 supplementing MiFID II; and (c) local implementing measures (together, the "MiFID II Product Governance Requirements"), and disclaiming all and any liability, whether arising in tort, contract or otherwise, which any "manufacturer" (for the purposes of the Product Governance Requirements) may otherwise have with respect thereto, the Placing Shares have been subject to a product approval process, which has determined that the Placing Shares are: (i) compatible with an end target market of (a) retail investors, (b) investors who meet the criteria of professional clients and (c) eligible counterparties, each as defined in MiFID II; and (ii) eligible for distribution through all distribution channels as are permitted by MiFID II (the "Target Market Assessment").

Notwithstanding the Target Market Assessment, distributors should note that: the price of the Placing Shares may decline and investors could lose all or part of their investment; the Placing Shares offer no guaranteed income and no capital protection; and an investment in the Placing Shares is compatible only with investors who do not need a guaranteed income or capital protection, who (either alone or in conjunction with an appropriate financial or other adviser) are capable of evaluating the merits and risks of such an investment and who have sufficient resources to be able to bear any losses that may result therefrom. The Target Market Assessment is without prejudice to the requirements of any contractual, legal or regulatory selling restrictions in relation to the Placing. Furthermore, it is noted that, notwithstanding the Target Market Assessment, the Manager will only procure investors who meet the criteria of professional clients and eligible counterparties.

For the avoidance of doubt, the Target Market Assessment does not constitute: (a) an assessment of suitability or appropriateness for the purposes of MiFID II; or (b) a recommendation to any investor or group of investors to invest in, or purchase, or take any other action whatsoever with respect to the Placing Shares.

Each distributor is responsible for undertaking its own target market assessment in respect of the Placing Shares and determining appropriate distribution channels.

RBC, which is authorised in the United Kingdom by the Prudential Regulatory Authority and regulated by the FCA and the Prudential Regulatory Authority, is acting for UKW and for no one else in connection with the Placing and will not be responsible to anyone other than UKW for providing the protections afforded to its clients or for affording advice in relation to the Placing, or any other matters referred to herein.

By participating in the Placing, each person who is invited to and who chooses to participate in the Placing (a "Placee") by making or accepting an oral offer to take up Placing Shares is deemed to have read and understood this announcement in its entirety (including this Appendix) and to be providing the representations, warranties, undertakings, agreements and acknowledgements contained herein.

EACH PLACEE SHOULD CONSULT WITH ITS OWN ADVISERS AS TO LEGAL, REGULATORY, TAX, BUSINESS AND RELATED ASPECTS OF A PURCHASE OF PLACING SHARES.

Details of the Placing Agreement and the Placing Shares

The Company has today entered into a placing agreement (the "Placing Agreement") with the Investment Manager and the Manager. Pursuant to the Placing Agreement, the Manager has, subject to the terms set out therein, agreed to use reasonable endeavours, as agent of the Company, to procure Placees for the Placing Shares (the "Placing"). No element of the Placing is underwritten.

The Placing Shares will, when issued be subject to the articles of association of the Company, be credited as fully paid and will rank pari passuin all respects with each other and with the existing Ordinary Shares in the capital of the Company, including the right to receive all dividends and other distributions declared, made or paid in respect of the Ordinary Shares after the date of issue of the Placing Shares.

The Placing Shares will be issued free of any encumbrance, lien or other security interest.

Application for listing and admission to trading

Application will be made to the FCA for admission of the Placing Shares to the premium segment of the Official List maintained by the FCA in accordance with section 74(1) of FSMA for the purposes of part 4A of FSMA and to the London Stock Exchange plc (the "London Stock Exchange") for admission to trading of the Placing Shares on the London Stock Exchange's main market for listed securities ("Admission"). It is expected that Admission will become effective on or around 8.00 a.m. on 22 May 2018, and that dealings in the Placing Shares will commence at that time.

Bookbuild

Commencing today, the Manager will be conducting a bookbuilding process (the "BookbuildingProcess") to determine demand for participation in the Placing by Placees. This announcement gives details of the terms and conditions of, and the mechanics of participation in, the Placing.

Participation in, and principal terms of, the Bookbuilding Process

Participation in the Placing will only be available to persons who may lawfully be, and are, invited to participate by the Manager. The Manager and its Affiliates are entitled to participate as Placees in the Bookbuilding Process.

The books will open with immediate effect. The Bookbuilding Process is expected to close not later than 11 a.m. London time on 18 May 2018, but may be closed earlier at the discretion of the Manager. A further announcement will be made following the close of the Bookbuilding Process detailing the number of Placing Shares which are being placed (the "Placing Results Announcement"). The Manager may, in agreement with the Company, accept bids that are received after the Bookbuilding Process has closed.

A bid in the Bookbuilding Process will be made on the terms and conditions in this announcement and will be legally binding on the Placee on behalf of which it is made and, except with the Manager's consent, will not be capable of variation or revocation after the close of the Bookbuilding Process.

A Placee who wishes to participate in the Bookbuilding Process should communicate its bid by telephone to the usual sales contact at RBC. Each bid should state the number of Placing Shares which the prospective Placee wishes to subscribe for at the Placing Price. If successful, the Manager will re-contact and confirm orally to Placees following the close of the Bookbuilding Process the size of their respective allocations and a trade confirmation will be dispatched as soon as possible thereafter. The Manager's oral confirmation of the size of allocations and each Placee's oral commitments to accept the same will constitute an irrevocable legally binding agreement in favour of the Company and the Manager pursuant to which each such Placee will be required to accept the number of Placing Shares allocated to the Placee at the Placing Price and otherwise on the terms and subject to the conditions set out herein and in accordance with the Company's articles of association. Each Placee's allocation and commitment will be evidenced by a trade confirmation issued to such Placee by the Manager. The terms of this Appendix will be deemed incorporated in that trade confirmation. Each such Placee will have an immediate, separate, irrevocable andbinding obligation, owed to the Manager, to pay it or (as it may direct) one of its affiliates in cleared funds an amount equal to the product of the Placing Price and the number of Placing Shares allocated to such Placee.

The Manager reserves the right to scale back the number of Placing Shares to be subscribed by any Placee in the event of an oversubscription under the Placing. The Manager also reserves the right not to accept offers to subscribe for Placing Shares or to accept such offers in part rather than in whole. The acceptance of offers shall be at the absolute discretion of the Manager. The Manager shall be entitled to effect the Placing by such alternative method to the Bookbuilding Process as they shall in their absolute discretion determine. The Company reserves the right (upon) agreement with the Manager) to reduce or seek to increase the amount to be raised pursuant to the Placing.

To the fullest extent permissible by law, no Manager, or any holding company thereof, any subsidiary thereof, any subsidiary of any such holding company, any branch, affiliate or associated undertaking of any such company nor any of their respective directors, officers and employees (each an "Affiliate") nor any person acting on their behalf shall have any liability to Placees (or to any other person whether acting on behalf of a Placee or otherwise). In particular,neither the Manager, nor any of its Affiliates nor any person acting on their behalfshall have any liability (including, to the extent legally permissible, any fiduciary duties), in respect of its conduct of the Bookbuilding Process or of such alternative method of effecting the Placing as the Manager and the Company may determine. No commissions will be paid to Placees or by Placees in respect of any Placing Shares.

Each Placee's obligations will be owed to the Company and to the Manager. Following the oral confirmation referred to above, each Placee will also have an immediate, separate, irrevocable and binding obligation, owed to the Company and the Manager as agent of the Company, to pay to the Manager (or as it may direct) in cleared funds an amount equal to the product of the Placing Price and the number of Placing Shares such Placee has agreed to acquire. The Manager will procure the allotment of the Placing Shares to each Placee following each Placee's payment to the Manager of such amount.

All obligations of the Manager under the Placing will be subject to fulfilment of the conditions referred to below under "Conditions of the Placing".

Placees should settle against CREST ID: [388]. It is expected that such trade confirmation will be despatched on 19 May 2018 and that this will also be the trade date. Each Placee agrees that it will do all things necessary to ensure that delivery and payment is completed in accordance with either the standing CREST or certificated settlement instructions which it has in place with the Manager.

It is expected that settlement will be on 22 May 2018 on a DVP basis in accordance with the instructions set out in the trade confirmation unless otherwise notified by the Manager.

Interest is chargeable daily on payments not received from Placees on the due date in accordance with the arrangements set out above at the rate of two percentage points above the base rate of LIBOR as determined by the Manager.

Each Placee is deemed to agree that if it does not comply with these obligations, the Manager may sell any or all of the Placing Shares allocated to the Placee on such Placee's behalf and retain from the proceeds, for the Manager's own account and profit, an amount equal to the aggregate amount owed by the Placee plus any interest due. The Placee will, however, remain liable for any shortfall below the aggregate amount owed by such Placee and it may be required to bear any stamp duty or stamp duty reserve tax (together with any interest or penalties) which may arise upon the sale of such Placing Shares on such Placee's behalf.

If Placing Shares are to be delivered to a custodian or settlement agent, the Placee should ensure that the trade confirmation is copied and delivered immediately to the relevant person within that organisation.

Insofar as Placing Shares are registered in the Placee's name or that of its nominee or in the name of any person for whom the Placee is contracting as agent or that of a nominee for such person, such Placing Shares will, subject as provided below, be so registered free from any liability to stamp duty or stamp duty reserve tax. If there are any circumstances in which any other stamp duty or stamp duty reserve tax is payable in respect of the issue of the Placing Shares, neither the Manager nor the Company shall be responsible for the payment thereof. Placees will not be entitled to receive any fee or commission in connection with the Placing.
