Fourth Tender Offer
The Company has today published a circular (the "Circular") to Shareholders setting out details of the Fourth Tender Offer to purchase up to 16.5 per cent. of the Shares in issue as part of the Company's Realisation Strategy. Shareholders (other than certain Overseas Shareholders) on the Register on the Record Date (being close of Business on Tuesday, 9 June 2015) will be able to tender none, some or all of their Shares within the limit of the Fourth Tender Offer.
Tenders in excess of a Shareholder's Basic Entitlement will only be accepted to the extent that other Shareholders tender less than their Basic Entitlement and will be satisfied on a pro rata basis to the number of Shares tendered. The Tender Price is 156.1079 pence. This is equal to approximately 98% of the unaudited NAV per Share as at close of business on 31 March 2015 after provision for the 2014 proposed dividend.
