10 April 2019
In view of the sub-scale size of the Group, its performance since IPO, and the recent news in respect of Meridian Metal Trading Limited, the Board is reviewing the options for the future of AEWL.
The Board will seek to achieve value for shareholders either by expanding the Group's equity and asset base to achieve full dividend cover, considering offers from interested parties, or by selling the Group's portfolio and returning funds to shareholders.
To ensure that all options can be considered, the Board has today served protective notice of termination of the investment management agreement with AEW UK Investment Management LLP (which will expire on 9th April 2020). Ultimately, after all options have been considered, the Board may decide to continue to pursue the Group's existing strategy with AEW UK Investment Management LLP.
Further announcements will be made in due course.
