Update on offer for subscription
Following the announcement made on 26 June 2019, the Board has been discussing the size and structure of the proposed offer for subscription (the "Offer") with the Investment Manager. Having considered the deployment of funds over the last six months and the current pipeline of investment opportunities, the Company is seeking to raise £25 million over a 12 month period from the date of the prospectus. The Directors will also have discretion to utilise an over-allotment facility of up to £20 million, either in whole or in part. This facility will only be utilised if the Directors are satisfied that there is a suitable pipeline of investments to deploy the extra funds and if there is sufficient demand from investors.
In addition, provision is being made for up to a further £5 million to be raised from the Company's Dividend Re-Investment Scheme over the course of the Offer.
In order to ensure the efficient deployment of funds and to provide the Company with greater flexibility, the amount to be raised under the Offer prior to the Company's year end on 31 January 2020 will be capped at £15 million.
Further details of the Offer will be provided in a prospectus to be published by the Company around the end of October 2019. A further announcement will be released when the prospectus is available.
