Extension of Fund 1
As outlined in the Final Results of the Company to 31 March 2019, Fund 1 was formed with a finite life which, following two extensions, ends on 17 December 2019. Having received a comprehensive update from the General Partner of Fund 1 on the short to medium prospects of the remaining investments in Fund 1, m-Hance and Omnico, the Board considers that an extension to the life of Fund 1 by a further 18 months to be appropriate and in the best interests of the 2009 Shareholders.
To that end, an ordinary resolution to confirm the Board's agreement to the proposed extension of Fund 1 from the current termination date of 17 December 2019 to 17 June 2021, with BECAP GP LP (the "Fund 1 General Partner") consequently receiving additional remuneration from Fund 1 in accordance with the terms of the Fund 1 limited partnership agreement, will be proposed at the Annual General Meeting ("AGM") of the 2009 Shareholders to be held on 12 September 2019.
