CC Japan Income & Growth Trust plc
Intention to Issue Subscription Shares
CC Japan Income & Growth Trust plc (the "Company") announces that it is considering a bonus issue of subscription shares ("Subscription Shares") to existing shareholders, on the basis of one Subscription Share for every five ordinary shares held (the "Bonus Issue"). The Company intends to publish a prospectus and circular in connection with the Bonus Issue in the New Year. The Company will seek a listing for the Subscription Shares on the Standard segment of the London Stock Exchange's Main Market.
The Board of the Company (the "Board") continues to be encouraged by the strengthening investment case for Japanese equities and, in particular, the scope for recovery as Japan emerges from the Covid-19 pandemic. The Board believes that the Company's mandate, as executed by our investment manager, Coupland Cardiff Asset Management, is well positioned to deliver capital and income growth for its shareholders over the medium term. The issue of bonus Subscription Shares could create an attractive opportunity for shareholders to subscribe in the future for further ordinary shares, on a pre-emptive basis, thereby increasing the size of the Company.
A further announcement will be made in due course.
This announcement has been released on behalf of the Company by order of the Board.
The Company's LEI is: 549300FZANMYIORK1K98
