Partial Compulsory Redemption of Repurchase Pool Shares

This announcement contains inside information

Further to the approval given by the Company's Shareholders to enable compulsory redemptions of the Repurchase Pool Shares (as described in the Prospectus dated 11 October 2017), the Company today announces that it will return c. US$8,500,000 by way of a compulsory partial redemption of up to 11,280,690 Repurchase Pool Shares (the "Seventh Redemption") on 23 November 2018 (the "Redemption Date"). Approximately 31.4067% of the existing Repurchase Pool Shares will be redeemed.

The Seventh Redemption will be effected at US$0.7535 per Repurchase Pool Share, being the NAV per Repurchase Pool Share as at 31 October 2018. The Seventh Redemption will be effected pro rata to holdings of Repurchase Pool Shares on the register at the close of business on the Redemption Record Date, being 23 November 2018. As at today's date, the Company has 35,918,048 Repurchase Pool Shares in issue, of which none is held in treasury.

On this basis, a holder of 10,000 Repurchase Pool Shares will have 3,140 Repurchase Pool Shares redeemed, and receive US$2,365.99 in cash.

Fractions of Repurchase Pool Shares will not be redeemed and so the number of Repurchase Pool Shares to be redeemed for each shareholder will be rounded down to the nearest whole number of Repurchase Pool Shares.

The amount to be applied to the partial redemption of Repurchase Pool Shares comprises monies from the Company's existing cash balances.

All Repurchase Pool Shares that are redeemed will be cancelled with effect from the relevant Redemption Date. Accordingly, once redeemed, Repurchase Pool Shares will be incapable of transfer.

The Repurchase Pool Shares will be disabled in CREST after close of business on the Redemption Date and the existing ISIN number IE00BGKG5Z95 (the "Old ISIN") will expire.

The new ISIN number IE00BYWL9017 (the "New ISIN") in respect of the remaining Repurchase Pool Shares which have not been redeemed will be enabled and available for transactions from and including 26 November 2018.

Up to and including the Redemption Date, Repurchase Pool Shares will continue to be traded under the Old ISIN and as such, a purchaser of such Repurchase Pool Shares would have a market claim for a proportion of the redemption proceeds. CREST will automatically transform any open transactions as at the Redemption Date into the New ISIN.

Shareholders should note that the Board retains absolute discretion as to the execution, extent and timing of any further redemptions.

Expected timetable for redemption:

Capitalised terms used but not defined in this announcement shall bear the meanings ascribed to them in the Prospectus dated 11 October 2017.
