Proposed Placing of Ordinary Shares

The Board of the Company, which invests in asset backed loans, today announces a placing of new Ordinary Shares ("New Shares") targeting gross proceeds in excess of £10 million (the "Placing") to satisfy investor demand.

On 28 November 2018 the Company announced it had invested substantially all of the proceeds of its earlier C share issue. Gravis Capital Management Limited ("the Investment Manager") continues to have access to a pipeline of asset-backed investment opportunities across a range of sectors, including a number of immediate and attractive investments.

The price at which each New Share will be issued pursuant to the Placing will be 104.5 pence per Ordinary Share (the "Placing Price"). This represents a 3.0% premium to the Company's last published NAV per Ordinary Share. Accordingly, the Placing will be NAV accretive for existing Ordinary shareholders.

The Placing will be non pre-emptive and will be made pursuant to the exemptions to publishing a prospectus set out in the Prospectus Rules. The New Shares will, when issued and fully paid, include the right to receive all dividends or other distributions made, paid or declared, if any, by reference to a record date after the date of their issue, including the quarterly dividend in respect of the period from 1 October to 31 December 2018 which is expected to be declared by the Company in January 2019

Cenkos Securities plc ("Cenkos") is acting as the Company's sole Placing Agent in relation to the Placing. The Placing will open at 8 a.m. today and prospective investors are invited to contact Cenkos for further details of the Placing. The Placing is expected to close at 4.30 p.m. (London time) on 10 December 2018 but may close earlier (or later) at the absolute discretion of the Company, in consultation with Cenkos.

The Placing is subject to the terms and conditions set out in the Appendix.

Applications will be made to the UK Listing Authority for all of the New Shares issued pursuant to the Placing to be admitted to the premium segment of the Official List and for all such New Shares to be admitted to trading on the London Stock Exchange's main market for listed securities. It is expected that such admission will become effective and dealings in such New Shares will commence on 13 December 2018.

The expected timetable for the Placing is set out below and is subject to change at the discretion of the Company and in consultation with Cenkos and the Investment Manager.

DETAILS OF THE PLACING

 

Cenkos has entered into the Placing Agreement with the Company and the Investment Manager under which Cenkos has, on the terms and subject to the conditions set out therein, undertaken to use its reasonable endeavours to procure, as agent for the Company, subscribers for the Placing Shares at the Placing Price.

 

The Placing Agreement contains customary warranties given by the Company and the Investment Manager to Cenkos as to matters relating to the Company and its business and a customary indemnity given by the Company and the Investment Manager to Cenkos in respect of liabilities arising out of, or in connection with, the Placing.

 

Cenkos (after consultation with the Company and the Investment Manager) reserves the right to scale back the number of Placing Shares to be subscribed by any Placee in the event of applications in excess of the target amount under the Placing. The Company and Cenkos also reserve the right not to accept offers to subscribe for Placing Shares or to accept such offer in part rather than in whole. Cenkos shall be entitled to effect the Placing by such method as they shall in their sole discretion determine. To the fullest extent permissible by law, neither Cenkos nor any holding company of Cenkos nor any subsidiary branch or affiliate of Cenkos (each an affiliate) nor any person acting on behalf of any of the foregoing shall have any liability to the Placees (or to any other person whether acting on behalf of a Placee or otherwise). In particular, neither Cenkos, nor any affiliate thereof nor any person acting on their behalf shall have any liability to Placees in respect of their conduct of the Placing.

 

Each Placee's obligations will be owed to the Company and to Cenkos. Following the confirmation referred to below in the paragraph entitled "Participation in, and principal terms of, the Placing", each Placee will also have an immediate, separate, irrevocable and binding obligation, owed to Cenkos, to pay to Cenkos (or as Cenkos may direct) in cleared funds an amount equal to the product of the Placing Price and the number of Placing Shares which such Placees has agreed to acquire.

 

Each Placee agrees to indemnify on demand and hold each of Cenkos, the Company and the Investment Manager and their respective affiliates harmless from any all costs, claims, liabilities and expenses (including legal fees and expenses) arising out of or in connection with any breach of the acknowledgments, undertakings, representations, warranties and agreements set forth in these terms and conditions and any contract note.

 

The Placing is also conditional upon the Placing Agreement becoming unconditional and the Placing Agreement not being terminated in accordance with its terms. Further details of conditions in relation to the Placing are set out below in the paragraph entitled "Conditions of the Placing".

 

APPLICATION FOR ADMISSION TO TRADING

 

Application will be made to the FCA and the London Stock Exchange for Admission. It is expected that settlement of any such Placing Shares and Admission will become effective on or around 8.00 a.m. on 13 December 2018 and that dealings in the Placing Shares will commence at that time.

 

PAYMENT FOR SHARES

 

Each Placee must pay the Placing Price for the Placing Shares issued to the Placee in the manner and by the time directed by Cenkos. If any Placee fails to pay as so directed and/or by the time directed, the relevant Placee's application for Placing Shares shall at Cenkos's discretion either be rejected or accepted in which case the paragraph below entitled "Registration and Settlement" shall apply to such application.

 

PARTICIPATION IN, AND PRINCIPAL TERMS OF, THE PLACING

 

Cenkos (whether through itself or any of its affiliates) is arranging the Placing as placing agent of the Company for the purpose of using reasonable endeavours to procure Placees at the Placing Price for the Placing Shares.

 

Participation in the Placing will only be available to persons who may lawfully be, and are, invited to participate by Cenkos. Cenkos and its affiliates may participate in the Placing as principal.

 

By participating in the Placing, Placees will be deemed to have read and understood this announcement, including this Appendix, in its entirety and to be participating and making an offer for Placing Shares on the terms and conditions, and to be providing the representations, warranties, acknowledgements, agreements and undertakings contained in this Appendix.

 

This Appendix gives details of the terms and conditions of, and the mechanics of participation in, the Placing. No commissions will be paid to Placees or by Placees in respect of any Placing Shares.

 

The number of Placing Shares to be issued will be agreed between Cenkos, the Company and the Investment Manager following completion of the bookbuilding process in respect of the Placing (the "Bookbuild"). The number of Placing Shares will be announced on a Regulatory Information Service following completion of the Bookbuild.

 

Each Placee's allocation will be confirmed to Placees orally or by email by Cenkos, and a trade confirmation or contract note will be dispatched as soon as possible thereafter. The oral or email confirmation to such Placee will constitute an irrevocable legally binding commitment upon such person (who will at that point become a Placee) in favour of Cenkos and the Company, under which it agrees to acquire the number of Placing Shares allocated to it at the Placing Price on the terms and conditions set out in this Appendix and in accordance with the articles of incorporation of the Company.

 

Except as required by law or regulation, no press release or other announcement will be made by Cenkos or the Company using the name of any Placee (or its agent), in its capacity as Placee (or agent), other than with such Placee's prior written consent.

 

Irrespective of the time at which a Placee's allocation pursuant to the Placing is confirmed, settlement for all Placing Shares to be acquired pursuant to the Placing will be required to be made at the same time, on the basis explained below under the paragraph entitled "Registration and Settlement".

 

All obligations under the Placing will be subject to fulfilment or (where applicable) waiver of, amongst other things, the conditions referred to below and to the Placing not being terminated on the basis referred to below.

 

By participating in the Placing, each Placee will agree that its rights and obligations in respect of the Placing will terminate only in the circumstances described below and will not be capable of rescission or termination by the Placee.

 

To the fullest extent permissible by law, none of the Company, Cenkos or any of their respective affiliates shall have any liability to Placees (or to any other person whether acting on behalf of a Placee or otherwise of these terms and conditions). In particular, none of the Company, Cenkos or any of their respective affiliates shall have any liability (including to the fullest extent permissible by law, any fiduciary duties) in respect of Cenkos's conduct of the Placing. Each Placee acknowledges and agrees that the Company is responsible for the issue of the Placing Shares to the Placees and Cenkos shall have no liability to the Placees for the failure of the Company to fulfil those obligations.

 

CONDITIONS OF THE PLACING

 

The Placing is conditional upon the Placing Agreement becoming unconditional and not having been terminated in accordance with its terms.

 

Cenkos's obligations under the Placing Agreement in respect of the Placing Shares are conditional on, inter alia:

 

1. the Company issuing, subject only to Admission, the Placing Shares in accordance with the Placing Agreement; and

 

2. Admission taking place not later than 8.30 a.m. on 13 December 2018.

 

If (a) any of the conditions contained in the Placing Agreement in relation to the Placing Shares are not fulfilled or waived by Cenkos by the respective time or date where specified (or such later time or date as the Company and Cenkos may agree not being later than 8.30 a.m. on 31 December 2018 (the "Final Date")); or (b) the Placing Agreement is terminated as described below, the Placing in relation to the Placing Shares will lapse and the Placee's rights and obligations hereunder in relation to the Placing Shares shall cease and terminate at such time and each Placee agrees that no claim can be made by the Placee in respect thereof.

 

Subject to certain exceptions, Cenkos may, at its absolute discretion and upon such terms as it thinks fit, waive, or extend the period (up to the Final Date) for, compliance by the Company with the whole or any part of any of the Company's obligations in relation to the conditions in the Placing Agreement. Any such extension or waiver will not affect Placees' commitments as set out in this announcement.

 

Neither Cenkos nor the Company shall have any liability to any Placee (or to any other person whether acting on behalf of a Placee or otherwise) in respect of any decision they may make as to whether or not to waive or to extend the time and/or date for the satisfaction of any condition to the Placing nor for any decision they may make as to the satisfaction of any condition or in respect of the Placing generally and by participating in the Placing each Placee agrees that any such decision is within the absolute discretion of Cenkos.

 

RIGHT TO TERMINATE UNDER THE PLACING AGREEMENT

 

Cenkos is entitled, at any time before Admission, to terminate the Placing Agreement by giving notice to the Company in certain circumstances, including, inter alia:

 

1. the Company is in breach of any of its obligations under the Placing Agreement which is material in the context of the Placing; or

 

2. there has been a material adverse change in the financial or trading position or prospects of the Company; or

 

3. there has been a material change in national or international financial, political, economic or stock market conditions (primary or secondary), a suspension or material limitation in trading of securities generally on any stock exchange or a material disruption in commercial banking as would be likely to prejudice the success of the Placing.

 

Following Admission, the Placing Agreement is not capable of termination to the extent that it relates to the Placing of the Placing Shares.

 

The rights and obligations of the Placees shall terminate only in the circumstances described in these terms and conditions and in the Placing Agreement and will not be subject to termination by the Placee or any prospective Placee at any time or in any circumstances. By participating in the Placing, Placees agree that the exercise by Cenkos of any right of termination or other discretion under the Placing Agreement shall be within the absolute discretion of Cenkos, and that it need not make any reference to Placees and that it shall have no liability to Placees whatsoever in connection with any such exercise or decision not to exercise. Placees will have no rights against Cenkos, the Company or any of their respective directors or employees under the Placing Agreement pursuant to the Contracts (Rights of Third Parties) Act 1999 (as amended).

 

NO PROSPECTUS

 

The Placing Shares are being offered to Relevant Persons only and will not be offered in such a way as to require a prospectus in the United Kingdom or elsewhere. No offering document or prospectus has been or will be submitted to be approved by the FCA in relation to the Placing and Placees' commitments will be made solely on the basis of the information contained in this announcement (including this Appendix) and certain business and financial information the Company is required to publish in accordance with the rules and practices of the FCA (collectively "Exchange Information").

 

Each Placee, by accepting a participation in the Placing, agrees that the content of this announcement, including this Appendix, is exclusively the responsibility of the Company and confirms that it has not relied on any other information (other than the Exchange Information), representation, warranty, or statement made by or on behalf of the Company or Cenkos or any other person and neither Cenkos nor the Company nor the Investment Manager nor any other person will be liable for any Placee's decision to participate in the Placing based on any other information, representation, warranty or statement which the Placees may have obtained or received. Each Placee acknowledges and agrees that it has relied on its own investigation of the business, financial or other position of the Company in accepting a participation in the Placing. Nothing in this paragraph shall exclude the liability of any person for fraudulent misrepresentation.

 

REGISTRATION AND SETTLEMENT

 

Settlement of transactions in the Placing Shares (ISIN: JE00BYXX8B08) following Admission will take place within CREST provided that, subject to certain exceptions, Cenkos reserves the right to require settlement for, and delivery of, the Placing Shares (or a portion thereof) to Placees by such other means that it deems necessary if delivery or settlement is not possible or practicable within CREST within the timetable set out in this announcement or would not be consistent with the regulatory requirements in any Placee's jurisdiction.

 

Each Placee allocated Placing Shares in the Placing will be sent a trade confirmation or contract note stating the number of Placing Shares allocated to it at the Placing Price, the aggregate amount owed by such Placee to Cenkos (as agent for the Company) and settlement instructions. Each Placee agrees that it will do all things necessary to ensure that delivery and payment is completed in accordance with either the CREST or certificated settlement instructions that it has in place with Cenkos.

 

It is expected that settlement in respect of the Placing Shares will be on or around 13 December 2018 on a T+2 basis in accordance with the instructions set out in the trade confirmation.

 

Interest is chargeable daily on payments not received from Placees on the due date in accordance with the arrangements set out above at the rate of two percentage points above Libor as determined by Cenkos.

 

Each Placee is deemed to agree that, if it does not comply with these obligations, Cenkos may sell any or all of the Placing Shares allocated to that Placee on such Placee's behalf and retain from the proceeds, for Cenkos's account and benefit (as agent for the Company), an amount equal to the aggregate amount owed by the Placee plus any interest due. Any excess proceeds will pass to the relevant Placee at its risk. The relevant Placee will, however, remain liable and shall indemnify Cenkos on demand for any shortfall below the aggregate amount owed by it and may be required to bear any stamp duty or stamp duty reserve tax or securities transfer tax (together with any interest or penalties) which may arise upon the sale of such Placing Shares on such Placee's behalf. By communicating a bid for Placing Shares, each Placee confers on Cenkos all such authorities and powers necessary to carry out any such sale and agrees to ratify and confirm all actions which Cenkos lawfully takes in pursuance of such sale.

 

If Placing Shares are to be delivered to a custodian or settlement agent, Placees should ensure that the trade confirmation or contract note is copied and delivered immediately to the relevant person within that organisation.

 

Insofar as Placing Shares are registered in a Placee's name or that of its nominee or in the name of any person for whom a Placee is contracting as agent or that of a nominee for such person, such Placing Shares should, subject as provided below, be so registered free from any liability to UK stamp duty or stamp duty reserve tax or securities transfer tax. Placees will not be entitled to receive any fee or commission in connection with the Placing.

 

REPRESENTATIONS, WARRANTIES AND FURTHER TERMS

 

By participating in the Placing, each Placee (and any person acting on such Placee's behalf) makes the following representations, warranties, acknowledgements, agreements and undertakings (as the case may be) to the Company and Cenkos, namely that, each Placee (and any person acting on such Placee's behalf):

28. acknowledges that time shall be of the essence as regards to obligations pursuant to this Appendix;

 

29. agrees that the Company, Cenkos and their respective affiliates and others will rely upon the truth and accuracy of the foregoing representations, warranties, acknowledgements and undertakings which are given to Cenkos on its own behalf and on behalf of the Company and are irrevocable and are irrevocably authorised to produce this announcement or a copy thereof to any interested party in any administrative or legal proceeding or official inquiry with respect to the matters covered hereby;

 

30. agrees to indemnify on an after-tax basis and hold the Company, Cenkos and their respective affiliates harmless from any and all costs, claims, liabilities and expenses (including legal fees and expenses) arising out of or in connection with any breach of the representations, warranties, acknowledgements, agreements and undertakings in this Appendix and further agrees that the provisions of this Appendix shall survive after completion of the Placing;

 

31. acknowledges that no action has been or will be taken by any of the Company, Cenkos or any person acting on behalf of the Company or Cenkos that would, or is intended to, permit a public offer of the Placing Shares in any country or jurisdiction where any such action for that purpose is required;

 

32. acknowledges that it is an institution that has knowledge and experience in financial, business and international investment matters as is required to evaluate the merits and risks of subscribing for the Placing Shares. It further acknowledges that it is experienced in investing in securities of this nature and in this sector and is aware that it may be required to bear, and it, and any accounts for which it may be acting, are able to bear, the economic risk of, and is able to sustain, a complete loss in connection with the Placing. It has relied upon its own examination and due diligence of the Company and its associates taken as a whole, and the terms of the Placing, including the merits and risks involved;

 

33. acknowledges that its commitment to subscribe for Placing Shares on the terms set out herein and in the trade confirmation or contract note will continue, notwithstanding any amendment that may in the future be made to the terms of the Placing and that Placees will have no right to be consulted or require that their consent be obtained with respect to the Company's conduct of the Placing;

 

34. acknowledges that Cenkos or any of its affiliates acting as an investor for its own account may take up shares in the Company and in that capacity may retain, purchase or sell for its own account such shares and may offer or sell such shares other than in connection with the Placing;

 

35. represents and warrants that, if it is a pension fund or investment company, its purchase of Placing Shares is in full compliance with all applicable laws and regulation; and

 

36. to the fullest extent permitted by law, it acknowledges and agrees to the disclaimers contained in the announcement, including this Appendix.

 

The representations, warranties, acknowledgments and undertakings contained in this Appendix are given to Cenkos and the Company and are irrevocable and shall not be capable of termination in any circumstances.

 

The agreement to settle a Placee's subscription (and/or the subscription of a person for whom such Placee is contracting as agent) free of stamp duty and stamp duty reserve tax depends on the settlement relating only to a subscription by it and/or such person direct from the Company for the Placing Shares in question. Such agreement assumes that the Placing Shares are not being subscribed for in connection with arrangements to issue depositary receipts or to transfer the Placing Shares into a clearance service. If there are any such arrangements, or the settlement relates to any other subsequent dealing in the Placing Shares, stamp duty or stamp duty reserve tax may be payable, for which neither the Company nor Cenkos will be responsible, and the Placee to whom (or on behalf of whom, or in respect of the person for whom it is participating in the Placing as an agent or nominee) the allocation, issue or delivery of Placing Shares has given rise to such UK stamp duty or stamp duty reserve tax undertakes to pay such UK stamp duty or stamp duty reserve tax forthwith and to indemnify on an after-tax basis and to hold harmless the Company and Cenkos in the event that any of the Company and/or Cenkos has incurred any such liability to UK stamp duty or stamp duty reserve tax. If this is the case, each Placee should seek its own advice and notify Cenkos accordingly.

 

In addition, Placees should note that they will be liable for any stamp duty and all other stamp, issue, securities, transfer, registration, documentary or other duties or taxes (including any interest, fines or penalties relating thereto) payable outside the UK by them or any other person on the subscription by them of any Placing Shares or the agreement by them to subscribe for any Placing Shares.

 

Each Placee, and any person acting on behalf of the Placee, acknowledges that Cenkos does not owe any fiduciary or other duties to any Placee in respect of any representations, warranties, undertakings or indemnities in the Placing Agreement.

 

Each Placee and any person acting on behalf of the Placee acknowledges and agrees that Cenkos or any of its affiliates may, at their absolute discretion, agree to become a Placee in respect of some or all of the Placing Shares.

 

When a Placee or person acting on behalf of the Placee is dealing with Cenkos, any money held in an account with Cenkos on behalf of the Placee and/or any person acting on behalf of the Placee will not be treated as client money within the meaning of the rules and regulations of the FCA made under the FSMA. The Placee acknowledges that the money will not be subject to the protections conferred by the client money rules; as a consequence, this money will not be segregated from Cenkos's money in accordance with the client money rules and will be used by Cenkos in the course of its own business and the Placee will rank only as a general creditor of Cenkos.

 

All times and dates in this announcement (including this Appendix) may be subject to amendment, and Placees' commitments, representations and warranties are not conditional on any of the expected times and dates in this announcement (including this Appendix) being achieved. Cenkos shall notify the Placees and any person acting on behalf of the Placees of any changes.

 

Past performance is no guide to future performance and persons needing advice should consult an appropriately qualified independent financial adviser.

 

Cenkos is entitled, at its discretion and out of its own resources, at any time to rebate to some or all of its investors, or to other parties (including the Investment Manager), part or all of its fees relating to the Placing.

 

MISCELLANEOUS

 

Solely for the purposes of the product governance requirements contained within: (a) EU Directive 2014/65/EU on markets in financial instruments, as amended ("MiFID II"); (b) Articles 9 and 10 of Commission Delegated Directive (EU) 2017/593 supplementing MiFID II; and (c) local implementing measures (together, the "Product Governance Requirements"), and disclaiming all and any liability, whether arising in tort, contract or otherwise, which any "manufacturer" (for the purposes of the Product Governance Requirements) may otherwise have with respect thereto, the Placing Shares have been subject to a product approval process, which has determined that the Placing Shares are: (i) compatible with an end target market of retail investors and investors who meet the criteria of professional clients and eligible counterparties, each as defined in MiFID II; and (ii) eligible for distribution through all distribution channels as are permitted by MiFID II (the "Target Market Assessment"). Notwithstanding the Target Market Assessment, Placees should note that: the price of the Placing Shares may decline and investors could lose all or part of their investment; the Placing Shares offer no guaranteed income and no capital protection; and an investment in the Placing Shares is compatible only with investors who do not need a guaranteed income or capital protection, who (either alone or in conjunction with an appropriate financial or other adviser) are capable of evaluating the merits and risks of such an investment and who have sufficient resources to be able to bear any losses that may result therefrom. The Target Market Assessment is without prejudice to the requirements of any contractual, legal or regulatory selling restrictions in relation to the Placing. Furthermore, it is noted that, notwithstanding the Target Market Assessment, Cenkos will only procure investors who meet the criteria of professional clients and eligible counterparties. For the avoidance of doubt, the Target Market Assessment does not constitute: (a) an assessment of suitability or appropriateness for the purposes of MiFID II; or (b) a recommendation to any investor or group of investors to invest in, or purchase, or take any other action whatsoever with respect to the Placing Shares.

 

Each distributor is responsible for undertaking its own target market assessment in respect of the Placing Shares and determining appropriate distribution channels.
