GCP Infrastructure Investments Limited
(the "Company")
Headline: Non-Mainstream Pooled Investments
18 December 2013
The Board of the Company notes the rules of the UK Financial Conduct Authority ("FCA") on the promotion of non-mainstream pooled investments, effective from 1 January 2014.
The Board confirms that it conducts the Company's affairs, and intends to continue to conduct its affairs, so that the Company's shares will be "excluded securities" under the FCA's new rules. This is on the basis that the Company, which is resident outside the EEA, would qualify for approval as an investment trust by the Commissioners for HM Revenue and Customs under Sections 1158 and 1159 of the Corporation Tax Act 2010 if resident and listed in the United Kingdom. Therefore, the Company's shares will not amount to non-mainstream pooled investments. Accordingly, the promotion of the Company's shares will not be subject to the FCA's restriction on promotion of non-mainstream pooled investments.
