Closed Period Share Buybacks

Further to the announcement dated 9 August 2016, the Company confirms that:

· all inside information (as defined in Article 7 of Regulation (EU) No 596/2014), including weekly unaudited NAV estimates, has been and will continue to be notified to a regulatory information service ("RIS");

· the Directors and the Company are not in possession of any additional inside information that has not been notified to a RIS; and

· the Company has no reason to believe that there will be any material difference between the net asset value per share as at close of business on 30 June 2016, which was announced on 5 July 2016, and the financial information to be published in the announcement of its results for the year ended 30 June 2016

Accordingly, the Company will continue to adopt its stated buyback policy during the closed period (as defined in Regulation (EU) No 596/2014) in relation to the annual financial results for the year ended 30 June 2016, which is expected to be announced on or about 12 September 2016.
