Partial settlement of portfolio case generates US$12.5 million return

 

 

Juridica, a leading provider of strategic capital for corporate legal claims to both businesses and the legal markets, is pleased to announce that further partial settlements from an investment within its maturing portfolio have generated gross cash proceeds of US$12.5 million. These settlements were completed in August and the Company will receive the cash proceeds at year end.

 

The proceeds represent a realised gain on the Company's investment and not a return of capital. The return generated is in line with the Company's expectations, as previously reflected in the unrealised profits of the Company.

 

During 2013 the Company has paid or announced a total of 23 pence per share in dividends following continued success in its maturing portfolio of investments. Gross proceeds achieved during 2013 now total US$30 million, with further progress expected during the next 12 months.

 

As a result of today's announcement and in anticipation of possible further returns before the year end, the Board will consider the declaration of additional dividends by the end of the year. If made, such sum would be not less than 4 pence per share in addition to the 10 pence per share (or approximately US$16million in aggregate) announced on 4 July 2013 which will be paid on 15 January 2014 to shareholders on the Register at 13 December 2013.

 

This latest successful investment return for Juridica continues the Company's strong record of investment selection and brings the lifetime gross proceeds achieved by the Company to US$117.3 million. After payment of the dividend declared on 4 July 2013, Juridica will have returned US$64 million (or approximately £42 million) to shareholders in the form of US$54 million in dividends and US$10 million as a result of the September 2010 share buy-back scheme. Juridica has so far raised £115 million (US$210 million) of capital in two tranches.

 

Lord Brennan, Juridica's Chairman, said: "We are pleased with the portfolio's progress during the year and by our ability to deliver dividend income to investors. Today's win underlines our confidence in the Company's investments, validating the mix of opportunities chosen by our Investment Manager. We remain focused on the Company's objectives of dividend income and NAV growth."
