PURCHASE OF ORDINARY SHARES

PURCHASE OF ORDINARY SHARES

The Company announces that Liberum Capital Limited as broker, on behalf of Marwyn Value Investors L.P. (the "Master Fund"), has purchased 164,938 of the Company's ordinary shares ("Ordinary Shares") (the "Purchased Shares").

The total number of the Company's Ordinary Shares owned by, or on behalf of, the Master Fund in respect of the Company's buyback programme is 723,666. The Company has been informed that the Master Fund intends to utilise the Exchange Procedure (as defined and described in the Company's prospectus dated 19 October 2016) in respect of the Purchased Shares such that the Purchased Shares will, in due course, be cancelled.

Until the Exchange Procedure is utilised in respect of any Ordinary Shares, the total number of voting rights in the Company remains as 63,668,685 comprising 59,481,459 Ordinary Shares and 4,187,226 Realisation Shares, each carrying one vote per share. These figures should be used by shareholders as the denominator for the calculations by which they will determine if they are required to notify their interests in, or a change to their interest in the Company under the FCA's Disclosure Guidance and Transparency Rules.

For the purposes of the weekly estimated net asset value per Ordinary Share reporting, the Company will treat the Purchased Shares as already cancelled.

SHARE ACQUISITION BY MARWYN LONG TERM INCENTIVE LP

MLTI, Mark Brangstrup Watts, James Corsellis and Antoinette Vanderpuije, now together hold 9,025,668 Ordinary Shares, representing approximately 15.17% of the Company's issued Ordinary Shares.
