Update on Settlement of VAT Reclaim

Further to the Company's announcement on 10 August 2022, the Company is pleased to announce that a further Praesepe VAT reclaim in which the Master Fund has an interest has now been agreed by HMRC.

Whilst the total amount attributable to the Master Fund and deductions including fees, tax and other expenses are yet to be finalised, it is expected that cash in excess of £3 million will be received by the Master Fund in the coming weeks, of which, approximately 86.3% will be attributable to the Company's ordinary shareholders, approximately 10.6% will be attributable to the Company's 2016 realisation shareholders and approximately 0.6% will be attributable to the Company's 2021 realisation shareholders. This will be recognised in the Company's estimated net asset value from the date on which the amount is finalised.

A further announcement will be made confirming the final cash amounts in due course.

Potential Future Claims

Including the above claim and the amounts already received by the Master Fund, net of fees, tax and other expenses (being £1.06 million received in August 2022 and £0.29 million received in September 2022), approximately 50% of the total gross claims in which the Master Fund has an interest have now been agreed by HMRC.

Whilst it is expected that the remaining claims will be settled in an equivalent manner, there remains significant uncertainty over both the amount that may be repaid by HMRC and the timing of receipt of any cash, net of fees, taxes and other expenses by the Master Fund. Accordingly, no amount relating to the remaining claims will be reflected in the Company's estimated NAV calculations which are reported via RNS until there is sufficient certainty over the amount and timing of the receivable, at which point a further RNS announcement will be made.
