Holdings in the Company and TVR
Investment Manager's Holding
RMDL, an investment trust specialising in secured debt investments, announces that RM Capital Markets Limited (the "Investment Manager") acquired 48,798 ordinary shares of 1 pence each ("Ordinary Shares") in the Company at 101.50 pence per share on 8 August 2018.
This purchase was made pursuant to the Investment Manager's commitment to invest 50 per cent. of its management fee, on a quarterly basis, in Ordinary Shares. Under the Investment Manager agreement, any Ordinary Shares purchased in connection with such reinvestment are subject to a lock-in period of 12 months from the date of purchase. Therefore, with the agreement of the Board, 67,698 ordinary shares which were acquired by the Investment Manager prior to 8 August 2017, now being eligible for sale, have been netted off against the 116,496 ordinary shares which would have otherwise been acquired on 8 August 2018.
Following the purchase, the Investment Manager's total holding of Ordinary Shares is 822,621.
Total Voting Rights
At the date of this announcement (and following the conversion of the Company's C Shares of £0.10 each in July 2018) the issued share capital of the Company consists of 98,724,581 Ordinary Shares, with each share carrying one voting right. The Company does not hold any Ordinary Shares in Treasury.
Therefore, the total number of voting rights in the Company is 98,724,581 (the 'Figure').
The Figure may be used by shareholders as the denominator for the calculations by which they will determine if they are required to notify their interest in, or a change to their interest in the Company under the FCA's Disclosure Guidance and Transparency Rules.
