The Company further announces thatΒ in accordance with the terms of the Investment Advisory Agreement between the Company andΒ Sequoia Investment Management Company LimitedΒ (the "Investment Adviser"), the Board has considered the issue of shares to the Investment Adviser for the relevant portion of the fees payable to the Investment Adviser for the three-month period endedΒ 31 December 2023.

The Investment Adviser had committed to issue an irrevocable instruction upon receipt of the funds to utilise such cash to acquire ordinary shares in the capital of the Company in the market without delay and such shares will be subject to a three-year rolling lock-up in accordance with the terms of the Investment Advisory Agreement.
