Results of Placing
Further to the announcements on 17 October 2022 and 20 October 2022, the Board of Directors of TwentyFour Income Fund (“TFIF” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce that the Company has successfully placed 45,276,074 Ordinary Shares into the market at the Placing Price of 94.95p. Therefore, all 9,582,068 Ordinary Shares that were elected for realisation in the 2022 Realisation Opportunity have been placed into the market and £34.2m has been raised through the issuance of 35,694,006 New Ordinary Shares under the Placing.
As previously announced, placees will be allocated a proportion of Ordinary Shares at the Redemption Price (91.99p) and a proportion at the Placing Programme Price (95.75p), in each case pro rata to the size of their allocation under the Placing, resulting in all placees paying the same ‘blended’ Placing Price (94.95p).
Director participation
The Directors of the Company have been allocated Ordinary Shares as per the below table (alongside and on the same terms as other investors) at the Placing Price:
| Name | Role | Allocation (Ordinary Shares) |
| Richard Burwood | Non-executive Director | 21,062 |
| Bronwyn Curtis | Non-executive Director | 105,313 |
| Joanne Fintzen | Non-executive Director | 21,062 |
| John de Garis | Non-executive Director | 21,062 |
| John Le Poidevin | Non-executive Director | 236,956 |
Bronwyn Curtis, Chair of TFIF commented: “On 17 October I noted that the small percentage of the shareholder register seeking to realise their shares given the turbulent political backdrop was an endorsement of TFIF’s strategy. Not only have all the shares that were elected for realisation been placed out, but 35.7m new Ordinary Shares will be issued which is an excellent achievement and a testament to the team’s approach in these uncertain times.”

This announcement is not an offer of securities for sale in the United States or elsewhere. The securities of the Company have not been and will not be registered under the Securities Act and may not be offered or sold in the United States unless registered under the Securities Act or pursuant to an exemption from such registration.

Terms and Conditions of the Placing
Each Placee that confirms its agreement with Numis as agent for the Company to participate in the Placing agrees that the Placing shall be made on the terms and subject to the conditions contained in Part 10 of the Prospectus, save that to the extent that part of a Placee's allocation is satisfied by Ordinary Shares provided by the Realisation Opportunity at the Redemption Price, the Placee shall pay: (a) the Redemption Price per Ordinary Share for such Ordinary Shares so allocated; and (b) the Placing Programme Price for the balance of the Ordinary Shares, with the basis of allocation being as detailed in this announcement, and the terms and conditions in respect of the Placing shall be amended accordingly.
Information to Distributors
Solely for the purposes of the product governance requirements contained within: (a) EU Directive 2014/65/EU on markets in financial instruments, as amended (“MiFID II”); (b) Articles 9 and 10 of the Commission Delegated Directive (EU) 2017/593 supplementing MiFID II; (c) local implementing measures; and/or (d) (where applicable to UK investors or UK firms) the relevant provisions of the UK MiFID Laws (including the FCA’s Product Intervention and Governance Sourcebook (PROD) (together the “MiFID II Product Governance Requirements”), and disclaiming all and any liability, whether arising in tort, contract or otherwise, which any “manufacturer” (for the purposes of the MiFID II Product Governance Requirements) may otherwise have with respect thereto, the Ordinary Shares have been subject to a product approval process, which has determined that such Ordinary Shares are: (i) compatible with an end target market of professionally advised retail investors who do not need a guaranteed income or capital protection, who (in conjunction with an appropriate financial or other adviser) are capable of evaluating the merits and risks of such an investment and who have sufficient resources to be able to bear any losses that may result therefrom and investors who meet the criteria of professional clients and eligible counterparties, each as defined in MiFID II or the UK MiFID Laws (as applicable) and who do not need a guaranteed income or capital protection; and (ii) eligible for distribution through all distribution channels as are permitted by MiFID II or the UK MiFID Laws, as applicable (the “Target Market Assessment”). Numis will only procure investors in connection with the Placing who meet the criteria of professional clients and eligible counterparties.
For the avoidance of doubt, the Target Market Assessment does not constitute: (a) an assessment of suitability or appropriateness for the purposes of MiFID II or the UK MiFID laws (as applicable); or (b) a recommendation to any investor or group of investors to invest in, or purchase, or take any other action whatsoever with respect to the Shares.
Any person subsequently offering, selling or recommending the securities (a "distributor") should take into consideration the manufacturer’s target market assessment; however, a distributor subject to the UK MiFID Laws or MiFID II (as applicable) is responsible for undertaking its own target market assessment in respect of the Ordinary Shares (by either adopting or refining the manufacturer’s Target Market Assessment) and determining appropriate distribution channels.
