25 August 2017

 

For Immediate Release

 

Vietnam Infrastructure Limited

(the "Company")

 

Notice of Cancellation, Cash Distribution and Extraordinary General Meeting

 

Following the divestment of the last remaining Private Equity Portfolio investments, the Board of Directors of the Company are pleased to announce an aggregate cash distribution to Private Equity Shareholders (the "Shareholders") of US$12.6 million (the "Distribution") representing US$0.0361 for each Private Equity Share of US$0.01 each ("Private Equity Shares") currently in issue. The Record Date for the Distribution is Friday 29 September.

In conjunction with the Distribution, the Company announces that it has today published a circular (the "Circular") including a Notice of Extraordinary General Meeting setting out details of the recommended proposals for the voluntary winding up of the Company under the laws of the Cayman Islands, the appointment of joint liquidators and the cancellation of admission of the Private Equity Shares to trading on AIM (the "Resolutions"). The Extraordinary General Meeting of the Company (the "EGM") will take place on 9 October 2017 at 2.30 p.m. UK time at which Shareholders will be asked to approve the Resolutions. Further details of the EGM and the Resolutions are contained in the Circular that will be sent to Shareholders today. A copy of the Circular will also be available on the Company's website http://vni-fund.com

Subject to the passing of the Resolutions by the requisite majority, admission of the Private Equity Shares to trading on AIM will be cancelled with effect from 7.00 a.m. on 10 October 2017, following which the Company's Private Equity Shares will no longer be tradeable.

The Private Equity Shares will be suspended from trading at 7.30 a.m. on 9 October 2017 in advance of the EGM, as the commencement of the liquidation process will render the Company inappropriate for admission to trading on AIM. No mechanism to enable Private Equity Shares to be traded following cancellation will be made available to shareholders and the Private Equity Shares will not be transferable once the Company enters liquidation without the consent of the liquidators.

The expected timetable for the Distribution and the EGM is as follows:
