Proposed Cancellation of trading on AIM and Liquidation
The Company is pleased to announce that in accordance with its Managed Wind-down process, it has now fully realised all of the assets in its investment portfolio in an orderly manner and in accordance with its Investment Objective and Policy.
Consequently the Company announces that it intends to return GBP7,000,000 by way of a third Compulsory Redemption (further details to be announced separately today), and has now commenced the process, subject to Shareholder approval, of cancelling the admission of its Shares to trading on AIM, and approving the appointment of liquidators.
Rule 41 of the AIM Rules requires an AIM company that wishes to cancel admission of its securities to trading on AIM to notify such intended cancellation to the public and separately to inform the London Stock Exchange of its preferred cancellation date. That rule also requires that, unless the London Stock Exchange otherwise agrees, the cancellation must be conditional upon the consent of not less than 75 per cent. of votes cast by the Shareholders, given in a general meeting.
In accordance with the above, the Company hereby notifies the proposed cancellation of the admission of its Shares to trading on AIM, subject to Shareholder approval at an extraordinary general meeting expected to be held on 18 December 2025 (the " EGM"). If the relevant resolution is passed, the expected date of the cancellation of admission to trading on AIM will be 19 December 2025.
An explanatory circular further detailing these proposals is expected to be posted to Shareholders on or around 28 November 2025, together with a notice convening the EGM (the " Circular").
Capitalised terms used but not defined in this announcement will have the same meaning as set out in the circular of the Company published on 19 March 2025, unless the context indicates otherwise.
