Extension to the Initial Placing and Offer
The Board announces that the Company is extending the timetable for the Initial Placing and Offer until 11 a.m. on 18 December 2015. On the basis that the Investment Manager is in advanced legal negotiations in relation to the sale of one of the properties in the Company's Property Portfolio, which is expected to complete prior to Admission, the Board is also amending the Minimum Issue Proceeds that are required to be raised prior to Admission to be either £80 million, or if the sale of the property is completed, £65 million. This amendment is being made in order to avoid the Company having surplus cash following the completion of these transactions.
It is expected that the Company will publish a supplemental prospectus early next week in relation to these proposed changes to the terms of the Initial Placing and Offer.
Words and expressions that are defined in the Prospectus shall have the same meanings where they are used in this announcement.
