The Company's cum income NAV per share at close of business on 11 September 2008 was 135.71p. This NAV has been calculated before any adjustment for the Tender Offer to purchase up to 40% of the Company's shares, which has been fully subscribed. Applying the appropriate adjustments arising from the Tender to this NAV per share (including the benefit of enhancement of the exit charge of 2 per cent on shares that were successfully tendered), the adjusted post-Tender NAV as at close of business on Thursday 11 September 2008 (the Calculation Date) for continuing shareholders was 137.56p per share. This is based upon the 82,351,197 shares that will remain in issue following the implementation of the Tender. Hence the tender has contributed an uplift of 1.85p to the Company's NAV, an enhancement of 1.36%. In addition to the shares tendered and repurchased by the Company, a further 1,127,000 shares tendered were purchased by incoming investors. In accordance with the terms of the tender Circular, proceeds of 128.93p per share will be received by the tender pool in relation to these shares, representing 95% of the NAV per share of the Company as at close of business on 11 September 2008 before any tender adjustments. 2. Investments have been valued on a bid price basis. 3. Revenue items included in net asset value, with dividends payable deducted on the ex-dividend date. 4. The capital and cum income NAVs for the Throgmorton Trust plc have been amended to reflect a revision to the Comapny's accounting treatment for the waiver by the Company's manager of management fees to cover agreed costs arising on the transfer of management from AXA to BlackRock and the tender offer. Costs of approximately £1.3m will be borne by BlackRock by way of waiver of management fees charged to the Throgmorton Trust plc. Previously this benefit had been recognised in full; however the board have revised the accounting treatment to amortise the benefit over the intitial term of the management contract which equates to 24 months. The impact on the Company's NAV at 25 November 2008 is a reduction of 1.3%.
