Realisation Opportunity and Publication of Circular

When the Company was launched in 2013 it committed to offer Shareholders the opportunity to elect to realise all or a part of their shareholding on or prior to the fourth anniversary of the Company's admission to AIM and, unless it has already been determined that the Company will be wound-up, every two years thereafter. The Admission Document, published on 8 May 2013, stated that the Realisation Opportunity would be made available to Shareholders not less than 56 days before the eighth anniversary of the Company's admission to AIM.

The Company is pleased to announce that a circular (the “Circular”) containing the details of the Realisation Opportunity along with the relevant forms of election were posted to Shareholders of the Company today. A copy of the Circular is available on the Company’s website: www.weisskoreaopportunityfund.com.

In addition, the Company is pleased to announce that it intends to declare an interim dividend to all Shareholders in advance of this process.

All of the Directors and personnel associated with the Investment Manager (who collectively own 11.6 per cent. of the Company’s issued share capital as at 12 March 2021, being the latest practicable date prior to the publication of the Circular), intend to continue their investment in the Company and do not intend to participate in the Realisation Opportunity in respect of all or any part of their respective shareholdings.
