The Company announces that it is satisfied, by virtue of the points listed below, that all inside information which the Directors and the Company may have in the closed period (as defined by the EU Market Abuse Regulation) which ends on the date of the announcement of the Half Yearly Report for the period ended 31 January 2020 has been notified to a Regulated Information Service ("RIS").

3)   the Company's practice of calculating net asset values per share each business day and the announcement of these net asset values to an RIS;

4)   there being no other unpublished information which constitutes price-sensitive information in respect of the Company's securities; and

5)   there being no unquoted investments within the Company's portfolio.
