Result of Placing
Further to the announcement of 10 March 2021, the Board of Aberdeen Standard European Logistics Income PLC (the "Company" or "ASLI") is pleased to announce that the Company proposes to issue 18.45 million new ordinary shares in the capital of the Company ("New Ordinary Shares") at a price of 105 pence per share (the "Issue"), raising gross proceeds of £19.4 million. The Issue was over-subscribed at the issue price and a scaling back process was undertaken.
Application has been made to the Financial Conduct Authority for admission of the New Ordinary Shares to the premium segment of the Official List and to London Stock Exchange plc for admission to trading of the New Ordinary Shares on its main market for listed securities (the "Main Market"), (together, "Admission"). It is expected that Admission will become effective, and that dealings in the New Ordinary Shares on the Main Market will commence at 8.00 a.m. on 16 March 2021.
Following the issue of the New Ordinary Shares, the total number of voting rights in the Company will be 262,950,001. This figure may be used by shareholders in determining the denominator for the calculation by which they will establish if they are required to notify their interest in, or a change to their interest in, the Company under the FCA's Disclosure and Transparency Rules.
Tony Roper, Chairman of ASLI said:
"We are very pleased with the support shown from our existing and new shareholders. By utilising the total remaining issuance authority and the Company's €40 million loan facility, the Investment Manager has sufficient capital to fund its near-term pipeline. We also hope to announce the completion of the Company's fifteenth acquisition later this month."
The ticker for the Company's ordinary shares is ASLI. The ISIN for the Company's ordinary shares is GB00BD9PXH49 and the SEDOL is BD9PXH4.
