Share Repurchase Programme

Following the completion of the Offer made pursuant to the circular dated 8 October 2019 (the “Circular”), the Company is pleased to announce further details of its share repurchase programme.

In line with the intentions stated in the Circular to repurchase up to 14.99 per cent. of the total issued share capital per annum (based on the 8% authorisation given by the shareholders on the AGM dated 28 May 2019 and as a result of the total issued share capital reduction), the Company intends to make monthly redemption requests to BG Fund in order to provide the necessary funds to repurchase approximately 1.0 per cent. to 1.5 per cent. of its issued share capital each month.

The implementation of the share repurchase programme is at the discretion of the Board and the level of repurchases each month may differ from the amounts set out in this announcement, subject to the demand for and rating of the Company’s shares and the prevailing market conditions.

The Company has made an initial redemption request to BG Fund and expects to be in a position to commence the share repurchase programme during December 2019.
