Share Conversion Facility

Under the articles of association of the Company, shareholders have the right to convert their Income shares into Growth shares and/or their Growth shares into Income shares upon certain dates.  The next conversion date was scheduled to be 29 October 2010.

Following the passing of the deadline for shareholders to submit conversion instructions on 30 September 2010, the Board announces that the total value of assets requested to be transferred, at £84,500, is significantly less than the specified minimum of £250,000 as set out in the 2010 Annual Report and Accounts. A significant minimum has to be set in order to justify the costs of the exercise. Accordingly the share conversion will not now proceed and no shares will be converted on 29 October 2010.

Shareholders who have submitted conversion instructions will now be notified.

The next scheduled share conversion will be in October 2011.
