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 once a year.  The next conversion date was scheduled to be 24 October 2013.

Following the passing of the deadline for shareholders to submit conversion instructions on 27 September 2013, the Board announces that the total value of assets requested to be transferred is less than the specified minimum to be transferred from a Portfolio of £250,000 as set out in the 2013 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 24 October 2013.

Shareholders who have submitted conversion instructions will now be notified.

The next scheduled share conversion will be in October 2014.
