FAIR OAKS INCOME LIMITED (the "Company")

 

(Incorporated in Guernsey under The Companies (Guernsey) Law, 2008, as amended, with registered number 58123 and registered as a Registered Closed-ended Collective Investment Scheme with the Guernsey Financial Services Commission)

 

RETURN OF CAPITAL TO 2014 SHAREHOLDERS

 

The Company today announces that it will return $910,994.49 (equivalent to 1.921 cents per share) on 28 July 2017 (the "Redemption Date") by way of a compulsory partial redemption of 2014 Shares (the "Third Redemption").

The Third Redemption will be effected at 98.28 cents, being the NAV per 2014 Share as at 30 June 2017. The Redemption will be effected pro rata to holdings of 2014 Shares on the register at the close of business on the Redemption Record Date, being 28 July 2017. As at today's date, the Company has 47,428,202 2014 Shares in issue of which none is held in treasury. On this basis 1.9544 per cent. of each registered shareholding would be redeemed on the Redemption Date.

Fractions of shares will not be redeemed and so the number of shares to be redeemed for each shareholder will be rounded down to the nearest whole number of shares.

The amount to be applied to the partial redemption of shares comprises monies from the Company's existing cash balances.

All shares that are redeemed will be cancelled with effect from the relevant Redemption Date. Accordingly, once redeemed, shares will be incapable of transfer.

 

The 2014 Shares will all be disabled in CREST after close of business on the Redemption Date and the existing ISIN number GG00BF00L128 (the "Old ISIN") will expire.

 

The new ISIN number GG00BF1Y5666 (the "New ISIN") in respect of the remaining 2014 Shares which have not been redeemed will be enabled and available for transactions from and including 31 July 2017.

 

Up to and including the Redemption Date, 2014 Shares will be traded under the Old ISIN and as such, a purchaser of such 2014 Shares would have a market claim for a proportion of the redemption proceeds. CREST will automatically transform any open transactions as at the Redemption Date into the New ISIN.

 

The default payment will be US Dollars. However, redemption payments can also be paid in Sterling providing the relevant shareholder has registered to receive redemption payments in Sterling. This can be done by completing the election form being posted to all shareholders today, which is also available on the Company's website at http://www.fairoaksincome.com. Election forms must be returned to the Registrar by the redemption record date on 28 July 2017. An announcement will be made prior to the redemption monies being paid to confirm the rate per share to be used to pay shareholders.

 

Please note that if you have previously advised the Registrar, Capita Asset Services, that you wish to receive your dividends in sterling, you will need to advise them separately if you also wish to receive redemption payments in sterling. If, for previous redemption payments, you instructed the Registrar, Capita Asset Services, that you wished to receive redemption payments in Sterling then you will not need to repeat this instruction. However, if you now wish to revoke the sterling election you should write to the Registrar, Capita Asset Services prior to the redemption record date on 28 July 2017 requesting that the election be removed and that you wish to receive payment in US Dollars.

CREST shareholders must elect via the election form.

 

The Board anticipates that the Company will receive future distributions from the Master Fund such that further share redemptions may be declared on a quarterly basis. However, shareholders should note that the Board retains absolute discretion as to the execution, pricing and timing of any returns of capital.
