Fair Oaks Income Limited

07 December 2023

 

This replaces the announcement released on 6 December 2023 at 16:31:12 with RNS number 9251V. The original announcement stated the deadline for returning election forms to the Registrar as close of business on 13 December 2023. The corrected date of 20 December 2023 has been reflected in the below.  All other details of the original announcement remain unchanged.

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 Realisation Shareholders

The Company announces that it will return US$2,100,000.00 on 20 December 2023 (the "Redemption Date") by way of a compulsory partial redemption of Realisation Shares (the "Third Redemption").

The Third Redemption will be effected at 57.15 US cents per share, being the NAV of the Realisation Shares as at 31 October 2023 of 59.15 US cents per share less the dividend for the period to 30 September 2023 of 2.00 US cents per share. The Redemption will be effected pro rata to holdings of Realisation Shares on the register at the close of business on the Redemption Record Date, being 20 December 2023. As at today's date, the Company has 53,580,881 Realisation Shares in issue of which none are held in treasury. On this basis approximately 6.86 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.

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

The Realisation Shares will all be disabled in CREST after close of business on the Redemption Date and the existing ISIN, GG00BRZRXM78 (the "Old ISIN"), will expire.

The new ISIN, GG00BPG7H086 (the "New ISIN"), in respect of the remaining shares which have not been redeemed will be enabled and available for transactions from and including the following business day, 21 December 2023.

Up to and including the Redemption Date, Realisation Shares will be traded under the Old ISIN and as such, a purchaser of such Realisation 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 close of business on 20 December 2023. 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, Link Group, that you wish to receive your dividends in sterling, you will need to advise them separately using the election mandate form if you also wish to receive redemption payments in sterling.

CREST shareholders must make their currency election via the election mandate form.

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