GROUND RENTS INCOME FUND PLC
EXERCISE OF WARRANTS
Ground Rents Income Fund plc has received warrant exercise notices and subscription monies in respect of 3,310,089 ordinary shares of 50 pence each (the "New Ordinary Shares"). The warrants have been exercised at a subscription price of £1.00 each. The New Ordinary Shares will rank pari passu with the existing ordinary shares in the Company.
As a result of the exercise, the unaudited NAV per share has been diluted by approximately 0.9 per cent. compared to the unaudited NAV per share as at 31 March 2017. The fully diluted unaudited NAV per share is unaffected. The number of warrants outstanding following this exercise is 4,718,273, representing 4.9 per cent. of the issued share capital.
Application has been made for the New Ordinary Shares to be admitted to the Official List of The International Stock Exchange and to trading on the SETSqx platform of the London Stock Exchange. It is expected that admission will become effective, and that dealings in the New Ordinary Shares will commence, on 13 September 2017.
Following this allotment, the issued share capital and total voting rights of the Company will consist of 96,712,100 ordinary shares of 50 pence each. This figure may be used by shareholders as the denominator for the calculations by which they will determine if they are required to notify their interest in, or a change to their interest in, the share capital of the Company.
