Tender Offer Update

The following replaces the Tender Offer Update announcement which was released at 3.18 p.m. on 14 January 2021 under RNS number 7611L and which contained incorrect figures for the Tender Offer Asset Value and Tender Price.

Further to the announcement on 14 December 2020, the Board of Gulf Investment confirms that all assets in the Tender Pool have been sold. 12 January 2021 will be the Tender Pool Determination Date. As at that date, the Final Tender Offer Asset Value was $60,721,266, giving a Tender Price of $1.4940.

Panmure Gordon will, as principal, on the terms and subject to the conditions of the Tender Offer being satisfied, buy the 40,643,418 Tendered Shares at the Tender Price in the market then sell the Tendered Shares on to the Company at the Tender Price in line with the Repurchase Agreement, with this expected to happen on or around 21 January 2021.

The Board is proposing to hold 5,757,536 Tendered Shares in treasury, with the remaining 34,885,882 Tendered Shares being cancelled.

It is expected that the proceeds payable to shareholders whose tendered shares are held through CREST accounts will be made by 29 January 2021 and that cheques for the certificated Shares purchased under the Tender Offer will be despatched by 29 January 2021.

For the purposes of this announcement, unless otherwise defined, capitalised words and phrases shall have the meaning given to them in the Circular.
