Retail distribution of the Company's shares

The Board notes the proposed changes to the FCA rules relating to the restrictions on the retail distribution of unregulated collective investment schemes and close substitutes which will come into effect on 1 January 2014. 

Following the receipt of legal advice, the Board confirms that it conducts its affairs, and intends to continue to conduct its affairs, so that the Company's ordinary shares can be recommended by IFA's to ordinary retail investors in accordance with the FCA's rules in relation to non-mainstream investment products and intends to continue to do so for the foreseeable future. The shares are excluded from the FCA's restrictions which apply to non-mainstream products as the Company's portfolio is wholly or predominantly made up of shares, debentures or government and public securities which are not themselves issued by other investment funds.
