As the Continuation Resolution for the US Dollar share class was not passed the Directors are required to formulate redemption proposals to be put to the Shareholders of that class within three months of today offering to redeem their Ordinary Shares at the relevant Net Asset Value on the NAV Calculation Date immediately preceding such redemption (less the costs of arranging such redemptions).
A further announcement will be made in due course pursuant to the above.
Pursuant to Article 35(1) of the Company's articles of incorporation, the Board may determine at their discretion whether they wish to offer a monthly conversion facility. Due to the failure of the Continuation Resolution for the US Dollar share class the Board announces the suspension of all future conversions of Euro and Sterling shares into US Dollar shares pending conclusion of the aforementioned redemptions.
