Jupiter Green Investment Trust PLC - Proposed C Share Issue
The Board of Directors of Jupiter Green Investment Trust PLC (the "Company")
announces that it proposes to raise new monies through a placing and offer for
subscription of equity securities.
The Board's proposals for a C share issue come in response to strong demand from
investors in the 12 months since the Company was launched on 8 June 2006. In
this period, the Company has seen its undiluted net asset value increase from
97.07p to 126.9p per ordinary share (as at 28 May 2007).
Based on the middle market prices of the Company's ordinary shares and warrants
on the London Stock Exchange at close of business on 1 June 2007, the see-
through value of an investment of 100p at launch would now be 138.10p
(comprising one ordinary share at 127.75p and one fifth of a warrant at 51.75p).
Warrants were issued on a one-for-five basis together with the ordinary shares at
launch.
The Company is a London-listed investment trust which seeks to generate long-
term capital growth for its Ordinary Shareholders through a diverse portfolio of
companies providing environmental solutions. The Company's investment policy is
to achieve the objective by investing globally in companies which have a
significant focus on environmental solutions, such as Clean Energy, Water
Management, Waste Management, Sustainable Living, Environmental Services and
Green Transport.
It is intended to conduct a placing and offer for subscription of C shares (with
warrants attached) at an issue price of 100p per C share. The C shares and
warrants will be converted into ordinary shares and warrants in the Company,
ranking parri passu with the existing securities, once the proceeds of the issue
have been invested by the Company's investment manager.
The Board expects to publish a circular to shareholders seeking their approval
for the issue of up to a maximum of 75 million C shares. The circular will also
comprise a prospectus for the purposes of the placing and the offer for
subscription. A further announcement will be made in due course to confirm the
timing and details of the issue. Arbuthnot Securities is acting as Financial
Adviser, Broker and Sponsor to the issue.
