Silvercloud (Le Chameau) revaluation

The Company holds all its investments through Marwyn Value Investors L.P. (the "Master Fund"). For the estimated NAV as at 31 December 2021, the Master Fund's investment in Silvercloud Holdings Limited (through which the investment in Le Chameau is held) attributable to the 2016 realisation shares has been revalued to 2.19m from a previous carrying value of 1.53m. This reflects the continued strong performance of Le Chameau through 2021, delivering double-digit % revenue growth, in both its retailer and direct e-commerce channels, along with an increase in gross margin and underlying profitability. The new value of the investment represents 82.05% of the NAV of the 2016 realisation shares as at 31 December 2021.

Potential settlement of VAT reclaim

The estimated net asset value per 2016 realisation share as at 31 December 2021 does not include any amounts relating to the settlement of VAT reclaims arising from a historic investment in Praesepe plc, which operates in the gaming industry (as announced by the Company on 7 September 2021) due to the significant uncertainty of the amount and timing of any such settlement.

Following the partial redemption of 2016 realisation shares in November 2021 (distributing the proceeds of Zegona Communications Plc's tender offer), the number of 2016 realisation shares in issue was reduced from 3,684,055 to 933,070 with a corresponding decrease in total NAV. As a consequence, any amounts received relating to the VAT settlement will have a proportionally higher impact on the current NAV of the 2016 realisation shares as compared to the period prior to the November partial redemption.

* Total shareholder return inception to date is calculated as the movement in total shareholder value, including all distributions made to 2016 realisation shareholders since the creation of the 2016 realisation shares on 30 November 2016.
