Merger Update: Approval of Scheme

This announcement is made by the Companies in connection with the scheme of reconstruction of MIG2 (the "Scheme"), details of which were contained in the prospectus issued by MIG4 on 5 October 2018 (the "Prospectus"), and the circulars (the "Circulars") and the announcements issued by the Companies on the same date.

The boards of directors of the Companies are pleased to report that the resolution proposed at the second general meeting of MIG2 held today (the "Second General Meeting") was duly passed and that the Scheme has become unconditional.

In implementing the Scheme, the assets and liabilities of MIG2 have been transferred to MIG4, in consideration for the issue of a total of 19,469,302 ordinary shares of 10p each in the capital of MIG4 ("Scheme Shares") to the former shareholders of MIG2 at a deemed issue price of 70.5621p per Scheme Share. Pursuant to the Scheme, Scheme Shares were issued to the former shareholders of MIG2 at a ratio of 0.485100 Scheme Shares for each MIG2 share held. The net asset value of MIG4 following the Scheme is £54,470,837.

Following the issue of the Scheme Shares, the total number of MIG4's issued ordinary shares of 10p each is 77,195,595.

Following the implementation of the Scheme, MIG2 has been placed in members' voluntary liquidation.

Application has been made to the London Stock Exchange for the Scheme Shares to be admitted to trading on its main market for listed securities and it is expected that the Scheme Shares will be admitted to the Official List and that trading will become effective on 16 November 2018.

MIG2 also announces that further to the resolution passed at the Second General Meeting, the listing of its ordinary shares of 10p each on the Official List of the UK Listing Authority will be cancelled with effect from 7.30 am on 16 November 2018.

As set out in the Prospectus, one of the existing directors of MIG2, Peter Linthwaite, has now been appointed as a director of MIG4.  As stated in the Circular of MIG2, as the Scheme has now taken effect, John Lawrence and The Hon. Robert Kissin have now resigned as directors of MIG2.

A copy of the resolution passed at the Second General Meeting has been submitted to the National Storage Mechanism and will shortly be available for inspection at: www.morningstar.co.uk/uk/NSM.
