The Company today announces the conversion of a number of US Dollar Shares into Sterling Shares and also of a number of Sterling Shares into US Dollar Shares (the "Conversion"). On the basis of the net asset values of the Company's shares as at 29 August 2014 (and using spot currency exchange rates as appropriate, in each case as at 29 August 2014), the conversion ratios, calculated in accordance with the Company's articles of incorporation, are as follows:

On the basis of the aggregate level of conversion notices received by the Company, applications have been made for the admission of 529,206 Sterling Shares and also of 247,120 US Dollar Shares to the Official List of the UK Listing Authority (the "Official List") and the main market for listed securities of the London Stock Exchange plc (the "Main Market"). Application has also been made for the cancellation of the listing on the Official List and admission to the Main Market of 871,852 US Dollar Shares and 150,000 Sterling Shares. It is expected that such applications will become effective and that dealings in the Sterling Shares will commence on 9 September 2014. Accordingly, the Company's issued share capital with effect from 9 September 2014 will be as follows:
