NB Global Floating Rate Income Fund Limited (the "Company")
Conversion between Share Classes
The Company today announces the conversion of a number of Sterling Shares into US Dollar Shares and also a number of US Dollar Shares into Sterling Shares (the "Conversion"). On the basis of the net asset values of the Company's shares as at 28 February 2015 (and also spot currency exchange rates as appropriate, in each case as at 28 February 2015), the conversion ratios, calculated in accordance with the Company's articles of incorporation, are as follows:
GBP to USD 1.53160486
USD to GBP 0.65290992
On the basis of the aggregate level of conversion notices received by the Company, applications have been made for the admission of 145,920 US Dollar Shares and 15,251 Sterling 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 95,273 Sterling Shares and 23,360 US Dollar Shares. It is expected that such applications will become effective and that dealing in the Sterling Shares and US Dollar Shares will commence on 11 March 2015. Accordingly, the Company's issued share capital with effect from 11 March 2015 will be as follows:
1,240,885,467 Sterling Shares (2,809,628 are held in Treasury as at 4 March 2015)
60,890,310 US Dollar Shares
US Dollar Shares have 1 vote per share and Sterling Shares have 1.6 votes per share. Following Conversion (which is expected to take place on 11 March 2015) the total number of voting rights in the Company will be 2,041,811,652. This figure may be used by shareholders as the denominator for the calculations by which they will determine if they are required to notify their interest in, or a change to their interests in the Company under the FCA's Disclosure and Transparency Rules.
Unless otherwise defined, capitalised terms shall have the meaning given to them in the prospectus of the Company dared 30 September 2013.
Note: The issued share capital with effect from 11 March 2015 may be subject to change due to the current on-going transactions in own shares of the Company.
