Admission to the Specialist Fund Segment

Further to its announcement on 18 July 2019, Oakley Capital Investments Limited¹ (the "Company" or "OCI") is pleased to announce that its entire issued share capital consisting of 204,399,936 Ordinary Shares of £0.01 each has been admitted to trading on the Specialist Fund Segment ("SFS") of the London Stock Exchange's Main Market ("Admission") at 8.00 a.m. today. Trading in the Company's Ordinary Shares on AIM has today been cancelled.

Admission to the SFS follows a period of strong performance for OCI. In the six months ended 30 June 2019, the Company's total NAV is estimated to be in the range of £644 million - £651 million, which represents NAV per share of 315 pence - 318 pence and a total NAV return of at least 13%.

As part of an ongoing review designed to ensure OCI offers investors best-in-class transparency, risk management structures and governance, the Board of OCI concluded that the SFS is a more appropriate market for an investment company of its size and type.

The Company's TIDM code on the London Stock Exchange will continue to be OCI. The ISIN and SEDOL for the Ordinary Shares remain unchanged (ISIN: BMG670131058 / SEDOL: B23DL39).

A copy of the prospectus published in connection with Admission (the "Prospectus") can be accessed on the Company's website at https://oakleycapitalinvestments.com/investor-centre/publications/ and at the National Storage Mechanism at http://www.morningstar.co.uk/uk/NSM.
