Update on Assets
The Board of the Company is pleased to announce that a package of loans secured against shipping vessels to a single borrower, which were underwritten by the Company have been refinanced with another provider. The loans have been refinanced for consideration of US$35.00m. As the loans were held within both the Ordinary and C Share class portfolio, US$16.61m and US$18.39m will be allocated to the Ordinary and C Share class portfolio respectively.
As at 31 December 2020, the loans had a total carrying value of £19.09m (US$26.22m1), or £8.94m (US$12.28m1) and £10.15m (US$13.94m1) respectively across the Ordinary and C Share Class Portfolio. The loans were marked as Borrower 8 within the Ordinary Share Class Portfolio and Borrower 47, 48 and 51 within C Share Class Portfolio in the December 2020 Half-Yearly Report and Accounts. The higher consideration received compared to the carrying value reflects the improved underlying value of the shipping vessels during the intervening period.
The Directors intend to convene a board meeting in the near future to consider a further return of capital.
1. For consistency the same exchange rate, GBP:USD 1.37, was used as within the December 2020 Half-Yearly Report and Accounts.
