quoted prices.

This list includes all investments with a value greater than 5% of Electra's

This announcement was made in accordance with the Listing Rule 15.4.10 (2) which

Information Service, within two business days of the end of each quarter, a list
of all investments with a value greater than 5% of the company's gross assets
and at least the company's ten largest investments as at the last business day
of that quarter.
