MITON GLOBAL OPPORTUNITIES PLC
Realisation Opportunity for Shareholders – Result of Election
2 October 2018
Further to the Circular to Shareholders dated 10 September 2018 (the “Circularâ€) in respect of the 2018 Realisation Opportunity, Miton Global Opportunities plc (the “Companyâ€) announces that it has received the following levels of election by 1.00 pm on 1 October 2018:
Maximum number of ordinary shares available to elect: | 28,004,985 |
Total elections received: | 434,197 |
Percentage taken up: | 1.55% |
Tender applications received: | 25 |
The net asset value per ordinary share as at 27 September 2018, the Election Determination Date, was 276.86 pence (cum income).
The Realisation Price for the Elected Shares is therefore 272.43 pence per ordinary share, a 1.6% discount to the NAV.
The 2018 Realisation Opportunity is still conditional on the proposals set out in the Circular being approved at the General Meeting of the Company to be held on 5 October 2018 at 11.45 am.
As previously announced, the Company proposed in the Circular to:
change the Articles so that the form of the Realisation Opportunity currently contemplated can be amended to provide the Company with additional flexibility;
approve the form of the 2018 Realisation Opportunity, which provides Shareholders with the option to either:
retain their current investment in the Company; or
realise their investment in the Company, by making a Realisation Election which is intended to be satisfied in cash at the Realisation Price, which will represent a 1.6% discount to NAV per Ordinary Share as at Election NAV Determination Date; and
amend the index referenced in the Company’s investment objective and, as a consequence, the index used to calculate performance fees potentially payable, in certain circumstances, to the Investment Manager.
