Publication of a prospectus

 

Edinburgh Worldwide Investment Trust plc (the "Company") has today published a prospectus approved by the Financial Conduct Authority in relation to the issue of up to 173,134,347 new ordinary shares in the capital of the Company (the "New Shares"). The prospectus is required to allow the Company to issue New Shares to meet market demand and will be valid for 12 months from the date of publication.

It is currently intended that the New Shares will be issued only: (i) at a premium to the net asset value per share at the time of issue; (ii) to meet demand from investors; and (iii) when the Directors believe that it is in the best interests of the Company and shareholders to do so.

A copy of the prospectus will shortly be available for inspection on the Company's website at www.edinburghworldwide.co.uk and at the National Storage Mechanism which is located at https://data.fca.org.uk/#/nsm/nationalstoragemechanism .
