ANNOUNCEMENT RELATING TO THE CONVERSION OF US DOLLAR SHARES INTO STERLING SHARES
It has come to the Board's attention that the conversion ratio of US Dollar Shares into Sterling Shares announced on 26 February 2016 under RNS number: 3793Q, was incorrect. This error occurred prior to the appointment of J.P. Morgan Asset Management as investment advisor and the subsequent subscription by the Company into Highbridge Capital Corporation.
As a result of this error there has been issued an excess number of Sterling shares to those shareholders whose US Dollar shares were converted. The Company's advisors are working to provide further details of this and announce the steps required to rectify this.
In the interim, the Board requests that those shareholders whose US Dollar Shares were compulsorily converted into Sterling Shares contact the Company's Secretary, JTC (Guernsey) Limited using the details below, prior to making any disposals of such Sterling Shares. The Company will be contacting those shareholders affected to advise them of the details.
Shareholders should note that neither this error nor its rectification should have any impact on the Net Asset Value per share of the Sterling Shares.
7 March 2016
