Change of accounting reference date

The Company announces that, as disclosed in the Company's annual report and accounts for the period ending 31 December 2021, the Company has changed its accounting reference date to 31 March. Accordingly, its current accounting period will now end on 31 March 2022. The change in accounting reference date has been made in connection with the Company's intention to apply to HMRC for investment trust status since, once the necessary conditions are met, the status will only take effect from the beginning of the next financial period.

As a result of the changes, the Company's financial calendar for the coming year will be as set out below. If possible, the Directors intend to hold the annual general meetings to: (i) receive the annual report and accounts for the year ending 31 December 2021; and (ii) receive the annual report and accounts for the shortened period ending on 31 March 2022 on the same day in order to conduct the Company's business as efficiently as possible.
