complete. No reliance may be placed for any purpose on the
information contained in this announcement or its accuracy or
completeness.
This announcement is an
advertisement and not a prospectus and investors should not
subscribe for or purchase any shares referred to in this
announcement except on the basis of information to be contained in
the Prospectus, when published.
The material in this announcement is
for informational purposes only and does not constitute an offer of

subscribe for securities in Australia, Canada, Japan, New Zealand,
the Republic of South Africa, any EEA State or any other
jurisdiction in which such an offer or solicitation is
unlawful.
This announcement is not for
publication or distribution, directly or indirectly, in or into the
United States of America. This announcement is not an offer of
securities for sale into the United States. The securities referred
to herein have not been and will not be registered under the United
States Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and may not be offered
or sold within the United States except pursuant to an applicable
exemption from registration. No public offering of securities is
being made in the United States.
This announcement has been issued by
and is the sole responsibility of the Company.
Any purchase of Ordinary Shares in
the proposed Capital Raising should be made solely on the basis of
the information to be contained in the final Prospectus to be
issued by the Company in connection with the Capital Raising, Rule

person for any purposes whatsoever on the information contained in

subject to verification, material updating, revision and
amendment.
The timetable for the Capital
Raising, including the date of Admission, and Share Consolidation,
including the date of Admission of the Consolidated Shares, may be
influenced by a range of circumstances such as market conditions.
There is no guarantee that the Capital Raising, Admission, the
Share Consolidation and Admission of the Consolidated Shares will
occur and you should not base your financial decisions on the
Company's intentions in relation to the Capital Raising, Admission,
the Share Consolidation and Admission of the Consolidated Shares at
this stage. Acquiring Ordinary Shares to which this announcement
relates may expose an investor to a significant risk of losing all
of the amount invested. Persons considering making such an
investment should consult an authorised person specialising in
advising on such investments. This announcement does not constitute
a recommendation concerning the Capital Raising. The value of
Ordinary Shares can decrease as well as increase. Potential
investors should consult a professional adviser as to the
suitability of the Capital Raising for the person concerned. Past
performance or information in this announcement or any of the
documents relating to the Capital Raising cannot be relied upon as
a guide to future performance.
Peel Hunt LLP ("Peel Hunt") and
Panmure Gordon (UK) Limited ("Panmure Gordon") (together the
"Banks"), are authorised and regulated in the United Kingdom by the
FCA, are acting as joint sponsor, joint financial adviser and joint
broker in relation to the Capital Raising and Admission exclusively
for the Company and no one else in connection with the matters
referred to in this announcement, and will not be responsible to
anyone other than the Company for providing the protections
afforded to their respective clients, for the contents of this
announcement or for providing any advice in relation to this
announcement. Neither of the Banks nor any of their affiliates (nor
any of their respective directors, officers, employees or agents),
owes or accepts any duty, liability or responsibility whatsoever
(whether direct or indirect, whether in contract, in tort, under
statute or otherwise) to any person who is not a client of the
Banks in connection with this announcement, any statement contained
herein or otherwise.
Apart from the responsibilities and
liabilities, if any, which may be imposed by the FCA, FSMA or the
regulatory regime established thereunder, neither of the Banks, nor
any person affiliated with them, accepts any responsibility
whatsoever and makes no representation or warranty, express or
implied, in respect of the contents of this announcement, including
its accuracy or completeness, or for any other statement made or
purported to be made by any of them, or on behalf of them, in
connection with the Company or any matter described in this
announcement and nothing in this announcement is or shall be relied
upon as a promise or representation in this respect, whether as to
the past or future. Neither of the Banks have approved the contents
of, or any part of, this announcement and no liability whatsoever
is accepted by the Banks for the accuracy of any information or
opinions contained in this announcement and, accordingly, each of
the Banks and their respective affiliates disclaims, to the fullest
extent permitted by law, all and any liability whatsoever, whether
arising in tort, contract or otherwise (save as referred to above)
which it might otherwise have to any person, other than the
Company, in respect of this announcement or any such
statement.
None of the Company, the Investment
Adviser, the Asset Manager nor any of their respective affiliates
or agents accepts any responsibility or liability whatsoever for,
or makes any representation or warranty, express or implied, as to
this announcement, including the truth, accuracy or completeness of
the information in this announcement (or whether any information
has been omitted from the announcement) or any other information
relating to the Company, whether written, oral or in a visual or
electronic form, and howsoever transmitted or made available or for
any loss howsoever arising from any use of the announcement or its
contents or otherwise arising in connection therewith. The Company,
the Investment Adviser and the Asset Manager and their respective
affiliates accordingly disclaim all and any liability whether
arising in tort, contract or otherwise which they might otherwise
have in respect of this announcement or its contents or otherwise
arising in connection therewith.
No statement in this announcement or
incorporated by reference into this announcement is intended as a
profit forecast or profit estimate for any period and no statement
in this announcement or incorporated by reference into this
announcement should be interpreted to mean that the earnings or
earnings per share of the Company will necessarily be greater or
lesser than those for the relevant preceding financial periods for
the Company.
This announcement includes
statements that are, or may be deemed to be, "forward looking
statements". These forward looking statements can be identified by
the use of forward looking terminology, including the terms
"believes", "projected", "estimates", "forecasts", "plans",
"potential", "prepares", "anticipates", "expects", "intends",
"may", "will", "could" or "should" or, in each case, their negative
or other variations or comparable terminology. These forward
looking statements include all matters about future events and
developments and with respect to future financial results as well
as other statements that do not relate to historical facts and
events. They appear in a number of places throughout this
announcement and include statements regarding the intentions,
beliefs or current expectations of the Group and the Directors
concerning, amongst other things, financing strategies, results of
operations, financial condition, prospects and dividend policy of
the Group and the markets in which it operates.
By their nature, forward looking
statements involve risks and uncertainties because they relate to
events and depend on circumstances that may or may not occur in the
future.
Forward looking statements are not
guarantees of future performance and no assurance can be or is
given that such future results will be achieved. The Group's actual
results of operations, financial condition, dividend policy and the
development of its financing strategies may differ materially from
the impression created by the forward looking statements contained
in this announcement or the Prospectus. Prospective investors must
determine for themselves what reliance (if any) they should place
on such statements, views, projections or forecasts and no
responsibility or liability is accepted by the Company, the Asset
Manager, the Investment Adviser, the AIFM or any of their
respective officers, directors, employees or affiliates in respect
thereof. In addition, even if the results of operations, financial
condition and dividend policy of the Group, and the development of
its financing strategies, are consistent with the forward looking
statements contained in this announcement or the Prospectus, those
results or developments may not be indicative of results or
developments in subsequent periods. Important factors that could
cause these differences include, but are not limited to, those
factors set out in PART 1 of the Prospectus.
Prospective investors are advised to
read the Prospectus in its entirety for a further discussion of the
factors that could affect the Group's future performance
(including, without limitation, the "risk factors" described in
PART 1 of the Prospectus). In light of these risks, uncertainties
and assumptions, the events described in the forward looking
statements in this announcement may not occur.
Consequently, neither the Company
nor the Directors can give any assurances regarding the accuracy of
the opinions set out in this announcement or the Prospectus or the
actual occurrence of any predicted developments.
Subject to their legal and
regulatory obligations (including under the Listing Rules, the UK
Prospectus Regulation, the Prospectus Regulation Rules, the
Disclosure Guidance and Transparency Rules and UK MAR), the Company
and each of the Banks expressly disclaims any obligations to update
or revise any forward looking statement contained herein to reflect
any change in expectations with regard thereto or any change in
events, conditions or circumstances on which any statement is
based. All subsequent forward looking statements that can be
attributed either to the Company or to individuals acting on its
behalf (including the Directors) are expressly qualified in their
entirety by this paragraph.
No statement in this Announcement is
intended as a profit forecast or estimate for any
period.
Information to
Distributors
Solely for the purposes of the
product governance requirements contained within the MiFID II
Product Governance Requirements, and disclaiming all and any
liability whether arising in tort, contract or otherwise, which any
"manufacturer" (for the purposes of the MiFID II Product Governance
Requirements) may otherwise have with respect thereto, the New
Ordinary Shares have been subject to a product approval process,
which has determined that such securities are: (i) compatible with
an end target market of retail investors and investors who meet the
criteria of professional clients and eligible counterparties, each
as defined in the FCA's Product Intervention and Governance
Sourcebook ("PROD"); and (ii) eligible for distribution through all
distribution channels as are permitted by PROD for each type of
investor (the "Target Market Assessment").
Notwithstanding the Target Market
Assessment, distributors (such term to have the same meaning as in
the MiFID II Product Governance Requirements) should note that: the
market price of the New Ordinary Shares may decline and investors
could lose all or part of their investment; the New Ordinary Shares
offer no guaranteed income and no capital protection; and an
investment in the New Ordinary Shares is compatible only with
investors who do not need a guaranteed income or capital
protection, who (either alone or in conjunction with an appropriate
financial or other adviser) are capable of evaluating the merits
and risks of such an investment and who have sufficient resources
to be able to bear any losses that may result therefrom. The Target
Market Assessment is without prejudice to the requirements of any
contractual, legal or regulatory selling restrictions in relation
to the Capital Raising.
For the avoidance of doubt, the
Target Market Assessment does not constitute: (a) an assessment of
suitability or appropriateness for the purposes of the UK MiFID
Laws; or (b) a recommendation to any investor or group of investors
to invest in, or purchase, or take any other action whatsoever with
respect to the New Ordinary Shares. Each distributor is responsible
for undertaking its own target market assessment in respect of the
New Ordinary Shares and determining appropriate distribution
channels.
This Announcement has not been
approved by the Financial Conduct Authority or the London Stock
Exchange.
