Net Asset Value and Performance

Further to the announcements made on 20 and 24 January 2020 and 13 February 2020, the publication of the NAV per Ordinary Share has been delayed whilst the Company undertakes a valuation of certain Anaerobic Digestion ("AD") assets. The Company will announce an update once this review has been completed.

As at 31 January 2020, the unaudited estimated NAV per C Share (1) , which is not impacted by the valuation of the AD assets, was 97.90 pence .

The Company also announces the cumulative NAV total return(2) performance for the C Share class, as at 31 January 2020, is as follows:

 
  Month-to-month   1 year return   3 year return   Return since 
      return                                         inception 
      0.49%            7.43%          13.79%          13.72% 
 

Dividends

The Company announces a dividend of 0.6042 pence per share for both the Ordinary Share and C Share classes for the month ended 31 January 2020, reflecting an annualised dividend of 7.25 pence for each share class. The dividend will be payable on 27 March 2020 to holders of each share class on the register on 6 March 2020. The ex-dividend date is 5 March 2020.

Mindful of feedback received from shareholders, the Company will be undertaking a review of its dividend policy as part of the Strategic Review. Until that review is completed, the Board intends, subject to solvency considerations, to continue to pay a dividend of 0.6042 pence per Ordinary share even though this is not fully covered by underlying income received.

The Board anticipates making an announcement in relation to the Strategic Review during April.

The C Share NAV is quoted before deducting the 0.6042 pence per share dividend, announced on 24 January 2020 that went ex-dividend on 6 February 2020 and will be paid on 28 February 2020.

Performance Footnote(2)

The NAV total return details the change in NAV from the start of the relevant period and assumes that dividends paid to shareholders are reinvested at NAV.
