Tender Offer

RM Infrastructure Income plc (the "Company") announces that it has today published a circular to Shareholders (the "Circular") which contains details of a tender offer of up to £20 million (the "Tender Offer") to be made to shareholders, together with a notice convening a general meeting of the Company, to be held on 25 September 2024 at 12.00pm.  

Background

Following Shareholder approval of a new investment policy at a general meeting held on 20 December 2023, the Company has since been in a managed wind-down process. The Board has concluded that, in order to return capital to Shareholders from the proceeds of the Company's Loans that have been repaid to it, the Company should undertake a Tender Offer for a minimum of £16 million, up to £20 million. The final quantum will be determined by reference to the amount of cash available to the Company prior to the closing of the Tender Offer.

The Tender Offer, which is subject to Shareholder approval, is being made at a Tender Price equal to the prevailing Net Asset Value per Ordinary Share as at 30 August 2024, which is expected to be the prevailing Net Asset Value per Ordinary Share at the time of announcement of (i) the final maximum aggregate value of the Tender Offer; (ii) the final number of Available Shares; (iii) the Tender Price; and (iv) the Basic Entitlement percentage of Eligible Shareholders. Those details are expected to be announced by the Company on 19 September 2024. Completion of the Tender Offer is expected to take place on 26 September 2024.

The Tender Offer

The Board has arranged for Singer Capital Markets to conduct the Tender Offer at the Tender Price. The Tender Price will be paid to tendering Shareholders in cash.

The Tender Offer will only be open to Eligible Shareholders on the register at 6.00 p.m. on 24 September 2024 (the Tender Record Date). The Tender Offer is subject to certain conditions and may be suspended or terminated in certain circumstances, as set out in the Circular.

The Tender Offer is intended to enable those Shareholders (other than Restricted Shareholders) who wish to sell some or all of their Ordinary Shares to elect to do so, subject to the overall limits of the Tender Offer. Shareholders who successfully tender Ordinary Shares will receive the Tender Price per Ordinary Share. The Tender Price has been set at this level to allow Shareholders who wish to realise a portion of their holding of Ordinary Shares to do so at NAV.

An Eligible Shareholder tendering up to their Basic Entitlement will have their tender satisfied in full. Any Eligible Shareholder tendering more than their Basic Entitlement will have their Excess Application satisfied if there are sufficient remaining Available Shares. Such Available Shares shall be apportioned to Eligible Shareholders pro rata to their Excess Applications should other Eligible Shareholders not tender the full amount of their Basic Entitlement and as a result of certain Overseas Shareholders not being permitted to participate in the Tender Offer.

In making the Tender Offer, Singer Capital Markets will purchase the Ordinary Shares which have been validly tendered as principal by means of an on-market purchase from tendering Shareholders and, subject to Singer Capital Markets requiring the Company to repurchase such Ordinary Shares in accordance with the terms of the Repurchase Agreement, will sell the tendered Ordinary Shares acquired by it on to the Company pursuant to the terms of the Repurchase Agreement. All Ordinary Shares acquired by the Company from Singer Capital Markets under the Repurchase Agreement will be cancelled.

It remains the Board's intention to make further distributions to Shareholders during the Company's ongoing managed wind-down process. The timing and structure of any further distributions (which could include returns of capital under further tender offers) will be determined by the Board taking into account the Company's available cash balance from time to time and the relative costs of any such distributions in order to maximise the value to be delivered to Shareholders in a timely manner.

General Meeting

The implementation of the Tender Offer requires the approval of Shareholders. A notice convening a General Meeting of the Company, which is to be held at 12.00 p.m. on 25 September 2024 at the offices of the RM Infrastructure Income Plc, 6th Floor, 125 London Wall, London EC2Y 5AS, is set out in Part 10 of the Circular.
