Legal Entity Identifier (LEI):  549300W4KB0D75D1N730

18 September 2024

The Company announces that it is satisfied, by virtue of the points listed below, that all inside information which the Directors and the Company may have in the closed period (as defined by the EU Market Abuse Regulation) which ends on the date of the announcement of the Annual Financial Report for the 12 months ended 31 August 2024 has been notified to a Regulated Information Service ("RIS"). The Company is therefore not prohibited from purchasing its own securities during this period.

In so stating the Company has regard to;

1)    the announcement on 5 September 2024 of the net asset value per share as of the close of business on 31 August 2024;

2)    the Company's belief, following reasonable enquiries, that there will be no material difference between the information published on 5 September 2024 and that to be included in the forthcoming announcement of the Annual Financial Report;

3)    the Company's practice of calculating net asset values per share each business day and the announcement of these net asset values to an RIS;

4)    there being no other unpublished information which constitutes price-sensitive information in respect of the Company's securities; and

5)    there being no unquoted investments within the Company's portfolio.

If, in the period leading up to the announcement of the annual results, the Directors of the Company come into the possession of any inside information, the Company will cease any further purchases of its own securities until such inside information has been notified via an RIS in accordance with the UK Market Abuse Regulation.
