Entitlements under the Scheme
As at the Calculation Date, Fund Shareholders’ entitlements under the Scheme calculated in accordance with the terms of the Scheme were as follows:
Rollover Pool NAV per Share: 141.710909 pence
Cash Pool NAV per Share: 139.786217 pence
The ETF Initial Issue Price was CAD$ 10 (converted into GBP at the prevailing exchange rate between GBP and CAD as at the Calculation Date, being 16 October 2025). The net asset value per ETF Share, once received on 23 October 2025, may differ from the Initial Issue Price due to, inter alia, fluctuations in the exchange rate between GBP and CAD and changes in the value of the Fund’s investments between the Calculation Date and the Effective Date. The net asset value per ETF Share will be available at .
Based upon the above, Fund Shareholders will receive the following cash and/or number of ETF Shares:
For Fund Shareholders that elected (or are deemed to have elected) for the Cash Option:
- Each Fund Share with “B” rights attached to it will receive 139.786217 pence in cash.
For Fund Shareholders that are deemed to have elected for the Rollover Option to receive ETF Shares (in the form of CREST Depository Interests):
- Each Fund Share with “A” rights attached to it will roll over into approximately 0.267545 ETF Shares (in the form of CREST Depository Interests). Fractional entitlements to the ETF Shares will not be issued, and entitlements will be rounded down to the nearest whole number. Accordingly, a holder of 1,000 Fund Shares would receive 267 ETF Shares (in the form of CREST Depository Interests). It is anticipated that a total of 15,017,071 ETF Shares (in the form of CREST Depository Interests) will be issued to those Fund Shareholders who rollover into the ETF. Dealings in the ETF Shares are expected to commence on 23 October 2025.
As noted in the Circular, the Liquidators, in consultation with the Directors, have set aside sufficient assets in the Liquidation Pool to meet all current and future, actual and contingent liabilities of the Fund, including the costs of the winding up of the Company and Fund and the costs of implementing the Scheme. The Liquidators have also provided in the Liquidation Pool for a retention of £100,000 which they, together with the Directors, consider sufficient to meet any contingent and unknown liabilities of the Fund.
The Liquidation Pool will be applied by the Liquidators in discharging all current and future, actual and contingent liabilities of the Company and Fund and any balance remaining after discharging such liabilities from the Liquidation Pool will in due course be distributed to Fund Shareholders on the Register on the Effective Date pro rata to their respective holdings of Fund Shares in accordance with the terms of the Scheme.
Following the appointment of the Liquidators, all further enquiries regarding the Company and Fund should be made to the Liquidators, whose contact details are below.
All further queries regarding the Rollover Option should be made to Middlefield International Limited, whose contact details are below.
In accordance with the Circular, Fund Shareholders that are deemed to have elected for the Rollover Option will receive their ETF Shares in the form of CREST Depository Interests via CREST, on 23 October 2025. Fund Shareholders who elected, or are deemed to have elected, for the Cash Option are expected to receive their entitlements in the week commencing 3 November 2025 via CREST and/or cheque.
