APQ Global - CULS issuance and income target achieved

Following shareholder approval at the December EGM, APQ has issued an additional £10.3m in 3.5% convertible unsecured loan stocks (CULS) at a 3% premium to par value. The CULS provide long-term structural gearing at a fixed cost, the proceeds of which will be deployed in line with the company’s business and investment strategy. APQ has also changed its reporting currency from sterling to US dollars so as to more closely match its investments. Separately, it has reported an unaudited 31 December net book value per share of US$128.1 and declared a fourth quarterly DPS of 1.5p. Total DPS of 6.0p declared in respect of 2017 matches the target set at IPO and takes the annual US$ NAV total return to 9.9%.
