C Share Class Meeting

A General Meeting of holders of C Shares (the Class Meeting) was held immediately following the conclusion of the AGM.

The single resolution recommended that the reference rate for the calculation of the preferential dividends on C Shares, currently calculated as 75% of 6-month Sterling LIBOR, is replaced with the Bank of England Bank Rate and that the Articles of Association are updated to reflect this.

Payments to shareholders

The Board decided in 2020 that, given the uncertain macro outlook, they would not recommend a final shareholder payment for 2019 or make an interim shareholder payment for 2020. In addition, under the terms of certain of its recent loan facilities, the Company is restricted from declaring, making or paying distributions to shareholders on or prior to 31 December 2022 and from declaring, making or paying distributions to shareholders from 1 January 2023 unless certain conditions are satisfied. The restrictions on distributions do not prevent shareholders from redeeming C Shares issued in January 2020 or prior to that.

Shareholders wishing to redeem their existing C Shares or participate in the CRIP must lodge instructions with the Registrar to arrive no later than 5.00pm on 1 June 2022 (CREST holders must submit their election in CREST by 2.55pm). The payment of C Share redemption monies will be made on 5 July 2022 and the CRIP purchase will begin as soon as practicable after 5 July 2022.
