By virtue of the points set out in (1) to (4) below, the Directors and the Company do not currently expect there to be any inside information arising in the closed period as defined by the EU Market Abuse Regulation. The closed period will end on the date of the announcement of the Company's Annual Financial Report for the year ended 30 September 2017.

If, during the closed period leading up to the announcement of the Annual Financial Report, the Company or its Directors become aware of any inside information, such inside information will be managed in accordance with the UKLA's DTR 2.

The Company is therefore not prohibited from dealing in its own securities during the closed period.

1) the announcement on 5 October 2017 of the net asset values per share as of the close of business on 30 September 2017,

2) the Company's belief, following reasonable enquiries, that there will be no material difference between the information published on 5 October 2017 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, and

4) there being no other unpublished information which constitutes price-sensitive information in respect of the Company's securities.
