ARMS expects cheques to be despatched or CREST accounts to be credited in respect of proceeds under both the Income Option and the Capital Option on or around 8 July 2014.

Further details of the Return of Capital are contained in the circular to shareholders dated 2 June 2014 (the "Circular"). Capitalised terms used in this announcement shall have the same meaning ascribed to them in the Circular.
