Company Aberforth Split Level Income Trust PLC

Aberforth Split Level Income Trust plc is a United Kingdom-based split capital investment trust. The Company's investment objective is to provide ordinary shareholders with a high level of income, with the potential for income and capital growth, and to provide zero dividend preference shareholders with a pre-determined final capital entitlement of 127.25p. The Company aims to achieve its objective by investing in a diversified portfolio of securities issued by small United Kingdom quoted companies. The Managers (Aberforth Partners LLP) would not normally expect more than 10% of the value of the Company's portfolio to be invested in a combination of securities issued by small United Kingdom quoted companies that are neither securities with equity rights, nor securities convertible to such, and/or holdings in companies that satisfied the definition of a small United Kingdom quoted company at the time of purchase but no longer do so and that are not categorized as candidates for sale.
