Share buy-backs
During the period from 1 April 2023 to 30 June 2023, the Company
did not buy back any shares.
It remains the Board's policy to buy back shares in the market,
subject to the overall constraint that such purchases are in the
Company's interest, including the maintenance of sufficient
resources for investment in existing and new portfolio companies
and the continued payment of dividends to shareholders.
It is the Board's intention for such buy-backs to be at around a
5% discount to net asset value, so far as market conditions and
liquidity permit.
Material events and transactions after the period end
Other than as described above, there have been no material
events or transactions during the quarter and to the date of this
announcement.
