CITY OF LONDON INVESTMENT GROUP PLC
RESPONSE TO ICAPITAL.BIZ BERHAD (THE "FUND") RE MAXIMUM
SHAREHOLDING
(LONDON, 6 December, 2017) -
City of London Investment Management (CLIM) notes the recent
announcement by Capital Dynamics Sdn Bhd, investment adviser to
icapital.biz Berhad (ICAP:MK), advising that no shareholder of a
closed-end fund should hold more than 20% of the total issued and
paid-up shares of the closed-end fund. CLIM has also received a
letter from the Board of the Fund on the same matter.
CLIM clarifies that its clients are interested in 24,915,700
shares (17.8%) in the Fund and that CLIM is entitled to exercise
voting rights attached to shares in the Fund that are held by its
clients. CLIM is an investment adviser and does not hold or own any
shares in the Fund, either as nominee or as beneficial owner.
CLIM has been provided with clear legal advice that the 20%
limit referenced in Capital Dynamics' announcement applies to CLIM
clients individually and not in aggregate. Accordingly, the clients
of CLIM may continue to purchase shares in the Fund, provided that
no individual client holding shall exceed 20%, and even if the
aggregate interest of CLIM's clients exceeds 20%.
This statement is not to be interpreted to the effect that
CLIM's clients will or will not purchase more shares in the Fund or
will or will not dispose of shares in the Fund. CLIM reserves the
right to buy or sell shares in the Fund on behalf of its
clients.
