Funding Circle SME Income Fund Limited
Issue of scrip dividend shares
Funding Circle SME Income Fund Limited (the "Company") announces
that application has been made to the UK Listing Authority and the
London Stock Exchange for 606,999 Ordinary Shares of no par value
in the capital of the Company (the "Ordinary Shares"), to be listed
on the premium segment of the Official List of the UK Listing
Authority and to be admitted to trading on the main market of the
London Stock Exchange.
The Ordinary Shares will be issued pursuant to the Company's
scrip dividend alternative in respect of the dividend for the
quarter ended 30 June 2017 and will rank pari-passu with the
existing issued Ordinary Shares of the Company. Dealings in the
Ordinary Shares are expected to commence at 8.00 a.m. on 31 July
2017.
Following the admission of the Ordinary Shares, the Company's
issued share capital will comprise 166,189,298 Ordinary Shares and
142,000,000 C Shares. Under the Articles of Incorporation of the
Company, at any general meeting of the Company each Share (Ordinary
Share or C Share) shall have one vote. Accordingly, the figure
which may be used by the Shareholders as the denominator for the
calculations by which they will determine if they are required to
notify their interest in, or a change to their interest in the
Company under the FCA's Disclosure and Transparency Rules is the
aggregate of Ordinary Shares and C Shares, being 308,189,298
shares. Similarly, shareholders should aggregate their holdings of
Ordinary Shares and C Shares to calculate the relevant number of
voting rights for the numerator.
