The Company's Investment Manager, Harmony Capital Investors Limited ("Harmony Capital"), will be allotted 161,690 Placing shares.

As reported in the Company's 2019 Annual Report, Harmony Capital's incentive fee for the financial year ending 31 (st) December 2019 was USD1,907,000, of which 50% of such fee is payable in ADAM shares. Consequently, the Company has also issued Harmony Capital 4,496,784 ADAM shares ("Incentive Fee Shares") calculated using the average share price prescribed in the Services Agreement between the Company and Harmony Capital as at 31 (st) December 2019. Trading of the shares will commence on 8(th) October 2020. As a result, Harmony Capital's total equity in ADAM will be 6,059,306 shares which is equivalent to 5.26% of the Company's voting share capital.

As a result of this share allotment and the Incentive Fee Shares issued to Harmony Capital, the Company's total issued share capital (excluding 2,647,804 shares held in Treasury by the Company) will consist of 115,277,869 Ordinary Shares. All of the shares, excluding those in Treasury, have equal voting rights. The Company's total issued share capital (including those now held in Treasury) will comprise 117,925,673 Ordinary Shares. The figure of 115,277,869 Ordinary Shares may be used by shareholders in the Company as the denominator for the calculations by which they will determine if they are required to notify their interest in, or a change in their interest in, the share capital of the Company under the Financial Conduct Authority's Disclosure Guidance and Transparency Rules.

Further announcements with regard to the Company's name change taking effect after the completion of the Open Offer will be made in due course.
