THAT the directors of the Company be and are hereby generally empowered to allot ordinary shares of no par value in the capital of the Company (the "Ordinary Shares") carrying the rights, privileges and subject to the restrictions attached to the Ordinary Shares as set out in the articles of association of the Company or to grant rights to subscribe for or, to convert securities into Ordinary Shares ("equity securities"), for cash including by way of a sale of Ordinary Shares held by the Company as treasury shares, as if any pre-emption rights in relation to the issue of shares, as set out in Article 10(B) of the articles of association of the Company and in the Listing Rules made by the Financial Conduct Authority under Part VI of the Financial Services and Markets Act 2000 (as amended), did not apply to any such allotment of or grant of rights to subscribe for or to convert into equity securities, provided that this power:
The Company announces that as at 30 September 2016, the unaudited Net Asset Value ("NAV") per Ordinary Share was 100.7 pence (30 June 2016: 99.3 pence). The increase in NAV is mainly attributable to a combination of an upward adjustment in the Company's power curve, a change in Business Rate assumptions following a review by the Valuation Office Agency in September 2016 and ongoing portfolio optimisation measures implemented by the Investment Manager.
The Company is also pleased to announced that the third Quarterly dividend of 1.54 pence per share was approved by the Directors and will be paid on the 30 December 2016. The Company remains on target to deliver a dividend of 6.17 pence per share for the financial year ended 31 December 2016.
