Cancellation of share premium account

Following the approval of shareholders on 18 December 2024 and the granting of an order following a final hearing in the Court of Session of Scotland (the Court) approving the cancellation of the share premium account (the Order), the Company is pleased to confirm that the Order has been registered at Companies House together with a statement of capital approved by the Court.

Therefore all procedural steps required in connection with the cancellation have now been completed with £ 499.7 million being credited to a distributable reserve of the Company.

Jonathan Simpson-Dent, Chair of the Company, said "Shareholders endorsed Edinburgh Worldwide at our General Meeting and AGM last week. Today's increase in distributable reserves completes another important milestone for the Trust and the Board is now developing plans for a capital return of up to £130m which will be announced in due course."
