Aberdeen Diversified I&G Trust PLC
26 October 2020
The Board of Aberdeen Diversified Income and Growth Trust plc (the "Company" or "ADIG") is pleased to announce, following the offer made to the holders of the Company's 6.25% Bonds due 2031, ISIN XS0134340180, (the "Bonds") announced on 21 October 2020, that the Company has agreed terms with holders of the Bonds to repurchase in full £43,904,000 principal amount of the Bonds, equivalent to 73.2% of the total issue.
The agreed purchase price of 154.094491% has been calculated using a credit spread of 0.80% above the redemption yield on the United Kingdom 6% Treasury Stock due 7 December 2028 at or about 11 a.m. of today's date. Therefore the consideration payable by the Company, not including accrued interest, is approximately £67.65 million. Using the latest practicable date of 23 October 2020, the cost will be equivalent to a fair value net asset value reduction of approximately 1.55 pence per Ordinary share.
The Bonds are to be repurchased on or about 2 November 2020 with cash settlement, including accrued interest and will be cancelled.
Following the repurchase and cancellation of the Bonds there will remain £16,096,000 Bonds in issue with interest payable thereon half yearly at the coupon rate of 6.25%.
