As communicated on 21 December 2020, EJF Capital LLC ("EJF"), through its ownership of EJF Investments Manager LLC (the "Investment Manager"), currently absorbs 75% of the Company's recurring operating expenses, aside from management and incentive fees.

 

The Board of the Company announces a change to the current reimbursement arrangements. Against a backdrop of performance year-to-date of 12.63% against the target return of 8-10% per annum, EJF have made the decision to absorb 60% of the Company's recurring operating expenses, aside from management and incentive fees, for at least the next twelve months from 1 January 2022, or if earlier, until the date on which the unaudited net asset value of the Company reaches £300 million.

 

The reimbursement of the Company's operating expenses continues to demonstrate the Investment Manager's and EJF's ongoing commitment to, and alignment with, the Company.
