Return of Capital and NAV
Following further partial repayments of the Northlands Loan bringing the receipts since 31 January 2023 to approximately £9million, we are pleased to announce a further return of capital to investors of 7.40 pence per ordinary share to shareholders, being £8,976,405 in total based on the number of ordinary shares in issue. This return of capital will be effected by way of an issue of redeemable B shares to existing shareholders pro rata to their shareholding on the record date set out below and the subsequent redemption of those B shares.
The estimated unaudited NAV per share as at 30 April 2023 was 57.67 pence per ordinary share. The estimated unaudited NAV per ordinary share as at 30 April 2023 adjusted for the return of capital would be 50.27 pence per ordinary share.
Post the return of capital, the Company will have returned an amount of 44.90 pence per ordinary share to shareholders being £54,464,947 in total.
Further properties within the Northlands portfolio are under offer for sale and their completion at the amounts offered will see the loan repaid in full together with interest and exit fees.
UK commercial property market conditions remain difficult due to high interest rates, high inflation and low property transaction volumes. The Company and the Investment Manager are actively seeking to expedite repayment of the remaining loans and secure the best returns for shareholders. The Company is unable to provide further detail at present to protect sensitive commercial negotiations but will make further announcements in due course.
The Company will also provide an update in respect of each loan with the release of its Interim Report & Accounts.
