February Investment Highlights

Amortisation of our biggest wholesale exposure continues and we have three more of our direct loans all repaying interest and capital as scheduled. Other direct investments have distributed cash from sales of assets.

We have continued to receive a trickle of tax credit and sales proceeds from our film financings. We continue to monitor these positions and highlight to Shareholders that these loans have taken longer to repay due to the Covid pandemic and we expect this to remain the position for the remainder of the year.

A further legacy loan was repaid from our one remaining platform. This now leave four loans outstanding, two are performing and two are impaired.

A Circular has been published and an EGM proposed to distribute cash by way of a B Share scheme with the hope that this can be implemented before the tax year end for

investors to receive capital proceeds from distributions.

Please note, we no longer hedge our foreign exchange exposures and provide details of the USD and EUR allocations in the data provided in the factsheet to allow shareholders to consider their own hedging, if they so required.
