RECOMMENDED ACQUISITION OF ASSET MANAGEMENT INVESTMENT COMPANY
PLC ("AMIC") BY
GREENWICH LOAN INCOME FUND LIMITED ("GLIF")
FORMULA ASSET VALUE CALCULATION
RESULT OF ELECTION FOR SHARE ALTERNATIVE
Formula Asset Value Calculation
The boards of AMIC and GLIF announce today that, in connection
with the recommended acquisition of AMIC by GLIF to be implemented
by means of a scheme of arrangement ("the Scheme") under Part 26 of
the Companies Act 2006 ("the Acquisition"), the final agreed
Formula Asset Value (FAV) to be used as the basis for the
Acquisition as at the calculation date of 21 January 2011 was
76.9230p per AMIC share.
Under the terms of the Acquisition, which remains conditional
upon, inter alia, the sanction of the Scheme and the confirmation
of the Capital Reduction by the Court, the hearing of which is
scheduled to take place on 28 January 2011, the AMIC Ordinary
Shares will be cancelled and AMIC shareholders will receive:
for each AMIC Ordinary Share 70.7692p in cash (equal to
92 per cent. of the Formula
Asset Value).
OR
2.50510442 New GLIF Shares
(equal to 92 per cent. of the
Formula Asset Value. The value
of a New GLIF Share will be
28.25p, being the mid-market
closing share price of a GLIF
Share on 25 October 2010, the
Business Day prior to the Indicative
Offer Announcement).
As set out in the Scheme Circular, fractions of New GLIF Shares
shall not be allotted or issued to holders of AMIC Ordinary Shares
pursuant to the Scheme. All fractional entitlements to which
holders of AMIC Ordinary Shares would have become entitled shall be
aggregated and sold by GLIF's brokers in the market for the benefit
of GLIF.
Result of Election for Share Alternative
As at 11.00 a.m. on 21 January 2011 (being the latest time for
receipt of elections in respect of the Share Alternative), valid
elections to accept the Share Alternative were received in relation
to 4,524,207 AMIC Ordinary Shares. The Acquisition will therefore
result in the issue in aggregate of 11,333,610 New GLIF Shares
representing approximately 11.5 per cent. of the enlarged share
capital of GLIF.
The Scheme is expected to become effective on 31 January 2011,
upon the registration of the Court Order at Companies House. On the
same day, the New GLIF Shares are expected be admitted to AIM and
the New GLIF Shares and Existing GLIF Shares are expected to be
admitted to the Official List of the CISX.
Terms used in this announcement shall have the same meaning as
set out in the Scheme Circular.
