Completion of Mandatory Redemption
PDMR Dealings
The Board of Directors of Africa Opportunity Fund Limited ("AOF"
or the "Company") is pleased to announce that the partial mandatory
redemption of the Company's Ordinary Shares announced on 10 March
2020 has been completed with the redemption of 30,278,230 Ordinary
Shares ("Mandatory Redemption").
On 16 March 2020 , AOF redeemed 30,278,230 Ordinary Shares, on a
pro rata basis, at the prevailing NAV per Ordinary Share of $ 0.611
as at 29 February 2020 . Such shares were cancelled automatically
following their redemption.
Fractions of shares produced by the applicable redemption ratios
have not been redeemed and so the number of shares redeemed in
respect of each shareholder has been rounded down to the nearest
whole number of shares.
Payments of redemption proceeds are expected to be effected
either through Euroclear or Clearstream (in the case of shares held
in uncertificated form) or by cheque (in the case of shares held in
certificated form) on or around 25 March 2 020 . Any share
certificates for the balance of holdings of shares will also be
despatched to shareholders on or around 25 March 2020.
Following the Mandatory Redemption, the Company has 44,571,376
Ordinary Shares in issue.
The Ordinary Shares were disabled on the record date ( 16 March
2020 ) and the ISIN number KYG012921048 (the "Old ISIN") has
expired. The new ISIN number KYG012921204 (the "New ISIN") in
respect of the remaining 44,571,376 Ordinary Shares which have not
been redeemed will be enabled and will be available for
transactions on 17 March 2020 .
