Block Listing Application
The Board of Edinburgh Worldwide Investment Trust plc (the
"Company") announces that the Company has made an application to
the UK Listing Authority for a block listing of 2,552,705 ordinary
shares of 5p each ("Shares") to be admitted to the Official List
and to the London Stock Exchange for the Shares to be admitted to
trading on the premium segment of the Main Market.
The Company has an existing shareholder authority to issue up to
10 per cent. of the Company's issued share capital on a
non-pre-emptive basis which was obtained at the AGM in January
2018. The Board has determined that this authority may be utilised
to satisfy market demand by issuing new Shares at a small premium
to NAV. This policy is intended to ensure that the level of premium
at which the Shares trade does not reach excessive levels.
The block listing is expected to become effective at 8 a.m. on
24 April 2018. Any issue of new Shares will be notified by the
Company through a RIS announcement and the Company's website.
