Conversion of C Shares
28 November 2018
GCP Asset Backed, which invests in asset backed loans, is
pleased to announce that it has invested over 90% of the net
proceeds of the Company's recent issue of C shares in accordance
with its investment policy. This is substantially ahead of the
nine-month timeframe set out in the prospectus published on 7
September 2018 (the "Prospectus").
The monies have been invested across 7 loans, including new
loans to asset classes such as battery storage, build-to-rent and
FX Margin Calls, thereby providing further diversification to the
Company's investment portfolio.
Consequently, the Directors have determined that the conversion
of the C shares will take place, in accordance with the provisions
of the Articles and as summarised in the Prospectus.
It is currently expected that conversion will occur in
accordance with the following timetable:
2018
Conversion Calculation Date 28 November
Announcement of Conversion Ratio 20 December
Conversion Date 21 December
The ordinary shares arising on conversion of the C Shares will
rank pari passu with the existing ordinary shares for any dividends
or distributions declared after the Conversion Date and therefore
will be entitled to the dividend for the quarter ended 31 December
2018, which is currently expected to be declared in January
2019
Dealings in the new ordinary shares arising on conversion are
currently expected to commence, and the listing of the C shares to
be cancelled, at 8.00 am on 21 December 2018.
On this basis the Company will make an application for the new
ordinary shares arising from conversion to be admitted to the
Official List and to trading on the London Stock Exchange from the
same time and date.
