NOTICE OF ORDINARY SHARE RE-DESIGNATION 

The Company today announces its 2024 Liquidity Facility election results: as of 4 August 2024, a total of 135,436,430 Ordinary Shares will be converted by way of re-designation into Liquidating Shares. For additional details as to the Liquidity Facility and Liquidating Shares, please see the Notice of General Meeting Circular dated 24 May 2024 which is available on the Company's website www.mplflimited.com.  

The Company's Investment Manager will, prior to 4 August, contact holders of Ordinary Shares that will be converted into Liquidating Shares to confirm the number of their Ordinary Shares which will be converted.

Following the re-designation, the Company will have 20,538,739 Ordinary Shares in issue, of which 6,700,000 are held in treasury.  Accordingly, the total number of voting rights in the Company is 176,481,762, inclusive of 162,643,023 votes carried by the B share in issue.  The above figure may be used by shareholders as the denominator for the calculations by which they will determine if they are required to notify their interest in, or a change to their interest in, the Company under the Financial Conduct Authority's Disclosure Guidance and Transparency Rules.

Given the material reduction in its ordinary share capital following the conversion on 4 August 2024, the Board is actively considering options for the future of the Company, which may include withdrawing the Company's admission to trading on the London Stock Exchange (subject to complying with the applicable legal and regulatory requirements). Any such decision to withdraw from the London Stock Exchange will be announced by the Company by RIS in due course.
