The listing of the Company's Reclassified Shares was suspended at 7.30 a.m. on 27 February 2024. The Company, through its advisers, has notified the London Stock Exchange of the Company's intention to cancel the Company's admission of the Reclassified Shares to trading at 8:00 a.m. on 29 February 2024.

 

Entitlements under the Scheme

 

As at the Calculation Date, Shareholders' entitlements under the Scheme calculated in accordance with the terms of the Scheme were as follows:

 

·    JMF FAV per Share: 1,048.748039 pence

·    Cash Pool NAV per Share (net of costs of realising the assets allocated to the Cash Pool): 1,020.240800 pence

·    JMI FAV per Share: 322.690000 pence

 

Therefore, Shareholders will receive the following cash and/or number of JMI Shares:

 

For Shareholders that elected for the Cash Option:

-      Each Share with B rights attached to it will receive 1,020.240800 pence in cash.

 

For Shareholders that elected (or are deemed to have elected) to receive JMI Shares:

-      Each Share with A rights attached to it will roll over into 3.250017 JMI Shares.

 

As noted in the Circular, the Directors have set aside sufficient assets in the Liquidation Pool to meet all estimated liabilities and contingencies, including the costs of the winding up of the Company and the costs of implementing the Scheme. The Directors have also provided in the Liquidation Pool for a retention of £150,000 which they, together with the joint Liquidators, consider sufficient to meet any unknown or unascertained liabilities of the Company.

 

The Liquidation Pool will be applied by the joint Liquidators in discharging all current and future actual and contingent liabilities of the Company and, any balance remaining after discharging such liabilities from the Liquidation Pool will in due course be distributed to Shareholders on the Register on the Effective Date pro rata to their respective holdings of Shares in accordance with the terms of the Scheme.

 

Following the appointment of the joint Liquidators, all further enquiries regarding the Company should be made to the joint Liquidators, whose contact details are below.
