Compliance with US Executive Order 13959

Following the US Presidential Executive Order 13959, dated 12 November 2020, which prohibits US Persons from purchasing "publicly traded securities" of Chinese companies identified as Communist Chinese Military Companies, the Company can confirm that, as at 8 January 2021, it had no direct investments in any of these companies. It does, however, have indirect exposure via a number of its holdings. Following analysis of the Company's holdings by the Manager, this indirect exposure only amounts to approximately 0.6% of the Company's Net Asset Value. The Company does not expect to have any exposure (direct or indirect) to these companies by 11 November 2021. The Company intends to comply with the Order going forward. Should that cease to be the case it will make the appropriate announcement at that time. This is only anticipated to be of interest to Shareholders who are US Persons, who should seek their own advice on this matter.
