("the Company")
At a General Meeting of the Company held on 16 April 2026, and following the passing of the special resolution by the shareholders, the Company was placed into members' voluntary liquidation and Derek Hyslop and Richard Barker were appointed Joint Liquidators for the purposes of such winding-up in accordance with the recommended proposals for the members' voluntary winding-up of the Company and combination with BlackRock Smaller Companies Trust plc dated 20 February 2026 ("the Scheme").
At the Calculation Date on 9 April 2026 the Cash Pool was valued at £183,753,873 and was comprised as follows:
- Equities valued at £170,173,138
- Cash Collateral in the sum of £11,480,936
- Accrued Dividend Income in the sum of £2,099,799
As previously confirmed the total number of shares elected for the Cash Pool is 28,512,678.
As you are aware, an interim cash distribution of £6.30 per Share elected for the Cash Pool was made 12 June 2026 to shareholders who elected to receive the Cash Entitlement. This distribution equated to a total amount of £179,629,871.40.
The Joint Liquidators are now in a position to make a second and final cash distribution on 31 July 2026 at a rate of £0.270972 per Share. This distribution totals an amount of £7,726,135.79.
