Notice of
Compulsory Partial Redemption of Shares
22 April 2016
Notice of compulsory partial redemption of shares in Ashmore
Global Opportunities Limited (the “Company”).
Further to the approval by the Company's shareholders of the
winding down proposals as described in the circular to shareholders
on 20 February 2013 (the "Circular")
the Company today announces that it will return 5.2224 pence and 5.2800 US cents per GBP and USD
share respectively on 29 April 2016
(the “Redemption Date”) by way of a compulsory partial redemption
of shares (the “Redemption") by reference to the 31 March 2016 NAV Calculation Date.
The Redemption will be effected pro rata to holdings of shares
on the register at the close of business on the Redemption Record
Date, being 27 April 2016. 4.078 per
cent of the Company's issued share capital will be redeemed on the
Redemption Date (that is 4.078 Shares for every 100 GBP and USD shares held respectively (the
"Relevant Percentage")). Fractions of Shares will not be redeemed
and so the number of shares to be redeemed for each shareholder
will be rounded down to the nearest whole number of shares.
The amount to be applied to the partial
redemption of shares comprises the monies from
the realisation of the Company's investments
received up to and including 31 March
2016 pursuant to the winding down of the Company.
As at today's date, the Company has 3,094,169 GBP ordinary shares and 7,210,984 USD ordinary shares. No shares are held
in treasury. All of the ordinary shares redeemed on the
Redemption Date will be cancelled. A further announcement will be
released following the record date to confirm the new number of
shares in issue for each share class.
The existing ISINs numbers GG00BDB5P108 and GG00BDB5P215 (the
"Old ISINs") for the Company’s shares will expire on the Redemption
Date (29 April 2016). The new ISIN
numbers GG00BYV0R619 (GBP shares) and GG00BYV0RC73 (USD shares)
(the "New ISINs") in respect of the Company’s shares (post the
Redemption) will be enabled from and including 29 April 2016. Up to the Redemption Date (but not
including the 29 April 2016), Shares
will be traded under the Old ISIN. The Redemption will be effected
pro rata to holdings of shares on the register at the close of
business on the Redemption Record Date, being 27 April 2016. Purchases of shares that were
unsettled as at the close of business on the Record
Date, including trades arranged after the Record Date but
before the Redemption Date, will be transformed automatically by
CREST and will settle under the New ISINs with an accompanying
delivery of cash though CREST in respect of the redemption
proceeds.
Payments of redemption monies are expected to be effected either
through CREST (in the case of shares held in un-certificated form)
or by cheque (in the case of shares held in certificated form) by
29 April 2016.
