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 21.30 pence and
21.53 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.
