The independent directors ("Independent TPJF Directors") of The Prospect Japan

resolutions were duly passed. 
 
As previously announced, the Offer is being implemented by way of a 
Court-sanctioned scheme of arrangement between TPJF and its shareholders under 
Part VIII of the Companies Law of Guernsey (the "Scheme"). Today, TPJF 
Shareholders voted to: 
 
-      approve the Scheme by the necessary majority at the Court Meeting; 
 
-      pass a special resolution (the "Special Resolution") at the General 
Meeting to approve: 
 
     o  the authorisation of the Independent TPJF Directors to take all such 
actions as they may consider necessary or appropriate to give effect to the 
Scheme; and 
 
     o  certain amendments to the articles of incorporation of TPJF as 
described in the Scheme Document, and; 
 
-      pass the two ordinary resolutions (the "Ordinary Resolutions") at the 
General Meeting to approve: 
 
    o  the adoption of the Sales Policy, the Sales Request Policy and the 
Termination Sales Policy; and 
 
    o  the appointment of TPJF as the representative of the No Action 
Shareholders for the purposes of the settlement arrangements as described in 
the Scheme Document (as defined below). 
 
Details and the full text of these resolutions passed are set out in the 
notices of the Court Meeting and the General Meeting contained in the scheme 
document dated 27 June 2017 sent or made available to TPJF Shareholders (the 
"Scheme Document"), which is available on TPJF's website at

this announcement (the "Announcement") have the same meanings as given to them 
in the Scheme Document. All percentages have been rounded to two decimal 
places.

92,352,602 ordinary shares of US$0.001 each with voting rights, none of which 
were held in treasury; 
 
2.  Any proxy appointments which gave discretion to the Chairman have been 
included in the votes "FOR" total; and 
 
3.  A vote withheld is not a vote in law and counts neither "FOR" nor "AGAINST" 
the resolutions. 
 
Effective Date and Timetable 
 
Completion of the Offer remains subject to the satisfaction or waiver of the 
other Conditions set out in the Scheme Document including the sanction of the 
Scheme by the Court and the delivery of a copy of the Court Order to the 
Guernsey Registry. 
 
The expected timetable of principal events for the implementation of the Scheme 
is set out on page 5 of the Scheme Document and partially reproduced (including 
the clarifications that were announced on 14 July 2017) in the appendix to this 
Announcement. It is currently expected that the Court Hearing to sanction the 
Scheme will take place on 27 July 2017. 
 
Subject to the Scheme receiving the sanction of the Court and the satisfaction 
or waiver of the other Conditions, the Scheme is expected to become Effective 
on 27 July 2017 with settlement of the New Prospect Shares due under the Scheme 
occurring within 14 days of the Scheme becoming Effective. 
 
As set out in the announcement by TPJF, of 27 June 2017, the Company has 
applied to the London Stock Exchange for trading in TPJF Shares to be suspended 
with effect from 7.30 a.m. (London time) on 27 July 2017. 
 
TPJF has also made an application to the London Stock Exchange for the 
cancellation of the listing and admission of TPJF Shares on the London Stock 
Exchange's Main Market for listed securities to be effective from 8.00 a.m.

Immediately following the Effective Date, share certificates in respect of TPJF 
Shares will cease to be valid and entitlements to TPJF Shares held within the 
CREST system will be cancelled. 
 
If any of the key dates set out in the expected timetable change, TPJF will 
give notice of this change by issuing an announcement through a Regulatory 
Information Service. Such announcement will, subject to certain restrictions, 
also be available on TPJF's website at www.prospectjapanfund.com.

Overseas jurisdictions 
 
The release, publication or distribution of this Announcement in jurisdictions 
other than the UK and Guernsey may be restricted by law and therefore any 
persons who are subject to the laws of any jurisdiction other than the UK and 
Guernsey should inform themselves about, and observe any applicable 
requirements. In particular, the ability of persons who are not resident in the 
UK or Guernsey to participate in the Offer may be affected by the laws of the 
relevant jurisdictions in which they are located. This Announcement has been 
prepared for the purpose of complying with English law, Guernsey law and the 
Code and the information disclosed may not be the same as that which would have 
been disclosed if this Announcement had been prepared in accordance with the 
laws of jurisdictions outside the UK and Guernsey. 
 
The Offer is subject to the applicable requirements of the Companies Law of 
Guernsey, the Court (as a result of TPJF being incorporated in Guernsey) and 
the GFSC (as a result of TPJF being an authorised closed-ended investment 
scheme in Guernsey), with the applicable requirements of English law, the Code, 
the Panel, the London Stock Exchange and the FCA (as a result of TPJF being 
listed on the London Stock Exchange) and also with the applicable requirements 
of Japanese laws, JASDEC, the Tokyo Stock Exchange and the Japanese Financial 
Services Agency (as a result of Prospect being a Japanese company, listed on 
the Tokyo Stock Exchange). 
 
Copies of this Announcement, the Scheme Document, the Notices of Court Meeting 
and TPJF General Meeting, the Forms of Proxy and all other documents relating 
to the Offer are not being, and must not be, directly or indirectly, mailed or 
otherwise forwarded, distributed or sent in or into or from any Restricted 
Jurisdiction or any jurisdiction where to do so would violate the laws of that 
jurisdiction, and persons receiving such documents (including custodians, 
nominees and trustees) must not mail or otherwise forward, distribute or send 
them in or into or from any Restricted Jurisdiction. All persons receiving this 
Announcement (including, without limitation, custodians, nominees and trustees)

The receipt of securities pursuant to the Offer by Overseas Shareholders may be

Further details in relation to Overseas Shareholders is contained in the Scheme

Additional information for US investors 
 
These materials are not for distribution, directly or indirectly, in or into 
the United States (as defined in the Scheme Document). These materials do not 
constitute or form a part of any offer or solicitation to purchase or subscribe 
for securities in the United States. 
 
The New Prospect Shares have not been and will not be registered under the US 
Securities Act of 1933 (the "US Securities Act") or under the securities laws 
of any State or other jurisdiction of the United States. Accordingly, the New 
Prospect Shares may not be offered, sold, resold, delivered, distributed or 
otherwise transferred, directly or indirectly, in or into the United States 
absent registration under the US Securities Act or an exemption therefrom. The 
New Prospect Shares issued pursuant to the Offer are expected to be issued in 
reliance upon the exemption from the registration requirements of the US 
Securities Act provided by Section 3(a)(10) thereof. There will be no public 
offer of New Prospect Shares in the United States. 
 
TPJF is organised under the laws of Guernsey and Prospect is organised under 
the laws of Japan.  All of the officers and directors of TPJF are residents of 
countries other than the United States, and most of the officers and directors 
of Prospect are residents of countries other than the United States.  It may 
not be possible to sue TPJF and Prospect in a non-US court for violations of US 
securities laws.  It may be difficult to compel TPJF, Prospect and their 
respective affiliates to subject themselves to the jurisdiction and judgment of 
a US court. 
 
A transaction effected by way of a scheme of arrangement is not subject to the 
proxy solicitation or tender offer rules under the US Securities Exchange Act 
of 1934 (the "US Exchange Act"). Accordingly, the Scheme will be subject to the 
disclosure requirements, rules and practices applicable in the UK and Guernsey 
to schemes of arrangement and takeover offers, which differ from the disclosure 
requirements, style and format of US tender offer and proxy solicitation rules. 
If Prospect determines to extend the offer into the US, the Offer will be made 
in compliance with applicable US laws and regulations. Financial information 
included in this Announcement and the Scheme Document has been or will have 
been prepared in accordance with non-US accounting standards that may not be 
comparable to financial information of US companies or companies whose 
financial statements are prepared in accordance with generally accepted 
accounting principles in the US. However, if Prospect were to elect to 
implement the Offer by means of a contractual offer, rather than the Scheme, 
such offer will be made in compliance with all applicable laws and regulations, 
including Section 14(e) of the US Exchange Act and Regulation 14E thereunder. 
Such offer would be made in the US by Prospect and no one else. 
 
Neither the US Securities and Exchange Commission nor any securities commission 
of any state of the United States has approved or disapproved the Offer, nor 
have such authorities passed upon or determined the fairness of the Offer or 
the adequacy or accuracy of the information contained in this Announcement. Any 
representation to the contrary is a criminal offence in the United States. 
 
If the Offer is required to be made in the US, it will be done in compliance 
with the applicable tender offer rules under the US Exchange Act. 
 
Forward-looking statements 
 
This Announcement may contain certain forward-looking statements with respect 
to the financial condition, results of operations and business of Prospect and/ 
or TPJF and certain plans and objectives of Prospect with respect thereto. 
These forward-looking statements can be identified by the fact that they do not 
relate to historical or current facts. Forward-looking statements also often 
use words such as "anticipate", "target", "expect", "estimate", "intend", 
"plan", "goal", "believe", "hope", "aims", "continue", "will", "may", "should", 
"would", "could", or other words of similar meaning. These statements are based 
on assumptions and assessments made by Prospect and/or TPJF (as applicable) in 
light of their experience and perception of historical trends, current 
conditions, future developments and other factors they believe appropriate. By 
their nature, forward-looking statements involve risk and uncertainty, because 
they relate to events and depend on circumstances that will occur in the future 
and the factors described in the context of such forward-looking statements in 
this Announcement could cause actual results and developments to differ 
materially from those expressed in or implied by such forward-looking 
statements. Although it is believed that the expectations reflected in such 
forward-looking statements are reasonable, no assurance can be given that such 
expectations will prove to be correct and you are therefore cautioned not to 
place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements which speak only as at 
the date of this Announcement. Prospect does not assume any obligation to 
update or correct the information contained in this Announcement (whether as a 
result of new information, future events or otherwise), except as required by 
the Panel, the Code or by applicable law. 
 
Forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance. Such 
forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks and uncertainties 
that could significantly affect expected results and are based on certain key 
assumptions. Many factors could cause actual results to differ materially from 
those projected or implied in any forward-looking statements. Due to such 
uncertainties and risks, readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on 
such forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date of this 
Announcement. Neither Prospect nor TPJF undertakes any obligation to update or 
revise any forward-looking statement as a result of new information, future 
events or otherwise, except to the extent legally required. 
 
There are several factors which could cause actual results to differ materially 
from those expressed or implied in forward-looking statements. Among the 
factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those 
described in the forward-looking statements are changes in the global, 
political, economic, business and competitive environments, market and 
regulatory forces, future exchange and interest rates, changes in tax rates, 
and future business combinations or dispositions. 
 
For a discussion of important factors which could cause actual results to 
differ from forward-looking statements in relation to the Prospect Group or the 
TPJF Group, refer to the annual report and accounts of the Prospect Group for 
the financial year ended 31 March 2016 and of the TPJF Group for the financial 
year ended 31 December 2016, respectively. 
 
No profit forecasts, quantified financial benefit statements or estimates 
 
No statement in this Announcement is intended, or is to be construed, as a 
profit forecast, profit estimate or quantified financial benefit statement for 
any period. No statement in this Announcement should be interpreted to mean 
that earnings per TPJF Share or earnings per Prospect Share for the current or 
future financial years would necessarily match or exceed the historical 
published earnings per TPJF Share or earnings per Prospect Share. 
 
Dealing and Opening Position Disclosure requirements of the Code 
 
Under Rule 8.3(a) of the Code, any person who is interested in 1 per cent. or 
more of any class of relevant securities of the offeree company or of any 
securities exchange offeror (being any offeror other than an offeror in respect 
of which it has been announced that its offer is, or is likely to be, solely in 
cash) must make an Opening Position Disclosure following the commencement of 
the offer period and, if later, following the announcement in which any 
securities exchange offeror is first identified. An Opening Position Disclosure 
must contain details of the person's interests and short positions in, and 
rights to subscribe for, any relevant securities of each of (i) the offeree 
company and (ii) any securities exchange offeror(s). An Opening Position 
Disclosure by a person to whom Rule 8.3(a) applies must be made by no later 
than 3.30 p.m. (London time) on the 10th business day following the 
commencement of the offer period and, if appropriate, by no later than 3.30 
p.m. (London time) on the 10th business day following the announcement in which 
any securities exchange offeror is first identified. Relevant persons who deal 
in the relevant securities of the offeree company or of a securities exchange 
offeror prior to the deadline for making an Opening Position Disclosure must 
instead make a Dealing Disclosure. 
 
Under Rule 8.3(b) of the Code, any person who is, or becomes, interested in 1 
per cent. or more of any class of relevant securities of the offeree company or 
of any securities exchange offeror must make a Dealing Disclosure if the person 
deals in any relevant securities of the offeree company or of any securities 
exchange offeror. A Dealing Disclosure must contain details of the dealing 
concerned and of the person's interests and short positions in, and rights to 
subscribe for, any relevant securities of each of (i) the offeree company and 
(ii) any securities exchange offeror(s), save to the extent that these details 
have previously been disclosed under Rule 8. A Dealing Disclosure by a person 
to whom Rule 8.3(b) applies must be made by no later than 3.30 p.m. (London 
time) on the business day following the date of the relevant dealing. 
 
If two or more persons act together pursuant to an agreement or understanding, 
whether formal or informal, to acquire or control an interest in relevant 
securities of the offeree company or a securities exchange offeror, they will 
be deemed to be a single person for the purpose of Rule 8.3. 
 
Opening Position Disclosures must also be made by the offeree company and by 
any offeror and Dealing Disclosures must also be made by the offeree company, 
by any offeror and by any persons acting in concert with any of them (see Rules 
8.1, 8.2 and 8.4). 
 
Details of the offeree and offeror companies in respect of whose relevant 
securities Opening Position Disclosures and Dealing Disclosures must be made 
can be found in the Disclosure Table on the Takeover Panel's website at 
www.thetakeoverpanel.org.uk, including details of the number of relevant 
securities in issue, when the offer period commenced and when any offeror was 
first identified. You should contact the Panel's Market Surveillance Unit on 
+44 (0)20 7638 0129 if you are in any doubt as to whether you are required to 
make an Opening Position Disclosure or a Dealing Disclosure.
