Acorn Income Fund Limited (in Liquidation) (the "Company")
Publication of Elections and Residual Net Asset Value per Ordinary Share
Further to the Company's announcement on 12 October 2021, in which the Company
was placed into liquidation, the Company announces the elections from Ordinary
Shareholders (including deemed elections) and Residual NAV per Ordinary Share
under the terms of the Scheme:
Elections
Shares Option (A Shares): 8,721,365 Ordinary Shares with "A" rights, being
Ordinary Shares with the entitlement to receive income shares in Unicorn UK
Income Fund ("UKI Shares"), an open ended fund managed by Unicorn Asset
Management.
Cash Option (B Shares): 7,095,322 Ordinary Shares with "B" rights, being
Ordinary Shares with the entitlement to receive cash.
Residual NAV per Share
The Residual NAV is £64,965,033.24 and the Residual NAV per Share as at the
Calculation Date of 9 November 2021 is 410.7373 pence. Of this Residual NAV, £
706,870.00 equivalent to 4.4691 pence per Ordinary Share, will be transferred
to the Retention Fund held by the Liquidators. These amounts are in respect of
a single security from the fixed interest portfolio that the Liquidator has
been unable to sell, and which does not meet the investment objective of
Unicorn UK Income Fund and therefore is deemed inappropriate to be part of the
in specie transfer of assets, and the Liquidators' retention of £10,000. Cash
received from future sales of this security will be returned to all Ordinary
Shareholders (on the register as at the Record Date), both those electing for
the Cash Option and those electing for the Shares Option, on a pro rata basis
at a later date. Although the security may be sold sooner, for guidance, it has
a maturity date in 2024 when it is currently expected to redeem at par.
The remaining balance of £64,258,163.24 equivalent to 406.2682 pence per
Ordinary Share, will be divided between electors for the Cash Option and the
Shares Option in the same proportions as the elections as stated above.
Therefore, Ordinary Shareholders will imminently receive the following cash and
/or number of UKI Shares:
* For Ordinary Shareholders that elected to receive UKI Shares, each Ordinary
Share with "A" rights attached to it will receive 1 UKI Share and the
opening NAV of each UKI Share will equal 406.2682 pence.
* For Ordinary Shareholders that elected for the Cash Option, each Ordinary
Share with "B" rights attached to it will receive 406.2682 pence in cash.
Cheques are expected to be despatched and electronic bank transfers made in
respect of the Cash Option during the week commencing 15 November 2021.
Entitlements shall be rounded down to the nearest £0.01, as the case may
be.
Repayment of ZDP shares
The ZDP shareholders will be paid the Final Capital Entitlement in cash equal
to the aggregate ZDP Final Capital Entitlement as at 28 February 2022. The
payment date for this entitlement is expected to be during the week commencing
15 November 2021.
Suspension and Cancellation of Shares
Applications have been made to the FCA and the London Stock Exchange for the
cancellation of listing and trading of the Company's Ordinary Shares and Zero
Dividend Preference Shares which occurred at 8am on 12 November 2021.
Defined terms used in this announcement have the meanings given in the circular
published by the Company on 23 September 2021 unless the context otherwise
requires.
