Result of cell meetings and EGM
14 January 2009
Further to the announcement and Circular to Shareholders dated 22 December 2008
the Board is pleased to announce that the resolutions proposed as special
resolutions at the 1X Cell Meeting, 3X Cell Meeting and Extraordinary General
Meeting were duly passed.
These resolutions introduce compulsory redemption powers for the Board in
respect of 1X Shares and 3X Shares and, as envisaged in the Circular, the Board
hereby confirms its intention to compulsorily redeem the 3X Shares at Net Asset
Value per Share on 1 April 2009. The Board does not currently intend to exercise
these compulsory redemption powers in respect of the 1X Shares.
Admission of the 3X Shares to trading on the LSE and to the Official List are
expected to be cancelled at 8 a.m. on 2 April 2009. The Register in respect of
the 3X Shares will be closed from 5.00 p.m. on 31 March 2009 and the last date
for normal dealings on the LSE will be 27 March 2009. Thereafter dealings should
be for cash settlement only and will be registered in the normal way if the
transfer, accompanied by the documents of title, is received by Capita
Registrars by 5.00 p.m. on 31 March 2009. If Shareholders dispose of their 3X
Shares otherwise than through the LSE they must make their own arrangements with
the other parties concerned as regards entitlements to redemption proceeds to be
issued or distributed (as the case may be).
3X Shareholders holding certificated Shares will be sent a cheque, which is
expected to be despatched as soon as reasonably practicable after 15 May 2009
and normally by 30 May 2009. This is due to the fact that, in normal
circumstances, the Index Administrator will determine the final Index level for
the end of each month on or about the 45th calendar day following the end of the
month and the full redemption proceeds will normally be dispatched within 15
days after the publication of the final Index level by the Index Administrator.
Settlement of any cash payable in respect of 3X Shares in uncertificated form
will be made through the creation of a payment obligation in favour of the
relevant Shareholder's payment bank in accordance with CREST payment
arrangements as soon as reasonably practicable after 15 May 2009 and normally by
30 May 2009.
As set out in the Circular and without limitation, the Swap Counterparty
reserves the right to limit aggregate reductions by the Company and all of its
other counterparties for any calendar quarter end on a pro-rata basis to no
greater than 20 per cent. of the Index Notional Amount (a "Gate"). If a Gate is
imposed, then any reduction which has not been fulfilled will be scheduled to
occur on the subsequent calendar quarter end on a pro-rata basis. The process
will be repeated until all reductions have been fulfilled.
In addition, to the extent that Index funds representing more than 5 per cent.
of the Index by Fund Weight for a given month (a) have limited or suspended
redemptions, and/or (b) do not provide the Index Administrator with NAV Data, an
Index Suspension Event shall be deemed to be in effect. In the event of an Index
Suspension Event, the Index Administrator may delay determination and
publication of the final Index Level for such month.
In the event of a Gate being imposed or an Index Suspension Event settlement of
the redemption proceeds in respect of the 3X Shares will be delayed. In such
event the Company will make a Regulatory News Announcement.
