- Audit opinion
- Unqualified (clean)
- Going concern
- Affirmed
“Based on the work the Directors have performed, they have not identified any material events or conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on the Company's ability to continue as a going concern for the period assessed by the Directors, being the period to 31 December 2026 which is at least 12 months from the date the Financial Statements were authorised for issue.”
Significant events
- “The Board is accordingly introducing a conditional tender mechanism whereby the Company will offer shareholders the opportunity to tender up to 25% of the Company's net asset value at a price equal to net asset value (less costs), should the Company's total return over the next five financial years fail to outperform the benchmark index.”
- “Accordingly, I intend to retire following the AGM in 2026. The process to identify my successor has been led by the Chair of the Nomination Committee and the Senior Independent Director. I am pleased to announce that Nicky Richards will become Chair following the AGM.”
