Material uncertainty over going concern
Following the General Meeting held on 30 September 2024 at which shareholders unanimously voted in favour of the discontinuation of the Company and a change in the Company Objective and Investment Policy in order to facilitate the Managed Wind-Down of the Company, the process for an orderly realisation of the Company's assets and a return of capital to shareholders began in September 2024 and is expected to conclude over a number of years. There is, however, a material uncertainty over whether the Company will be in existence in its current form twelve-months from the date of approval of the financial statements, should the Managed Wind-Down process conclude during that time period. These conditions, along with the other matters explained in note 2 to the financial statements, indicate the existence of a material uncertainty which may cast significant doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern.
