Management contractAn annual fee of 1.2% of the NAV of the Company valued and paid monthly in arrears. The agreement is terminable on one years' notice.
Borrowing limitWhilst the use of borrowings should enhance the total return on the Ordinary shares where the return on the Company's underlying assets is rising and exceeds the cost of borrowing, it will have the opposite effect where the underlying return is
less than the cost of borrowing, further reducing the total return on the Ordinary shares.
