Shaftesbury Capital PLC (the "Issuer") recently declared a final dividend of GBP 0.018 per Shaftesbury

Furthermore, on 28 February 2025 the Issuer also notified Bondholders of its decision not to issue a

8(c), the Issuer hereby notifies Bondholders, the Trustee and the Principal Paying, Transfer and
