Statement re Allocation of Expenses
To date Gartmore Growth Opportunities plc has charged 100% of its management
fees and finance costs to revenue. However, the Board recognises that the
majority of the Company's peers allocate a proportion of these costs to
capital.
Over the 10 years to 30 June 2009 approximately 75% of the Company's cumulative
gross returns came from capital performance and 25% from dividends and other
income. In line with The Association of Investment Companies' Statement of
Recommended Practice for the Financial Statements of Investment Trust Companies
and Venture Capital Trusts, the Board has therefore concluded that, with effect
from 1 July 2009, Gartmore Growth Opportunities plc will allocate 75% of its
management fees and finance costs to capital, with 25% being allocated to the
revenue account.
This change will not have any effect on the total return for shareholders, but
it will have the effect of increasing the revenue earnings per share and of
reducing the capital return per share by the same amount. On current figures
the revenue return for the current year will be increased by approximately 3p.
Shareholders may be interested to note that at 31 October 2009 the unaudited
consolidated revenue reserves of Gartmore Growth Opportunities plc and its
wholly owned subsidiary, Gartmore GO Dealing Limited, amounted to some 24p per
share, which compares to the ordinary dividend paid in respect of the Company's
last financial year of 4.3p.
