CARIBBEAN INVESTMENT HOLDINGS LIMITED - CANCELLATION OF TREASURY SHARES, REDUCTION OF ISSUED SHARE CAPITAL & FURTHER ADMISSION OF DEPOSITORY INTERESTS

British Virgin Islands, May 12, 2020 -- Caribbean Investment Holdings Limited (London - AIM: CIHL; Bermuda - CIHL) (the "Company" or "CIHL") announces that the Board of Directors have approved the cancellation of 4,296,557 ordinary shares of nil par value which were held as treasury shares. The treasury shares were originally held in connection with an employee incentive scheme which is no longer applicable.

As a result of the cancellation of the treasury shares, the Company's issued share capital has been reduced to 98,967,443 ordinary shares. The total percentage of shares held by the majority shareholder, Lord Michael Ashcroft is now 78.33%. Following this cancellation, there are no shares held in treasury.

Further to the Company's recent Continuation to the BVI, which resulted in the re-admission of 18,795,345 depository interests to trading on AIM, being the number of ordinary shares on the Company's register represented by depository interests at that time, CIHL has applied for admission of an additional 80,172,098 depository interests to trading on AIM ("Admission") to match the Company's revised share capital figure. The increased number of depository interests has been made to ensure that any shareholder that wishes to trade electronically in future is able to do so upon de-materialising shares into CREST. It is expected that Admission will occur on 18 May 2020.
