DIVIDEND REINVESTMENT PLAN
NOTICE
Dated 17 September, 2015
THIS DOCUMENT IS IMPORTANT
If you are in any doubt as to what action you should take once you have read this document, you should consult your professional adviser immediately.
The Dividend Reinvestment Plan[1] (Plan) enables shareholders to increase their holding of shares in the High Yield Bond Fund Class (HYB Fund Shares) of The Global Voyager Fund Ltd. (Company). Shareholders are invited to make a revocable election[2] to receive allotments of additional fully-paid Shares instead of receiving cash dividends.[3]
Method of calculation and notification
The number of new HYB Fund Shares[4] to be allotted to shareholders who elect to participate in the Plan will be calculated by dividing the total amount of the cash dividend which each shareholder would otherwise be entitled to receive by the Subscription Price[5] of the Company’s HYB Fund Shares.
Payments to those shareholders who elect to participate in the Plan will be applied to those shareholders’ Plan Accounts and will occur on the 15th of the calendar month, or the next Business Day (as applicable), following the end of each Quarter.
Fractional HYB Fund Shares will be issued (if applicable) to the shareholder who has elected to participate in the Plan. In the event that any fractional entitlement would be created following such election the cash value of that fractional entitlement will be determined and credited towards the issue of the applicable fractional HYB Fund Shares. All new HYB Fund Shares issued instead of cash will automatically increase the holding on which the new entitlement to participate in the Plan is calculated.
Expenses
In connection with subsequent sales of the new HYB Fund Shares any trading fees will be for the account of the shareholder.
HYB Fund Shares held in book stock form
Share certificates will not be issued except upon specific written request of the shareholder[6]. Instead, shareholders will receive an advice detailing the number of HYB Fund Shares held at the record date, the HYB Fund Shares allocated under the Plan and the cash value of any fractional HYB Fund Shares carried forward to the following dividend payment.
Election to the Plan
Elections will only be accepted in respect of the full holdings of HYB Fund Shares of each shareholder. To reduce the costs of the Plan, shareholders may not opt for part cash, part new HYB Fund Shares; it is all or none.
If you wish to receive your dividends in the form of new HYB Fund Shares rather than cash, you should complete and return the enclosed Form of Election to the Administrator, so that it arrives by close of business on the next dividend record date.
