WRAP Retail Offer
Invesco Bond Income Plus Limited (“BIPS” or the “Company”) an investment company
that aims to obtain capital growth and high income by investing predominantly in
high-yielding fixed-interest assets, is pleased to announce a retail offer via
the Winterflood Retail Access Platform (“WRAP”) (the “WRAP Retail Offer”).
The WRAP Retail Offer is being undertaken alongside a placing (the “Placing”) of
new ordinary shares of no par value in the capital of the Company (“Shares”)
that was announced by the Company on 29 January 2026 (the “Fundraise”).
Shares will be issued in the Placing and WRAP Retail Offer pursuant to the
Company’s existing shareholder authorities and, to the extent the requisite
shareholder authorities are obtained at a general meeting convened for 12
February 2026 (the “General Meeting”), the additional issuance authorities being
sought at the General Meeting. Any Shares issued pursuant to the Placing and
WRAP Retail Offer will be issued at a price equal to a 0.75% premium to the last
published cum-income NAV per Share prior to the Fundraise close (the “Issue
Price”). The Issue Price is expected to be announced on 11 February 2026.
Applications will be made to the London Stock Exchange for admission to trading
of the new Shares on its main market for listed securities (“Admission”). It is
expected that Admission will become effective at 8.00 a.m. on 16 February 2026
and that dealings in the new Shares will commence at that time.
A separate announcement has been made regarding the Placing and its terms and
sets out the reasons for the Placing and use of proceeds. The net proceeds of
the WRAP Retail Offer will be invested in accordance with the Company’s
investment policy.
For the avoidance of doubt, the WRAP Retail Offer is not part of the Placing.
Completion of the WRAP Retail Offer is conditional, inter alia, upon the
completion of the Placing but completion of the Placing is not conditional on
the completion of the WRAP Retail Offer.
WRAP Retail Offer
The Company values its retail shareholder base and believes that it is
appropriate to provide its existing retail shareholders, along with new
qualifying investors, in the United Kingdom the opportunity to participate in
the WRAP Retail Offer.
Therefore, the Company is making the WRAP Retail Offer open to eligible
investors in the United Kingdom following release of this announcement and
through certain financial intermediaries. To be eligible to participate in the
WRAP Retail Offer, applicants must be customers of a participating intermediary
(including individuals aged 18 years or over), companies and other bodies
corporate, partnerships, trusts, associations and other unincorporated
organisations (“Eligible Retail Investors”). Eligible Retail Investors can
contact their broker or wealth manager to participate in the WRAP Retail Offer.
A number of retail platforms are able to access the WRAP Retail Offer. Non
-holders or existing shareholders wishing to subscribe for WRAP Retail Offer
Shares should contact their broker or wealth manager who will confirm if they
are participating in the WRAP Retail Offer.
Retail brokers wishing to participate in the WRAP Retail Offer on behalf of
Eligible Retail Investors, should contact [email protected].
The WRAP Retail Offer is expected to close at 2.00 p.m. on 12 February 2026.
Eligible Retail Investors should note that financial intermediaries may have
earlier closing times. The result of the WRAP Retail Offer is expected to be
announced by the Company, alongside the result of the Fundraise, on or around 13
February 2026.
There is a minimum subscription of £100 per investor under the WRAP Retail
Offer. The terms and conditions on which investors subscribe will be provided by
the relevant financial intermediaries including relevant commission or fee
charges.
The Company reserves the right to amend the size and timings of the WRAP Retail
Offer at its discretion. The Company reserves the right to scale back any order
and to reject any application for subscription under the WRAP Retail Offer
without giving any reason for such rejection.
It is vital to note that once an application for WRAP Retail Offer Shares has
been made and accepted via an intermediary, it cannot be withdrawn.
The new Shares will, when issued, be credited as fully paid, and have the right
to receive all dividends and other distributions declared, made or paid after
their date of issue.
Investors should make their own investigations into the merits of an investment
in the Company. Nothing in this announcement amounts to a recommendation to
invest in the Company or amounts to investment, taxation or legal advice.
It should be noted that a subscription for Shares and investment in the Company
carries a number of risks, including the risk that investors may lose their
entire investment. Investors should take independent advice from a person
experienced in advising on investment in securities such as the Shares if they
are in any doubt.
An investment in the Company will place capital at risk. The value of
investments, and any income, can go down as well as up, so investors could get
back less than the amount invested.
Neither past performance nor any forecasts should be considered a reliable
indicator of future results.
The WRAP Retail Offer is offered in the United Kingdom under the exemption from
the requirement to publish a prospectus pursuant to Schedule 1 (Part 1) of The
Public Offers and Admission to Trading Regulations 2024 and the Prospectus Rules
of the FCA. There is a Jersey legal requirement pursuant to the Collective
Investment Funds (Certified Funds – Prospectuses) (Jersey) Order 2012 (the
“Prospectus Order”) to provide certain information in respect of the WRAP Retail
Offer. This supplemental information can be found in the appendix to this
announcement (the “Supplemental Information”). The WRAP Retail Offer is not
being made into any jurisdiction other than the United Kingdom.
