# On 10 March 2025, the Company announced a share split resulting in Shareholders receiving 5 new ordinary shares in exchange for each existing ordinary share held at the record date of 12 March 2025. The comparatives against which the change during the year has been calculated have therefore been amended to reflect this share split.
Ian Dighé, Chairman, commented:
"Despite the many headwinds experienced in the UK over the period and the impact this has had on the Company's performance we continue to believe that investing in high quality, quoted, UK small and mid-cap companies will deliver strong capital growth for Shareholders over the longer term. Chelverton has a very credible track record from which to grow the size of the Company and deliver these returns. As market conditions improve the Board and the Investment Manager look forward to taking advantage of the opportunity presented."
The Directors are pleased to attach the Company's annual report and financial statements for the year ended 30 June 2025.
