Marlin Global Updates re Distribution Policy and NAV Reporting

NZX-listed investment company Marlin Global Limited (NZX:MLN) confirms its previously announced
quarterly distribution of 2.04 cents per share will be paid on 27 March 2020.
At the same time, the Marlin Global board reiterates continuation of its distribution policy at 2.0% of
the average net asset value of the Marlin portfolio.
In recognition of rapid volatility in equity markets and to ensure increased transparency on market
movements, Marlin Global will, until further notice, increase its weekly NAV reporting from once per
week on Thursdays, to twice per week, to be published on Mondays and Thursdays. From here on,
these updates will be released to the NZX on these days and posted to the company’s website.
The Marlin Global website will be kept up to date with information on the portfolio and general
comments on global equity markets and shareholders are invited to keep up to date with
developments via these commentaries and financial data on the website.
The Marlin Global board has met with Fisher Funds investment management to discuss
developments in the equities markets and will continue an active liaison to ensure appropriate
decisions regarding the portfolio are well-considered and in line with previously advised strategies,
including holding quality stocks within the portfolio which meet the STEEPP criteria
