Investment Update

The board of the Company is pleased to announce that having commenced acceleration proceedings in Q4 2012, settlement has been reached with the borrower of the Master Fund's French Offices loan (Loan 4) resulting in the full repayment of all principal and accrued interest, earning returns in-line with its investment criteria. The Company's share of proceeds realised by the Master Fund totals £10.1 million, equivalent to 13.59 pence per share.

The Company intends to distribute its share of the realised proceeds pertaining to capital received from the Master Fund, after the deduction of costs and expenses of this distribution along with amounts to be withheld for working capital and for any continuing purchases of the Company's own shares under the Buyback Programme, alongside its next quarterly dividend as a return of capital via an issue of redeemable B shares to existing shareholders and subsequent redemption of those shares pro rata to their holding at the time of the relevant issue.

The Company will issue further details concerning the return of capital along with a dividend, net asset value and investment update in November 2014. Further details of the capital return mechanism are summarised in the Company's Prospectus, which may be accessed via the Company's website (www.dreflimited.com).
