Dear Shareholder

 

We are writing to you as a Shareholder in the Fund to inform you that the Board of Directors has, with regret, determined that, pursuant to Clause 10 Appendix II of the Memorandum & Articles of Association of the Company (the "M&A"), it is in the best interests of the Shareholders to terminate the Fund as of 14 June, 2017 (the "Termination Date").

 

The decision of the Board of Directors to terminate the Fund is based on the advice of the Promoter and the Investment Manager that the continued existence and operation of the Fund is not economically viable.

 

Therefore, in accordance with the above provisions of the M&A and the Prospectus of the Company, we hereby give notice of our intention, as Directors of the Company to:

i) cancel the listing of the Fund and the right of the Fund to be traded on any relevant stock exchanges with effect from close of business on 12 June, 2017;

ii) terminate the Fund with effect from 14 June, 2017,

 

and to proceed with the compulsory repurchase of all outstanding shares of the Fund.
