Update on the Company's Holdings

26 August 2011

The Company wishes to update Shareholders on the status of certain issuers of Debt Securities held by the Company. As Shareholders are aware, in order to fulfil its investment objective, the Company held seven Debt Securities, including one issued by Glitnir banki hf. This Debt security had a nominal value of GBP6,000,000 and accounted for approximately 15 per cent of the total nominal value of the Company's Debt Securities.

The Company submitted a claim to Glitnir banki hf for GBP10,050,000 in respect of the Debt Security, such amount being equal to the maximum redemption proceeds of GBP1.675 per GBP1 nominal. The Winding-Up Board of Glitnir banki hf has written to the Company to advise it accepts ISK 954,639,375 of the claim, being equal to approximately GBP5.1 million based on exchange rates as at close of business 24 August 2011. The Winding-Up Committee of Kaupthing Bank hf has previously advised that it accepts ISK 1,125,075,218 in respect of the claim submitted to it, being equal to approximately GBP6.0 million based on exchange rates as at close of business 24 August 2011.

Shareholders should be aware that it is likely that Glitnir banki hf and Kaupthing Bank hf may not pay the full amounts accepted or, indeed, anything at all. Whilst recovery rates from issuers that default vary and in this case are currently unknown, the worst case scenario would see nothing received from Glitnir banki hf and Kaupthing Bank hf.

Any claims which are paid may be paid in currencies other than Sterling and/or in forms other than cash. Any payments received may therefore be subject to currency fluctuations and/or other market movements.

Shareholders will be aware that the Company's interests in the Glitnir bank hf Note and the Kaupthing Bank hf Note are in the process of being transferred into the name of Anson Custody Limited as trustee of the CEAF 2011 Defaulting Note Trust (the "Trust"); whereupon all shareholders in the Company will become the beneficiaries of the Trust. Anson Custody Limited has created a website at http://www.anson-group.com/ceaftrust.html via which it intends to communicate generally with all beneficiaries and advertise to them any third party offers received for their interests in the Trust's Notes
