Net Asset Value

NOT FOR RELEASE, DISTRIBUTION OR PUBLICATION, DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY, TO U.S. PERSONS OR INTO OR IN THE UNITED STATES, AUSTRALIA, CANADA OR JAPAN.

As at the close of business on 29 February 2012, the unaudited net asset values per Share were as follows:

 
Share class      NAV        Monthly 
                           performance 
------------  ----------  ------------ 
 USD Shares   USD 0.8761     +6.59% 
------------  ----------  ------------ 
 EUR Shares   EUR 0.6682     +6.44% 
------------  ----------  ------------ 
  C Shares    USD 1.0227     +2.38% 
------------  ----------  ------------ 
 

The NAV increase is net of an accrued performance fee (estimated at USD0.0142 per USD Share, EUR0.0105 per EUR Share and USD0.0055 per C Share) reflecting the fact that the NAV and distributions to the end of the month for all Share classes were in excess of their respective thresholds.

The difference in performance between the USD and EUR Shares and the C Share is primarily due to distributions received in February from Income Note investments (estimated as $7.3 million or USD0.0226 per USD and EUR Share, nil for the C Share) and the ramp up of the C Share portfolio (estimated as 61% at the end of January and 88% at the end of February).
