Information Memorandum dated 25th June 2008 (amended
15th February 2010) as may be amended from time to time.

INITIAL OFFER PERIOD From 15th February 2010 to 15th March 2010 unless
otherwise agreed by the Board of Directors, during which

FORM OF SHAREHOLDING Shares will be issued in uncertified form and no share
certificates will be issued in the Cell unless otherwise
agreed by the Board of Directors

SUBSCRIPTION FOR SHARES Subject to the Companies Act and as herein provided any
Participation Shares in the Cell for the time being unissued
shall be under the control of the Directors who may allot
them during the Initial Offer Period and Continuing Offer
to such persons, on such terms and in such manner as they
think fit.

Subject as hereinafter provided, on receipt by the


Company’s Administrator of:

(a) an application in writing in the form specified in


this Private Information Memorandum or in such
other form as the Directors may from time to
time determine, and

(b) the additional information and declarations


specified in this Private Information
Memorandum (or such additional information and
declarations (if any) as the Directors may from
time to time determine);

Company may, subject to the terms of this Private
Information Memorandum and the provisions of the
Memorandum and Articles of Association of the
Company, issue to the Applicant Participation Shares in
the Cell.

SUBSCRIPTION FEE None

LOCK UP PERIOD None

SERIES OF SHARES Participation Shares will be available for issue in a different


series on a monthly basis on the first day of each calendar
month. The initial series will be designated “Lead Series”
and each subsequently issued series will be referenced
based on the date if issue. For the purposes of series
accounting each series shall constitute a “Series Account”
to which the subscription monies received from the issue
of Participation Shares of that series will be allocated,
together with investments and income, gains and losses
derived therefrom. Cellular liabilities will generally be
allocated among the series proportionately and debited to
the various Series Accounts. However, liabilities
specifically attributable to a particular series of

The Quay Umbrella Fund PCC Limited Page 6


Cell L – Galileo Managed Sports Fund
1 February 2010
Participation Shares (including Management Fees and
Performance Fees payable to the Investment Manager as
to that series) will be debited to the Series Account for that
series.

The Cell is permitted to consolidate different series of


Participation Shares into a single series at any time
provided that the consolidation will have no adverse
impact on any Shareholder or affect the calculation of
expenses, the Management Fees or the Performance Fees
payable to the Investment Manager.

Generally the consolidation of the series into the lead


series will occur after each annual reporting date. For
example the first consolidation of series will occur after 31
December 2010.

TRANSFER OF SHARES All transfers of Shares may be affected by transfer in


writing in any form as the Directors may accept. Any
instrument of transfer shall be signed by or on behalf of
the transferee and the transferor who shall be deemed to
remain the holder until the name of the transferee is
entered in the Register.

No transfer of any Share in the capital of the Company


shall be made or registered without the previous sanction
of the Directors who may in their absolute discretion and
without assigning any reason therefore, decline to register
any transfer of any Share whether or not it is a fully paid
Share.

CONVERSION OF SHARES Subject to the provisions of the Memorandum and Articles


of Association of the Company, Nominal Shares may, at
the Directors absolute discretion, be converted into
Participation Shares of the class of its issuance at an
amount equal to the Offer Price of the Participation Shares
in issue. The conversion of Nominal Shares to
Participation Shares will be subject to the holder of the
Nominal Shares being an Eligible Person at the time of
conversion.

REDEMPTION OF SHARES Redemption of Shares in the Cell by the Shareholders


takes place monthly on the last day of each month (the
“Redemption Day”).

The Directors reserve the right, at their absolute


discretion, to delay the payment and/or make stage
payments in relation to a redemption to correspond with
the time when liquid funds are available to fund the
redemption.

The Quay Umbrella Fund PCC Limited Page 7


Cell L – Galileo Managed Sports Fund
1 February 2010
Participation Shares will be redeemed at the net asset value
per Share of the relevant series as of each Redemption Day
pursuant to ten (10) Business Days written notice which
must be received by the Cell prior to the last day of each
month (or such shorter notice period as the Company’s
Directors shall, in their discretion, permit) prior to the
relevant Redemption Day.

Nominal Shares will be redeemed at the same value of


which they were issued out of any monies which may
lawfully be applied for the purpose.

Unless a Shareholder specifies otherwise in writing in his


or her redemption request, upon a partial redemption by a
Shareholder who holds Participation Shares of multiple
series, the redemption will be allocated among those series
on a first-in-first-out basis. Due to the separate calculation
of the Performance Fee as to each series of Participation
Shares, it is possible that, if a Shareholder owns
Participation Shares of different series, a redemption of
Participation Shares of one series will result in the payment
of a Performance Fee to the Investment Manager, while
redemption of Participation Shares of a different series
would not, but would result in the reduction of the losses
that must be recovered before the Investment Manager
may receive a Performance Fee as to that series.

Applications for redemptions shall be in writing in the


form specified in this Private Information Memorandum
or in such other form as the Directors may from time to
time determine, and shall contain the additional
information and declarations specified in this Private
Information Memorandum (or such additional information
and declarations (if any) as the Directors may from time to
time determine).

COMPULSORY REDEMPTIONS The Directors reserve the right, subject to the provisions
of the Companies Act, at any time, by giving thirty (30)
days prior written notice to a Shareholder, to compulsory
redeem all or any of that Shareholder’s Participation Shares
following the expiry of the thirty (30) day notice period
(the ‘Compulsory Redemption Date’).

The price at which any Participation Share shall be


compulsorily redeemed shall be the NAV per Participation
Share of that Participation Share as of the close of business
on the Valuation Day prior to the Compulsory
Redemption Date, and:

The Quay Umbrella Fund PCC Limited Page 8


Cell L – Galileo Managed Sports Fund
1 February 2010
(1) shall be payable on the Compulsory Redemption
Date; and

(2) shall be paid in the Base Currency of the Cell


being redeemed or, at the option of the Directors,
in any other currency or in specie.

All costs incurred in a compulsory redemption of


Participation Shares shall be for the account of the
Shareholder thereof and may be withheld from the
proceeds of the redemption.

The Company and the Cell shall have no responsibility in


effecting a compulsory redemption of Participation Shares
other than to act in good faith and in a commercially
reasonable manner.

The procedure for determining which Participation Shares


will be compulsorily redeemed in any particular case is
subject to change at the discretion of the Directors. In
exercising discretion and in making determinations as to
whether to compulsorily redeem Participation Shares, and
in determining which Shareholders shall be subject to
compulsory redemption, the Directors may act upon the
basis of such information as may be known to it, without
any obligation to make special inquiries, and may rely upon
the advice of counsel. In no event shall the Company, the
Cell or the Investment Manager be liable to any
Shareholder for any consequence of exercising any
discretion or making any determination with respect to
such compulsory redemption.

REDEMPTION FEE The Investment Manager reserves the right, at their sole
and absolute discretion, to charge a redemption fee that
would be payable by Shareholders in the Cell on
redemption from the Cell. The redemption fee is payable
on a reducing scale on the amount subscribed for in the
Cell at the following rates:

Redemptions within 1 year of subscription 5%


Redemptions within 2 years of subscription 4%
Redemptions within 3 years of subscription 3%
Redemptions within 4 years of subscription 2%
Redemptions within 5 years of subscription 1%
Redemptions after more than 5 years
from subscription 0%

For the sake of clarification, if an investor who had


subscribed €100,000 in the Cell decided after 40 months to
redeem their investment in the Cell the redemption fee

The Quay Umbrella Fund PCC Limited Page 9


Cell L – Galileo Managed Sports Fund
1 February 2010
would be payable at a rate of 2% based on the amount
subscribed in the Cell, i.e. on €100,000. The valuation of
the shareholding at the time of the redemption would not
be relevant to the charge and calculation of the redemption
fee

FREQUENCY OF
VALUATIONS Valuations will be made monthly on the last calendar date
of each month, with the first valuation being on 31 March
2010 unless otherwise agreed by the Board of Directors
(the “Valuation Day”).

(or at other such rates as the Directors may from time to
time determine).

TOTAL ADDITIONAL

The Quay Umbrella Fund PCC Limited Page 10


Cell L – Galileo Managed Sports Fund
1 February 2010
Company which are not attributable to a particular cell or
cells shall be allocated and charged between one or more
cells in such manner and on such basis as the Directors, in
their absolute discretion, deem fair and equitable and the
Directors have the power to and may at any time, and
from time to time, vary such basis including where
circumstances so permit the subsequent re-allocation of
such liabilities, expenses, costs, charges and reserves.

CUSTODIAN The Company has appointed Credit Suisse (Gibraltar)


Limited (“Credit Suisse” and/or the “Custodian”) of
Neptune House, Marina Bay, Gibraltar to act as the
Custodian for the Company. Details in relation to the
activities that the Custodian will perform for the Cell are
set out below in Section 4 of this Private Information
Memorandum.

FEES

INVESTMENT MANAGER The Investment Manager will receive a Management Fee


of 3% per annum (or pro rata for any period less than a
year) calculated based on the net asset value of each series
of the Cell at each Valuation Day. The Management Fee
will be calculated monthly and payable monthly in arrears.

The Investment Manager reserves the right, on receipt of a


subscription in the Cell, to drawdown up to 4% of the
funds subscribed to the Cell as advance management fees
for marketing purposes (hereafter referred to as “Advance
Management Fees”). Advance Management Fees will be
re-credited to account over a five year period. In the event
of redemption any uncredited Advance Management Fees
will be re-credited to account.

The Investment Manager will receive a Performance Fee


equal to 30% of the net profits including net unrealised
gains and losses and net of the Management Fee of each
series of the Cell at each quarter ended 31 March, 30 June,
30 September and 31 December. The Performance Fee
will be calculated quarterly and payable quarterly in arrears.

The Performance Fee shall be subject to a High Water


Mark. The High Water Mark prevents the Investment
Manager from receiving a Performance Fee as to profits
that simply restore previous losses and is intended to
ensure that each Performance Fee is based on the long-
term performance of an investment in the Cell attributable
to the relevant series of shares. The Performance Fee will
also be paid to the Investment Manager upon any

The Quay Umbrella Fund PCC Limited Page 11


Cell L – Galileo Managed Sports Fund
1 February 2010
redemption of shares by a Shareholder, whether voluntary
or involuntary.

The Investment Manager reserves the right to charge the


Cell up to €1,800 per month for risk management
software.

HIGH WATER MARK The Investment Manager’s Performance Fee related to


each series of shares is subject to what is commonly
known as a “High Water Mark”. That is, if the cumulative
profits for the quarter attributable to each series of shares
has a net loss in any calendar quarter (a “Quarter”), this
loss will be carried forward as to each series of shares to
future Quarters (such amount is referred to as a “Loss
Carry Forward”). Whenever there is a Loss Carry Forward
for a series of shares with respect to a Quarter, the
Investment Manager will not receive an Performance Fee
with respect to such series for future Quarters until the
Loss Carry Forward amount for such Shareholder has
been recovered (i.e., when the Loss Carry Forward amount
has been exceeded by the cumulative profits allocable to
such series for the Quarters following the Loss Carry
Forward).

Once the Loss Carry Forward has been recovered, the


Investment Manager’s Performance Fee shall be based on
the excess profits (over the Loss Carry Forward amount)
with respect to each series, rather than on all profits. The
“High Water Mark” prevents the Investment Manager
from receiving a Performance Fee as to profits that simply
restore previous losses and is intended to ensure that each
Performance Fee is based on the long-term performance
of an investment in the Cell. However, because the
Investment Manager’s Performance Fee is paid on a
quarterly basis, it is possible that the Investment Manager
may receive a Performance Fee during a year with respect
to which the Cell, on an aggregate basis, incurs a net loss
for such year.

The Board of Directors may, at their absolute discretion,


alter the application of the Loss Carry Forward with
respect to certain series of shares upon the agreement of
the Shareholders .

ADMINISTRATOR The Administrator of the Cell will receive a fee of 15 basis


points (0.15%) per annum based on the net asset value of
each series of the Cell. Calculated to be 0.15% x 1/12 of
the net asset value of each series of the Cell at each
Valuation Day. The basis points fee will be applicable
when the net asset value of the Cell is equal to or in excess

The Quay Umbrella Fund PCC Limited Page 12


Cell L – Galileo Managed Sports Fund
1 February 2010
of £8 million. When the net asset value of the Cell is less
than £8 million a minimum fee will be due to the
Administrator. The minimum fee will be agreed between
the Administrator and the Board of Directors at a
commercial rate for the service so provided. The
Administration Fee is to be calculated on an accruals basis
and is payable in arrears.”

CUSTODIAN The Custodian of the Cell will receive a fee of 10 Basis


Points (0.10%) per annum based on the net asset value of
each series of the Cell. Calculated to be 0.10% x 1/12 of
the net asset value of each series of the Cell at each
Valuation Day. The Custodian Fee is to be calculated
monthly and payable monthly in arrears.

INVESTMENT ADVISOR The Investment Advisor will not be remunerated by the


Cell and/or the Company. The Investment Advisor will
receive remuneration for its services provided to the Cell
and/or the Company from the Investment Manager. The
Investment Manager will remunerate the Investment
Advisor from the Management Fees and Performance Fess
that it receives from the Cell and/or the Company.

TRANSACTION FEES The Investment Manager will charge an administrative fee


per transaction for producing a consolidated daily
transaction report, a daily profit and loss and a Monthly
statement, including financial management of the account
balances at the various betting exchanges. The Cell will
pay charges at reasonable commercial rates to the
Investment Manager in relation to preparing the
transaction report.

SET-UP FEES Costs and expenses associated with the set-up of Cell L,
including professional fees and expenses in connection
with the drafting of the Cell’s information documents, are
expected not to exceed £15,000 which will be paid for by
the Investment Manager. Such organisational costs and
expenses will be amortised and charged to the Cell over a
period of 60 months. It is important to note that under
International Financial Reporting Standards the
amortisation of such costs are not allowed and in
accordance with International Financial Reporting
Standards such costs may be expensed in full in the
audited financial statements of the Company in order for
the financial statements to be prepared in accordance with
International Financial Reporting Standards. The Directors
acknowledge that amortising such costs are in line with
industry practice.

The Investment Manager’s principals, who are also directors of the Company, are Philip Hamilton
Docker and Andrew Keith Beckwith.

major customer. The business continues and Mr. Docker left to pursue other opportunities.

Mr. Docker is one of the founding directors of Quay Financials (Gibraltar) Limited (formerly known
as Van Der Moolen (Gibraltar) Limited).

ANDREW KEITH BECKWITH - GIBRALTAR

The Quay Umbrella Fund PCC Limited Page 15


Cell L – Galileo Managed Sports Fund
1 February 2010
Mr. Docker and Mr. Beckwith, as detailed above, have extensive experience within the securities and
derivatives sector of the financial services industry. They will be responsible for the research, and for
making decisions as to which Investment Advisor(s) should be appointed to act for the Cell, and will
thereafter be responsible for the monitoring and performance of the Investment Advisors and the
funds under management.

In order for the Investment Manager to be able to undertake its investment management function
the Investment Manager has formed an investment committee (the “Investment Committee”).

The Investment Committee is an informally appointed committee who will assist with the
information gathering in relation to the appointment of Investment Advisors, it will monitor the
Investment Advisors (and their investment activity in reference to the investment restrictions of the
funds under management), and deal with other matters as and when requested to do so by the
Company. The Investment Committee will not, however, have decision making and/or action
powers, such powers will remain (without exception) with the Investment Manager.

The Investment Committee is the vehicle that the Investment Manager has put in place in order to
assist with the undertaking of its responsibilities. It is not intended to be, nor will it be, a transferral
of its responsibilities. The Investment Manager will retain all such powers and responsibilities.

2. APPOINTMENT OF INVESTMENT ADVISOR

On 8th February 2010 the Investment Manager entered into an agreement, entitled the “Trading
Agreement”, with the Investment Advisor (defined in Section 3 of this Part B Private Information
Memorandum).

In accordance with the terms of the Trading Agreement the Investment Manager acknowledges that
it has entered into an agreement with the Company, the Investment Management Agreement, and in
accordance with the terms of the Investment Management Agreement the Investment Manager has
agreed to provide investment management services to the Company. In the performance of such
investment management services the Investment Manager has appointed the Investment Advisor to
execute transactions in investments on agreed sports betting exchanges (and any other such sports
betting exchanges or platforms as the Investment Manager and Investment Advisor may agree and
for which the Investment Advisor is authorised and licensed to advise on or provide services) in
respect of the assets of this Cell. The Investment Advisor in signing the Trading Agreement has
accepted its appointment and will forthwith undertake the function of executing transactions in
investments on behalf of the Cell.

In accordance with the Trading Agreement the Investment Advisor shall remain in office until such
time as the Trading Agreement is terminated. Either party shall have the right to terminate the
Trading Agreement immediately by notice to the other party upon the happening of any of the
following events or alternatively by mutual consent:

him or enters into any deed of arrangement or similar agreement in favour of his creditors, or
any company of which he is a director goes into liquidation or has a receiver or administrator
appointed in relation to it; or

• If a receiver or administrator is appointed of the undertaking and assets of the Investment


Manager.

• the Investment Advisor commits any breach of, or commit any act or omission which may
cause the Investment Advisor, the Investment Manager and the Company to be in material
breach of regulatory or exchange rules or other applicable laws, rules and regulations as in
force from time to time as applicable to this Agreement;

SECTION 3
INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE, STRATEGY, PORTFOLIO EXPOSURE AND RISK
MANAGEMENT

The following is a general description of the principal types of investments on agreed sports betting
exchanges in which the Investment Advisor on behalf of the Investment Manager may invest, certain
trading techniques that it may be employed, the investment criteria that the Investment Advisor plans
to apply, and the guidelines that it has established with respect to the composition of the
investments. The following description is merely a summary and investors and/or potential investors
should not assume that any descriptions of the specific activities in which the Cell may engage are
intended in any way to limit the types of investment activities which the Cell may undertake or the
allocation of capital among such investments. The Investment Manager reserves the right to alter the
investment policy or strategy as deemed appropriate from time to time in its discretion after having
consulted with the Directors of the Company and obtaining their approval.

5. INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE

The investment objective of the Cell is to seek absolute returns in the global sports markets
environment. The Investment Advisor utilises both a fundamental and technical approach in
analysing investment opportunities across all sport classes on global sports markets. The global
sports markets are betting exchanges, similar to the financial exchanges that provide a price.
Examples of sports exchanges are Betfair, Betsson, Betdaq and Sporting Index, The investment
advisor will either buy (back) or sell (lay), the investment advisor will have the option of the price at
which they want to trade and will then trade those odds on acceptance whilst the event is in play.

The Investment Advisor should be considered as representing a long volatility strategy and therefore
should be expected to perform incrementally in a volatile environment. When the prices on the
betting exchanges are volatile, the investment advisor is presented with opportunity. Operating on a
discretionary basis, with the input of technical indicators, fundamental analysis and money
management techniques the trader invests for short to medium term with commensurate volume and
order activity implications.

The Investment Advisor will seek to achieve its objective by trading and investing on agreed sports
betting exchanges. The Investment Manager at their sole and absolute discretion may invest in
related sports exchange traded funds, platforms sports exchange traded products, or similar liquidity
providers.

The Investment Advisor will trade long and short sports strategies that will have a directional
component, as well as spread trading, and arbitrage and relative value strategies on sports betting
exchanges. The Investment Advisor will utilise medium and short term time frames including
opportunistic intraday trading.

6. INVESTMENT STRATEGY

Trade decisions on agreed sports betting exchanges made by the Investment Advisor will be made
through analysing the sports markets using a combination of technical and fundamental inputs in a
structured way.

The Quay Umbrella Fund PCC Limited Page 21


Cell L – Galileo Managed Sports Fund
1 February 2010
Firstly historic data from the exchanges are processed through the “Centaur SI: Stats”, a bespoke
system that is the back-end to the trading platform. The historic data from the exchange reflects up
to 10 years of event prices. From this the Centaur SI: Stats poses a number of “what if” questions
and scenarios based on firstly pre-event analysis and secondly, and once the event has started, live
event analysis. The system gives out trade probabilities. Pre-event the Centaur SI: Stats looks for
probability outputs on any sporting events. From this a team of analysts will then fundamentally
review the technical data and initiate a pre-event recommendation to the trader(s) via levels, signals,
weekly reports, underlying levels, with the ability to produce 1hr, daily, weekly, monthly analysis
feedback. The trader(s) has the option of entering the market pre- event or holding off until the live
event. During the selected live event a position is monitored and increased, if already initiated, or
entered into on that event. The trade size is determined on recent news, volatility of the price and
liquidity in the market. The Centaur Stats: SI regenerates its algorithms on a minute by minute basis,
updating parameters and probabilities on any sporting event where there is historical data.

The Investment Advisor may use a variety of technical analyses such as moving averages, Fibonacci
levels, Relative strength, MACD and volume/price relationships for trade entry and exit levels and or
similar pricing models utilizing, weather, surface, team form, player form, trends, probabilities,
historicals, trend output calculators and other methods to ascertain trade price value.

6.1 CONCENTRATION

The Investment Advisor does not target market weightings across the investment spectrum and
therefore has no position pressures to unduly influence either trade or time period considerations.

The Investment Advisor is focussed on the European, US and Asian time zones trading global sports
markets as value and experience dictates.

6.2 EXCHANGE

The Investment Advisor will solely utilize recognized sports exchanges in accessing trade liquidity.
The Investment Manager may utilize authorized liquidity providers in portfolio positioning.

6.3 OVERNIGHT DEPOSITS

The Investment Manager may deposit overnight monies in bank/brokerage accounts to utilise
overnight deposit facilities. For longer term cash holdings, the Manager may invest in other money
market instruments.

7. RESTRICTIONS

7.1 INVESTMENT RESTRICTIONS

The Cell will not:

(i) Invest more than 20% per cent of its gross assets in investments of any one event at any one
time.
(ii) Take or seek to take legal or management control of any entity in which it invests;
(iii) Invest more than 20 per cent of the gross assets of the Cell in the units or shares of other
collective investment schemes;

The Quay Umbrella Fund PCC Limited Page 22


Cell L – Galileo Managed Sports Fund
1 February 2010
(iv) Invest in real property or physical commodities; and
(v) The Cell will not have any side pockets.

The restrictions (i), (iii) and (iv) above apply as at the date of the relevant transaction or commitment
to invest. Changes in the investment portfolio of the Cell will not have to be effected merely because
any of the limits contained in such restrictions would be breached as a result of any appreciation or
depreciation in value, or by any reason of the receipt of any right, bonus or benefit in the nature of
capital or of any scheme or arrangement for amalgamation, reconstruction or exchange or by reason
of any other action affecting every holder of the relevant investment. However, no further relevant
investments will be acquired until the limits are again complied with. In the event that any of the
investment restrictions are inadvertently breached, the Investment Advisor will take immediate
corrective action to rectify the breach.

The Investment Advisor will execute transactions in investments on agreed sports betting exchanges
(and any other such sports betting exchanges or platforms as the Investment Manager and
Investment Advisor may agree) in respect of the assets of this Cell. The decision in relation to cash
management (overnight deposits, etc) and acquiring investments elated sports exchange traded funds
or platforms, or similar liquidity providers will be at the sole and absolute discretion of the
Investment Manager.

7.2 BORROWING/LEVERAGE RESRICTIONS

The Cell does not Borrow nor will it use Leverage.

8. RISK MANAGEMENT

The Investment Manager is responsible for the risk management of the Cell.

The Investment Advisor looks for Investment and trading opportunities in global professional
sporting activities with the main focus on the sports exchange traded markets. The Investment
Advisor looks for trades with attractive risk reward characteristics and ratios. Stop and limit orders
may be executed against both profitable and loss making positions based on money management
principals, fundamental news and technical inspired price levels.

Due to the discretionary trading approach of the Investment Advisor and the short to medium term
nature of positions entered, risk management techniques employed are protective in nature.

The Investment Advisor will position and trade the portfolio which may be diversified across
different markets globally but will be focused on a limited number of strategies which are identified
and perceived to have a high expected return for the risk taken.

The Investment Advisor will initiate, increase, reduce or exit positions based on a number of risk
analyses techniques and inputs including Value at Risk consideration at all levels of position
exposure, margin to Net Asset Value exposure limitations both Intra-day and overnight as well as
daily and monthly loss limits across the portfolio.

The Investment Advisor will enter positions with the intention of maintaining them for the short to
medium term, unless unexpected market movements or events or new information or analysis make
it prudent to exit the positions in order to realise profits, or to stop or avoid losses.

IMPORTANT CONSIDERATIONS
The Cell may hold a limited number of investment positions.

Investors must recognise that there are inherent limitations on all descriptions of trading methods
due to the complexity, confidentiality and, in the case of the discretionary features of such
approaches, the indefinite nature of such methods. In addition, the description of the trading
strategies must be qualified by the fact that trading approaches are continually changing, as are the
events in the underlying sports betting exchanges.

THERE CAN BE NO ASSURANCES THAT THE CELL’S INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE


WILL BE ACHIEVED. THE FOLLOWING INFORMATION SHOULD BE READ IN
CONJUNCTION WITH THE DESCRIPTION OF CERTAIN RISKS INHERENT TO
THE CELL'S STRATEGY AND INVESTMENT TECHNIQUES.

SECTION 4
CUSTODIAN ARRANGEMENTS

9. CUSTODIAN

The Company has appointed Credit Suisse (Gibraltar) Limited (“Credit Suisse” and/or the
“Custodian”) of Neptune House, Marina Bay, Gibraltar to act as the Custodian for the Company.
The Custodian has been appointed on behalf of and pursuant to an agreement that has been entered
into between the Custodian and the Company on or around the 15th February 2010. In accordance
with the Financial Services (Experienced Investor Funds) Regulations 2005, Credit Suisse in its
capacity as Custodian will act as the Company’s depositary. The Company may, from time to time,
appoint a broker and/or brokers to act for the Company’s Cells. If appointed the broker and/or
brokers may, at the discretion of the Investment Manager, hold cash and/or investments on behalf
of the Cells. If a broker has been appointed the details of appointment and responsibilities and
actions of the broker will be detailed in each applicable Part B document of this Private Information
Memorandum.

Credit Suisse is authorised under Gibraltar’s Financial Services (Banking) Act for deposit taking
business and is also authorised to conduct investment business. Credit Suisse is also licensed to act as
a Collective Investment Scheme Custodian, licence number FSC00016B. Credit Suisse is a member
of the Credit Suisse group of banks.

Credit Suisse will provide safe custody services to the Cell (referred to as the “Fund” by Credit
Suisse) subject to clause 14 of a custody agreement, that states the following: “If the Fund appoints
other parties (“Co-Custodians”) to hold assets and other property belonging to the Fund, and such
parties are not appointed by Credit Suisse, the Fund agrees to advise all investors in writing before or
at the time of subscription to the Fund of the existence of these parties and shall specifically refer to
this clause in any offering document or memorandum of the Fund. All risks and consequences that
might result for Credit Suisse from such appointment shall be borne by the Fund. Credit Suisse bears
no liability nor provides any guarantees whatsoever for the performance of any obligations on the
part of the Co-Custodian, its affiliates, agents or representatives. In particular but without prejudice
to the generality of the foregoing, Credit Suisse shall not be liable for any failure on the part of the
Co-Custodian, its affiliates, agents or representatives to pay outstanding cash or other assets due to
the Fund and/or failure to deal properly with corporate actions relating to the assets and other
property held by the Co-Custodian. The Fund hereby holds harmless and indemnifies and keeps
indemnified Credit Suisse and its officers and employees from and against all liabilities, costs and
damages of any kind (including, for the avoidance of doubt, all legal expenses incidental thereto) that
may be incurred by any of them and all actions or proceedings that may be brought by or against
them, as a result of the appointment of a Co-Custodian under this clause 14.”

The agreement provides that Credit Suisse may alter the fees at any time.

The Custodian will not provide any other services or perform any other functions except safekeeping
and the usual administrative matters relating to the safekeeping of assets of the Cell, and will have no
other duties or responsibilities relating to the Cell; for example the Custodian will not provide
advisory services or asset management services nor will it monitor investment management activities
or investment strategies of the Cell. The Custodian shall not supervise or control the activities of the
Board of Directors, Investment Manager or the Administrator of the Cell. The Custodian does not
warrant the contents of the relevant fund-documentation nor will it be involved in the management,
administration or Net Asset Value calculation of the Cell. The Custodian does not act as sponsor or

The Quay Umbrella Fund PCC Limited Page 25


Cell L – Galileo Managed Sports Fund
1 February 2010
promoter of the Cell; therefore, the Custodian does not assume any liability for negligent or willful
misconduct of the Directors, Investment Manager or Administrator and potential investors should
not rely on the Custodian in deciding whether or not to invest in the Cell.

The Cell may appoint additional depositaries in the future if the Directors deem that this would assist
the running of the Cell.

Any custodian will be responsible solely for the assets that it holds in custody. The Cell may remove
the Custodian in accordance with the custody agreement between the parties.

If the Directors deem it necessary, the Cell may enter into a credit facility agreement with Credit
Suisse whereby Credit Suisse may make available to the Cell a revolving credit facility in the current
account for the purposes of enabling it to manage a temporary mis-match between cash flows of
investments which are redeemed and investments which are purchased, and to manage a temporary
mis-match of investor subscriptions and redemptions. The credit facility can, subject to the terms
and conditions of the documentation relating thereto, be drawn upon and repaid and prepaid from
time to time and contains a number of conditions precedent, representations and warranties,
undertakings, events of default, indemnities and other terms and conditions which are customary in
loan facilities of this nature. Outstanding loans under the credit facility will bear interest at a rate
established by Credit Suisse from time to time. Accrued (debit and credit) interest shall be paid on a
monthly basis. The obligations of the Cell to Credit Suisse, in connection with the credit facility will
be secured by the assets in which the Cell invests from time to time. Those assets will be required to
be deposited with the Co-Custodian or with a third party acceptable to Credit Suisse.

RISK FACTORS

10. INVESTMENT RISKS

An investment in the Cell involves significant risks not associated with other investment vehicles and
is suitable only for persons of adequate financial means who have no need for liquidity in this
investment. There can be no assurances or guarantees that (i) the investment objectives will prove
successful or (ii) investors will not lose a portion or all of their investment in the Cell.

As with any investment, the value of an investment in the Cell may decrease as well as increase,
depending on a variety of factors which may affect the values of the Cell’s portfolio of assets,
including general economic conditions, market factors and currency exchange rates. Additionally,
investment decisions made by the Investment Advisor will not always be profitable or prove to have
been correct. It should be noted that the Cell and/or the Company will not be liable to the investors
for special, indirect or consequential damage or for lost profits or loss of business. Investment in the
Cell carries a very high degree of risk. The following does not purport to be exhaustive and potential
investors should review this Private Information Memorandum carefully and in its entirety and
consult with their professional advisors before making an application for Participation Shares.

10.1 DEPENDENCE UPON THE INVESTMENT ADVISOR AND INVESTMENT


MANAGER

The Cell’s success will depend on the management, skill and acumen of the Investment Advisor and
the Investment Manager. If some of the personnel employed by the Investment Advisor and/or the
Investment Manager should leave, become incompetent, disabled, die or otherwise cease to
participate in the Cell’s management, the Investment Advisor’s and/or the Investment Manager’s
ability to select attractive investments and/or manage the Cells portfolio could be severely impaired.

10.2 FOREIGN JURISDICTIONAL AND RECOGNITION OF SEGREGATED


PORTFOLIOS

The Company is established as a segregated portfolio company under Gibraltar’s PCC Act. As a
matter of Gibraltar law, the assets of one segregated portfolio will not be available to meet the
liabilities of another. However, the Company is a single legal entity which may operate or have assets
held on its behalf or be subject to claims in other jurisdictions which may not necessarily recognise
such segregation and in such circumstances the assets of one cell may be exposed to the liabilities of
another. At the date hereof, the Directors are not aware of any such jurisdictions or any such
existing contingent or actual liabilities.

In the event that the Directors, or the Company’s service providers, fail to keep the portfolios of the
Company properly segregated, or in the event that proceedings against the Company are started in a
jurisdiction which does not recognise the asset segregation of segregated portfolios, it may transpire
that certain assets attributable to a cell are available to meet all of the liabilities of the Company,
regardless of the cell to which such assets or liabilities are attributable.

The Quay Umbrella Fund PCC Limited Page 27


Cell L – Galileo Managed Sports Fund
1 February 2010
10.3 NO PARTICIPATION IN MANAGEMENT

The overall management of the Company’s operations is vested solely in the Directors and the
investment management decisions and function have been delegated by them to the Investment
Manager who in-turn has delegated the day-to-day running of the Cell to the Investment Advisor
(who will operate under the monitoring and supervision of the Investment Manager). The
Shareholders have no right to take part in the conduct or control of the business of the Cell and/or
the Company. In connection with the management of the Cell’s and/or the Company’s business, the
Directors and the Investment Manager and its principals will devote only such time to Cell and/or
Company matters as they, in their sole discretion, deem appropriate.

10.4 LIMITATION OF LIABILITY AND INDEMNIFICATION AND


INDEMNIFICATION OF THE INVESTMENT MANAGER AND THE
INVESTMENT ADVISOR

The Investment Management Agreement between the Company and the Investment Manager and
the Trading Agreement between the Investment Manager and the Investment Advisor indemnifies
the Investment Manager and the Investment Advisor against and shall not be liable for, any loss or
liability incurred in connection with the affairs of the Cell and/or the Company, so long as such loss
or liability arose from acts performed in good faith and not involving gross negligence or wilful
misconduct.

10.5 HEDGING TRANSACTIONS

The Investment Advisor is not obligated to establish hedges for portfolio positions and may not do
so. To the extent that hedging transactions are effected, their success is dependent on the Investment
Advisor’s ability to correctly predict movements in the direction of currency rates, interest rates,
commodities and the equity markets.

10.6 VOLATILITY

The profitability of the Cell substantially depends upon the Investment Advisor correctly assessing
the value and future price movements of sports exchanges. Accordingly, investors should understand
that the results of a particular period will not necessarily be indicative of results in future periods.
Variance in the degree of volatility of the sports market from the Cell’s expectations may produce
significant losses to the Cell.

10.7 BORROWING/LEVERAGE

The Cell will not borrow or use leverage. The investment positions are on a mark to market basis
only. The product is not a leveraged product and the Cell’s portfolio is not leveraged.

10.8 LIQUDITY

From time to time, the counter parties with which the Cell effects transactions might cease making
markets or quoting prices in certain sporting events. In such instances, the Cell might be unable to
enter into a desired transaction in sports events, or to enter into any offsetting transaction with
respect to an open position, which might adversely affect its performance. Similarly, it may not
always be possible for the Cell to execute a buy or sell order on the sports exchanges at the desired
price or to liquidate an open position either due to market conditions. If trading on a sports exchange

The Quay Umbrella Fund PCC Limited Page 28


Cell L – Galileo Managed Sports Fund
1 February 2010
is suspended or restricted, the Cell may not be able to execute trades or close out positions on terms
which the Investment Advisor believes are desirable.

10.9 SOVEREIGN DEFAULT RISK AND RISKS OF GOVERNMENT


INTERVENTION

The prices of instruments in which the Cell may trade or invest are subject to certain risks arising
from government regulation of or intervention in the markets, through regulation of the local
market, restrictions on foreign investments by residents or limits on inflows of investment funds.
Such regulation or intervention could adversely affect the Cell’s performance. Dealing by the Cell in
investments issued or guaranteed by sovereign governmental entities also presents risk of loss in the
event of default by a government or governmental entity.

10.10 MARKET RISK

The investments of the Cell are subject to normal market fluctuations and the risks inherent in
investments in sports betting instruments and there can be no assurances that appreciation will occur.
The price of the Cell’s Participation Shares can go down as well as up and investors may not realise
their initial investment.

10.11 EXCHANGE RISKS

The sports markets in different countries will have different clearance and settlement procedures for
trades or transactions and in certain markets there have been times when settlements have been
unable to keep pace with the volume of transactions, thereby making it difficult to conduct such
transactions. Delays in settlement could result in temporary periods when assets of the Cell are not
invested and no return is earned thereon. The inability of the Cell to make intended trades or
transactions due to settlement problems could cause the Cell to miss attractive investment
opportunities.

10.12 POSITION LIMITS

Many exchanges have established limits, referred to as “position limits”, on the maximum net long or
net short positions which any person may hold or control, in particular. Although it is possible that
the trading decisions of the Investment Advisor may have to be modified and that positions held by
the Cell may have to be liquidated in order to avoid exceeding such limits, the Investment Manager
believes that this is unlikely. If it is required, however, the modification of trading decisions or the
elimination of open positions may adversely affect the profitability of the Cell and, consequently, the
Net Asset Value of the Cell.

10.13 FEES AND EXPENSES

Whether or not the Cell is profitable, it is required to pay fees and expenses including organisation
and offering expenses, transaction fees, Custody, administrative, investment management and
operating expenses, although Custodian, administrative and investment management expenses are
related to the Net Asset Value of the Cell.

The Quay Umbrella Fund PCC Limited Page 29


Cell L – Galileo Managed Sports Fund
1 February 2010
10.14 POSSIBLE INDEMNIFICATION OBLIGATIONS

The Cell and/or the Company is generally obligated to indemnify the Directors, the Investment
Advisor, the Investment Manager, the Administrator and the Custodian, under the various
agreements entered into with such persons against certain liabilities they or their respective affiliates
may incur in connection with their relationship with the Cell and/or the Company.

10.15 CONCENTRATION OF INVESTMENTS

Although the Investment Advisor may follow a general policy of diversification of the capital
attributable to the Cell, the Investment Advisor may hold a few, relatively large equity or other
positions in relation to the capital attributable to the Cell. Consequently, a loss in any such position
could result in a proportionately higher reduction in the Net Asset Value of the Cell than if the Cell’s
capital had been spread among a wider number of equity or other positions.

10.16 CURRENCY RISK

The Net Asset Value of the Cell will be calculated in Sterling, whereas the Cell’s investments may be
acquired in other currencies. The value in terms of Sterling of such investments, which may be
designated in any currency, may rise and fall due to exchange rate fluctuations of individual
currencies. Adverse movements in currency exchange rates can result in a decrease in return and loss
of capital. It may be possible or practicable to hedge against the consequent currency risk exposure.

10.17 LIMITED LIQUIDITY OF SHARES

While a Shareholder may transfer their shares in accordance with the terms of this Part B Private
Information Memorandum, no shares may be transferred directly or indirectly to a U.S. person. The
Directors do not anticipate that an active secondary market will develop in the shares of the Cell. The
Cell also has the right to suspend redemption of shares in the circumstances described in this Part B
Private Information Memorandum.

10.18 DISTRIBUTION POLICY

The Articles empower the Directors to declare dividends in respect of any shares in the Cell out of
net income (including dividend and interest income) and the excess of realised and unrealised capital
gains over realised and unrealised losses in respect of investments of the Cell. Accordingly, while it is
the current intention of the Directors not to declare dividends and to reinvest in the Cell any
amounts available for distribution, dividends in cash or in kind may be declared by the Directors at
their discretion.

10.19 FURTHER RISK

These Risk Warnings cannot and do not disclose all risks associated with the underlying activity of
the Managers involving which involves betting. All form of betting involves a high degree of risk and
the size of any profit is variable. It is always in the best interests of any potential investor to fully
understand the risks involved before investing in the Company.

The Quay Umbrella Fund PCC Limited Page 30


Cell L – Galileo Managed Sports Fund
1 February 2010
10.20 BETTING EXCHANGE RISKS

Once the Cell’s offer for a bet is accepted, the Cell will not be able to change the terms of its offer
even if it had intended to cancel the offer but failed to do so or the message to the betting exchange
to cancel the offer was not received and processed or there was a delay in the transmission of the
offer from the Investment Advisor to the Investment Manager.

Most betting exchanges such as Betfair or BetDaq have a discretion to suspend betting on any
market earlier than anticipated and/or void certain bets or a market in its entirety. Such actions, if
taken, could prejudice the performance of the Cell.

Similarly the exchanges cannot guarantee that every offer displayed as outstanding will be available
for the Cell’s acceptance. All or part of the offer of a bet displayed as available on any exchange at
specific odds or price may be successfully cancelled by one or more counterparties before the
Company’s acceptance is processed.

11. REGULATORY RISKS

11.1 REGULATORY APPROVAL

The Company’s activities do not currently fall within the scope of any activity currently regulated by
the Gambling Commissioner (Gibraltar Regulatory Authority). It is not possible to predict whether
any such regulation will be introduced in the future although none is currently foreseen. Any
amendments to Gaming Law in Gibraltar that may affect the Company will be considered by the
Directors who will always act in the best interests of the Company.

11.2 STRATEGY RESTRICTIONS

Certain institutions may be restricted from directly utilising investment strategies of the type the Cell
may engage in. Such institutions should consult their own advisors, counsel and accountants.

11.3 TRADING LIMITATIONS

For all sports events traded on an exchange, the exchange generally has the right to suspend or limit
trading under certain circumstances. Such suspensions or limits could render certain strategies
difficult to complete or continue and subject the Cell to suffer loss. Also, such a suspension could
render it impossible for the Investment Advisor to liquidate positions and thereby expose the Cell to
potential losses.

11.4 TAX RISK

As the Company is an Experienced Investor Fund, the Company will obtain from the Commissioner
of Income Tax of a certificate of exemption from Gibraltar income tax on investment income under
the Income Tax (Allowances, Deductions and Exemptions) Rules 1992.

As long as the Company maintains a certificate of exemption from the Commissioner of Income Tax
and it maintains its exemption, there are no deductions of any withholding taxes to shareholders not
resident in Gibraltar for Gibraltar income tax purposes. No death duties, capital gains tax, gift,
inheritance or capital transfer taxes are levied in Gibraltar.

The Cell may invest in securities sourced in countries other than Gibraltar. Income derived from the
underlying investments of the Company and/or any of its Cells may be subject to local taxation in
the country where those investments are situated.

The Shareholders in the Company may be resident for tax purposes in many different countries and,
accordingly, no attempt is made in this Private Information Memorandum to summarise the tax
consequences for every investor who might become a Shareholder in the Cell and/or the Company.
Prospective investors should therefore consult their professional advisors on the possible tax
consequences of subscribing for, acquiring, holding, transferring or redeeming Shares under the laws
of their country of citizenship, residence, domicile or incorporation.

11.5 ENFORCEMENT OF LEGAL RIGHTS

The Company is organised under the laws of Gibraltar. As a result, it may not be possible for
investors to effect service of process within their jurisdiction upon the Cell and/or the Company or
certain of the other persons named herein. All or a substantial portion of the assets of the foregoing
persons may be located outside of the jurisdiction of the investor and, as a result, it may not be
possible to satisfy a judgment against any of such persons in the investor’s jurisdiction or to enforce a
judgment obtained in the investor’s jurisdiction against such persons.

11.6 INCREASED REGULATION OF FINANCIAL MARKETS

Substantial additional regulation on the financial markets may be imposed at any time in the future.
Although it is not possible to predict what, if any, regulatory changes will in fact be imposed, any
such regulations could significantly impair the liquidity of the market or restrict the Cell and/or the
Company’s access to such markets.

11.7 REGULATORY SUPERVISION

The Cell’s investments will not be monitored or supervised by any regulatory body, however, the
Company and its Administrator are subject to the authority of the Financial Services Commission of
Gibraltar.

12. CONFLICTS OF INTEREST

12.1 GENERAL

The Investment Advisor and Investment Manager are accountable to the Company in a fiduciary
capacity and, consequently, must exercise good faith and integrity in handling the business of the Cell
and/or Company. Nevertheless, in the conduct of such business, conflicts may arise between the
interests of the Investment Advisor and Investment Manager and those of investors, and you should
be aware of these conflicts of interest before investing.

12.2 NO OBLIGATION OF FULL-TIME SERVICE

The Investment Advisor and/or Investment Manager have no obligation to devote its full time or
substantial time to the business of the Cell and/or the Company. It is only required to devote such
time and attention to the affairs of the Cell and/or the Company as it decides is appropriate and it
may engage in other activities or ventures, including competing ventures and/or unrelated

employment, which result in various conflicts of interest between such persons and the Cell and/or
the Company.

12.3 ADVISORY SERVICES TO OTHERS

The Investment Advisor and/or the Investment Manager and/or its managers, members, officers,
affiliates and employees may provide investment advice to other parties and may manage other
accounts and private investment vehicles similar to the Company.

12.4 DIVERSE SHAREHOLDERS

The Shareholders are expected to include taxable and tax-exempt entities and persons or entities
resident of or organised in various jurisdictions. As a result, conflicts of interest may arise in
connection with decisions made by the Investment Advisor and/or the Investment Manager that
may be more beneficial for one type of Shareholder. In making such decisions, the Investment
Advisor and/or the Investment Manager intends to consider the investment objectives of the Cell as
a whole, not the investment objectives of any Shareholder individually.

12.5 USE OF THIRD PARTY MARKETERS

The Investment Advisor and/or the Investment Manager may enter into fee sharing arrangements
with third party marketers or solicitors who refer investors to the Company. Such third party
marketers may have a conflict of interest in advising prospective investors whether to purchase or
redeem Shares.

SECTION 6
METHOD OF VALUATIONS

13. NET ASSET VALUE

The Net Asset Value will be calculated separately for each series of Participation Shares on each
Valuation Day. The Net Asset Value per Participation Share for each series is determined by dividing
the Net Asset Value of each series by the number of Participation Shares outstanding for that series.

In accordance with the Company’s Memorandum and Articles of Association the Cell’s Net Asset
Value shall be calculated by the Administrator of the Company on an accruals basis of accounting as
at the close of business on each Valuation Day or at other such times as the Directors may
determine.

The value of the assets and liabilities attributable to the Cell and the method of valuation of such
assets and liabilities shall be determined by the Directors (which may consult with and rely on the
advice of the Investment Manager or the Administrator).

The Company’s (and the Cell’s) financial statements are to be prepared in accordance with
International Financial Reporting Standards and in accordance with the following:

• Unsettled bets (open bets) will be valued on a cost basis.

• Settled bets (realised bets) will be valued on a cash basis.

• Any investments (betting or otherwise) not denominated in GBP Sterling shall be translated
into GBP Sterling at prevailing exchange rates as the Investment Manager in consultation
with the Board of Directors may reasonably determine.

The NAV per Participation Share of the Cell shall be calculated by:

(1) Ascertaining the NAV of the Cell as at each Valuation Day or at other such time as the
Directors may determine;

(2) Dividing the resulting NAV by the number of issued Participation Shares in the Cell
outstanding (including the Participation Shares (if any) being redeemed on the Dealing Day
following such Valuation Day and the effect of Nominal Shares) and;

(3) Rounding the resulting NAV per Participating Share to the nearest whole Cent and in the case
of fractions of 0.005 and more, rounding up.

The Company is a protected cell company that is governed by the rules and regulations of the PCC
Act. In accordance with the rules and regulations of the PCC Act all assets and liabilities of the Cell
and income and expenditure of the Cell shall be the property of the Cell. The general income and
expenditure of the Company, not directly attributable to a particular cell of the Company, shall be
borne by each cell in proportion to the Net Asset Values of the cells. Thus the Shareholders will not
have any interest in any assets or liabilities of any other cell of the Company other than the cell
attributable to the shares in the cell held by them.

The Quay Umbrella Fund PCC Limited Page 34


Cell L – Galileo Managed Sports Fund

The determination of the NAV per Participation Share of the Cell shall be examined and reported
thereon by the Company's auditors as part of the audit of the Company’s affairs for that financial
reporting period and as of the Company’s Financial Reporting Date. The Company’s financial
statements, presenting all assets, liabilities, income and expenses of the Company and the Cell, shall
be made available at the registered office of the Administrator as soon as possible after each
Financial Reporting Date. In the event that there is a disagreement between the Directors and the
Auditors regarding any such determination and the Directors and the Auditors are unable to reach
agreement, the final determination shall be made by the Directors. In such a case, the Auditors shall
express any differing opinion in their report.

14. VALUATION OF ASSETS AND LIABILITIES OF THE CELL

The value of the assets and liabilities attributable to each Cell and the method of valuation of such
assets and liabilities shall be determined by the Directors (which may consult with and rely on the
advice of the Investment Manager or the Administrator). The Company’s financial statements are to
be prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards.

The assets of the Cell shall be deemed to include the following:

(1) all financial assets;

(2) all cash on hand, on deposit, including any interest accrued thereon;

(3) all bills and demand notes and accounts receivable (including proceeds of financial instruments
sold but not delivered);

(4) all interest accrued on any interest-bearing financial instruments owned by the Cell, except to
the extent that the same is included or reflected in the principal amount of such financial
instruments;

(5) the start-up and operating expenses of the Company insofar as the same have not been
amortised; and

(6) all other assets of every kind and nature, including, without limitation, prepaid expenses.

The liabilities of the Cell shall be deemed to include the following:

(1) all financial liabilities;

(2) all loans (if any), bills and accounts payable;

(3) all accrued or payable expenses (including all fees payable to the Administrator, Custodian,
Investment Manager, or any other service provider and any of their agents, as well as any
allowance for estimated annual audit fees, directors fees, legal fees and other fees);

(4) all known liabilities, present and future, including, without limitation, all matured contractual
obligations for payments of money or property;

Cell L – Galileo Managed Sports Fund

(5) an appropriate provision for taxes due and future taxes to be assessed on the basis of the
current year’s results and year-end NAV calculation; and

(6) all other liabilities of the Cell of whatsoever kind and nature for which reserves are determined
to be required by the Directors.

In determining the amount of liabilities of the Cell the Directors, at their absolute discretion, of a
regular or recurring nature on an estimated figure for yearly or other periods in advance and accrue
the same in equal proportions over any such period.

The Directors, in consultation with the Administrator, shall be entitled to adopt an alternative
method of valuation in relation to any particular asset or liability if the Directors consider, on the
advice of the Investment Manager and/or the Administrator, that the method of valuation otherwise
provided for in the Memorandum and Articles of Association does not provide a fair valuation of
that asset.

For full details of the method of valuation, and rules regarding recognition and derecognition, of the
financial assets and liabilities of the Cell please refer to the Company’s Memorandum and Articles of
Association and Private Information Memorandum.
