NOT FOR RELEASE, PUBLICATION OR DISTRIBUTION IN WHOLE OR IN PART IN OR INTO ANY JURISDICTION WHERE TO DO SO WOULD CONSTITUTE A VIOLATION OF THE RELEVANT LAWS OF SUCH JURISDICTION

6 DECEMBER 2010

RECOMMENDED ACQUISITION OF ASSET MANAGEMENT INVESTMENT COMPANY PLC ("AMIC") BY

GREENWICH LOAN INCOME FUND LIMITED ("GLIF")

On 26 October 2010, the boards of GLIF and AMIC announced that they were in discussions with a view to GLIF acquiring the entire issued share capital of AMIC on a recommended basis by way of a scheme of arrangement under Part 26 of the Companies Act 2006 (the "Scheme"). Under the Scheme, GLIF would be the ongoing company and AMIC would become a wholly-owned subsidiary of GLIF. It is also the intention of the GLIF Board to seek admission of the Enlarged Group to the Official List of the Channel Islands Stock Exchange, LBG ("CISX") (the "Proposed Listing") alongside its existing AIM quote, upon completion of the Scheme (together the "Proposals").

The boards of GLIF and AMIC today announce that they have agreed the terms of a cash offer (the "Cash Offer") with a share alternative (the "Share Alternative") under which GLIF will acquire the entire issued and to be issued ordinary share capital of AMIC at a price which represents an 8 per cent. discount to AMIC's formula asset value to be calculated on the Calculation Date, further details of which are set out below (the "Acquisition"). The Acquisition is subject, amongst other things, to the approval of both companies' shareholders and to Court approval.

A document equivalent to a prospectus for the purposes of the Prospectus Rules relating to the issue of New GLIF Shares and a circular in relation to the GLIF Extraordinary General Meeting required to approve, amongst other things, the Acquisition, are expected to be posted to GLIF Shareholders on or around 16 December 2010. A circular in relation to the Court Meeting and the AMIC General Meeting required to be held in order to implement the Acquisition, together with the prospectus equivalent document described above, are also expected to be posted to AMIC Shareholders on or around the 16 December 2010.

The AMIC Directors intend unanimously to recommend that AMIC Shareholders vote in favour of the resolutions to be proposed at the Court Meeting and the AMIC General Meeting, as they intend to do so in respect of their own beneficial holdings totalling approximately 9.9 per cent. of AMIC's issued share capital.

An AMIC Shareholder and certain AMIC Directors representing, in aggregate, approximately 28.8 per cent. of AMIC's issued share capital have given irrevocable undertakings to vote in favour of the Proposals. Further details of the irrevocable undertakings to vote in favour of the Proposals are set out below.

Terms used in this announcement shall have the same meaning as set out in Appendix III of this announcement.

Background to and benefits of the Acquisition

The GLIF Board approached the AMIC Board in June of this year indicating that it would like to combine the businesses of GLIF and AMIC and since then the two boards have been engaged in constructive discussions with one another. At the same time, the GLIF Board has approached certain AMIC Shareholders to explain the rationale and benefits of a combination of the two companies and to seek their support for the Acquisition.

The GLIF Board believes that the Acquisition should provide the following benefits:

· the merging of the two share registers should give greater strength and depth to the ownership of GLIF and a larger net asset base for the Enlarged Group which may provide more liquidity in GLIF Shares under normal market circumstances;

· the Acquisition should result in an enhancement in the Net Asset Value per GLIF Share and should be accretive to both capital and income for GLIF;

· although the Acquisition would result in the gross assets of the Enlarged Group being less than 10 per cent. greater than the current gross assets of GLIF, the Acquisition would diversify the sources of both capital and income for the Enlarged Group;

· a tax and cost efficient rollover for continuing AMIC Shareholders to retain an investment in a vehicle with an objective of producing stable and predictable dividend payments with a longer term investment horizon than AMIC; and

· cost reductions across the Enlarged Group through economies of scale and having one quoted holding company rather than two.

Background to and reasons for the recommendation

In October 2006, AMIC's investment policy was, with shareholder approval, amended to enable an orderly realisation of the portfolio. The AMIC Board also committed at that time, subject to all legal and regulatory requirements, to return cash to shareholders as and when surplus cash becomes available.

On 19 April 2010 the AMIC Board announced that it had sold its entire holding of ordinary shares in City of London Investment Group PLC realising approximately £3.6 million. Following this sale AMIC's portfolio consisted of three main assets and cash which together represented over 95 per cent. of AMIC's net assets.

Of these three assets, the $5 million investment in the 10% International Foreign Exchange Concepts (Holdings) Inc. ("FX Concepts") Note will mature on 31 May 2011 at which point the portfolio would, other than cash, hold only two unlisted investments of any significant value, namely IFDC S.A. Group and Lombardia Capital Partners. It is the AMIC Board's opinion that it is unlikely that full value could be realised from either of these investments in the short term.

Accordingly the AMIC Board commenced a review of strategy to address the need to return capital while ensuring that full value could be extracted from the remaining investments and which also protected shareholders who hold shares through PEPs and ISAs. It was during this review that GLIF made its initial approach to AMIC and, following a period of negotiation, the boards reached agreement on the terms of a cash offer with a share alternative under which GLIF will acquire the entire issued and to be issued share capital of AMIC under a scheme of arrangement.

In concluding that the Scheme should be recommended to the AMIC Shareholders, the AMIC Board has taken into consideration various factors including, but not limited to, the following:

· the level of the Cash Consideration, at an 8 per cent. discount to AMIC's Formula Asset Value compared to the average discount to Net Asset Value at which the AMIC Shares have traded being 14.5 per cent. over the 12 months prior to the announcement of the intention to make an offer on 26 October 2010;

· the certainty of value relative to Net Asset Value that the Cash Consideration would provide for AMIC Shareholders in the current economic climate, notwithstanding the fact that it may not match the AMIC Board's assessment of the underlying asset value that could potentially be realised over a longer time period;

· the option to take the Cash Consideration for AMIC Shareholders to exit in full rather than participate in the ongoing strategy of the Enlarged Group;

· the option to elect for the Share Alternative for AMIC Shareholders who hold their AMIC Shares in PEP and ISA accounts and who wish to participate in the ongoing strategy of the Enlarged Group to do so while retaining their investment in their tax efficient wrapper;

· the significant number, by shareholding, of AMIC Shareholders who have indicated, through the signing of irrevocable commitments and letters of intent, their support for the Scheme; and

· the implications for AMIC of the scheduled repayment of the FX Concepts loan note investment due in May 2011 which represents approximately 27 per cent. of AMIC's current net assets.

Full details of the Acquisition will be set out in the Scheme Circular, further details of which are set out below under "Documentation for Shareholders". The AMIC Directors do not intend to elect for the Share Alternative in respect of their own holdings of AMIC Shares and will therefore receive the Cash Consideration upon the Scheme becoming effective.

The AMIC Directors cannot, and do not, offer any advice or recommendation to AMIC Shareholders as to whether to elect for the Share Alternative. The choice between options for AMIC Shareholders is a matter for each AMIC Shareholder to decide and will be influenced by their individual financial and tax circumstances and their investment objectives. Any decision to elect for New GLIF Shares under the Share Alternative should be made on the basis of information set out in the Scheme Circular and in the Prospectus Equivalent Document. AMIC Shareholders who are in any doubt about the action they should take should consult their stockbroker, bank manager, solicitor, accountant or other independent professional adviser duly authorised under the Financial Services and Markets Act 2000 without delay.

Summary of the terms of the Acquisition

Under the terms of the Acquisition, conditional upon the Scheme becoming effective, AMIC Shareholders will receive cash as consideration for their AMIC Shares under the Cash Offer or (other than Overseas Shareholders) New GLIF Shares where they have elected for the Share Alternative.

Under the Cash Offer, cash will be paid in exchange for AMIC Shares valued at 92 per cent. of the "AMIC FAV". In essence, the AMIC FAV is calculated by reference to the value of the assets of AMIC and the liabilities attributed to it in terms of a formula. The calculation will be undertaken as at the Calculation Date. The use of formulae to calculate the consideration payable in relation to an offer for an investment trust's shares is common practice. Further details of the FAV are set out in Appendix II to this announcement.

Under the Share Alternative, which is offered as an alternative to the Cash Offer, New GLIF Shares will be issued in exchange for AMIC Shares valued at 92 per cent. of the AMIC FAV. The value of a New GLIF Share will be 28.25p being the mid-market closing share price of a GLIF Share on 25 October 2010, the business day prior to the Indicative Offer Announcement.

AMIC Shareholders will also be entitled to elect to receive a combination of cash under the Cash Offer and New GLIF Shares under the Share Alternative in respect of their holdings of AMIC Shares in such proportions as they wish.

The number of New GLIF Shares to be issued to AMIC Shareholders will be based on the AMIC FAV at the Calculation Date. The New GLIF Shares will, when issued and fully paid, rank pari passu in all respects with the Existing GLIF Shares including for dividends declared after the Effective Date.

AMIC Shareholders who wish to receive cash in respect of their entire holding of AMIC Shares need not make an election under the Scheme.

It is not anticipated that any dividends will be paid by AMIC between the date of the Announcement and the Effective Date. Any AMIC final dividend for the year ended 30 September 2010 which is declared for the purpose of retaining investment trust status prior to the Effective Date will have a record date falling after the Effective Date and will, under the terms of the Scheme, be payable to GLIF. Therefore, existing AMIC Shareholders should not expect to receive any further dividends in respect of their AMIC shareholding. The value of such dividends with a record date falling after the Effective Date will not be deducted from, and will be included in, the AMIC FAV.

AMIC Delisting, Cancellation of Trading and Re-registration

It is intended that the London Stock Exchange will be requested to cancel trading in AMIC Shares on the Main Market and the UK Listing Authority will be requested to cancel the listing of the AMIC Shares from the premium segment of the UKLA's Official List on the Business Day following the Effective Date. Further, it is intended that AMIC will be re-registered as a private limited company immediately upon or shortly after the Scheme becoming effective.

Listing on CISX

Following the Acquisition, the GLIF Board proposes that the Existing GLIF Shares will continue to be traded on AIM and application has been made for the New GLIF Shares to be admitted to trading on AIM. It is expected that Admission will become effective and dealings commence on the Effective Date, which is expected to be 31 January 2011.

In addition, an application will be made for all GLIF Shares (including the New GLIF Shares) to be admitted to the Official List of the CISX. It is expected that Admission will become effective and dealings commence on the Effective Date, which is expected to be 31 January 2011.

Shareholder approval will be sought at the GLIF Extraordinary General Meeting to approve the admission of the Existing GLIF Shares and the New GLIF Shares to the Official List of the CISX.

Information on GLIF

GLIF is a Guernsey-domiciled authorised closed-ended investment company. GLIF's objective is to produce a stable and predictable dividend yield, with long term preservation of Net Asset Value. GLIF aims to achieve this through investment in secured loans, primarily to "middle market" US companies.

GLIF was admitted to trading on the AIM market of the London Stock Exchange plc in August 2005 as "T2 Income Fund Limited" with an institutional offering of 38,000,000 shares at 100p. There were subsequent offerings of 5,000,000 shares in June 2007 and 44,000,000 shares in October 2009 (at which time GLIF also changed its name from "T2 Income Fund Limited" to "Greenwich Loan Income Fund Limited").

GLIF has only one class of share in issue, being GLIF Shares. As announced on 3 December 2010, at 30 September 2010 the preliminary unaudited Net Asset Value per GLIF Share was 77.6p and the Net Asset Value of GLIF was approximately £67.7 million. As at the close of business on 3 December 2010, 87,300,000 GLIF Shares were in issue and no shares were held in treasury.

Information on AMIC

AMIC was incorporated in England and Wales on 13 April 1994, and was listed on the London Stock Exchange on 1 December 1994. AMIC is a closed-ended self-managed investment trust company. Prior to October 2006, AMIC's objective was to provide shareholders with long term growth of capital and revenue through investment in the asset management industry. On 20 October 2006, AMIC Shareholders approved a change in investment objective in order to enable the orderly realisation of the portfolio.

AMIC has only one class of share in issue, being AMIC Shares. As at the close of business on 3 December 2010, 17,314,411 AMIC Shares were in issue and the unaudited Net Asset Value per AMIC Share was 80.4.p (cum-income). AMIC holds no shares in treasury.

Board of Directors

It is anticipated that the GLIF Directors will remain as directors of GLIF and, accordingly, will be the directors of the Enlarged Group. The AMIC Directors will resign on the Effective Date.

Information on financing the Scheme

The aggregate Cash Consideration for the Acquisition, based on an AMIC Formula Asset Value of 76.4p per AMIC Share as at 3 December 2010 (being the latest practicable date prior to the publication of this announcement) would be approximately £12.1 million (assuming that no AMIC Shareholders elect for the Share Alternative). GLIF has secured committed financing arrangements with Investec Bank plc for the provision to GLIF of the necessary funding to fund the Cash Consideration payable by GLIF to AMIC Shareholders under the Scheme.

Cash confirmation

Singer Capital Markets, financial adviser to GLIF, are satisfied that sufficient financial resources are available to GLIF to enable it to satisfy in full the Cash Consideration of approximately £12.1 million being payable to AMIC Shareholders (assuming no AMIC Shareholders elect for the Share Alternative).

Conditions and approvals

The Acquisition is conditional, among other things, upon:

(a) the Scheme becoming unconditional and effective by the Long Stop Date;

(b) approval of the Scheme by a majority in number of AMIC Shareholders who are present and vote, either in person or by proxy, at the Court Meeting (or any adjournment thereof) and who represent 75 per cent. or more in value of the AMIC Shares voted by such AMIC Shareholders;

(c) all resolutions to approve matters to give effect to the Scheme being passed by the requisite majority of AMIC Shareholders at the AMIC General Meeting or any adjournment thereof;

(d) the sanction of the Scheme and the confirmation of the Reduction of Capital by the Court (in either case, with or without modification, on terms acceptable to GLIF and AMIC), and the delivery of a copy of the Court Order and of a statement of capital to the Registrar of Companies and, if so ordered by the Court, the registration of the Court Order and the statement of capital by the Court;

(e) the approval of the Acquisition, the change in investment policy and the application for admission to the CISX by GLIF Shareholders at the GLIF Extraordinary General Meeting; and

(f) the Admission of the New GLIF Shares to trading on AIM and of the New GLIF Shares and the Existing GLIF Shares to the Official List of the CISX.

Risk Factors

An investment in GLIF Shares is subject to a number of risks that could materially and adversely affect GLIF's business, financial condition or results of operations. All known material risks are highlighted below:

· Past performance should not be taken to be a guide to the future performance of GLIF. Prospective investors should be aware that the market value of GLIF Shares (including any New GLIF Shares issued pursuant to the Acquisition) and the income derived from them may go down as well as up.

· There can be no guarantee that GLIF's investment objective will be achieved.

· As substantially all of the assets of GLIF continue to be invested directly in T2 CLO, GLIF is exposed to the performance of T2 CLO to a significant degree.

· The Enlarged Group's investments will not generally be in publicly traded securities. Substantially all of the securities in which the Enlarged Group invests will be subject to legal and other restrictions on resale or will otherwise be less liquid than publicly traded securities.

· The GLIF Shares may trade at a discount to Net Asset Value and GLIF Shareholders may be unable to realise their investments on the market at Net Asset Value.

· Any change in GLIF's tax status or in taxation legislation could affect the value of the investments held by GLIF, affect GLIF's ability to provide returns to shareholders, or alter the post-tax returns to GLIF Shareholders.

· The Acquisition is conditional on the satisfaction of certain conditions, including the passing of the requisite resolutions by both GLIF Shareholders and AMIC Shareholders and the sanction of the Court. If these conditions or any of the other conditions to the Acquisition are not satisfied or waived, the Acquisition will not proceed and GLIF will have an obligation to meet the costs in relation to the Proposals.

Irrevocable commitments

GLIF has received irrevocable undertakings from Philip J Milton & Company Plc and certain AMIC Directors to vote in favour of the resolutions to be proposed at the Court Meeting and the AMIC General Meeting necessary to approve the Scheme (or, as the case may be, to accept the Offer) in respect of 4,990,888 AMIC Shares (and any further AMIC Shares acquired by them which are attributable to or derived from such shares) representing approximately 28.8 per cent. of AMIC's current issued share capital. This undertaking shall terminate and be of no further force and effect if:

(i) the Scheme Document is not posted within 28 days (or such longer period as may be agreed between GLIF and the Panel) of the date of this announcement;

(ii) the Scheme lapses or is withdrawn without having become effective (except where GLIF exercises its discretion to proceed with the Offer otherwise than by way of the Scheme); or

(iii) a person other than GLIF or any person acting in concert with GLIF announces prior to the date of the Court Meeting a firm intention (in accordance with Rule 2.5 of the City Code) to make an offer (within the meaning of the City Code), which is not the subject of pre-conditions, to acquire all of the equity share capital of AMIC, other than that already owned by the person making such offer, on terms which represent (in the reasonable opinion of Singer Capital Markets Limited) an improvement of 10 per cent. or more on the value of the consideration offered under the Scheme.

It was announced on 26 October 2010 that GLIF had received letters of intent from Advance UK Trust PLC (in liquidation) ("Advance UK") and Carrousel Capital Ltd ("Carrousel") to vote in favour of the Scheme, representing 13.3 per cent. and 10.3 per cent. of AMIC's issued share capital. Since this announcement was made, both Advance UK and Carrousel have sold their entire holdings in AMIC. QVT Financial LP acquired interests over a significant majority of the AMIC Shares sold by Advance UK and all of the AMIC Shares sold by Carrousel in each case through contracts for difference. QVT Financial LP's resultant interests in AMIC Shares following the acquisition of these interests over AMIC Shares through contracts for difference, when combined with QVT's existing interests over AMIC Shares held through contracts for difference, represent 28.7 per cent. of AMIC's issued share capital (as disclosed on 3 November 2010).

For the purposes of Note 15 to Rule 8 as it refers to Note 3(d) to Rule 2.11 of the City Code, the value (and other material terms) of the Acquisition in respect of which the above irrevocable commitments have been procured are those of the Acquisition.

Opening Position Disclosures and Interests

GLIF confirms that on 8 November 2010 and 10 November 2010, Opening Position Disclosures were made setting out the details required to be disclosed by it under Rule 8.1(a) of the City Code.

Documentation for Shareholders

The formal documentation setting out the details of the Acquisition, including the Scheme Circular setting out the procedures to be followed to approve the Scheme and the Prospectus Equivalent Document in relation to the New GLIF Shares, will be posted to AMIC Shareholders as soon as is reasonably practicable, and in any event within 28 days of the date of this announcement (or such later date as GLIF and AMIC may, with the consent of the Panel, agree).

The formal documentation setting out the details of the Acquisition, including the Prospectus Equivalent Document in relation to the New GLIF Shares and a circular in relation to the GLIF Extraordinary General Meeting required to approve, amongst other things, the Acquisition, will be posted to GLIF Shareholders at the same time as the relevant formal documentation is posted to AMIC Shareholders.

Forward-looking statements

This document may contain "forward-looking statements" concerning GLIF and AMIC. Generally, the words "anticipate", "believe", "estimate", "expect", "forecast", "intend", "may", "plan", "project", "should" and similar expressions identify forward-looking statements. Such statements reflect the relevant company's current views with respect to future events and are subject to risks and uncertainties that could cause the actual results to differ materially from those expressed in the forward-looking statements. Many of these risks and uncertainties relate to factors that are beyond the companies' abilities to control or estimate precisely, such as changes in general economic and business conditions, changes in currency exchange rates and interest rates, lack of acceptance of new exchange rates and interest rates, introduction of competing products or services, lack of acceptance of new products or services, changes in business strategy and the behaviour of other market participants and therefore undue reliance should not be placed on such statements. GLIF does not intend or assume any obligation to update these forward-looking statements other than as required by law.

APPENDIX II

CALCULATION OF AMIC FAV

The AMIC FAV shall be calculated as at the Calculation Date and shall be the amount in pence which is the result of the following formula, rounded to four decimal places (with 0.00005p being rounded upwards):

AMIC FAV = A - B

where:

"A" is the aggregate of:

(i) the value of those investments which are listed, traded, quoted or dealt in on a stock exchange, calculated by reference to the bid quotations or, if not available, prices or the last trade prices for those investments as at the Calculation Date as derived from the relevant exchange's recognised method of publication of prices for such investments;

(ii) the value of those investments which are dealt in or traded on any publicly-available exchange or market (including any "over-the-counter" market but excluding any exchange or market referred to in paragraph (i) above) calculated by reference to the average of the prices marked for such investments on each of the five business days up to and including the Calculation Date on which there were dealings of trading in such investments as derived from the relevant market's recognised method of publication of prices for such investments;

(iii) the value of all other investments, calculated as being their fair and realisable values in accordance with IAS 39 as at the Calculation Date as determined by agreement between the GLIF Board, on behalf of GLIF, and by the AMIC Board, on behalf of AMIC (or, failing such agreement within three days the Calculation Date, as determined by an independent expert);

(iv) the amount, as at the Calculation Date, of any sums due from debtors (including, for this purpose, any dividends or distributions receivable on investments quoted ex-dividend or ex-distribution on the Calculation Date and any interest accrued on any debt securities as at the Calculation Date and any recoverable tax credit in relation thereto, but excluding any dividend, distribution or interest not yet received which has been taken into account in the value of any investments referred to in paragraphs (i) to (iii) (inclusive) above or is unlikely to be received), cash and deposits with or balances at banks, bills receivable and any money market instruments (together with, in each case, any accrued interest at that date less an accrual for any associated tax) and the fair realisable value of any other tangible assets not otherwise accounted for in paragraphs (i) to (iii) (inclusive) above, less any provision for diminution of value (including provisions for bad or doubtful debts), in each case, as determined by agreement between the GLIF Board, on behalf of GLIF, and by the AMIC Board, on behalf of AMIC (or, failing such agreement within three days the Calculation Date, as determined by an independent expert);

"B" is the aggregate of:

(i) the principal amounts as at the Calculation Date of any outstanding borrowings plus any accrued but unpaid interest, commitment fees and other charges up to and including that date and the higher of any premiums or penalties payable on either early or final repayment if required;

(ii) the cost, as at the Calculation Date, of closing any open foreign exchange or other forward purchase or sale contract;

(iii) the cost, as at the Calculation Date, of termination of any service provider arrangements in force on that date, including, but not limited to, any compensation or other payments to be made to any administrator, secretary, director or employee of AMIC, such amount to include irrecoverable value added tax (where applicable) but to exclude any tax relief;

(iv) the rental costs, as at the Calculation Date, associated with the lease in respect of Fourth Floor (South), 30/32 Ludgate Hill, London EC4 to the end of the term of such lease (being 24 March 2012), together with any associated additional insurance, service charges, rates including irrecoverable value added tax (where applicable) but to exclude any tax relief;

(v) the cost, as at the Calculation Date, of terminating any other contracts or arrangements whatsoever in force on that date to which AMIC is a party, but excluding, for the purpose of this paragraph (v), any arrangements referred to in (iii) above;

(vi) the total cost of any dividend or other distribution declared by AMIC with a record date falling after the Calculation Date and on or before the Effective Date;

(vii) the aggregate of the amount of any Panel fees, UK Listing Authority fees and printing costs to be borne by AMIC in respect of the Acquisition, as may be applicable (including any VAT chargeable);

(viii) the aggregate of the amount of all accrued but unpaid professional, advisory, legal and other fees and other advertising costs and expenses incurred by AMIC in connection with the Acquisition, such amount to include irrecoverable value added tax (where applicable) but to exclude any tax relief;

(ix) the aggregate of the amount of any accrued but unpaid professional, advisory, legal and other fees and advertising and other costs and expenses whatsoever incurred by AMIC otherwise than in connection with the Acquisition, such amount to include irrecoverable value added tax (where applicable) but to exclude any tax relief; and

(x) an amount which fully reflects all other liabilities and obligations of AMIC whatsoever, including a fair provision for any contingent liabilities (including any additional liabilities to taxation, whether or not deferred) and any liabilities arising on liquidation) or losses (including disputed claims) as at the Calculation Date determined by agreement between the GLIF Board, on behalf of GLIF, and by the AMIC Board, on behalf of AMIC (or, failing such agreement within three days the Calculation Date, as determined by an independent expert); and

"C" is the aggregate of the number of AMIC Shares in issue as at the Calculation Date.

Notes:

1. For the purpose of the above calculations, the value of any investments, other assets or liabilities denominated or valued in currencies other than sterling shall be converted into sterling at the closing mid point spot rate of exchange between sterling and such other currencies in London as at the close of business on the Calculation Date as published in the Financial Times or, failing which, as certified by GLIF (acting as an expert and not as an arbiter).

2. In the case of sub-paragraphs A(i) and (ii) above, if there has been any general suspension of trading on the relevant stock or other securities exchange or market, or if it was closed for business on the Calculation Date, the value of the relevant investments shall be taken as at the close of business on the immediately preceding date on which there was trading on such exchange or market, provided that such date is not more than seven days prior to the Calculation Date and save that, if there has been a material adverse change in the financial position of any such underlying investment since the date by reference to which its value is calculated but prior to the close of business on the Calculation Date, a fair provision (as determined by agreement between the GLIF Board, on behalf of GLIF, and the AMIC Board, on behalf of AMIC (or failing such agreement within three days after the Calculation Date, as determined by an independent expert)) shall be made to take account of such adverse change in the value of the relevant investment.

3. Subject to note 2 above, in the case of sub-paragraphs A (i) and (ii) above:

(i) where any such investment is subject to restrictions on transfer or a suspension of dealings or if no such published or quoted prices are available in respect of any such investment, in each case as at the close of business on the Calculation Date, the value of such investment will be calculated as at the close of business on the Calculation Date in accordance with sub-paragraph A (iii) above; and

(ii) where any such investment is, at the close of business on the Calculation Date, subject to any right of any person to acquire the same or any obligation on AMIC to dispose of the same, whether as a result of the Acquisition being made or becoming or being declared unconditional or otherwise, at a price more or less than would otherwise be determined in accordance with sub-paragraphs A (i) and (ii) above, such investment shall be valued at such greater or lesser price unless such right or obligation is unconditionally and irrevocably waived or lapses prior to the calculation of the AMIC FAV otherwise being agreed or determined.

4. Subject to note 5 below, with regard to sub-paragraph A (iii) above, the GLIF Board and the AMIC Board, and if appointed, any independent expert, shall have regard, inter alia, to the following when determining the value of any investment or other asset (which shall be calculated on the basis of a notional sale by a willing seller to a willing buyer, without regard to any additional value that might be attributed to such investment or other asset by any special category of potential purchaser):

(i) the International Private Equity and Venture Capital Valuation Guidelines;

(ii) the existence or exercise of any pre-emption rights or obligations in respect of such investment or other asset or any other restrictions on the transfer or disposal of the same which may exist or which may arise as a consequence of the Acquisition or any AMIC Shares or of the transfer of such investment or other asset to any party or of the winding up of AMIC;

(iii) the terms and volumes of any recent dealings in, and marketability of, such investment or other asset; and

(iv) the amount of any bona fide offer to acquire such investment or other asset which may be made by any person and brought to the attention of the GLIF Board and the AMIC Board or, if appointed, any independent expert.

5. With regard to sub-paragraph A (iii) above, the GLIF Board, the AMIC Board and, if appointed, any independent expert shall, except in the case of debtors and tangible assets, be bound by the actual amount of cash items and, in the case of debtors and tangible assets, shall adopt the accounting policies used by AMIC in its latest audited financial statements.

6. If any liability referred to in paragraph B above has not been determined by the date on which the calculations and adjustments otherwise necessary to determine the AMIC FAV have been made, there shall be included in "B" such amount in respect of any such liability as shall be considered to be an appropriate estimate by agreement between the GLIF Board and the AMIC Board (or failing such agreement within three days after the Calculation Date, as determined by an independent expert).

7. The independent expert referred to herein shall be a member of the Association for Financial Markets in Europe (not connected with any of the parties providing advice to AMIC or GLIF in connection with the Acquisition) selected by the GLIF Board, the AMIC Board or, in default of such selection within 3 days after the Calculation Date, by the chairman for the time being of the Association for Financial Markets in Europe on the application of either the GLIF Board or the AMIC Board. Such member shall act as an expert and not as an arbitrator and his determination shall (subject to any agreement to the contrary between GLIF and AMIC) be final and binding on all persons and such member shall not be under any liability to any person by reason of his appointment or by anything done or omitted to be done by him for the purposes of such appointment or in connection therewith.

8. Notwithstanding any of the above provisions, in the event that the valuation of any investment or other asset of AMIC in accordance with any of such provisions, or the amount of any deduction made in accordance with sub-paragraph B above, is, in the opinion of the GLIF Board and the AMIC Board, incorrect or unfair they may, if they so agree, adopt an alternative method of valuation or deduction, as the case may be.

The number of GLIF Shares to be issued and allotted per AMIC Share pursuant to the Acquisition will be announced through a Regulatory Information Service as soon as reasonably practicable following the Calculation Date.
