Dear Shareholder,
We are writing to you as a Shareholder in the Fund to inform you that the board of directors (the "Board") has, with regret, determined that, pursuant to Clause 10 Appendix II of the Constitution of the Company (the "Constitution"), it is in the best interests of the Shareholders to terminate the Fund with effect from 20th November 2024 (the "Termination Date").

ii) terminate the Fund with effect from 20 November 2024; and
iii) to proceed with the compulsory repurchase of all outstanding shares of the Fund.
