3 Our dedicated professional Liquidation Services Desk conducts a large number of liquidations with different levels of complexity each year. With proven expertise in the field, we accompany stakeholders throughout the liquidation process. They are provided with appropriate and independent advice to help them decide the proper course of action depending on their needs and objectives. Moreover, we ensure that the liquidation process is transparent to shareholders and unitholders and is dealt with in accordance with all legislative requirements. Thanks to this support, fund promoters can concentrate on launching new strategies and leave the liquidation tasks to dedicated and independent professionals.

4 Why liquidate funds? The reasons to liquidate investment funds are manifold and can include: During the liquidation period, it is beneficial for the fund s directors to be released from their ongoing duties and responsibilities. As from the date of the appointment, the independent liquidator will take over all duties and responsibilities. The outgoing board of directors is formally discharged at an extraordinary general meeting of shareholders, and the audited financial statements as at the beginning of the liquidation are presented to the shareholders of the fund for approval.

5 How we can help you? The successful delivery of a fund liquidation requires strong project management skills and a clearly defined execution step plan.

10 Our case studies Portfolio transfer through subscription in kind We were appointed liquidator to the voluntary liquidation of a flagship hedge fund with an investment portfolio of 420 million (mainly hedge funds and several British Virgin Islands wholly-owned subsidiaries) by a renowned asset manager in the United Kingdom. The shareholders had resolved to transfer the investment portfolio into a new umbrella structure through a subscription in kind in exchange for shares in the new structure. We distributed the shares in the new structure through a payment in kind (PIK) to the shareholders of the liquidating fund. In a single day, we completed the whole portfolio transfer, issuance of shares in the new investment structure, and the subsequent distribution of the shares to the shareholders of the liquidating fund through a PIK. Daily liquidation NAVs per share were published throughout the liquidation period. Liquidation of a multi-jurisdiction investment structure We were appointed liquidator to the voluntary liquidation of an investment structure with a wholly-owned Mauritian subsidiary by an asset manager in the United States. We liaised with the board of directors of the Mauritian subsidiary about the conversion of participating redeemable preference shares into founders shares to simplify the shareholder structure and minimize the administrative burden for the payment of dividends and liquidation boni. We also investigated the potential recoverability of withholding tax leveraged on dividends and interest received from a Taiwanese investment on the basis of a recent double tax treaty. The tax reclaim is currently under assessment. Liquidation of an investment fund with illiquid assets We liquidated a multi-compartment investment structure (Part II SICAV) with three sub-funds and a large portfolio of illiquid hedge fund investments. The divestment of the most illiquid securities was undertaken via a secondary market sale. A sales pack for each portfolio security was prepared to optimize sales proceeds and to limit the time to the closing of the transaction. Secondary market bidders were required to provide bids on a line by line basis as well as on a portfolio basis.

11 Liquidation of a fund of funds We were appointed liquidator to the voluntary liquidation of a fund of funds with an NAV of 630 million at the beginning of the liquidation. The shareholders had resolved that in liquidation we would continue hedging the various share classes and portfolio during the liquidation period. As many assets were illiquid, we entered into four different sales of sub-portfolios during the liquidation period. The liquidation process lasted about four years, but ultimately, investors received between 91 percent and 100 percent of the NAV at the beginning of the liquidation. Liquidation and PIK to shareholders We liquidated a specialized investment fund (SIF) with a 92.5 million securities portfolio of illiquid hedge funds, private equity investments (with uncalled capital commitments) and holdbacks. We distributed approximately 67 percent of the investment portfolio through payment in cash and in kind as a first advance on liquidation boni to the shareholders. We distributed a further 30 percent of the portfolio securities through a second payment in kind including private equity investments with open capital commitments and currency hedging contracts. The two advances of liquidation boni were completed within a four month period. Other special situations we have been dealing with Settling a Madoff-related clawback claim Filing the Aberdeen withholding tax reclaims with foreign tax authorities Asset tracing and recovery procedures Restructuring Our Fund Liquidation Desk: your team to manage stakeholders interests 11 / 12
