Participation Units Participation in the Strategy will be sub-divided

into standard participation units with a nominal

value of £1 each. The Strategy Manager may

issue additional units or cancel units as necessary

to facilitate contributions to or withdrawals from

the Strategy.

Valuation The Strategy will be valued on a mark to market

basis quarterly on the last calendar day of each

quarter. The Strategy Manager may at its absolute

discretion determine additional valuation points on

an ad-hoc basis.

The Strategy’s value will be determined by

deducting the total liabilities from the total assets of

the Strategy. The value of the assets and liabilities

of the Strategy will be determined in accordance

with CFML’s standard strategy valuation policy,

which is available on request and may be

published from time to time on CFML’s website.

Unit Pricing The net asset value per unit will be calculated by

dividing the net asset value of the Strategy by the

total number of units participating in the Strategy.

The Directors reserve the right to adjust the unit

price on any valuation date to reflect the

approximate true cost or value per unit

associated with any investment or redemption

from the strategy.

Publication of Unit Pricing

The unit price of the strategy will be available on

request from CFML. The unit price may also be

published on CFML’s website. CFML will

additionally endeavour to maintain pricing of the

strategy on Bloomberg.
