We purchased €7.5m of Prosieben revolving credit facility ("RCF") in January 2012 at a price of 82 to yield 10.22% to maturity. • The revolving credit facility is undrawn and we posted 100% collateral — the 10.2% includes the collateral P. The RCF is the first maturity in the capital structure maturing in July 2014 (30 months from purchase) ► Prosieben is the largest free to air broadcaster in Germany generating 2011 revenues and EBITDA of c. €2.75bn and €850m respectively P.

If the RCF is refinanced 9 months prior to maturity the IRR is 14.4%. ► If the company is sold earlier a change of control arises and the IRR will be higher P. All the debt instruments at Prosieben rank pad passu P. In conclusion, using conservative takeout assumptions we calculate a probability weighted average IRR of 13.5% on the RCF. By comparison the existing term loans at Prosieben yield c. 6% to a 4 year maturity 20 B A EFTA01114230 Cukurova ► We purchased $5m of l st lien loans issued by a subsidiary of the Cukurova Group AS on Jan 6th 2010 from JPMorgan at a price of 91 to yield 17.4%. ► Original size of loan was $1.5bn, due to amortizations there is c. $611m of the loan currently outstanding. ► The loan pays a coupon of L+800bp and matures in 3 installments on May 10 / May 11 / May 12. ► The loan is collateralised by: • $1.5bn held in cash by JPMorgan (security trustee) OR in the event current lawsuits get resolved, shares in a holding company of Turkcell worth $2.3bn Cukurova indirectly holds 13.75% of Turkcell —Turkcell has a market capitalization of $16.5bn — NB Turkcell has no net leverage (net cash of $1.4bn) which is unusual for a mobile operator. Net cash position heavily defends share price at lower levels Alfa Telecom originally lent Cukurova money against Turkcell shares. In an attempt to seize the Turkcell shares, Alfa Telecom called a default. JPMorgan raised this loan to refinance the Alfa loan, but Alfa stated they did not want to receive payment and instead demanded the shares their loan was secured on. While the dispute is ongoing the loan proceeds $1.5bn remains in escrow with JPMorgan in London • Cukurova corporate guarantee • Security interest in other non quoted assets of Cukurova — (worth $1-2bn per Cukurova estimates) • Personal guarantee from Mr Mehmet Karamehmet — Chairman of Cukurova and #224 in the Forbes list of wealthiest individuals in the world for 2009 (down from 29th in 2000) ► Recent developments: In April 2010, Mr Karamehmet was found guilty by a Turkish court of instructing a bank he owned in 2002 to make loans to one of his portfolio companies—JPMorgan believe this could be an event of default and are investigating. In an event of default lenders would have the possibility of early repayment from the collateral account • In May 2010, Cukurova announced that they would be repaying the facilities in full on May 25th 2010. • The IRR on this trade equated to 41% 21 B A EFTA01114231 Event Trades - Examples Event Rationale Trade Examples Early refinancing / retirement of Loans / bonds do not run to maturity Parmalat (detailed existing tranches CFO's often incentivized to "play it safe" description o✓erleaf) / Taylor Terming out amortizations with long term covenant lite debt attractive Wimpey / Sevan Capital structure considerations Sale of company Debt / parts of debt structure refinanced on sale Tommy Hilfiger / Cognis Acquisitions Debt structure may need to be refinanced to allow for game-changing acquisition IPO Debt / parts of debt structure refinanced on IPO Amadeus / InterXion IPO deleveraging leads to spread compression Public market valuation often leads to spread compression through validation of EV Amendments Fees paid on amendments enhance IRR Amadeus / Wind Covenant breaches / default Default may speed up recovery of par Petrojack Significant variance in forecast Market may not have done necessary in depth analysis Fage 22 B A EFTA01114232 Parmalat Canada Private Placement Notes ► Parmalat Canada is Canada's 2nd largest milk producer, 3'd largest yogurt producer and 1st largest butter producer ► Parmalat Canada is owned by Parmalat Italy • Parmalat Italy has net cash of €1.1bn and EBITDA of €365m ► Parmalat Canada never went insolvent at the time Parmalat Italy experienced its issues in 2003-2004 • Parmalat Canada has revenues and EBITDA of C$ 2.2 bn and CS 192m respectively ► Parmalat Canada has C$ 233m of 1st lien bank debt and C$ 65m of subordinated private placement notes ► Net leverage through the secured bank debt is 0.9x and through the private placement notes 1.3x ► The notes mature in 2010 and 2012 while the bank debt matures in 2011 • Coupon of 5% ► We purchased c. $9m of the private placement notes split between the 2010 tranche and the 2012 tranche at an average weighted price of 92 • Spread to maturity equated to c. 940bp ► Our rationale for purchasing the notes was based on the following 2 considerations: • The low leverage through the subordinated private placement notes • The bank debt maturity in 2011 — We did not expect the company to refinance its existing bank debt without refinancing all of the private placement notes — We did not expect the company to wait till 2011 to refinance its bank debt and estimated the company would refinance its bank debt in 2010 ► In the end all private placement notes were repaid on December 30th 2009 ► The IRR on this trade was in excess of 100% 23 B A EFTA01114233 Short term / Trade opportunities - Examples Description Opportunity Trade Examples Called paper Loans / bonds do not run to maturity Unity Media (detailed CFO's often incentivized to "play it safe" description overleaf) Terming out amortizations with long term covenant lite debt attractive Capital structure considerations 24 B A M EFTA01114234 UnityMedia FRN's ► Unity Media is a German cable TV company recently acquired by Liberty Media • Revenues and EBITDA of €920m and €430m respectively • Pre-acquisition the capital structure was comprised of l st lien leverage and total leverage of 2.2x and 4.5x, respectively • The 1st lien leverage was structured as Secured Floating Rate Notes (FRNs) with a rating of BB+ / Ba3 and a coupon of L+287.5bp ► Liberty Media announced the acquisition in November 2009 for €3.5bn and in the same week Unity Media raised €2.6bn of new high yield notes to pay for the purchase. The remaining €900m was funded by a new convertible bond issued by Liberty Media in November 2009 and cash on balance sheet. ► Pending EU/German approval of the transaction both the "old" and "new" debt of Unity Media were outstanding at the same time with the new debt held in escrow to be used to repay in full the old debt upon closing of the acquisition. • Regulatory approval could take anywhere from 2 months to 1 year depending on the exact type of regulatory review although there was little doubt that approval would ultimately be granted as Liberty Media has no other Cable/ TV assets in Germany • Upon transaction closing, all existing debt would be called at current call price (for the 1st lien FRNs this price was 100) ► On 25 January the EU announced that it had granted regulatory approval for the acquisition • Post announcement we were able to purchase €2.865m of the FRN's at 99.5. Given our assumption that the transaction would close in a matter of days (and the normal 30 day notice period for a call), our IRR on the trade equated to c. L+900 ► On 28 January (3 days after receiving regulatory approval), Liberty Media closed the acquisition and Unity Media simultaneously issued an irrevocable 30 day call notice for all their bonds (including the FRNs). • Post this irrevocable call we were able to purchase a further €2m at a price of 99.75. The IRR on this trade equates to L+600bp ► Given that (a) at the time we purchased the FRN's there were no barriers to the acquisition closing, and (b) the funds to repay the outstanding bonds were held in escrow — we viewed both trades as essentially "riskless" 25 B A EFTA01114235 APPENDIX 2 - THE OPPORTUNITY 26 B A M EFTA01114236 Attractive Non-Investment Grade Corporate Credit Market New Factors this Cycle Stressed Banking Sector CLO Market Weakness Increased capital equirements Smaller hold ositions Limited Securitization Market Forecast less than3% for 2012 Declining Default Rates Less Debt/More Equity Higher Cost Debt Slower Growth Lower Equity Valuations Attractive Opportunities in Non-Investment Grade Credit Market Amend and Extend Secured Bond Issues Booming Refinance Market High Unemploymen Higher taxes Budget deficits Lower Leverage Multiples IPOs Free Cash Flow Corporate Deleveraging Normal Credit Cycle Effects Weak Economic Recovery Sovereign Volatility Increased Equity Contribution Conservative New Issue Market Macro Factors this Cycle 27 B A EFTA01114237 APPENDIX 3 - POSITION OVERVIEW 28 B A M EFTA01114238 Position Overview — May 2012 ► The following table details each of our positions and key statistics Name Rank Net Leverage LTV YTM Expected Yield General Motors RCF Super Senior 0.0 x 0% 14.30% 18.25% Prosieben Opco RCF 1st lien 2.5 x 31% 8.50% 12.20% PetroSaudi 1st lien 0.8 x 30% 14.40% 16.30% Fage Senior Unsecured 4.1 x 50% 11.80% 16.00% Fage k Senior Unsecured 4.1 x 50% 18.00% 24.20% Numericable TL A UN 1st lien 5.2 x 75% 19.10% 23.10% Numericable TL A EX 1st lien 5.2 x 75% 14.20% 16.20% Numericable TL C 1st lien 5.2 x 75% 13.70% 16.10% Travelex Subordinated PIK Loan 1.8 x 18% 10.45% 16.20% Lowell 1st lien 2.2 x 52% 11.60% 14.95% Interxion 1st lien 1.6 x 16% 6.80% 5.50% AVG Technologies 1st lien 1.0 x 14% 8.40% 12.40% Global Rig 1st lien 3.8 x 55% 10.75% 11.70% BPA Laboratories 1st lien 2.8 x 35% 13.10% 15.40% Jasper 1st lien 4.0 x 75% 18.80% 24.80% Affinity 1st lien 5.1 x 75% 10.40% 11.16% Towergate 1st lien 3.8 x 40% 10.00% 16.50% Henderson Senior Unsecured 0.2 x 3% 6.30% 7.25% Reynolds 1st lien 3.3 x 40% 6.50% 6.00% Prosieben Holdco Holdco 1st lien 4.8 x 60% 9.70% 13.10% RDS 2nd lien 3.3 x 58% 9.60% 9.60% Polkomtel Senior Unsecured 3.9 x 68% 12.00% 13.55% Avio Mezzanine 4.0 x 44% 10.00% 14.00% Europcar 2nd lien 3.7 x 87% 11.70% 16.00% Clubcorp 2nd lien 4.6 x 60% 8.90% 9.40% Chloe Marine 2nd lien 5.3 x 73% 10.80% 12.00% Towergate Senior Unsecured 6.3 x 65% 12.90% 17.10% Matalan Senior Unsecured 4.8 x 80% 21.90% 28.80% weighted average 2.7 x 11.3% 14.2% • Portfolio is expected to earn an unleveraged IRR of c. 14.2% on a static basis • The positions that the portfolio is comprised of, have a weighted average leverage ratio of 2.7x net debt / EBITDA • 75% of the portfolio is invested in assets that sit at the top of the capital structure • EXPT position has been excluded 29 B A EFTA01114239 Important Notice & Disclaimers This document is being issued for information purposes only. This document does not constitute an offer to issue to buy or invest in the Fund(s). You should appreciate that the value of shares in the Fund(s), and any income from them, may go down as well as up and that investors may not receive back, on redemption of his shares, the amount invested. Past performance is not necessarily indicative of future performance. Where an investment involves a foreign currency, it may be subject to fluctuations in value due to movements in exchange rates. These changes to exchange rates may also cause the value of an underlying investment to go down as well as up. The shares are not dealt in on a recognized exchange or designated investment exchange for the purpose of the Financial Services and Markets Act 2000 of the United Kingdom (the "Act"), nor is there a market maker in the shares. It may therefore be difficult for the investor to dispose of his shares otherwise than by way of redemption or to obtain reliable information about the extent of the risks to which he is exposed. This document should not be considered as legal, tax or any other advice.

This document is issued both inside and outside the UK only to and/or directed at persons who are professional clients or eligible counterparties for the purposes of the FSA's Conduct of Business Sourcebook. You will only be able to invest after receiving a final prospectus and subscription document. Any decision to invest should be based on the final prospectus document and you should take independent legal advice if necessary. This document is exempt from the scheme promotion restriction (in section 238 of the Act) on the communication of invitations or inducements to participate in Unregulated Collective Investment Schemes on the grounds that it is being issued to and/or directed at only the types of persons referred to above.
