Close Fund Mngmt Portfolios II PCC

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

6 July 2011

Close Fund Management Portfolios II PCC Limited (the "Company")

- Japanese Accelerated Return Fund II (the "Cell")

In order to fulfil the investment objective for the Cell, the Company for the account of the Cell holds seven Debt Securities, including one issued by Glitnir Banki hf and one issued by Kaupthing Bank hf. These Debt Securities have a nominal value of GBP7,100,000 each and in aggregate account for approximately 30 per cent of the total nominal value of the Cell's Debt Securities. In the event of a default by an issuer of a Debt Security purchased by the Company on behalf of the Cell, the Cell will rank as an unsecured creditor in respect of sums due from the issuer of such Debt Security. In such event, the Cell may (in respect of that Debt Security) receive a lesser amount of money than the amount due pursuant to the terms of the Debt Security, may actually receive the money at a different time than would otherwise have been the case and the amount received may be zero. Any losses will be borne by the Cell and returns to Shareholders would be significantly adversely affected.

The Winding-Up Boards for Glitnir Banki hf and Kaupthing Bank hf asked all parties claiming debts of any sort or other rights to submit claims by 26 November 2009 and 30 December 2009 respectively. Consequently the Company on behalf of the Cell submitted claims to each of Glitnir Banki hf and Kaupthing Bank hf for GBP12,780,000 in respect of each one of these Debt Securities, such amounts being equal to the maximum redemption proceeds of GBP1.80 per GBP1 nominal. The Winding-Up Committee of Kaupthing Bank hf has written to the Company to advise it accepts ISK 1,356,668,000 of the claim (approximately equivalent to GBP7.4 million as at 30 June 2011). The Winding-Up Board of Glitnir Banki hf has postponed a decision on the Company's claim until 31 August 2011.

Shareholders should be aware that it is likely that Kaupthing Bank hf may not pay the Company on account of the Cell the full ISK 1,356,668,000 or, indeed, anything at all and that Glitnir Banki hf may not pay the Company on account of the Cell the full amount claimed or anything at all. Whilst recovery rates from issuers that default vary, and in this case are currently unknown, the worst case scenario would see the Cell receive nothing from either institution at the maturity of the relevant Debt Securities. The amounts claimed or accepted should not be considered forecasts of the amounts which will be due from Kaupthing Bank hf or Glitnir Banki hf on the maturity of the relevant Debt Securities, nor are they a reflection of the net asset value per Cell Share. The redemption proceeds per Cell Share per the Company's investment objective for the Cell will not be known until after the end of the life of the Cell when the closing value of the Nikkei 225 Index (the "Index") on the End Date is known and may not be the amounts claimed or accepted.

Any claims which are paid may be paid before or after the end of the life of the Cell and in the case of early payment it may not be possible to reinvest the proceeds in Debt securities which replicate the investment characteristics of the original Debt Securities. Any claims which are paid may be paid in currencies other than Sterling and/or in forms other than cash. Any payments received by the Company on account of the Cell may therefore be subject to currency fluctuations and/or other market movements.

As the Index has closed down more than 50 per cent from its Start Value (i.e. below 7,978.79) on an Index Business Day between the Start Date and the End Date, an Index Barrier Breach has occurred. In these circumstances, the amount which the Company for the account of the Cell will be required to pay on behalf of the Cell following the Index Barrier Breach will reduce its assets by an amount which reflects the decline, if any, in the Index between the Start Date and the End Date.

The official closing level of the Index as at 30 June 2011 was 9,816.09 . If the Index closed at this level on the End Date, the redemption proceeds would be approximately 61 pence subject to there being no counterparty default or any unforeseen circumstances. In the event of both Glitnir Banki hf and Kaupthing Bank hf defaulting and having a zero recovery rate and there being no insolvency of any other issuer of Debt Securities held by the Company or any other event of default or any unforeseen circumstances, the redemption proceeds would be approximately 31 pence. If the Index were to fall by approximately a further 50.60 per cent to a level of approximately 4,852.19 as at the End Date, the redemption proceeds of the Shares would be zero.

Payoff Profile

The tables below illustrate how the redemption proceeds of the Shares might vary for different ending levels of the Index (1) subject to there being no counterparty default or any unforeseen circumstances, and (2) on the assumption of zero recovery in the event of default of the Debt Securities issued by Glitnir Banki hf and Kaupthing Bank hf and there being no insolvency of any other issuer of Debt Securities held by the Company or any other event of default or any unforeseen circumstances
