FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
9 February 2009
Close European Accelerated Fund Limited (the "Company")
In order to fulfil its investment objective, the Company purchased seven Debt
Securities, including one issued by Glitnir Banki HF and one issued by Kaupthing
Bank HF. These Debt Securities account for approximately 30 per cent of the
total nominal value of the Company's Debt Securities. In the event of a default
by an issuer of a Debt Security purchased by the Company, the Company will rank
as an unsecured creditor in respect of sums due from the issuer of such Debt
Security. In such event, the Company 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 Company and returns to Shareholders would be significantly
adversely affected.
Following the Icelandic authorities' decision to place both Glitnir Banki HF and
Kaupthing Bank HF in receivership, the Board of the Company considers it likely
that they may not pay in full on their obligations. Whilst recovery rates from
issuers that default vary, and in this case are currently unknown, the worst
case scenario would see the Company receive nothing from either institution at
the maturity of the relevant Debt Securities.
If the Dow Jones EuroStoxx 50 Index (the "Index") has closed down more than 50
per cent from its Start Value (i.e. below 1,651.49) on any Index Business Day
between the Start Date and the End Date then an Index Barrier Breach will have
occurred. In these circumstances, the amount which the Company will be required
to pay 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 Dow Jones EuroStoxx 50 Index as at 30 January
2009 was 2,236.98. If the Index closed at this level on the End Date and an
Index Barrier Breach has not occurred, the Final Capital Entitlement would be
100 pence subject to there being no counterparty default or any unforeseen
circumstances, and 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 Final Capital Entitlement would be
approximately 69.5 pence, and if the Index were to fall by approximately a
further 55 per cent to a level of approximately 1,002 as at the End Date, the
Final Capital Entitlement of the Shares would be zero.
Payoff Profile
The tables below illustrate how the Final Capital Entitlement of the Shares
might vary for different ending levels of the Dow Jones EuroStoxx 50 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.
