Results of Placing

Further to the announcement on 21 June 2011, CQS Diversified Fund Limited (the "Company") is pleased to announce the results of the placing for cash of new ordinary shares (the "Placing").

In aggregate, 7,961,216 new shares (the "Placing Shares"), representing 9.99 per cent. of the issued share capital, have been placed by RBS Hoare Govett Limited with new and existing investors, raising the equivalent of approximately GBP7.6 million of new monies (before expenses).

Pursuant to the Placing, the Company will issue:

-- 6,502,060 new Sterling Shares at a price of 102.5p; and

-- 1,459,156 new US$ Shares at a price of US$1.02.

The Placing Price in each case represents a premium to the estimated NAV as at 17 June 2011. After the costs of the Placing this is NAV per share accretive for existing Shareholders.

Each class of Placing Shares will be issued credited as fully paid and will rank pari passu in all respects with the Company's existing Shares of the same currency class. The Company will apply for admission of the Placing Shares to the premium listing segment of the Official List of the Financial Services Authority and to trading on the London Stock Exchange plc's Main Market for listed securities (together, "Admission"). Settlement of the Placing Shares and Admission will take place on 27 June 2011.

The net proceeds of the Placing will be all or substantially all invested in shares of CQS Diversified Fund (SPC) Limited in accordance with the Company's investment objective and policy. The Company anticipates that substantially all of the aggregate net proceeds of the Placing will be invested by 1 July 2011.

Accordingly, conditional on Admission, the Company's issued share capital with effect from 27 June 2011 will be as follows:

Sterling Shares: 71,587,746

US Dollar Shares: 16,065,332

All shareholders have equal voting rights based on the number of shares held. Accordingly, the total number of voting rights in the Company is 87,653,078 and this figure may be used by shareholders as the denominator for the calculations by which they will determine if they are required to notify their interest in, or a change to their interest in the Company under the FSA's Disclosure and Transparency Rules.

Terms used in this announcement shall, unless the context otherwise requires, bear the meanings given to them in the placing launch announcement of the Company dated 21 June 2011.
