Conversion Notice 
 
 
The Company's Articles of Association incorporate provisions 
enabling shareholders of either class of shares to convert all or part of their 
holding into shares of the other class as at the last business day of March and 
September each year (each a 'Conversion Date'). 
 
 
Such conversion will be on the basis of the ratio of the last reported net asset 
value ("NAV") of the class of shares held to the last reported NAV of the class 
of shares into which they will be converted (each as at the relevant month-end 
NAV calculation date and otherwise as set out in the Company's articles of 
association. 
 
 
Shareholders may convert shares of either class into shares of the other class 
by giving not less than 10 business days notice to the Company in advance of the 
relevant Conversion Date. 
 
 
In the case of shares held in un-certificated form, the relevant USE 
instruction(s) must be submitted to Capita Registrars at least 10 business days 
before the relevant Conversion Date using the CREST information provided below:

To be valid the Conversion Notice and the appropriate share certificate must be 
received at the above address at least 10 business days before the relevant 
Conversion Date. 
 
 
The date on which conversion will take place will be determined by the directors 
but will not be more than 20 business days after the Conversion Date. 
 
 
In addition shareholders should note, however, that fractions of shares arising 
on conversions will be rounded down and hence the aggregate NAV of those shares 
held after conversion may be less than before such conversion. Shareholders 
should also note that if they elect to convert shares they will be unable to 
deal in those shares in the period between giving notice of conversion and the 
actual date of conversion. Such notice once given shall be irrevocable without 
the consent of the Directors. 
 
 
This notice is for information only. Any shareholder who is in any doubt whether 
or not to convert is recommended to contact an independent financial adviser. 
Full details of the conversion facility can be found in the company prospectus 
that may be obtained from the he Company's website www.hsbcabsolute.com.
