THE offer by

FOR
SVM UK ACTIVE FUND PLC
IS NOW BEING MADE ON A MANDATORY BASIS AND IS EXTENDED
1. Introduction
Cyrun made a cash offer to acquire the entire issued and to be
issued share capital of SVM on 23 March 2011 at which point Cyrun
held 8,162,393 SVM Shares representing 25.7% of its issued share
capital.
The Board of Cyrun is pleased to announce that, following the
purchase of additional SVM Shares increasing Cyrun's holding to
over 30% of SVM's issued share capital, the cash offer by Cyrun to
acquire the entire issued and to be issued share capital of SVM not
already owned by Cyrun is now being made on a mandatory basis in
accordance with Rule 9 of the Takeover Code.
The Offer is extended and the next closing date is at 1.00pm on
20 May 2011.
There is no change to the terms of the Offer, which remains
conditional only on the total of SVM Shares held by Cyrun and
persons acting in concert with it and acceptances received
amounting to over 50% of SVM's issued share capital.
As at 1.00 pm on 6 May 2011 Cyrun had received valid acceptances
of the Offer in respect of 1,114,173 SVM Shares representing 3.5%
of SVM's issued share capital. As at 4.00pm today Cyrun holds
10,535,055 SVM Shares representing 33.2% of SVM's issued share
capital. There were no purchases of SVM Shares included in the
above acceptance figure between 1.00pm and 4.00 pm today. C Reid,
an employee of Fairfax who has a beneficial interest in 1,594 SVM
Shares (representing 0.005% of its issued share capital) is deemed
to be acting in concert with Cyrun. The total of the foregoing
shares and valid acceptances which count towards the acceptance
condition is therefore 11,650,822 SVM Shares representing 36.7% of
SVM's issued share capital.

otherwise made available by Cyrun in connection with the Offer is

2. Offer Price
The amount of cash consideration will be determined by reference
to a formula based on the net assets per SVM Share as at the date
the Offer becomes unconditional as to acceptances, subject to a
minimum of 191.2 pence per SVM Share.
This formula is referred to as the 'FAV' or 'Formula Asset
Value'. The calculation of the Formula Asset Value is described in
Appendix I of this document.
The Offer Price is:
For every SVM Share 94.25% of FAV, subject to a minimum of 191.2
pence, in cash
For illustrative purposes only, had the Calculation Date been 29
April 2011 (being the date of the most recent net asset value of a
SVM Share (calculated on a cum-income basis) published prior to the
publication of this Announcement):
-- 94.25% of FAV would have valued each SVM Share at
approximately 187.48p, however the improved minimum Offer Price
would have been 191.2p,
-- the Offer Price of 191.2p per SVM Share represents a premium
of approximately 12.5 per cent. to the Closing Price of 170p per
SVM Share on 15 March 2011 being the last dealing day prior to the
announcement of the possible offer for SVM;
-- the Offer Price of 191.2p per SVM Share represents a discount
of approximately 5.7 per cent. to the most recently announced net
asset value per SVM Share; and
-- the value of the entire issued share capital of SVM at the
Offer Price would have been approximately GBP60.74 million.
(the "Offer Illustration").
The FAV calculation for SVM is based on the net asset value per
SVM Share as at close of business on 29 April 2011 (being the date
of the most recent net asset value of a SVM Share published prior
to the publication of this Announcement), assumes bid defence and
other related costs of GBP0.6m and contract termination costs of
approximately GBP0.6m. These cost estimates may well be higher or
lower than the amounts actually incurred or due, in which case the
value of the Offer to SVM Shareholders would be greater or less.
The actual FAV will be based on figures calculated by SVM and
agreed with Cyrun.
The SVM Shares will be acquired by Cyrun, pursuant to the Offer,
fully paid and free from all liens, equities, charges,
encumbrances, rights of pre-emption and any other interest of any
nature whatsoever and together with all rights now or hereafter
attaching thereto, including voting rights and the right to receive
and retain in full all dividends and other distributions (if any)
made or paid on or after 17 March 2011.
The availability of the Offer to persons not resident in the
United Kingdom may be affected by the laws of the relevant
jurisdictions. Persons who are not resident in the United Kingdom
should inform themselves about and observe any applicable legal or
regulatory requirements.
3. Previous acceptors of the Offer
SVM Shareholders who have already accepted the Offer will obtain
the benefit of, and be deemed to have accepted, the mandatory
Offer. Such SVM Shareholders need take no further action (assuming
its Form(s) of Acceptance have been delivered valid and complete in
all respects), or, in the case of uncertificated holders, a valid
TTE message has been received.
4. Condition of the Offer
The Offer is conditional only on Cyrun having received (which
have not, where permitted, been withdrawn) by not later than 1.00
p.m. on 20 May 2011 (or such later time(s) and/or date(s) as Cyrun
may, subject to the rules of the Code, decide) valid acceptances in
respect of SVM Shares which, together with the SVM Shares acquired,
or agreed to be acquired, by Cyrun and any person acting in concert
with it, before or after the making of the Offer, will result in
Cyrun and persons acting in concert with it holding SVM Shares
carrying over 50% of the voting rights capable of being exercised
in general meetings of SVM.
