Close Enhanced Commodities Fund II Limited (the "Company")
The investment objective of the Company is to provide to shareholders, on the Redemption Date in June 2013, a capital amount of 100 pence per Share and a growth amount equal to two times any percentage increase in the End Value* of the Commodity Portfolio relative to its Start Value. There are currently 45,250,000 Shares in issue.
The Commodity Portfolio is a notional portfolio of commodities comprising by value on the Start Date, being 31 May 2007, one-eighth of each of oil, copper, aluminium, zinc, nickel, sugar, corn and wheat.
Based on the values of the commodities as at 30 March 2012, and assuming these values were to remain unchanged through to the end of the life of the Company, the redemption proceeds per Share on the Redemption Date would be 154 pence╬. This is not a forecast nor is it a reflection of the net asset value per Share and takes no account of any unforeseen circumstances and is provided for informational purposes only and should not be relied upon for investment decisions.
