The maximum allowable gearing is 500 per cent. of the net asset value of the Company and its subsidiaries on a consolidated basis. Where investment is made into CLOs that are not considered subsidiaries of the Company, the borrowings of such CLOs will not be accounted for in the Company’s consolidated Statement of Financial Position and such gearing shall not be taken into account in calculating the maximum allowable gearing of the Company. To manage the risk of such additional gearing the Company may only invest a maximum of 50 per cent. of the Company’s consolidated net asset value at the time of investment in CLOs that are not considered subsidiaries of the Company for accounting purposes. It is expected that the portfolio will be at least 90 per cent. invested in most market conditions, although the Company may maintain larger cash weightings from time to time, to protect capital returns or pending identification of appropriate investment opportunities. The Company may enter into derivative transactions for the purpose of efficient portfolio management hedging (for example, interest rate, currency, or market exposure). Any material change to the investment policy would require Shareholder approval in accordance with the AIM Rules. In the event of any breach of the investment restrictions applicable to the Company, Shareholders will be informed of the remedial actions to be taken by the Company’s Board and the Investment Manager by an announcement issued through a Regulatory Information Service. 3 Greenwich Loan Income Fund Limited FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2010
