SUMMARY

THE FOLLOWING SUMMARY IS EXTRACTED FROM, AND SHOULD BE READ AS ANINTRODUCTION TO AND IN CONJUNCTION WITH, THE FULL TEXT OF THISDOCUMENT. ANY DECISION TO INVEST IN THE COMPANY SHOULD BE BASED ONCONSIDERATION OF THIS DOCUMENT AS A WHOLE BY THE PROSPECTIVE INVESTOR.

Following the implementation of the relevant provisions of the Prospectus Directive of the EuropeanParliament and Council (Directive 2003/71/EC) in each member state of the European Economic Area(‘‘EEA’’), civil liability attaches to those persons responsible for the summary, including any translationof the summary, but only if the summary is misleading, inaccurate or inconsistent when read togetherwith the other parts of this document. Where a claim relating to the information contained in thisdocument is brought before a court, the plaintiff investor might, under the national legislation of an EEAState, have to bear the costs of translating this document before legal proceedings are initiated.

The Company and the Master Fund

The Company is a newly formed, Guernsey incorporated, closed-ended investment company. TheCompany is a feeder fund and will invest the Available Net Proceeds of the Issue in the Master Fundpursuant to the Commitment Letter. As a result, the Company’s financial performance will dependalmost entirely on the performance of its investment in the Master Fund.

The Company’s investment objective is to provide Shareholders, through its investment in the MasterFund, with regular dividends and an attractive total return whilst limiting downside risk to capital,through exposure to European commercial real estate debt.

The Master Fund is structured as an exempted limited partnership registered in the Cayman Islands. TheMaster Fund was established on 2 January 2009 and has raised a total of £117.4 million of commitments.The Master Fund commenced operations on 22 December 2009, being the date of the first drawdown.The Master Fund is seeking to raise commitments of up to £300 million. This amount may increase at thediscretion of the General Partner. In addition to the Issue, the Master Fund is anticipating a final closeprior to 22 June 2011.

The Master Fund will make new loans as well as buying existing loans and bonds collateralised byEuropean commercial real estate. Investments are in debt instruments which benefit from the protectionof being a secured loan or bond. These Investments are intended to be held for the medium to long termwith a view to realising interest income and possible long term gain.

The Master Fund has made six investments since it commenced operations totalling approximately£60 million, of which one has been realised at a profit of £1.1 million, representing an IRR in respect ofthat investment of 23.9 per cent.

Returns and distribution policy

The Master Fund is targeting a Gross IRR of 15 per cent or greater per annum, with a cash incomecomponent that provides for a net distribution to Limited Partners in excess of 7 per cent per annum. Thecash income component reflects the anticipated cash coupon that the Master Fund expects to receive onits investments once fully invested, and will be distributed to Limited Partners (including the Company)net of expenses and management fees.

The returns to investors in the Company will be dependent on the ability of the Master Fund to achieveits target return and the period over which the funds available to the Master Fund for investment(including the Available Net Proceeds) are deployed.

The Company will have exposure to the Master Fund’s existing portfolio and the Company expects to paya dividend in July 2011 representing a yield of 3-4 per cent1 based on the Offer Price.

Once the Master Fund’s capital has been fully invested, which is expected within 12 months of Admission,the Company will target dividend payments to Shareholders of 7 per cent per annum on each OrdinaryShare (by reference to the Offer Price).

1 Annualised, assuming total Master Fund commitments from Limited Partners of £300 million

Investment opportunity

Disruption in the financial markets, coupled with a changing regulatory framework, has significantlyrestricted the availability of debt for financing commercial real estate across Europe. The key factorsdriving this have been:

. excessive levels of debt on lending banks’ balance sheets built up over the last decade, leading to thebanks’ desire to deleverage their balance sheets;

. falling property values resulting in increased LTV ratios;

. the requirements on banks to maintain greater amounts of regulatory capital as a result of the BaselII and Basel III accords, making it more expensive for a bank to make loans that are above a 60 to65 per cent LTV ratio and thereby restricting the amount of debt that banks will provide against anasset; and

. the lack of liquidity from other financing sources such as CMBS.

In addition, approximately half of the A960 billion1 of debt backed by European commercial real estate isexpected to require refinancing in the next three years. The banks have already signalled to the markettheir intention to shrink their balance sheets as an alternative to refinancing, thereby creating a debtfunding gap in the market.

Given this capital-constrained market place and the wall of maturities over the next few years, non-bankproviders of debt finance have the potential to generate significantly higher returns than previouslyavailable. The Investment Adviser therefore believes that the risk adjusted returns currently available toproviders of debt finance in the commercial real estate sector present an attractive investmentopportunity. Furthermore, the Investment Adviser believes that the Master Fund’s approach of primarilyproviding mezzanine finance backed by high quality assets with a strong tenant base represents the bestrisk adjusted approach to capitalising on this opportunity. The high cash paid coupon of the investmentsalso generates an attractive income profile.

Directors

The Directors of the Company are Quentin Burgess, John Falla and David Staples, all of whom arenon-executive directors. The Directors will meet on a regular basis in Guernsey to review and assess theinvestment policy and performance of the Company and generally to supervise the conduct of its affairs.

The Investment Adviser

The Investment Adviser is part of the Duet Group. The Duet Group is an alternative asset and wealthmanagement firm, focusing on Asset Management and Private Equity. The Duet Group is dedicated notonly to generating superior investment returns but also risk management, transparency and client serviceas required for institutional investors. Total assets under management stands at US$2.4bn as of31 December 2010.

Company costs

The administrative costs of the Company are estimated to be approximately £320,000 per annum.

Master Fund fees

From the Initial Closing Date to the end of the Investment Period, the Investment Adviser will receive anannual Advisory Fee in relation to the Company’s Interest of 1.5 per cent (plus VAT if applicable) perannum of the Company’s Commitment. After the end of the Investment Period, the Advisory Fee inrelation to the Company’s Interest shall be 1.5 per cent (plus VAT if applicable) per annum of suchproportion of the total acquisition cost of all Investments which remain unrealised at the start of therelevant quarter and which have not been written off as is equal to the proportion that the Company’sInterest bears to the aggregate Interests of all the Limited Partners.

The Special Limited Investor will be entitled to a total of 20 per cent of the proceeds of the Master Fundthat are available for distribution, subject to Limited Partners first receiving an amount equal to theircapital and the Preferred Return on the amounts drawn down from them respectively.

The Placing and Offer for Subscription and investment in the Master Fund

The Company is seeking to raise approximately £100 million (before expenses) through the Placing andOffer for Subscription. The Issue is not being underwritten and will not proceed if the net proceeds of theIssue would be less than the Minimum Net Proceeds.

In the event that the net proceeds of the Issue would be less than the Minimum Net Proceeds, theCompany could only proceed with the Issue if it published a supplementary prospectus that waived thecondition to raise the Minimum Net Proceeds. The estimated initial NAV per Ordinary Share is expectedto be approximately 98 pence.

The initial expenses of the Company are those which are necessary for the Issue and will be borne by theCompany. Should the amount of such expenses, the Subscription Premium payable by the Company inrespect of its Commitment and the amount of any working capital retained by the Company from theproceeds of the Issue, exceed an amount equal to 2 per cent of the gross Issue proceeds, the InvestmentAdviser has agreed to reimburse the Company and/or meet its expenses such that the Available NetProceeds which will be committed to be invested by the Company in the Master Fund pursuant to theCommitment Letter will not be less than 98 per cent of the amount of the gross Issue proceeds.Consequently, if the gross Issue proceeds are £100 million, the Company will commit to invest at least£98 million in the Master Fund.

Application will be made for the Ordinary Shares to be admitted to the premium listing segment of theOfficial List and to trading on the Main Market of the London Stock Exchange. It is expected thatAdmission will become effective and that dealings in the Ordinary Shares will commence at 8.00 a.m. on14 March 2011.

If inany doubt, prospective investors should immediately seek their own personal financial advice from theirindependent professional adviser authorised under FSMA who specialises in advising on the acquisitionof shares and other securities or other advisers such as legal advisers and accountants.

In such circumstances, the trading price of the Ordinary Shares could decline andinvestors may lose all or part of their investment. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently knownmay also have an adverse effect on the Company and on the Master Fund.

The Directors believe that the risks described below are the material risks relating to the OrdinaryShares, the Company, the Master Fund and its industry at the date of this document. Additional risksand uncertainties not currently known to the Directors, or that the Directors deem to be immaterial atthe date of this document, may also have an adverse effect on the performance of the Company and thevalue of the Ordinary Shares. Potential investors should review this document carefully and in itsentirety and consult with their professional advisers before making an application to invest in theOrdinary Shares.

A. Risks relating to the Company

The Company is a newly-formed company with no separate operating history

The Company was incorporated as a Guernsey closed-ended investment company on 7 January 2011 andhas not yet commenced operations. The Company does not have any historical financial statements orother meaningful operating or financial data on which potential investors may base an evaluation. Anyinvestment in the Ordinary Shares is therefore subject to all of the risks and uncertainties associated withany new business, including the risk that the Company will not achieve its investment objectives and thatthe value of any investment made by the Company could decline substantially.

The Ordinary Shares have never been publicly traded on the London Stock Exchange. Even if theCompany is successful in listing the Ordinary Shares, an active and liquid trading market for theOrdinary Shares may not develop

The Company has applied to admit the Ordinary Shares to trading on the Main Market of the LondonStock Exchange. Even if the Ordinary Shares are admitted to trading, the Company cannot predict theextent to which investor interest will lead to the development of an active and liquid trading market forthe Ordinary Shares or, if such a market develops, whether it will be maintained. In addition, a substantialamount of Ordinary Shares may be issued to a limited number of investors, which could adversely affectthe development of an active and liquid market for the Ordinary Shares.

The Company cannot predict the effect on the price of the Ordinary Shares if a liquid and active tradingmarket for the Ordinary Shares does not develop. In addition, if such a market does not develop,relatively small sales may have a significant negative impact on the price of the Ordinary Shares whilstsales of a significant number of Ordinary Shares may be difficult to execute at a stable price.

The Company’s and the Master Fund’s targeted returns (as set out in this document) are based onestimates and assumptions that are inherently subject to significant business and economic uncertaintiesand contingencies, and the actual rate of return may be materially lower than the targeted returns

The Company’s targeted returns and the Master Fund’s targeted returns set out in this document aretargets only and are based on estimates and assumptions about a variety of factors including, withoutlimitation, asset mix, value, volatility, holding periods, performance of the Investments, investmentliquidity, changes in current market conditions, interest rates, government regulations or other policies,the worldwide economic environment, changes in law and taxation, natural disasters, terrorism, socialunrest and civil disturbances or the occurrence of risks described elsewhere in this document, which areinherently subject to significant business, economic and market uncertainties and contingencies, all ofwhich are beyond the Company’s and the Master Fund’s control and which may adversely affect the

8

Page 10: DUET REAL ESTATE FINANCE LIMITED - RNS Submit · Oriel Securities Limited Sole Sponsor, Financial Adviser and Bookrunner Prospectus 18 February 2011 DUET REAL ESTATE FINANCE LIMITED

Company’s and the Master Fund’s ability to achieve their respective targeted returns. The Company andthe Master Fund may not be able to implement their respective investment policies and strategies in amanner that generates returns in line with the targets. Furthermore, the targeted returns are based on themarket conditions and the economic environment at the time of assessing the targeted returns, and aretherefore subject to change. There is no guarantee that actual returns can be achieved at or near thelevels set out in this document. Accordingly, the actual rate of return achieved may be materially lowerthan the targeted returns, or may result in a loss, which could have a material adverse effect on theCompany’s profitability, NAV and the price of the Ordinary Shares.

Potential investors should not place any reliance on the targeted returns set out in this document andshould make their own determination as to whether the targeted returns are reasonable or achievable indeciding whether to invest in the Company. The Company does not intend to regularly publish or toupdate or otherwise revise its targeted returns to reflect subsequent events or circumstances.

Dividends

Similarly, there can be no assurance as to the level and/or payment of future dividends by the Company.The declaration, payment and amount of any future dividends by the Company are subject to thediscretion of the Directors and will depend upon, among other things, the performance of the MasterFund, the ability of the Master Fund to make further Investments, distributions made by the Master Fundand the size of any such distributions as well as the Company’s financial position and cash requirementsand the ability of the Company to comply with the applicable legal requirements for paying dividends,including the statutory solvency test under Guernsey law.

Changes in laws or regulations, and the costs associated with complying with relevant laws andregulations, may adversely affect the Company’s business, the Investments and the results of itsoperations

The Company, the Master Fund and the Investment Adviser are subject to laws and regulations enactedby national, regional and local governments and institutions. In particular, the Company will be requiredto comply with certain statutory requirements that are applicable to a Guernsey company and the ListingRules and the Disclosure and Transparency Rules. Compliance with, and monitoring of, applicable lawsand regulations may be difficult, time-consuming and costly. These laws and regulations and theirrespective interpretation and application may also change from time to time and those changes couldhave a material adverse effect on the Investments.

B. Risks relating to the Ordinary Shares and Shareholders

The price of Ordinary Shares may fluctuate significantly and potential investors could lose all or part oftheir investment

The Offer Price is fixed but, as there has not been a market for the Ordinary Shares, this may not beindicative of their market price. The market price of Ordinary Shares may fluctuate significantly andpotential investors may not be able to resell their Ordinary Shares at or above the price at which theypurchased them. The following factors may cause the price of the Ordinary Shares to vary:

. changes in the Company’s financial performance and prospects or in the financial performance andprospects of companies engaged in businesses that are similar to the Company’s business;

. changes in the underlying values of the Investments;

. the termination of the Master Fund Investment Advisory Agreement or the Company InvestmentAdvisory Agreement and the departure of some or all of the Investment Adviser’s key personnel;

. changes in laws or regulations, including tax laws, or new interpretations or applications of laws andregulations that are applicable to the Company and/or the Master Fund;

. general economic trends and other external factors, including a rise in interest rates or rates ofinflation, or an increase in the market’s expectation of such rises;

. sales of Ordinary Shares by Shareholders; and

. speculation in the press or investment community regarding the business of the Company or theMaster Fund or the Investments.

Securities markets in general have experienced extreme volatility that has often been unrelated to theoperating performance of particular companies. Any broad market fluctuations may adversely affect the

9

Page 11: DUET REAL ESTATE FINANCE LIMITED - RNS Submit · Oriel Securities Limited Sole Sponsor, Financial Adviser and Bookrunner Prospectus 18 February 2011 DUET REAL ESTATE FINANCE LIMITED

trading price of the Ordinary Shares. Investors should be aware that the price of the Ordinary Shares andthe income from them can go down as well as up.

The Ordinary Shares may trade at a discount to Net Asset Value

The Ordinary Shares may trade at a discount to Net Asset Value for a variety of reasons, including due tomarket conditions, liquidity concerns or the actual or expected performance of the Master Fund.

The rights of Shareholders and the fiduciary duties owed by the Board of Directors to the Company willbe governed by Guernsey law and the Articles of Incorporation and may differ from the rights and dutiesowed to companies under the laws of other jurisdictions

The Company has been formed under the laws of Guernsey. The rights of its Shareholders and thefiduciary duties that its Board of Directors owes to the Company and the Shareholders are governed byGuernsey law and the Articles of Incorporation. These may differ from the rights and duties owed tocompanies and shareholders under the laws of other jurisdictions.

Local laws or regulations may mean that the status of the Company, or the Ordinary Shares, is uncertainor subject to change, which could adversely affect investors’ ability to hold Ordinary Shares

For regulatory and tax purposes, the status of the Company and the Ordinary Shares may be different indifferent jurisdictions. For instance, in certain jurisdictions and for certain purposes, the Ordinary Sharesmay be treated as units in a collective investment scheme. Furthermore, in certain jurisdictions, theregulatory and tax status of the Company and/or the Ordinary Shares may be uncertain or subject tochange, or it may differ depending on the availability of certain information or as a result of disclosuresmade by the Company. Changes in the status or treatment of the Company or the Ordinary Shares forregulatory and/or tax purposes may have unforeseen effects on the ability of investors to hold OrdinaryShares or the consequences to investors of doing so.

C. Risks relating to the Company’s investment in the Master Fund

Past performance of the Master Fund should not be taken as an indication of future performance

This document contains certain historical financial and other information concerning the Master Fund’spast performance. However, past performance of the Master Fund should not be taken as an indication ofthe Master Fund’s future performance or, by extension, that of the Company.

The Company will not be able to participate in the investment decisions of the Master Fund, in which itwill have committed to invest substantially all of its capital

The Company will commit to invest substantially all of its capital in the Master Fund. The Companyexpects that its only substantial asset will be its investment in the Master Fund. The Company (incommon with other Limited Partners) will not have a right to participate in the investment decisions ofthe Master Fund and the Master Fund may make investment decisions with which the Companydisagrees. However, all Investments will comply with the Master Fund’s investment policy.

It may not be possible for the Company to dispose of its Interest if it wished to do so

An Interest may be transferred only with the consent of the General Partner. The General Partner maywithhold its consent in its absolute discretion. Even if the General Partner were to consent to the disposalof all or part of the Company’s Interest, there may be no willing buyer for that Interest at a price that isacceptable to the Company or at all. It may therefore not be possible for the Company to dispose of itsInterest if it wished to do so.

D. Risks associated with the Investments

Achieving the investment objective

The success of the Master Fund depends on the Investment Adviser’s ability to identify, make and realiseinvestments in accordance with the Master Fund’s investment objective. There can be no assurance thatthe Investment Adviser will be able to do so or that the Master Fund will be able to invest in assets onattractive terms or generate any investment returns.

10

Page 12: DUET REAL ESTATE FINANCE LIMITED - RNS Submit · Oriel Securities Limited Sole Sponsor, Financial Adviser and Bookrunner Prospectus 18 February 2011 DUET REAL ESTATE FINANCE LIMITED

Investment by the Master Fund

There is no guarantee that the Master Fund will be able to invest fully the total amount of commitments ithas received, or that suitable investments will be or can be made, or that any Investments will besuccessful.

Value of Investments

The value of an Investment can go down as well as up and, as a result, a Limited Partner (including theCompany) may lose some or all of their commitments or the value of their investment.

Availability of appropriate assets

The Directors and the Investment Adviser believe that there is substantial demand for financing of thetype provided and intended to be provided by the Master Fund. However, there is no guarantee that suchdemand will result in sufficient investments being made in a timely manner, or at all, by the Master Fundto allow the Master Fund to deliver the targeted returns for Limited Partners, including the Company. Inparticular, there is no guarantee that the potential pipeline investments described in Part 5 will be madeor, if they are, upon what terms. When the availability of appropriate assets is lower than expected, it islikely that the Master Fund will take longer than expected to identify appropriate assets and to drawdown capital from its Limited Partners. In such circumstances, the Company will continue to hold cashwhich will generate a much lower return than the targeted returns referred to in this document.

Competitors may enter the market

The business in which the Master Fund is engaged may become more competitive. In such circumstances,there may be increased competition for investments of the nature targeted by the Master Fund and thereturns available on such investments may be negatively impacted. This may impact negatively upon theability of the Company and the Master Fund to achieve their respective objectives and to generate theirrespective targeted returns.

Currency risk

The Investments will predominantly be in Euros and Pounds Sterling although Investments may also bemade in other European currencies. The Master Fund will maintain its books in Pounds Sterling andthere could be material movements in the exchange rate between Pounds Sterling and the currency inwhich certain investments are made. As a result, the value of Investments may go up or down solely as aresult of changes in currency exchange rates.

Interest rate risk

Changes in interest rates may adversely affect the Investments. Interest rates are highly sensitive to manyfactors, including governmental, monetary and tax policies, domestic and international economic andpolitical considerations, fiscal deficits, trade surpluses or deficits, regulatory requirements and otherfactors beyond the control of the Master Fund.

The Master Fund has indemnified the Investment Adviser

The Master Fund has indemnified the Investment Adviser and its Associates, agents and their respectivepersonnel and members of the Advisory Committee against claims, liabilities, costs and expenses incurredby them by reason of their activities on behalf of the Master Fund, subject to certain exclusions. Suchindemnification, if relied upon, may affect the financial performance of the Master Fund and the returnsgenerated for Limited Partners.

Force majeure

The performance of the Investments may be affected by reason of events such as war, civil war, riot orarmed conflict, terrorism, acts of sabotage and natural disasters such as storms, earthquakes, tidal waves,floods, lightning, explosions, fires and destruction of plant, machinery and/or premises, which are outsideits control.

E. Risks relating to the Investment Adviser

The Investment Adviser’s experience

The past performance of investments managed or proposed by the Investment Adviser is not necessarilya guide to the future performance of the Investments of the Master Fund and there is no guarantee that

11

Page 13: DUET REAL ESTATE FINANCE LIMITED - RNS Submit · Oriel Securities Limited Sole Sponsor, Financial Adviser and Bookrunner Prospectus 18 February 2011 DUET REAL ESTATE FINANCE LIMITED

the performance of the Master Fund itself and/or the Investments will be similar to that of any of theinvestments historically managed or proposed by the Investment Adviser. The charging of an investmentmanagement fee and other fees, taxes and Carried Interest will affect the returns of the Master Fund.

The Investment Adviser is dependent upon the expertise of key personnel in providing investmentadvisory services to the Company and the Master Fund

The ability of the Master Fund to achieve its investment objective is significantly dependent upon theexpertise of the Investment Adviser’s dedicated investment team and the ability of the InvestmentAdviser to attract and retain suitable staff. The impact of the departure, for any reason, of a KeyIndividual on the ability of the Investment Adviser to achieve the investment objective of the MasterFund cannot be determined and may depend on, amongst other things, the ability of the InvestmentAdviser to recruit other individuals of similar experience and credibility. A failure by the InvestmentAdviser to recruit suitable individuals to replace any Key Individual who leaves the Investment Advisermay impact negatively on the performance of the Investment Adviser and, therefore, of the Master Fundand the Company.

Failure by the Investment Adviser or other third-party service providers of the Company and/or theMaster Fund to carry out its or their obligations could materially disrupt the business of the Companyand/or of the Master Fund

Neither the Company nor the Master Fund has any employees and the Directors of the Company have allbeen appointed on a non-executive basis. Both the Company and the Master Fund rely on theperformance of third-party service providers. In particular, the Investment Adviser and theAdministrator will perform services that are integral to the operations and financial performance ofthe Company and the Master Fund. Failure by any service provider to carry out its obligations to theCompany and/or to the Master Fund in accordance with the terms of its appointment, or to perform itsobligations to the Company and/or to the Master Fund at all, could have a materially adverse effect onthe Company’s performance and returns to Shareholders.

F. Risks in relation to investments in commercial real estate

The Master Fund is exposed to the commercial real estate market

As the underlying security for Investments is commercial real estate assets, the Master Fund is exposed toany further downturn in the commercial real estate market. The commercial real estate market is cyclicalin nature and relates to the condition of the economy as a whole. Deteriorating economic conditionsadversely affect the value of real estate assets. In addition, negative economic conditions have also had,and may continue to have, a material adverse effect on rental revenues and therefore the ability ofcounterparties to service any payments due to the Master Fund pursuant to the Investments.

The commercial real estate markets have recently been adversely impacted by the ongoing globalbanking crisis, with real estate values, including the value of commercial real estate, demonstratingsubstantial declines. The value of commercial real estate may reduce further, and those reductions couldbe substantial. Declines in the performance of the UK and other European economies could have anegative impact on consumer spending, levels of employment, rental revenues and vacancy rates, andcould as a result have a material adverse effect on the Master Fund and the Company’s business andfinancial condition.

A major occupier or tenant could default and/or seek to renegotiate terms during the course of a tenancy

The entities to which the Master Fund advances loans may be significantly exposed to the factors thataffect the corporate and retail environment generally. A significant decline in overall tenant revenues orthe insolvency of multiple significant individual tenants, or a substantial number of smaller tenants, wouldmaterially decrease that entity’s revenues and available cash to service such loans, and also materiallylower the value of the underlying real estate asset.

Real estate valuation is inherently subjective and uncertain

The valuation of real estate and therefore the valuation of any underlying security relating to Investmentsis inherently subjective due to, among other factors, the individual nature of each property, its locationand the expected future rental revenues from that particular property. As a result, the valuations of thereal estate assets underlying the Investments, which will account for the vast majority of the MasterFund’s assets, are subject to a degree of uncertainty and are made on the basis of assumptions which may

12

Page 14: DUET REAL ESTATE FINANCE LIMITED - RNS Submit · Oriel Securities Limited Sole Sponsor, Financial Adviser and Bookrunner Prospectus 18 February 2011 DUET REAL ESTATE FINANCE LIMITED

not prove to be accurate, particularly in periods of volatility or low transaction flow in the commercialreal estate market, as has recently been the case.

In addition, any valuations relied on by the Investment Adviser will reflect the position only at their date,and market volatility since the date of any such valuations and over the longer term may cause significantdeclines in the value of the real estate. Assessing real estate valuations is inherently more uncertain incurrent market conditions as there is a more limited number of comparable transactions against which toassess the value of particular real estate assets.

The value of underlying real estate and the rental income it produces may fluctuate as a result of factorswhich are outside the Company’s control

Rental levels and market values of real estate in the UK and continental Europe are generally affected byoverall conditions in the economy, political factors and one-off events, such as the condition of thefinancial markets, the availability of finance to businesses and consumers, the effectiveness of fiscal andmonetary policies in stabilising economic conditions, changes in government legislation, politicaldevelopments including changes in regulatory or tax regimes, increases in unemployment and relateddeclines in consumer spending, an oversupply of, or a reduction in demand for, retail space or consumergoods, infrastructure quality, financial performance and the productivity of industries located in thesecountries, relocations or insolvency of tenant businesses and armed conflicts or terrorist attacks.

Certain types of these risks (for example, risk of armed conflicts or terrorist acts, certain natural disastersor weather catastrophes, such as flooding, as well as certain ‘‘acts of god’’) may in the future becomeuninsurable or not economically insurable. However, the Investment Adviser does not intend that theMaster Fund will make Investments in relation to which the underlying real estate assets are not insurableon economic terms.

The UK and European commercial real estate markets are also affected by a number of other factorswhich may significantly impact the value of commercial real estate investments. These factors include, butare not limited to, interest rates and credit spreads, levels of prevailing inflation, the global and nationalavailability of financing for businesses and consumers, the returns from alternative investments ascompared to real estate and changes in planning, commercial lease and tax laws and practices. Inparticular, commercial real estate values are dependent on current rental values and occupancy rates,prospective rental growth, lease lengths, tenant creditworthiness and solvency and investment yieldstogether with the nature, location and physical condition of the real estate concerned.

The ability of a commercial borrower to repay a mortgage loan may be affected by many factors, such asthe success of tenant businesses, property management decisions, changes in laws that increase operatingexpense or limit rents that may be charged, declines in regional or local real estate values or occupancyrates, increases in interest rates, real estate tax rates and other operating expenses, increases inunemployment, increase in leverage as a percentage of property values and increases in the percentage ofincome that borrowers must use to service their mortgages.

G. Risks relating to investing in subordinated/mezzanine securities

Investments are typically subordinated and can be susceptible to losses

Investments may consist of interests and/or economic exposures with limited recourse that aresubordinated in right of payment and ranked junior to other obligations that are secured by or representownership in the same asset or pool of assets. In the event of default by an issuer in relation to suchInvestments, holders of the issuer’s more senior obligations will be entitled to payments in priority to theMaster Fund. Some of the Investments may also have structural features that divert payments of interestand/or principal to more senior classes of obligations secured by or representing ownership in the sameasset or pool of assets when the delinquency or loss experience of the pool exceeds certain levels. Thismay lead to interruptions in the income stream that the Master Fund anticipates receiving from itsinvestment portfolio, which may lead to the Master Fund having less income to distribute to LimitedPartners including the Company.

The nature of the Master Fund’s security may not always be secured by way of mortgage

The Master Fund may acquire interests in bank loans and other debt obligations that are secured byguarantees and other security pledges and not by way of mortgage. In the event of default, therefore, theMaster Fund may not have direct recourse to the underlying asset.

13

Page 15: DUET REAL ESTATE FINANCE LIMITED - RNS Submit · Oriel Securities Limited Sole Sponsor, Financial Adviser and Bookrunner Prospectus 18 February 2011 DUET REAL ESTATE FINANCE LIMITED

Many of the Investments will be illiquid

Investments made by the Master Fund may not be publicly-traded or freely transferable. SuchInvestments may therefore be extremely difficult to value or to realise.

Hedging arrangements may not be successful

The Company’s economic risks cannot be effectively hedged. However, in connection with the financingof certain Investments, the Master Fund may employ hedging techniques designed to reduce the risks ofadverse movements in interest rates and/or currency exchange rates.

Currency and interest rate derivatives designed to hedge the portfolio from adverse movements in foreignexchange and interest rates may not perfectly hedge the cashflows of the underlying investments. Thismay result in differences between the value of Investments and their hedges. In particular, changes to therepayment profile may cause the hedges to become less efficient.

The Master Fund may benefit from the use of these hedging strategies. However, such strategies may alsoresult in losses and overall poorer performance than if the Master Fund had not entered into such hedgingtransactions.

Investments are subject to jurisdiction-specific insolvency regimes

The value of Investments may be impacted by various laws enacted in the jurisdictions of incorporation ofthe obligors thereunder and, if different, the jurisdictions from which the obligors conduct their businessand in which they hold their assets, which may adversely affect such obligors’ abilities to make paymenton a full or timely basis.

In particular, it should be noted that a number of continental European jurisdictions operate‘‘debtor-friendly’’ insolvency regimes which could result in delays in payments where obligations,debtors or assets thereunder are subject to such regimes. The different insolvency regimes applicable inthe different European jurisdictions result in a corresponding variability of recovery rates for seniorloans, mezzanine loans and other debt obligations entered into or issued in such jurisdictions.

Jurisdiction-specific insolvency regimes may negatively impact borrowers’ or issuers’ ability to makepayments to the Master Fund, or the Master Fund’s recovery in a restructuring or insolvency, which mayadversely affect the Company’s business, financial condition and results of operations.

Repayments of loans could be subject to the availability of refinancing options, including theavailability of senior debt

Upon maturity of a loan, the borrower may either sell the underlying asset to repay the loan or seek torefinance the loan with an alternative lender. It is not certain that refinancing options will be available toborrowers on maturity of any Investments.

Repayment of loans is subject to the underlying real estate collateral at the date of maturity

If the value of an asset upon which an Investment is secured is lower than the value of the underlying loanat the date of maturity of that loan, the counterparty to the loan might be unwilling to repay such loanresulting in recourse to the lower valued asset.

Investments in CMBS are passive and the Master Fund has limited control

A CMBS is sold to a large number of investors. Typically, the majority of investors in the CMBS arerequired to consent to any re-structuring which is then imposed on all the investors. As the Master Fundwill only have a minority interest in any CMBS that it acquires it will have limited control over anydecision-making regarding any re-structuring of the CMBS or its issuer.

H. Risks relating to taxation

The Company and the Master Fund are exposed to changes in tax laws, accounting standards orregulation, or their interpretation

Changes to the tax laws or accounting standards of, or practice in, Guernsey, the United Kingdom or anyother tax jurisdiction affecting the Company or the Master Fund including, for example, the imposition ofwithholding or other taxes on the Company’s investment in the Master Fund or on the underlyingInvestments, could adversely affect the value of the Investments and decrease the post-tax returns toShareholders.

14

Page 16: DUET REAL ESTATE FINANCE LIMITED - RNS Submit · Oriel Securities Limited Sole Sponsor, Financial Adviser and Bookrunner Prospectus 18 February 2011 DUET REAL ESTATE FINANCE LIMITED

The Company and the Master Fund are exposed to changes in their tax residence and changes in the taxtreatment of arrangements relating to their respective business or investments

If the Company or the Master Fund and its underlying companies were treated as resident, or as having apermanent establishment, or as otherwise being engaged in a trade or business, in any country in whichthey invest or in which the Investments are managed, all of their income or gains, or the part of such gainor income that is attributable to, or effectively connected with, such permanent establishment or trade orbusiness, may be subject to tax in that country, which could have a material adverse effect on theperformance of the Company and on returns to the holders of the Ordinary Shares.

To maintain their non-UK tax resident status, the Company and the Master Fund and its underlyingcompanies must be managed and controlled outside the United Kingdom. The composition of the boardsof directors of the Company, the underlying companies of the Master Fund and the General Partner, theplace of residence of the individual directors and the location(s) in which the directors make theirdecisions will be important factors in determining and maintaining the non-UK tax residence status of theCompany and the Master Fund and its underlying companies. The Company is incorporated in Guernseyand a majority of its Directors reside outside the United Kingdom. The Directors will take steps to ensurethat the Company is not centrally managed and controlled in the United Kingdom and, in particular, theirstrategic decisions are not made in the United Kingdom, otherwise there is a risk that the Company maylose its non-UK tax resident status. The Company must similarly ensure that it does not become taxresident in other jurisdictions.

Offshore Funds Rules

Changes in the Company’s tax status or tax treatment may adversely affect the Company, and if theCompany becomes subject to the UK offshore funds rules in Part 8 of the Taxation (International andOther Provisions) Act 2010, there may be adverse tax consequences for UK resident shareholders.

Changes in tax laws or regulation affecting the Master Fund or the unexpected imposition of tax on theInvestments could adversely affect its performance

There can be no assurance that the net income of the Master Fund, the Cayman Company or theLuxembourg Company will not become subject to tax (or increased tax) in one or more countries as aresult of its activities, adverse developments or changes in law, contrary conclusions by the relevant taxauthorities or other causes. The imposition of any such unanticipated taxes could materially reduce theMaster Fund’s after-tax returns, which could have a material adverse effect on the performance of theCompany and returns to Shareholders.

PART 1

THE COMPANY

1. INTRODUCTION

The Company is a newly formed, Guernsey incorporated closed-ended investment company. TheCompany has agreed pursuant to the Commitment Letter to invest the Available Net Proceeds of theIssue in the Master Fund.

The Master Fund is a Cayman limited partnership with an existing portfolio of investments with a netasset value as at 31 December 2010 of £46.4 million. The Master Fund will utilise the commitment of theCompany and its other funds available for investment (being commitments of the other Limited Partners)to invest in and provide debt for commercial real estate, primarily in the UK and Germany andadditionally in the rest of the EU, Norway and Switzerland. Such investments will be made throughwholly owned subsidiaries of the Master Fund, i.e. the Luxembourg Company or such other investmentvehicle as is appropriate. A summary of the European commercial real estate debt market and theinvestment opportunity is set out in Part 3 of this document. Further information in relation to the MasterFund, including its investment objective, policy and strategy, is set out in Part 4 and Part 10 of thisdocument.

The target size of the Issue is £100 million. However, in the event that there is excess demand, theCompany may raise more than £100 million. The Company has committed pursuant to the CommitmentLetter to invest the Available Net Proceeds in the Master Fund. The Available Net Proceeds is anamount equal to the gross proceeds of the Issue less deductions for Issue expenses, the SubscriptionPremium payable by the Company in respect of its Commitment and an amount to be retained by theCompany for working capital purposes. The Investment Adviser will reimburse the Company and/or paysome of its Issue expenses in the event such deductions are greater than 2 per cent of the gross Issueproceeds such that the Available Net Proceeds will be an amount not less than 98 per cent of the grossIssue proceeds. Consequently, if the gross Issue proceeds are £100 million, the Company will commit toinvest a minimum of £98 million in the Master Fund.

Following Admission, other than the ownership of its Interest and cash held in relation to theCommitment, the Company will not have any other substantial assets or business. As a result, theCompany’s financial performance will depend on the performance of its investment in the Master Fund.

Certain directors/employees of the Investment Adviser (including the Principals) have committed toinvest in the Master Fund, directly or indirectly, an amount representing 1 per cent of the totalcommitments by Limited Partners to the Master Fund as at the Final Closing Date. As part of thiscommitment, the Principals have committed to subscribe to the Issue.

The Master Fund has a fixed life and is expected to terminate on 22 December 2014 (subject to the powerto extend its life by up to two years and one month as detailed in paragraph 2.1 of Part 10 of thisdocument).

2. THE COMPANY’S INVESTMENT POLICY

The Company’s investment objective is to provide Shareholders, through its investment in the MasterFund, with regular dividends and an attractive total return whilst limiting downside risk to capital throughexposure to European commercial real estate debt.

The Company may utilise borrowings in order to finance market purchases of its own shares and tofinance its working capital requirements, provided that borrowings will not exceed an amount equal to20 per cent of the Company’s Net Asset Value immediately following draw down.

3. INVESTMENT OPPORTUNITY

Disruption in the financial markets, coupled with a changing regulatory framework, has significantlyrestricted the availability of debt for financing commercial real estate across Europe. The key factorsdriving this have been:

. excessive levels of debt on lending banks’ balance sheets built up over the last decade, leading to thebanks’ desire to deleverage their balance sheets;

. falling property values resulting in increased LTV ratios;

21

Page 23: DUET REAL ESTATE FINANCE LIMITED - RNS Submit · Oriel Securities Limited Sole Sponsor, Financial Adviser and Bookrunner Prospectus 18 February 2011 DUET REAL ESTATE FINANCE LIMITED

. the requirements on banks to maintain greater amounts of regulatory capital as a result of the BaselII and Basel III accords, making it more expensive for a bank to make loans that are above a 60 to65 per cent LTV ratio and thereby restricting the amount of debt that banks will provide against anasset; and

. the lack of liquidity from other financing sources such as CMBS.

In addition, approximately half of the A960 billion1 of debt backed by European commercial real estate isexpected to require refinancing in the next three years. The banks have already signalled to the markettheir intention to shrink their balance sheets as an alternative to refinancing, thereby creating a debtfunding gap in the market. Further details relating to the market background can be found in Part 3 ofthis document.

Given this capital-constrained market place and the wall of maturities over the next few years, non-bankproviders of debt finance have the potential to generate significantly higher returns than previouslyavailable. The Investment Adviser therefore believes that the risk adjusted returns currently available toproviders of debt finance in the commercial real estate sector present an attractive investmentopportunity. Furthermore, the Investment Adviser believes that the Master Fund’s approach of primarilyproviding mezzanine finance backed by high quality assets with a strong tenant base represents the bestrisk adjusted approach to capitalising on this opportunity. The high cash paid coupon of the investmentsalso generates an attractive income profile.

In addition to the above, the Directors and the Investment Adviser believe that an investment in theCompany offers the following benefits and advantages:

. the Company will be the only UK-listed company focused primarily on investing in mezzanine debtfor European commercial real estate;

. the opportunity to invest in the LTV portion of the capital structure that was previously consideredto be senior debt, whilst providing significantly higher returns than senior debt;

. exposure to an investment that is expected to provide a regular cash return as part of an attractivetotal return;

. the Master Fund has an existing portfolio of investments that already generates income. TheCompany therefore expects to pay a dividend in July 2011 representing a yield of 3-4 per cent2

based on the Offer Price;

. access to an investment adviser that has the capabilities, experience and industry contacts requiredto originate and manage debt investments in the European commercial real estate market;

. the Master Fund has a significant pipeline of potential investments which should assist in thedeployment of the Master Fund’s available capital (including the Available Net Proceeds); and

. the opportunity to invest at what the Investment Adviser believes to be the optimum time tocapitalise on this opportunity.

4. DEBT FACILITIES OF THE COMPANY

The Company will not use debt for investment purposes. The Company will not have any debt facilities inplace at Admission, although the Company may arrange for a suitable debt facility to be put in place indue course. Any borrowings would be used only for the purposes of financing market purchases of theCompany’s shares in the circumstances described in section 11 of this Part 1 and to finance the Company’sworking capital requirements when required from time to time. The Company’s borrowings will notexceed an amount equal to 20 per cent of its Net Asset Value immediately following draw down.

5. TARGET RETURNS

The Master Fund is targeting a Gross IRR of 15 per cent or greater per annum, with a cash incomecomponent that provides for a net distribution to Limited Partners in excess of 7 per cent per annum, asoutlined in Part 4.

The returns to investors in the Company will be dependent on the ability of the Master Fund to achieveits target return and the period over which the funds available to the Master Fund for investment(including the Available Net Proceeds) are deployed. The Master Fund expects to be fully investedwithin 12 months of Admission. The Company’s policy in relation to cash awaiting investment is set out inparagraph 17 of this Part 1.

The Company is targeting a cash yield of 7 per cent per annum on each Ordinary Share (by reference tothe Offer Price) which reflects the anticipated income that will be received by it from the Master Fund,adjusted for Company-specific fees, costs and expenses and any portion of the income received from theMaster Fund and retained by the Company for working capital purposes.

The Company will have exposure to the Master Fund’s existing portfolio (further details of which areincluded in Part 5) and the Company expects to pay a dividend in July 2011 representing a yield of3-4 per cent2 based on the Offer Price. This will reflect a distribution received from the Master Fund lessany Company specific expenses.

6. DISTRIBUTION POLICY

The Company will, as far as reasonably practicable and taking into account the requirements of theGuernsey Companies Law, the reasonable costs of the Company and its working capital requirements,distribute by way of dividend payments all cash income that it receives from the Master Fund. TheCompany may also seek to return capital (in accordance with the Guernsey Companies Law and theArticles) if, and to the extent that, the Directors consider this to be appropriate.

The Master Fund is expected to pay a distribution to Limited Partners (including the Company) in July2011 following the end of the June Quarter Month. Consequently, the Company expects to pay its firstdividend on its Ordinary Shares shortly following receipt of such distribution. Thereafter, the Companyintends to distribute all cash income received from the Master Fund (less costs and any sum required tobe retained to meet its ongoing working capital requirements) by way of quarterly dividends, in line withthe frequency of payment of distributions by the Master Fund to its Limited Partners. The Companyanticipates paying those dividends shortly after the receipt by the Company of the relevant distributionsfrom the Master Fund.

The Company anticipates that the dividend will increase as the Available Net Proceeds and thecommitments of the other Limited Partners are invested by the Master Fund. Once the Master Fund’scapital has been fully invested, which is expected within 12 months of Admission, the Company will targetdividend payments to Shareholders of 7 per cent per annum on each Ordinary Share (by reference to theOffer Price).

The Company’s ability to pay dividends at the level it is targeting will be substantially reliant on theachievement by the Master Fund of its investment objectives.

7. FEES AND EXPENSES

Formation and initial expenses

The initial expenses of the Company are those which are necessary for the Issue and will be borne by theCompany. Should the amount of such expenses, the Subscription Premium payable by the Company inrespect of its commitment to invest in the Master Fund and the amount of any working capital notcommitted to be invested in the Master Fund exceed an amount equal to 2 per cent of the gross Issueproceeds, the Investment Adviser has agreed to reimburse the Company and/or meet its expenses suchthat the Available Net Proceeds which will be committed to be invested by the Company in the MasterFund pursuant to the Commitment Letter will not be less than 98 per cent of the amount of the grossIssue proceeds. Consequently, if the gross Issue proceeds are £100 million, the Company will commit toinvest a minimum of £98 million in the Master Fund.

The initial expenses relating to the Issue will be paid on or around Admission and will include, withoutlimitation, placing fees and commissions, registration, listing and admission fees, the cost of settlementand escrow arrangements, printing, advertising and distribution costs, legal fees and any other applicableexpenses. All such expenses payable by the Company will be immediately written off.

Such advice will be provided on a basis tobe agreed in advance between the Company and the Investment Adviser. In the event that the MasterFund is approaching the end of its fixed life and it makes in specie distributions to its Limited Partners,the Company has the option (but not the obligation) pursuant to the Company Investment AdvisoryAgreement to retain the Investment Adviser to advise it upon the management and realisation process inrespect of such in specie distributions on the terms set out in the Master Fund Investment AdvisoryAgreement.

The Company will not otherwise be liable to pay any management or advisory fees to the InvestmentAdviser.

The ongoing costs of the Company are estimated to be approximately £320,000 per annum.

Master Fund fees and expenses

The Investment Adviser will receive an annual Advisory Fee in relation to the Company’s Interest of1.5 per cent (plus VAT if applicable) per annum of the Company’s Commitment, payable quarterly inadvance from the Initial Closing Date to the end of the Investment Period. After the end of theInvestment Period, the Advisory Fee in relation to the Company’s Interest shall be 1.5 per cent (plusVAT if applicable) per annum of the proportion of the total acquisition cost of all Investments whichremain unrealised at the start of the relevant quarter and which have not been written off, as is equal tothe proportion that the Company’s Interest bears to the aggregate Interests of all the Limited Partners.

The Investment Adviser may at its discretion enter into arrangements with investors in the Placing orOffer for Subscription pursuant to which it will effectively return to such investors a proportion of theAdvisory Fee or Carried Interest in respect of the investor’s ‘‘look through’’ commitment in the MasterFund (being its shareholding in the Company).

Pursuant to the Distribution Waterfall which is described in paragraph 6 of Part 4 and paragraph 2.1 ofPart 10 of this document, the Special Limited Investor will receive a total of 20 per cent of the proceeds ofthe Master Fund that are available for distribution, subject to Limited Partners first receiving an amountequal to their capital and the Preferred Return on the amounts drawn down from them respectively.

8. HEDGING POLICY

Interest rate hedging may be carried out by the Company to seek to provide protection against increasinginterest rates as and when any floating rate liabilities are entered into by the Company. The Company’sexposure to such floating rate liabilities is likely to be limited to permitted gearing as referred to inparagraph 4 above.

9. NAV PUBLICATION AND VALUATION

The Master Fund’s Investments are valued quarterly as at the last Business Day of each Quarter Month.The valuation methodology employed by the Master Fund is set out in paragraph 4 of Part 4 of thisdocument. Limited Partners are also notified quarterly of their individual financial position in respect oftheir Interest. Following the valuation of the Investments being completed and being notified to theCompany and the other Limited Partners and the Company being notified of the financial position inrespect of its Interest, in each case as described in paragraph 4 of Part 4, the Administrator will, basedupon the valuations of the Investments and the financial position in respect of the Company’s Interest,but taking into account the cash and other assets held by the Company, accrued liabilities and expenses

and leverage (if any) of the Company, calculate the NAV of the Company and of the Ordinary Shares asat each Valuation Date. The quarterly NAV of the Company and of the Ordinary Shares will beannounced through a Regulated Information Service and published on the Company’s website atwww.dreflimited.com.

10. FURTHER ISSUES OF ORDINARY SHARES

The Articles confer pre-emption rights on existing Shareholders in connection with the allotment ofequity securities for cash. These rights, which are summarised in paragraph 3.9 of Part 9 of this document,have the effect that, in the event of a further allotment of equity securities in the Company for cash, suchequity securities as are proposed to be allotted shall be first offered to existing Shareholders pro rata inproportion to their existing respective holdings of shares in the Company on either the same or morefavourable terms. Pursuant to the extraordinary resolution described in paragraph 2.3 of Part 9 of thisdocument, such pre-emption rights have been disapplied in respect of the allotment of Ordinary Sharespursuant to the Placing and Offer for Subscription, any rights issue by the Company and the allotment ofsuch number of Ordinary Shares as is equal to 9.99 per cent of the number of Ordinary Shares in issueimmediately following Admission. The subscription price for any Ordinary Shares allotted by theCompany in the future will be the then-prevailing NAV per Ordinary Share or greater, except in the caseof a pre-emptive offer to all Shareholders, which may be at a discount to NAV or otherwise, with theapproval of Shareholders.

11. ORDINARY SHARE REPURCHASES

Conditional upon Admission, the Company has been granted authority (subject to the Listing Rules andall other applicable legislation and regulations) to make market purchases of up to 14.99 per cent perannum of its issued Ordinary Shares immediately following Admission. This authority will expire at theconclusion of the first annual general meeting of the Company.

A renewal of the authority to make purchases of Ordinary Shares will be sought from Shareholders ateach annual general meeting of the Company. The timing of any purchases will be decided by the Boardin light of prevailing market conditions and will be made within guidelines established from time to timeby the Board. However, such purchases will be made only in accordance with applicable law, the ListingRules and the Disclosure and Transparency Rules in force from time to time, or any successor laws, rulesor regulations. The Listing Rules currently provide that where the Company purchases its OrdinaryShares the price to be paid must not be more than the higher of (i) 105 per cent of the average of themarket values of the Ordinary Shares for the five trading days immediately before the Ordinary Share iscontracted to be purchased and (ii) the amount stipulated by Article 5(1) of the Buy-back andStabilisation Regulation 2003.

12. LIFE OF THE COMPANY AND THE MASTER FUND

The Master Fund terminates on 22 December 2014 unless extended at the discretion of the GeneralPartner for a maximum of two years and one month by the addition of a one year period and a one yearand one month period. Any assets remaining on termination of the Master Fund which are attributable tothe Limited Partners will be distributed to the Limited Partners (including the Company). The GeneralPartner anticipates the distribution being made in cash. However, the General Partner may in itsdiscretion, distribute all or any of the Master Fund assets in specie. In such circumstances, wherereasonably practicable, each Limited Partner will be offered the choice as to whether to receive theMaster Fund assets in specie or as cash. In the case of the Company, assets distributed to it in specie wouldbe realised over time and, as noted above, the Company has the option (but not the obligation) to receiveadvice in respect of that management and realisation process from the Investment Adviser under theCompany Investment Advisory Agreement or can choose to appoint another adviser to advise on thatprocess.

As such, a person is required tonotify the Company of the percentage of voting rights it holds as a shareholder or holds or is deemed tohold through the direct or indirect holding of financial instruments falling within DTR 5 if, as a result ofan acquisition or disposal of shares (or financial instruments), the percentage of voting rights reaches,exceeds or falls below the relevant percentage thresholds being, in the case of a non-UK issuer, 5, 10, 15,20, 25 30, 50 and 75 per cent. Pursuant to the Articles, DTR 5 is deemed to apply to the Company asthough the Company were a ‘‘UK issuer’’, as such term is defined by DTR5. As such, the relevantpercentage thresholds that apply to the Company are 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10 per cent and each 1 per centthreshold thereafter up to 100 per cent notwithstanding that in the absence of the relevant provisions ofthe Articles such thresholds would not apply to the Company.

15. TAXATION

Information concerning the tax status of the Company and of an investment in Ordinary Shares is set outin Part 8 of this document. If any potential investor is in any doubt about the taxation consequences ofacquiring, holding or disposing of Ordinary Shares, they should seek advice from their independentprofessional adviser.

16. EQUALISATION PROCESS

On or shortly following the Company becoming a Limited Partner, the General Partner will draw down asufficient amount of the Company’s commitment in the Master Fund to ‘equalise’ draw downs across allLimited Partners. The equalisation payment is made to ensure that the amounts available to be drawn inthe future from each Limited Partner are proportionate to each Limited Partner’s commitment.

17. CASH AWAITING INVESTMENT

Cash held by the Company and awaiting investment in the Master Fund may be held as cash or investedin Eligible Investments.

‘‘Eligible Investments’’ means (a) sterling demand or time deposits, certificates of deposit and short-termdebt obligations (including commercial paper), provided that in all cases such investments will maturegiven ten Business Days’ notice and the short-term unsecured, unguaranteed and unsubordinated debtobligations of the issuing or guaranteeing entity or the entity with which the demand or time deposits aremade (being a bank or licensed EU credit institution) are rated ‘‘A-1+’’, ‘‘P-1’’ and ‘‘F1+’’ by Standardand Poor, Moody’s or Fitch respectively and (b) any sterling denominated money market fund rated atleast ‘‘AAA’’ by Standard and Poor or ‘‘Aaa’’ and ‘‘MR1+’’ by Moody’s or ‘‘AAA’’ by Fitch.

The credit ratings referred to above are issued by Standard & Poor’s Financial Services LLC, FitchRatings Ltd and Moody’s Investors Service, which are credit rating agencies that are not established inthe European Union and are not at the date of this document registered under Regulation (EC) No 1060/2009 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 16 September 2009 on credit rating agencies.

18. CASH MANAGEMENT

The Limited Partnership Agreement characterises payments to Limited Partners under the DistributionWaterfall such that Limited Partners’ commitments are deemed to be returned first, followed by thepayment of the Preferred Return. Further returns are shared between Limited Partners and the Special

26

Page 28: DUET REAL ESTATE FINANCE LIMITED - RNS Submit · Oriel Securities Limited Sole Sponsor, Financial Adviser and Bookrunner Prospectus 18 February 2011 DUET REAL ESTATE FINANCE LIMITED

Limited Investor pursuant to the Distribution Waterfall. However, this may not reflect how HMRCwould characterise those payments to the Company, in that HMRC may have regard to the underlyingreturns from the Master Fund to characterise those payments. In light of this potential difference, and inparticular because the rights of the Special Limited Investor in relation to the Carried Interest arise onlyonce Limited Partners are deemed to have received their commitments together with the PreferredReturn, it may become necessary for the Company, the Master Fund and the Cayman Company to worktogether towards the end of the life of the Master Fund to implement certain procedures to try to ensurethat Shareholders are taxed in the anticipated manner in respect of income generated and capitalreturned from the underlying Investments of the Master Fund. These procedures may involve, inter alia,managing the cash flows out of the Cayman Company by accruing against income received by theCayman Company from Investments in respect of the Special Limited Investor’s anticipated rights inrelation to the Carried Interest and holding cash from such accrual in the Cayman Company (rather thanpaying the cash corresponding to such accrual to the Master Fund and, in turn, to Limited Partners underthe Distribution Waterfall).

PART 3

BACKGROUND TO THE EUROPEAN REAL ESTATE DEBT MARKET ANDINVESTMENT OPPORTUNITY

1. COMMERCIAL REAL ESTATE CAPITAL STRUCTURE

European commercial real estate (‘‘CRE’’) is typically financed through a combination of debt andequity. The debt financing can be split into two parts: senior debt and mezzanine debt.

The senior debt portion of the capital structure is typically provided by a lending bank and is usually thelargest part of the capital structure. Historically, the senior loan has tended to represent up to 80 per centof the value of the real estate, but for the reasons described below, on new financings or refinancings ofexisting loans the senior debt portion is now a smaller percentage of the total debt required, typicallyrepresenting no more than 60 per cent to 65 per cent of the value of the real estate. The senior debt holdsthe greatest level of security with a first ranking mortgage over the assets, and has some protectionprovided by underlying layers of mezzanine debt and equity which would absorb any losses before thesenior lenders experience losses. Before any risk of capital loss to the senior debt holders, the value of theproperty would need to fall to such a level that both the equity and mezzanine debt have no value on asale. As an example, if the senior loan represents 65 per cent of the value of the commercial real estate atacquisition, there would only be a risk of capital loss for the senior lenders if the value of the commercialreal estate falls by more than 35 per cent.

The second part of the debt structure is the mezzanine debt. Mezzanine debt sits between the senior debtand the equity in the capital structure and carries a higher rate of interest than the senior debt. As anexample, a commercial real estate asset may be financed by 65 per cent senior debt, 15 per centmezzanine debt and 20 per cent equity. Whilst accepting more risk than the senior debt holder, themezzanine debt holder earns a higher return than the senior debt holder and is protected through havingsecond-ranking security over the underlying asset and, in addition, has the protection of the equity layersitting below it in the capital structure. In certain circumstances, the mezzanine debt holder may alsoshare in the equity upside of the underlying real estate. However, for mezzanine debt provided at80 per cent of real estate value and below, this is not very common.

The equity provider tends to be the borrower of the senior and mezzanine debt and is most exposed tomovement in value of the commercial real estate.

The diagram below illustrates the typical funding structure of a commercial real estate transaction whichwould be put in place in the current market:

2. MEZZANINE DEBT

Mezzanine debt is a form of funding which can be provided to assist in the financing of real estatetransactions. Mezzanine debt is used to fill the funding gap between senior debt (typically provided bybanks) and equity (typically provided by the owner of the property), normally occupying a position in therange of 65 per cent to 85 per cent of LTV of a given funding structure. Mezzanine debt earns a higherrate of return than senior debt (by way of either a higher coupon and/or a profit participation) whilstranking above equity in the funding ‘hierarchy’.

31

Page 33: DUET REAL ESTATE FINANCE LIMITED - RNS Submit · Oriel Securities Limited Sole Sponsor, Financial Adviser and Bookrunner Prospectus 18 February 2011 DUET REAL ESTATE FINANCE LIMITED

Mezzanine debt is the product of a negotiated process between the mezzanine lender, senior lender andthe equity investor and the terms on which mezzanine debt is provided therefore vary substantially, beinginfluenced by a range of factors including:

. the size and term of the senior debt tranche;

. the amount of equity within a given structure;

. the nature of the business plan for the particular property or portfolio;

. the potential forecast upside from a given property/portfolio and how great a profit participation isnegotiable;

. the initial yield profile of the property income;

. the required term of the mezzanine layer;

. the experience of the equity sponsor; and

. the property’s lease structure and the credit quality of the tenants.

Thus, in reality, mezzanine finance covers a broad variety of funding tools which vary greatly in terms ofrisk and commensurate return. At the lower risk end of the scale (i.e. 65 to 80 per cent LTV), the marketin which the Master Fund participates, mezzanine finance is sometimes referred to as ‘sub senior’ or Bloan positions. At the riskier end of the scale (i.e. 85 per cent or more LTV) it can be referred to as‘preferred equity’. In a larger property transaction there may be more than one mezzanine layer, withdifferent risk/return characteristics.

The maturity of mezzanine debt can vary but typically tends to be five years within the Europeancommercial real estate market in which the Master Fund invests. This is generally in line with thematurity on the senior debt. The borrower is required to make coupon payments to the holder of themezzanine debt, which is calculated as a percentage of the total amount of mezzanine debt outstanding.In addition to the cash paid coupon, the debt provider may also charge a payment-in-kind coupon whichis also calculated as a percentage of the total amount of mezzanine debt outstanding, but is ‘rolled up’with the capital of the loan and is required to be repaid with the capital balance at the end of the term ofthe loan.

In certain circumstances, for example where there is less of an equity cushion below the mezzanine layer,the mezzanine provider may also receive some equity upside in the event the value of the propertyincreases. The Master Fund does not intend to invest in riskier situations and hence does not anticipatethis representing a significant proportion of its returns.

Mezzanine debt tends to have an early payment protection mechanism built in, so that in the event theloan is repaid early the borrower is required to pay a premium, which can be significant, over theoutstanding balance.

The return to the mezzanine debt holder can be summarised by one or a combination of the following:

. a one-off debt arrangement fee, typically 1 to 2 per cent of the amount of the mezzanine debt;

. a fixed rate coupon payment, typically 9 to 15 per cent per annum, often split between a cash paidcoupon and a payment-in-kind coupon;

. a one-off exit fee, typically being 1 to 2 per cent of the amount of initial mezzanine debt provided;and

. in some cases, a profit participation agreement, typically being a percentage of the return beingearned by the equity provider.

The mezzanine provider would normally receive a second charge over the assets, subordinated to thesenior debt, and in certain circumstances may receive additional security over the holding company of theassets such that, in the event of default by the borrower, the mezzanine holder would seek to take controlof the equity and work alongside the senior lender to repay the debt.

Given the ongoing coupon payments attached to the mezzanine loans, the cumulative interest paymentsover the life of the loan de-risk the investment over time, particularly when compared to the equityholders, where the overall return is heavily weighted to the realisation of the asset. The recent increase incoupon spreads in new mezzanine debt, as described in detail below, further amplifies this effect.

3. MARKET BACKGROUND

While detailed estimates vary slightly, there is approximately A960 billion1 of debt backed by Europeancommercial real estate. Much of this debt was originated in the 2005 to 2007 period. Approximately halfof the overall debt in the European market is backed by real estate in the United Kingdom and Germany.Importantly, nearly half of that debt is due to mature in the next three years. De Monfort University hasreported that over half of the UK’s commercial property loans are due to mature by the end of 2012 andover three quarters will come due before the end of 2014.

Banks in Europe were the predominant providers of debt to finance commercial property. As an exampleof this, in the United Kingdom as of July 2010, the banks were estimated to have provided 76 per cent,while CMBS provided approximately 19 per cent. Prior to 2008 CMBS securitisation facilitated someliquidity for banks which had provided commercial mortgages, enabling them to sell tranches in a pool ofcommercial mortgages to third party investors, removing the exposure from the banks’ balance sheet.CMBS securitisation grew as an alternative provider of debt, particularly in 2006 and 2007, when thecapital markets were awash with cheap liquidity. The CMBS market grew rapidly but has now essentiallyclosed and, in the opinion of the Investment Adviser, is unlikely to return significantly in the short tomedium term as an alternative source of funding to facilitate refinancing of the upcoming loan maturities.Therefore, there is a requirement for non-bank capital to play a role in the financing of commercialproperty, particularly in Europe.

Fuelled by the availability of cheap debt, commercial property values in the UK rose dramatically fromearly 2003 through to the end of 2007, when the credit contraction began. From the peak of the market inthe spring of 2007 to the trough experienced in 2009, property values declined by over 40 per cent.

A combination of higher property yields and lower income from rents drove prices lower. The recovery inUK property values since June 2009 has seen values rise by nearly 16 per cent in the past year. However,this overall rise in values masks a gap that continues between the performance of prime and secondaryassets. In addition, despite the recent improvement in values, it is estimated that commercial real estatevalues fell by 32 per cent during the period 2006 to 2011 and, as a consequence, it is estimated that theLTV ratio for the UK property investment market is around 100 per cent.

In contrast to the UK, prime property in the Eurozone reduced in value by 18 per cent from peak totrough, a fall of less than half that experienced in the UK. The fall for all property was between 20 and25 per cent, secondary assets seeing much greater falls than prime. Not surprisingly, different countriesfared very differently but across Europe as a whole, capital values increased during the first half of 2010.However, like the UK, it appears that the rate of increase is slowing.

4. DEBT SECTOR BACKGROUND

Bank lending to UK property companies grew 20 per cent per annum between 2000 and 2007 leading tothe proportion of corporate loans which are to property companies rising from 16 per cent in March 1997

34

Page 36: DUET REAL ESTATE FINANCE LIMITED - RNS Submit · Oriel Securities Limited Sole Sponsor, Financial Adviser and Bookrunner Prospectus 18 February 2011 DUET REAL ESTATE FINANCE LIMITED

to 36 per cent in 2009. Bank lending still grew 9 per cent over the year to March 2009, most likelyreflecting borrowers drawing down on existing unused facilities. Goldman Sachs reported in 2009 that thelast time the UK had a slump, commercial real estate lending fell for the following 7 years to a low of16 per cent of bank books. They projected that if the banks follow a similar approach today it would takeuntil the end of 2014 before commercial real estate loan balances stopped falling. Assuming corporateloan portfolios grew by 5 per cent per annum over this period, loans to UK property would need todecline by over 40 per cent to return to the 1997 level of 16 per cent of overall portfolio size.

Banks are also facing challenges in refinancing their own debt, which helped drive loan book growth priorto 2009. European banks have an estimated A1.9 trillion of their own debt maturing over the next threeyears, of which A740 billion is maturing in 2011. Lloyds alone faces over A120 billion of maturing debtover the next three years.

RBS and Lloyds have announced that between them they will reduce the size of their exposure to UKcommercial property by £60 billion by 2014. Between those two lenders, the shrinkage accounts forapproximately one quarter of the market.

Given the amount of debt coming due for maturity over the next few years and the need, as illustratedabove, for the banks to shrink their exposure to the commercial real estate asset class, there is asubstantial debt funding gap in the market. DTZ have published a report that defines the debt fundinggap as the difference between existing debt and the debt available to replace it. According to the report,Europe has the largest debt funding gap for the 2011 to 2013 period, totalling $126 billion or 51 per centof the global figure.

This backdrop has led to a restricted supply across Europe for commercial real estate debt. Whateverdebt is available in the market is mostly targeted at prime properties. Even so, average LTV ratios fornew bank lending have fallen from 75 to 80 per cent on average to between 60 to 65 per cent.

Additionally, the cost of debt has increased as the banks face higher costs of financing their loanportfolios. While deposits are still priced attractively from the banks’ perspective, wholesale funding,which they source from the market, has become much more expensive. This has resulted in margins fornew loans expanding from approximately 100 basis points during the peak liquidity period to new levelsthat are more than twice the cost.

5. REGULATORY CHANGES

In addition to the expanding cost of funding for the banks, they are also required to maintain greateramounts of regulatory capital as a result of the Basel II and Basel III accords.

The introduction of the Basel II regime made commercial property lending more expensive by raising theamount of capital that banks would be required to hold against commercial property loans. Themechanism that was introduced in 2008 makes it significantly more expensive for a bank to make loansthat are above 60 to 65 per cent LTV ratio. Basel III, which will be phased in over the coming years, hasfurther raised the required capital that banks will need to hold as a percentage of risk-weighted assets.This has been identified as one of the biggest determinants for banks’ willingness to provide leverageagainst certain asset classes.

The capital expense associated with commercial property lending above 60 per cent LTV means that fewbanks, if any, will be providing this type of debt in the future. Given the concentrated role the banks havehistorically played in the market, the Investment Adviser anticipates that spreads on LTV lending over60 per cent will remain high in order to attract new non-bank capital into this space.

6. CHANGES IN THE CAPITAL STRUCTURE

The regulatory changes and market changes described above have led to a significant change to thetypical lending structure. The diagram below provides an illustrative example of how the financingstructure for commercial real estate has changed since 2007.

36

As mentioned above, lending banks are less willing to lend or refinance at the same loan-to-value ratios asin 2007 and before. Hence, in the above example, where an investor may have previously been able toobtain senior debt for up to 80 per cent of the property value, it may now only receive 60 per cent, and thespreads on the coupon payments have increased. Equity providers are now required to providesignificantly more equity. In the above example the equity layer has increased from 10 per cent to25 per cent.

The result of this change in senior lending is that the mezzanine layer now sits in a position in the capitalstructure that was previously considered ‘senior’ debt.

Therefore, an investor in mezzanine debt in today’s market typically receives greater capital protectionthan before, provided by the higher level of equity as a percentage of the asset’s value, and also receives ahigher return, driven by the increase in spreads. In addition, the falls in capital values already sustainedsince 2007 provide investors some comfort that they are not providing debt at the top of the market.

PART 4

THE MASTER FUND

1. INTRODUCTION

The Master Fund is structured as an exempted limited partnership registered in the Cayman Islands. TheCayman Company is a wholly owned subsidiary of the Master Fund and the Luxembourg Company is awholly owned subsidiary of the Cayman Company. The Luxembourg Company holds the Investments,either directly or indirectly, and will directly or indirectly hold all future Investments.

The Master Fund was established on 2 January 2009 and has raised a total of £117.4 million ofcommitments. The Master Fund commenced operations on 22 December 2009, being the date of the firstdrawdown. The Master Fund is seeking to raise commitments of up to £300 million in aggregate. Thisamount may increase at the discretion of the General Partner. In addition to the Issue, the Master Fund isanticipating a final close prior to 22 June 2011 (or such later date that the Final Closing Date can beextended to in accordance with the Limited Partnership Agreement).

The Master Fund has made six investments since it commenced operations totalling approximately£60 million, of which one has been realised at a profit of £1.1 million, representing an IRR in respect ofthat investment of 23.9 per cent. Details of the Master Fund’s investment portfolio are set out in Part 5 ofthis document.

The structure of the Master Fund and its subsidiaries is as set out in the following diagram:

For tax, legal and regulatory reasons the Master Fund may, in exceptional circumstances and if it is in theinterests of a majority of Limited Partners (by reference to the sizes of the respective investmentcommitments to the Master Fund), form one or more alternative investment entities to make investmentsoutside of the Master Fund. Generally in such event investors participating in such an alternativeinvestment vehicle would participate on substantially the same terms and conditions as they participate inthe Master Fund.

2. INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE AND POLICY OF THE MASTER FUND

The Master Fund invests in, and provides, debt finance secured directly or indirectly on commercial realestate in the EU, Norway and Switzerland.

Investment objective

Investments made by the Master Fund are intended to maximise reward whilst managing downside risk,through investing in debt instruments. The Master Fund’s objective is to generate a Gross IRR of15 per cent or more per annum, with a cash income component providing for distributions to LimitedPartners in excess of 7 per cent per annum. Returns to Limited Partners will typically comprise interestpayments, dividends, capital repayment and gains at the point of maturity or realisation of an Investment.

The intention of the Master Fund is to invest in assets for the medium to long term. The Master Fund willgenerally retain its Investments until maturity, although it may take advantage of opportunities for salethat arise from time to time, bearing in mind the Master Fund’s investment policy and risk profile.

Investment policy

The Master Fund will make new loans as well as buying existing loans and bonds collateralised byEuropean commercial real estate. Investments are in debt instruments which benefit from the protectionof being a secured loan or bond. The Master Fund does not invest in single family residential real estate.These Investments are intended to be held for the medium to long term with a view to realising interestincome and possible long term capital gain.

Due to the Investment Adviser’s expectation that asset values will continue to be volatile, the DebtStrategy compels the Master Fund to prioritise risk mitigation over returns. Consequently, faced with achoice of achieving higher returns and taking less risk, the Master Fund will choose less risk, consistentwith achieving its targeted returns.

Debt Strategy – LTV and ICR metrics

The Master Fund invests in: (i) new debt where the initial LTV is equal to or less than 80 per cent of realestate value; and (ii) old debt where, in the Investment Adviser’s opinion, the LTV will be equal to or lessthan 80 per cent of the estimated value of the collateral at the time of acquisition of the debt and isprojected to be equal to or less than 90 per cent of the estimated value of the collateral at maturity. ThisLTV criteria will not apply when investing in debt where, at the time of acquisition, limited or norepayment of the principal amount is anticipated. An external valuation will be used when available andcommercially viable.

The Master Fund will invest in assets which have interest coverage ratio (ICR) of no less than 1:1.

Adherence to the Debt Strategy will be overseen by the Advisory Committee (described in paragraph 4below) once it has been formally established.

Target countries and investment restrictions

The Master Fund’s focus is on the largest and most mature real estate markets in Western Europe, beingthe UK and Germany. The Master Fund also considers investments elsewhere in the EU, Norway andSwitzerland.

The following investment restrictions apply to the Master Fund each time the Master Fund makes anInvestment:

. each debt Investment shall be made in accordance with the Debt Strategy;

. it is the intention of the Master Fund not to invest more than 15 per cent of total commitments inany one Investment or, before the Final Closing Date, 15 per cent of the Master Fund Target Size;and

39

Page 41: DUET REAL ESTATE FINANCE LIMITED - RNS Submit · Oriel Securities Limited Sole Sponsor, Financial Adviser and Bookrunner Prospectus 18 February 2011 DUET REAL ESTATE FINANCE LIMITED

. the Master Fund will not invest in single family residential real estate.

The following investment restrictions apply to the Master Fund following the end of the InvestmentPeriod in respect of the Master Fund making Investments and Follow-On Investments:

. at least 70 per cent of the Master Fund’s total Investments shall be in the UK and Germany but nomore than 60 per cent of the Master Fund’s total Investments shall be in the UK;

. no more than 15 per cent of the Master Fund’s total Investments shall be in any one of the Tier BCountries (being Austria, Belgium, Denmark, Italy, Luxembourg, Netherlands, Finland, France,Sweden, Norway and Switzerland) and no more that 30 per cent of the Master Fund’s totalInvestments shall be in the Tier B Countries in total; and

. no more than 5 per cent of the Master Fund’s total Investments shall be in any one of the Tier CCountries (being Ireland, Spain, Portugal, Czech Republic, Hungary, Poland, Slovenia andSlovakia) and no more that 10 per cent of the Master Fund’s total Investments shall be in the Tier CCountries in total.

Protection against exchange rate and interest rate movements

The Master Fund’s Investments will typically be made in the currency of the country where theunderlying asset(s) are located. This will largely be in Pounds Sterling and Euros. Investments may beconsidered in other European currencies that are freely transferable. The Master Fund may implementmeasures designed to protect the Investments against material movements in the exchange rate betweenPounds Sterling and the currency in which certain Investments are made. The analysis as to whether suchmeasures should be implemented will take into account periodic interest, principal distributions ordividends due, as well as the expected date of realisation of the Investment.

The Master Fund will invest in both fixed and floating rate instruments and the Master Fund may put inplace interest rate hedging strategies designed to protect the Investments against interest ratemovements.

Borrowing and leverage

It is not the intention of the Master Fund to pursue a geared strategy and the Master Fund will onlycontract leverage on terms intended to minimise risk and will ensure that it secures covenants andmaturity profiles at least matching the underlying Investments. Leverage will be employed only at therelevant asset level with no recourse to the other Master Fund assets.

The Master Fund, either directly or indirectly through a special purpose vehicle, may make borrowings:(i) to cover temporary cash flow deficits; (ii) for the purpose of funding the completion of an Investment,provided that the committed term of the borrowing is at least as long as the remaining term of theInvestment acquired; (iii) for further investment in an existing Investment; and/or (iv) for any otherpurpose of the Master Fund, provided that the aggregate of all outstanding borrowings, and theguarantees and undertakings described below, shall not exceed 50 per cent of the total value of theMaster Fund’s assets calculated with reference to the historical cost when purchasing such assets.

The Master Fund may, either directly or indirectly through a special purpose vehicle, enter intoguarantees and undertakings in connection with an Investment or in respect of the obligations of aportfolio company, provided that the committed term of the borrowing is at least as long as the remainingterm of the Investment acquired or to be acquired. The liability outstanding under such guarantee orundertaking shall not exceed the value of the Investment to which it relates and together with any otheroutstanding borrowings, guarantees or undertakings made by the Master Fund, shall not exceed50 per cent of the total value of the Master Fund’s assets calculated with reference to the historical costwhen purchasing such assets.

The Master Fund may arrange for a revolving credit facility to enable the Fund to acquire Investments byway of borrowing instead of, in advance of, or contemporaneously with the drawdown of commitmentsfrom Limited Partners.

3. THE MASTER FUND’S INVESTMENT STRATEGY

The strategy

The Master Fund’s strategy is to invest in and provide debt for commercial real estate primarily in theUK and Germany and additionally in the rest of the EU, Norway and Switzerland. The Master Fundprovides new financing directly to borrowers, as well as purchasing existing loans and bonds at a discount

40

Page 42: DUET REAL ESTATE FINANCE LIMITED - RNS Submit · Oriel Securities Limited Sole Sponsor, Financial Adviser and Bookrunner Prospectus 18 February 2011 DUET REAL ESTATE FINANCE LIMITED

from current lenders/owners. The Master Fund might also participate in equity upside through hybridstructures whilst benefiting from the downside protection of being a secured loan provider.

The Master Fund will diversify investments by sector and looks to invest in assets which have strongunderlying cashflows.

The Master Fund’s Investments are expected to fall broadly into three categories:

. New financings: Where possible under applicable laws and regulations, the Master Fund willprovide new financing directly to borrowers or refinance existing loans coming to maturity. Theseinvestments are intended to provide for very strong structuring with tight covenant packages. It maybe possible in some cases to use hybrid structures to gain upside exposure through ‘‘equity kicker’’mechanics or convertible features whilst maintaining the downside protection of a secured loanstructure.

. Existing loans: The Master Fund may acquire existing loans directly from lenders in need ofrecapitalisation and unwilling or unable to hold these loans to maturity. Through these investments,the Master Fund may be able to exercise a degree of control through covenant packages and directnegotiations with borrowers.

. Mortgage securities: The Master Fund may acquire CMBS bonds on selected transactions wherecurrent market pricing of these securities is viewed to be advantageous due to the current creditmarket conditions and where the fundamentals of the underlying real estate remain strong. In thesesituations, the Master Fund will usually be passive due to the smaller percentage of ownershipwithin the overall capital structure of these transactions.

The Investments are expected to include other features such as defined legal maturities, amortisationrequirements, security arrangements (mortgages, share pledges, charges over rent and other receivablesand locked box accounts). Whilst Investments may be subordinated to the rights of senior lenders, theMaster Fund will endeavour to accede to or to structure intercreditor agreements with the other lendersinvolved in the transactions in order to regulate and secure the rights of the Master Fund. The InvestmentAdviser intends that these agreements will set out, inter alia, enforcement mechanics, priority ofpayments and overall governance of the relationship between various classes of lenders.

4. INVESTMENT PROCESS OF THE MASTER FUND

The Master Fund will make investment decisions based on advice and recommendations from theInvestment Adviser which have been approved by the Investment Committee as complying with theMaster Fund’s strategy.

The Investment Adviser has established an investment process that seeks to optimise decision-making bycombining a well-informed due diligence process with speed of execution. The investment process issummarised in the diagram below.

Sourcing /Screening

Underwriting Approval Execution Monitoring /Reporting

Sourcing

The Principals are responsible for sourcing potential real estate debt investments, both in existing andnew facilities. It is anticipated that this sourcing will arise largely from banks. The Principals will forwardthe potential investments to the Investment Adviser’s investment team and oversee valuation, structuringand analysis.

Underwriting

The Investment Adviser is responsible for preparing full analysis of the debt investment. This starts withasset fundamentals including:

. in-house asset by asset valuations; and

. stress testing for cash flows and exits.

41

Page 43: DUET REAL ESTATE FINANCE LIMITED - RNS Submit · Oriel Securities Limited Sole Sponsor, Financial Adviser and Bookrunner Prospectus 18 February 2011 DUET REAL ESTATE FINANCE LIMITED

The approach to any proposed investment will be determined after asset diligence and the InvestmentAdviser will seek to optimise risk and reward by limiting downside risks while securing optimal pricing.Terms and conditions of loans will be structured to protect the Investment and, where possible, allow foractive position management. The Investment Adviser will analyse new loans and existing loans with asimilar approach.

In underwriting potential deals for the Master Fund, the Investment Adviser will:

. use historical information such as cap rates, net operating income and vacancy rates to stress inputsto valuation for historical low periods in the property cycle;

. examine future possible valuation outcomes by looking at market expectations embedded inproperty derivatives and other forward looking estimates provided by third parties;

. adjust information for property type, location and other property level fundamentals that maydifferentiate the target asset from the average property type; and

. create an expected future value as well as a likely value range, stressing multiple input factors.

In this process the Investment Adviser resizes a loan based on original capital value to one appropriatefor expected market conditions. By reassigning value the Investment Adviser provides a template formaking a new loan or acquiring an existing loan with appropriate downside protection and returnrequirements.

Once all stress testing is complete, the Investment Adviser will take the proposed transaction to theInvestment Committee. The Investment Committee will review the proposed transaction and decidewhether to approve the Investment Adviser’s recommendation. If the Investment Committee approves aproposed transaction, the Investment Adviser will put the proposed transaction to the Cayman Companyfor consideration which, in turn, if it decides to approve that proposed transaction, will put the proposedtransaction to its subsidiary, the Luxembourg Company, for consideration. The Cayman Company andthen (where the Cayman Company decides to approve the proposed transaction) the LuxembourgCompany will analyse the proposed transaction and make the final decision as to whether the proposedtransaction should proceed.

Ongoing Responsibility

The Investment Adviser is responsible for creating and implementing asset level business plans includingrecommending to the Cayman Company disposal of investments as well as producing quarterlymanagement reports.

The Investment Committee

The General Partner has established an Investment Committee to review, on behalf of Limited Partners,transactions proposed to the Master Fund by the Investment Adviser. The Investment Committee willconvene when required for approving/declining the putting to the Cayman Company of new Investmentsproposed by the Investment Adviser, considering extraordinary items and the ongoing monitoring of theFund, and will convene at least quarterly during the life of the Fund to:

. ensure adherence to the Master Fund’s objectives;

. review Investments and strategy;

. review Master Fund performance, including quarterly performance, cash-flows and budgets; and

. review indicators and market commentary of European property markets and outlooks onunderlying real estate sectors.

The Investment Committee will have at least two members including, at all times, the Key Individual andan individual appointed by the Seed Investor. Dale Lattanzio (as the Key Individual) and AndrewWalker (as the individual appointed by the Seed Investor) have been appointed to the InvestmentCommittee and are its current members. The General Partner may appoint further members of theInvestment Committee.

All votes of the Investment Committee will be decided by majority consent, provided that the appointeesof the Investment Adviser and the Seed Investor may each veto any decision of the InvestmentCommittee.

42

Page 44: DUET REAL ESTATE FINANCE LIMITED - RNS Submit · Oriel Securities Limited Sole Sponsor, Financial Adviser and Bookrunner Prospectus 18 February 2011 DUET REAL ESTATE FINANCE LIMITED

In the event the Investment Committee rejects an investment put forward by the Investment Adviser,neither the Investment Adviser nor the Seed Investor nor any of their respective Associates, may acquirean interest in such investment.

The Advisory Committee

The Advisory Committee’s role is to oversee the activities of the Investment Adviser and the MasterFund. It shall meet when requested by the Master Fund, the Investment Committee or by any LimitedPartner (but, in any event, at least once in every calendar year) to carry out, amongst others, the followingtasks:

. to review any amendments to the investment objective, borrowings or other material terms of theMaster Fund’s investment strategy and to make recommendations with respect thereto to theInvestment Adviser and the Master Fund;

. to review any potential conflict between the Investment Adviser, or any of its Associates, and theMaster Fund and between the Master Fund and any other fund managed by the InvestmentAdviser, or any of its Associates;

. to review the Investment Adviser’s and General Partner’s adherence to the documentation relatingto the Master Fund, the Debt Strategy and the Master Fund’s hedging policy; and

. to review any valuation of the Investments and any investment proposal it may wish to review.

The function of the Advisory Committee shall be to consult with the Master Fund in relation to the abovematters. The Advisory Committee’s decisions are of an advisory nature only and the Master Fund is notrequired to follow any advice or recommendation of the Advisory Committee. The Advisory Committeehas no authority to take part in the management or control of the business of the Master Fund. TheAdvisory Committee has the power to approve appointments of one or more replacements to the KeyIndividual as detailed in paragraph 2.1 of Part 10 of this document.

Each member of the Advisory Committee has one vote in respect of any decision on which the AdvisoryCommittee holds a vote.

Each Limited Partner which has made a commitment of £25m or more in the Master Fund may appointone member of the Advisory Committee. The General Partner may use its discretion to allow investorswith a commitment of less than £25m to appoint a member to the Advisory Committee. Non-investorsmay be appointed as members of the Advisory Committee by the General Partner, provided that eachsuch appointment is first approved by the existing Limited Partner members of the Advisory Committee.The Company will have the right to appoint a member of the Advisory Committee. The Companyintends to exercise this right and intends to appoint one of the Directors to represent it on theAdvisory Committee.

The Advisory Committee will be formally established after the Final Closing Date.

Post Close Monitoring and Business Plan Execution

There will be ongoing reviews of the performance of each portfolio asset. A business plan will be createdfor each asset in order to maximise value by choosing the optimal exit plan. These will undergo periodicreview, to account for changing market conditions.

Suitable professional asset management firms will be engaged should foreclosure be viewed as the bestroute to realising value. The Principals will oversee the execution of the ‘‘hard asset’’ business plans andultimate exit.

Valuation & Reporting

The Investment Adviser will ascribe a valuation for each asset quarterly. Market values will be usedwhere visible markets exist. Loans made directly to borrowers for which no market exists will be valued atamortised cost. Values will be ascribed using IFRS. Third party valuations, market levels and othervaluation sources will be reviewed and audited as part of the annual audit.

Annual financial statements of the Master Fund prepared in accordance with IFRS will be made up to31 December in each year.

The Master Fund will issue a quarterly investor report setting out, inter alia, all cash flows received, anycapital inflows or outflows and the fair value and status of the Investments. The report will also present

43

Page 45: DUET REAL ESTATE FINANCE LIMITED - RNS Submit · Oriel Securities Limited Sole Sponsor, Financial Adviser and Bookrunner Prospectus 18 February 2011 DUET REAL ESTATE FINANCE LIMITED

the current position of the Master Fund with respect to the Master Fund’s guidelines and policies. Finallythe report will provide narrative about the market and deal pipeline. Each Limited Partner will receive anindividual statement showing its financial position in respect of its Interest.

Meetings of investors

Meetings of investors in the Master Fund shall be called at least once per year and at such other times asthe Master Fund, the Investment Adviser, the Advisory Committee or investors representing at least75 per cent of total commitments to the Master Fund may determine.

5. THE MASTER FUND’S CURRENT PORTFOLIO AND PIPELINE OF FUTURE ASSETS

Information in relation to the Master Fund’s current portfolio of Investments and its pipeline of potentialfuture Investments is set out in Part 5 of this document.

6. DISTRIBUTION POLICY

Policy

The Master Fund will make distributions of cash income (net of expenses), if any, quarterly, or morefrequently at its discretion.

Proceeds that are available for distribution shall be distributed in the following proportions and order ofpriority (the ‘‘Distribution Waterfall’’):

General

A number of actual and/or potential conflicts of interest may arise in relation to the Master Fund. In theevent that a conflict of interest does arise, the Master Fund will endeavour to ensure that it is resolvedfairly, taking into account the respective interests of the entities involved.

Composition of the Investment Committee

The Investment Committee will have at least two members including, at all times, the Key Individual andan individual appointed by the Seed Investor. Dale Lattanzio (as the Key Individual) and AndrewWalker (as the individual appointed by the Seed Investor) have been appointed to the InvestmentCommittee and are its current members. The General Partner may appoint further members of theInvestment Committee. A member of the Investment Committee may also serve on or occupy seniormanagement positions within the Investment Adviser or one or more Associates of the InvestmentAdviser. Given that the Investment Adviser may only proceed with a recommendation of an Investmentto the Master Fund if it has been approved by the Investment Committee, a member of the InvestmentCommittee may encounter conflicts of interest in his or her capacity as a director or employee of theInvestment Adviser or of an Associate of the Investment Adviser.

Allocation of investment opportunities

Where the Investment Adviser has recommended that the Master Fund should not proceed with aninvestment opportunity (irrespective of whether the decision was made on the grounds of any perceivedor actual conflicts of interest between the Master Fund and the Investment Adviser or between theMaster Fund and any one or more Associates of the Investment Adviser), then the Investment Adviser orany Associates of the Investment Adviser may not proceed with such investment opportunity for its ownaccount or for any of its clients (including any other funds that are managed or advised by the member orfor which the member is a general partner).

46

Conflicts associated with Investments

In relation to Investments made by the Master Fund, members and/or employees of the InvestmentAdviser may serve as directors of investee companies and, in that capacity, will be required to makedecisions that consider the best interests of the relevant company and its shareholders. In certaincircumstances, for example in situations involving insolvency or near-insolvency of a portfolio company,actions that may be in the best interests of that company may not be in the best interests of the MasterFund, and vice versa. Accordingly, in these situations, there will be conflicts of interests between such anindividual’s duties as a member or employee of the Investment Adviser and their duties as a director ofthe portfolio company.

Interests of different investors

Different Limited Partners may have conflicting investment, tax and other interests with respect to theirInterests. The conflicting interests may relate to or arise from, among other things, the nature andstructuring of the Investments and the method or timing of their disposal. Consequently, in selecting andstructuring investments appropriate for the Master Fund, the Investment Adviser may make decisionswhich may be more beneficial for one Limited Partner than for another Limited Partner. In this regard,the Investment Adviser will consider the investment, tax and other objectives of the Master Fund as awhole, not the investment, tax or other objectives of any Limited Partner individually.

Investors’ interests in the Investments

A Limited Partner, including the Limited Partner’s directors, officers, employees or their associates, mayseek to invest in any Investments directly or via a separate investment mandate with a third party adviser.In other circumstances, the Master Fund may be offered an opportunity to invest in a target portfoliocompany in which a Limited Partner and connected parties may hold pre-existing interests, or occupypositions on the board of directors of, or key management positions within, the target portfolio company.

Where the Master Fund and a Limited Partner hold interests in a portfolio company, they may haveconflicting interests and investment objectives including with respect to the operation of that portfoliocompany, the targeted returns from such Investment and the timeframe for and method of exiting theInvestment. The Limited Partner may also be able to access confidential information with respect to, andreceive greater returns on the performance of, the portfolio company than would otherwise be madeavailable to or enjoyed by Limited Partners as a whole.

Where a Limited Partner and connected parties are directors or key management executives of aportfolio company, they may have an even greater access to sensitive commercial information relating tothe operation and investment strategies of the relevant portfolio company, as compared to other LimitedPartners or even the Master Fund itself.

Conflicts management

Any conflicts of interest that arise between the Master Fund and/or the Limited Partners on the one hand,and the Investment Adviser and any of its Associates or clients (including any other funds managed bysuch entities) on the other hand, will be discussed and resolved on a case-by-case basis in accordance withthe Investment Adviser’s conflict management procedures. The Investment Adviser shall also consult theAdvisory Committee when it deems appropriate in relation to such conflicts of interest. The interests ofthe relevant parties and the circumstances giving rise to the conflict will be considered during thediscussion and will be reflected in the final decision taken.

Exclusivity and non-compete

The Investment Adviser has agreed pursuant to the Master Fund Investment Advisory Agreement thatuntil the earlier of, inter alia, (i) the date that 75 per cent of the commitments of Limited Partners to theMaster Fund have been drawn down, committed for investment or reserved for Follow-On Investmentsand (ii) the end of the Investment Period, that neither it nor any of its Associates will invest, advise ormanage a fund with an investment policy and restrictions that are substantially similar to the Master Fund(a ‘‘Successor Fund’’).

Once the date referred to above has passed, the Investment Adviser undertakes to ensure that anyinvestment opportunity which is suitable for both the Master Fund and a Successor Fund will be offeredfirst to the Master Fund. To the extent that an investment opportunity remains available followinginvestment by the Master Fund or having been offered to the Master Fund to the extent it was declined,then the Investment Adviser may offer such investment opportunity to a Successor Fund.

PART 8

TAXATION

1. GENERAL

The statements on taxation below are intended to be a general summary of certain tax consequences thatmay arise in relation to the Company and Shareholders. This is not a comprehensive summary of alltechnical aspects of the structure and is not intended to constitute legal or tax advice to investors.Prospective investors should familiarise themselves with, and where appropriate should consult their ownprofessional advisers on, the overall tax consequences of investing in the Company. The statements relateto investors acquiring Ordinary Shares for investment purposes only, and not for the purposes of anytrade. As is the case with any investment, there can be no guarantee that the tax position or proposed taxposition prevailing at the time an investment in the Company is made will endure indefinitely. The taxconsequences for each investor of investing in the Company may depend upon the investor’s own taxposition and upon the relevant laws of any jurisdiction to which the investor is subject.

2. GUERNSEY TAXATION

The Company

The Company has applied for exempt status for Guernsey tax purposes. In return for the payment of afee, currently £600, a registered closed-ended investment scheme, such as the Company, is able to applyannually for exempt status for Guernsey tax purposes. If exempt status is granted, the Company will notbe considered resident in Guernsey for Guernsey income tax purposes. A company that has exemptstatus for Guernsey tax purposes is exempt from tax in Guernsey on both bank deposit interest and anyincome that does not have its source in Guernsey. It is not anticipated that any income other than bankinterest will arise in Guernsey and therefore the Company is not expected to incur any additional liabilityto Guernsey tax.

In response to the review carried out by the European Union Code of Conduct Group, the State ofGuernsey abolished exempt status for the majority of companies with effect from January 2008 and hasintroduced a zero rate of tax for companies carrying on all but a few specified types of activity. However,because investment funds including closed-ended investment companies, such as the Company, were notone of the regimes in Guernsey that were classified by the European Union Code of Conduct Group asbeing harmful, investment funds including closed-ended investment companies continue to be able toapply for exempt status for Guernsey tax purposes after 31 December 2007. Therefore, the Company willbe entitled to apply, and intends to continue applying, for tax exempt status in Guernsey.

In keeping with its ongoing commitment to meeting international standards, the State of Guernsey iscurrently undertaking a review of its tax regime with the expectation of implementing any requiredrevisions to the regime in the period between 2012 and 2015. At this point in time, the key features of anyrevised regime have yet to be determined. It is currently not anticipated that there will be any change tothe current exemption for investment funds and as such the Company is expected to be able to remain taxexempt.

Guernsey currently does not levy taxes upon capital inheritances, capital gains, gifts, sales or turnover,nor are there any estate duties, save for an ad valorem fee for the grant of probate or letters ofadministration. No stamp duty is chargeable in Guernsey on the issue, transfer, or redemption of shares.

Shareholders

Shareholders will receive dividends without deduction of Guernsey income tax. Any Shareholders whoare resident for tax purposes in Guernsey, Alderney or Herm will incur Guernsey income tax on anydividends paid on Ordinary Shares owned by them but will suffer no deduction of tax by the Companyfrom any such dividends payable by the Company where the Company is granted exempt status. TheCompany is required to provide details of distributions made to Shareholders resident in the Islands ofGuernsey, Alderney and Herm to the Administrator of Income Tax in Guernsey.

Guernsey has introduced measures that are the same as the EU Savings Tax Directive. However, payingagents located in Guernsey are not required to operate the measures on payments made by closed endedinvestment companies such as the Company.

3. UNITED KINGDOM

The statements below relate to the UK tax implications of investing in the Company for (unlessspecifically stated otherwise) an individual who is resident, ordinarily resident and domiciled in the UK.The tax consequences may differ for investors who are not resident or ordinarily resident in the UK orare not domiciled in the UK for tax purposes. Investors and prospective investors should seek their ownprofessional advice as to this, as well as to any other relevant laws and regulations in the jurisdiction inwhich they are resident or domiciled for tax purposes. The statements are based on current tax legislationand HMRC practice, both of which are subject to change at any time, possibly with retrospective effect.The statements below apply in respect of investors who hold the Ordinary Shares as an investment andnot as part of a trade such as dealings in securities.

Taxation of the Company

The Directors intend to conduct the affairs of the Company in such a manner as to minimise, so far asthey consider reasonably practicable, taxation suffered by the Company. This will include conducting theaffairs of the Company to seek to ensure that it does not become resident in the UK for taxationpurposes. Accordingly, and provided the Company does not carry on a trade in the UK (whether or notthrough a permanent establishment situated therein) and is not centrally managed and controlled in theUK, the Company should not be subject to UK income tax or corporation tax other than on UKsource income.

Taxation of individuals

This paragraph provides general guidance for individual Shareholders who are UK resident andordinarily resident for UK tax purposes and who hold Ordinary Shares as investments and not astrading stock.

Individual Shareholders resident, ordinarily resident and domiciled in the UK will be liable to UKincome tax at their applicable marginal rates on dividend distributions made by the Company.Shareholders holding minority interests in the Company (being less than 10 per cent of the issued sharecapital) should be entitled to a non-refundable tax credit in respect of the dividend equal to one ninth ofthe dividend received. As at the date of this Prospectus, the marginal rates of income tax (including thenon-refundable tax credit) on dividend distributions made by the Company are: basic rate income taxpayers: 10 per cent, higher rate income tax payers: 25 per cent, and additional rate income tax payers: 36.1per cent.

UK Offshore Funds Rules

Following receipt of a non-statutory clearance from HMRC, the Directors consider that the Companyshould not constitute an ‘‘offshore fund’’ for the purposes of Part 8 of the Taxation (International andOther Provisions) Act 2010. This is because there can be no expectation that an investor will be able torealise his investment at or close to NAV, other than on an eventual winding up of the Company. Inaddition, all income received by the Company, after deduction for reasonable expenses, will be requiredto be paid to the Shareholders. "Income" is not defined for these purposes. It is generally held to be cashincome. The Company should, therefore, pay out everything it receives from the Master Fund. TheMaster Fund is a non-reporting fund under the UK’s offshore fund rules, and as such, everything that theMaster Fund (or more precisely the Cayman Company, as the Master Fund is "transparent" for UK taxpurposes) pays out (which would include interest on underlying investments, profits realised on sales ofassets, PIK interest, fees, and offshore income gains, but not returns of share capital) should be incomefor these purposes.

It follows that whatever income is received from the Master Fund by the Company should, to the extentpermissible under Guernsey corporate laws (and after deduction of reasonable expenses), be distributedto investors in the Company. Dividend distributions to Shareholders would be subject to income tax inaccordance with the Shareholder’s circumstances and at the rates set out above. The Company willundertake an exercise to determine whether what it has received is capital or income by reference to whatthe Cayman Company has received on the underlying Investments, such that income will be distributed asincome and returns of capital invested will, insofar as possible, be returned through a return of sharecapital (which should not be subject to tax).

On this basis, Shareholders should be subject to capital gains tax in accordance with their personalcircumstances on the disposal of the Ordinary Shares. Capital gains tax is payable at 18 per cent for basic

58

Page 60: DUET REAL ESTATE FINANCE LIMITED - RNS Submit · Oriel Securities Limited Sole Sponsor, Financial Adviser and Bookrunner Prospectus 18 February 2011 DUET REAL ESTATE FINANCE LIMITED

rate taxpayers and 28 per cent for higher rate taxpayers. UK tax resident individual Shareholders mayalso benefit from an annual exempt amount of £10,100 for the tax year 2010/11.

Transfer of Assets Abroad

Individual Shareholders should be aware of the provisions of Chapter II, Part XVIII of the Income TaxesAct 2007, which may in certain circumstances render them liable to UK income tax in respect ofundistributed income of the Company.

Close Company Provisions

Individual Shareholders should be aware that, if they hold or are treated as holding more than 10 per centof the Ordinary Shares in the Company and the Company would be treated as a ‘‘close’’ company if itwere resident in the UK, gains which are capital gains for the purposes of UK tax accruing to theCompany may be attributed to them if such gains are not distributed, pursuant to Section 13 Taxation ofChargeable Gains Act 1992.

Transactions in Securities

The attention of Shareholders is drawn to anti-avoidance legislation in Chapter 1, Part 13 of the IncomeTax Act 2007 that could apply if Shareholders are seeking to obtain tax advantages in prescribedconditions.

UK taxation of UK companies

Shareholders who are companies resident in the UK for UK taxation purposes may be able to rely onlegislation in Chapter 3 Part 9 of the Corporation Tax Act 2009 which exempts certain dividends from thecharge to UK corporation tax where certain conditions are met.

Controlled foreign companies (CFCs)

UK resident companies should note that where they (or they together with connected persons) have aninterest in the Company such that 25 per cent or more of the Company’s profits may be apportioned tothem, the provisions of Chapter IV Part XVII of the Income and Corporation Taxes Act 1988 in respectof controlled foreign companies could apply such that they may be liable to UK corporation tax in respectof their share of the Company’s undistributed profits. These provisions will only apply if the Company iscontrolled by UK residents. Investors should note that the controlled foreign companies regime is thesubject of ongoing consultation by the UK government and it is anticipated that legislation to introducefurther changes to the regime will be introduced by the Finance Bill 2012.

Stamp Duty and Stamp Duty Reserve Tax (‘‘SDRT’’)

No UK stamp duty or SDRT will be payable on the issue of the Ordinary Shares. UK stamp duty (at therate of 0.5 per cent of the amount of the value of the consideration for the transfer rounded up wherenecessary to the nearest £5) is payable on any instrument of transfer of Ordinary Shares executed within,or in certain cases brought into, the UK. Provided that all instruments effecting any transfer and allmatters or things done in relation to the transfer are not executed or performed in the UK, there will beno UK stamp duty payable on the transfer. Provided that the Ordinary Shares are not registered in anyregister of the Company kept in the UK and no Ordinary Shares are paired with any shares issued by acompany incorporated in the United Kingdom, any agreement to transfer Ordinary Shares should not besubject to UK stamp duty or SDRT.

If you are in any doubt as to your tax position you should consult your professional adviser.

ISAs/SIPPs

Investors who wish to hold investments as part of an ISA or SIPP should take their own tax advice inrelation to the eligibility of the Ordinary Shares for ISAs and SIPPs.

Ordinary Shares acquired through the offer for subscription should be eligible for inclusion in a stocksand shares ISA subject to applicable subscription limits. The annual ISA investment allowance is £10,200for the tax year 2010/11.

Ordinary Shares should be eligible for inclusion in a SIPP, subject to the discretion of the trustee orrequirements of the SIPP provider.

3.9 Pre-emption rights

There are no provisions under Guernsey Companies Law equivalent to section 561 of the UKCompanies Act 2006 which confer pre-emption rights on existing shareholders in connection withthe allotment of equity securities for cash or otherwise, but similar pre-emption rights (with certainexceptions) are contained within the Articles.

The Articles provide that, unless otherwise authorised by an extraordinary resolution, the Companyshall not allot equity securities (as defined in the Articles) on any terms unless (i) the Company hasfirst made an offer to each person who holds equity securities in the Company to allot to him, on thesame or more favourable terms, such proportion of those equity securities that is as nearly aspracticable (fractions being disregarded) equal to the proportion in number held by the relevantperson of the Ordinary Shares; and (ii) the period, which shall not be less than 21 clear days, duringwhich any offer referred to in (i) above may be accepted has expired or the Company has receivednotice of the acceptance or refusal of every offer made. A reference to the allotment of equitysecurities includes the grant of a right to subscribe for, or to convert any securities into, equitysecurities in the Company but does not include the allotment of any equity securities pursuant tosuch a right.

The pre-emption rights set out above shall not apply to:

(a) a particular allotment of equity securities if these are, or are to be, wholly or partly paid up orallotted otherwise than in cash or are allotted in whole or in part otherwise than for cash; or

(b) the allotment of equity securities which would, apart from a renunciation or assignment of theright of their allotment, be held under an employee share scheme;

The provisions of Chapter 5 of the Disclosure and Transparency Rules (as amended from time totime) (‘‘DTR 5’’) of the UK Financial Services Authority Handbook apply to the Company on thebasis that the Company is a ‘‘non-UK issuer’’, as such term is defined in DTR 5. As such, a person isrequired to notify the Company of the percentage of voting rights it holds as a shareholder or holdsor is deemed to hold through the direct or indirect holding of financial instruments falling withinDTR 5 if, as a result of an acquisition or disposal of shares (or financial instruments), the percentageof voting rights reaches, exceeds or falls below the relevant percentage thresholds being, in the caseof a non-UK issuer, 5, 10, 15, 20, 25 30, 50 and 75 per cent Pursuant to the Articles, DTR 5 isdeemed to apply to the Company as though the Company were a ‘‘UK issuer’’, as such term isdefined by DTR 5. As such, the relevant percentage thresholds that apply to the Company are 3, 4,5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10 per cent and each 1 per cent threshold thereafter up to 100 per cent notwithstandingthat in the absence of the Articles such thresholds would not apply to the Company.

There are no provisions under Guernsey Companies Law, that apply to the Company, equivalent tothose contained in Part 22 of the UK Companies Act 2006 (Disclosure of Interests in Shares).Accordingly, in order to make provision for the disclosure of interests, the Articles containprovisions which require members, in certain circumstances, to disclose interests in the shares ofthe Company.

The Company has the right, by service of notice in writing, to require a registered member todisclose to the Company the nature of his interest in shares in the Company held at such time or at

7. THE CITY CODE

Mandatory Takeover Bids

The City Code applies to all takeover and merger transactions in relation to the Company and operatesprincipally to ensure that shareholders are treated fairly, are not denied an opportunity to decide on themerits of a takeover and to ensure that shareholders of the same class are afforded equivalent treatment.The City Code provides an orderly framework within which takeovers are conducted and the Panel onTakeovers and Mergers has now been placed on a statutory footing.

73

Page 75: DUET REAL ESTATE FINANCE LIMITED - RNS Submit · Oriel Securities Limited Sole Sponsor, Financial Adviser and Bookrunner Prospectus 18 February 2011 DUET REAL ESTATE FINANCE LIMITED

The City Code is based upon a number of general principles which are essentially statements of standardsof commercial behaviour. General Principle One states that all holders of securities of an offereecompany of the same class must be afforded equivalent treatment and if a person acquires control of acompany, the other holders of securities must be protected. This is reinforced by Rule 9 of the City Codewhich requires a person, together with persons acting in concert with him, who acquires shares carryingvoting rights which amount to 30 per cent or more of the voting rights to make a general offer. ‘‘Votingrights’’ for these purposes means all the voting rights attributable to the share capital of a company whichare currently exercisable at a general meeting. A general offer will also be required where a person who,together with persons acting in concert with him, holds not less than 30 per cent but not more than50 per cent of the voting rights, acquires additional shares which increase his percentage of the votingrights. Unless the Panel consents, the offer must be made to all other shareholders, be in cash (or have acash alternative) and cannot be conditional on anything other than the securing of acceptances which willresult in the offeror and persons acting in concert with him holding shares carrying more than 50 per centof the voting rights.

Partner will be offered the choice as to whether to receive the Master Fund assets in specie or ascash.

The Special Limited Investor will escrow 50 per cent of amounts distributed to it pursuant to theDistribution Waterfall (less an amount required to meet any tax liability of the Special LimitedInvestor in relation to its Carried Interest entitlement). At the end of the life of the Master Fund, ifLimited Partners have not received distributions equal to the greater of (i) their drawn downcommitments and their Preferred Return; and (ii) their drawn down commitments plus an amountequal to 80 per cent of the excess of all distributions made to them and the Special Limited Investorover the aggregate amount of the drawn down commitment from Limited Partners, the escrowamount will be drawn and paid to Limited Partners (but not to the Special Limited Investor) tomeet the required shortfall amount. However if the escrow amount is insufficient to meet theshortfall the Special Limited Investor will not be required to make up any remaining shortfall.

EUROPEAN REAL ESTATE DEBT FUND L.P.A Cayman Islands Limited Partnership

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

1. Organisation

The European Real Estate Debt Fund L.P. (the “Partnership”), is a Cayman Islands registered limited partnership,incorporated on 2 January 2009 and commenced operations on 22 December 2009.

European Real Estate Fund (GP) Limited, (the “General Partner a Cayman Islands limited company, isGeneral Partner to the Partnership.

The Partnership has two subsidiaries as at December 31, 2010, the European Real Estate Debt Fund (Cayman) Ltd (the“Cayman Company”), a Cayman Islands registered limited company, incorporated on 4 December 2008 and theEuropean Real Estate Debt Fund S.à-r.l (the “Luxembourg Company”), a Luxembourg registered limited companyincorporated on 11 November 2009.

The Luxembourg Company is a wholly owned subsidiary of the Cayman Company, which is a wholly ownedsubsidiary of the Partnership. In addition and in order to meet the needs of certain Investors, feeder vehicles may alsobe created. The structure of the Partnership will allow participation in the Partnership by Investors, either directly orindirectly through feeder vehicles that may be established to meet specific legal, tax and regulatory needs of certaininvestors.

On 11 December 2009, the Partnership entered into a GB£400,000,000 loan facility with the Cayman Company, whichcan be used in whole or in part to fund lending by the Cayman Company to the Luxembourg Company and for generalcorporate purposes. As of 31 December 2010, the Cayman Company had drawn down GB£44,653,225 of the Partnershiploan facility, and the Luxembourg Company had drawn down GB£43,526,208 of the Cayman Company loan facility.

The Partnership’s strategy is to invest in and provide debt for commercial real estate primarily in the UK and Germanyand additionally in the rest of the EU, Norway and Switzerland. The Partnership will purchase existing loans and bondsat a discount from current lenders/owners as well as providing new financing directly to borrowers possibly inconjunction with other senior lenders. The Partnership might also participate in equity upside through hybrid structureswhilst benefiting from the downside protection of being a secured loan provider.

The General Partner has established an Investment Committee to review proposed transactions in order to assist thePartnership in making investment decisions. The Investment Committee will convene when required forapproving/declining new debt investments proposed by the Investment Advisor, extraordinary items and the ongoingmonitoring of the Partnership, and will convene, at least quarterly during the time up to the date falling 30 months fromthe first date the Partnership accepts applications and admit investors, or such earlier date as may be determined by thePartnership after at least 90% of the aggregate commitments have been invested, committed, allocated or reserved, (the“Investment Period”) to: (i) ensure adherence to the Partnership’s objectives, (ii) to review investments and strategy,(iii) to review Partnership performance, including quarterly performance, cash-flows and budgets, (iv) to reviewindicators and market commentary of European property markets and outlooks on underlying real estate sectors. TheGeneral Partner may extend the Investment Period by up to six months.

The Advisory Committee’s role is to oversee the activities of the Investment Advisor and the Partnership. It shall meetwhen requested by the Partnership, the Investment Committee or by any Investor (but, in any event, at least once inevery calendar year) to carry out, amongst others, the following tasks: (i) to review any amendments to the investmentobjective, borrowings or other material terms of the Partnership’s investment strategy and to make recommendationswith respect thereto to the Investment Advisor and the Partnership, (ii) to review any potential conflict between theInvestment Advisor, or any of its respective Associates and the Partnership and between the Partnership and any otherfund managed by the Investment Advisor, or any of its Associates, (iii) to review the Investment Advisor’s and GeneralPartner’s adherence to the Partnership documents and the debt strategy, (iv) to review any valuation of the investmentsand any investment proposal it may wish to review.

The function of the Advisory Committee is to consult with the Partnership in relation to the above matters. TheInvestors agree that the Advisory Committee’s decisions are of an advisory nature only and the Partnership shall not berequired to follow any advice or recommendation of the Advisory Committee. In particular the Advisory Committee

EUROPEAN REAL ESTATE DEBT FUND L.P.A Cayman Islands Limited Partnership

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

1. Organisation (continued)

Once the Partnership has been closed to investors, at least 70% of the Partnership’s total investments will be invested inthe largest and most mature real estate markets in Western Europe, being the UK and Germany. The remainder (if any)will be invested elsewhere in the EU, Norway and Switzerland.

The Partnership will terminate five years from the Initial Closing Date unless extended at the discretion of the GeneralPartner for a maximum of two years and one month by the addition of a one year period and a one year and one monthperiod.

2. Significant accounting policies

The principal accounting policies applied in the preparation of the Partnership’s financial statements are set out below.These policies have been consistently applied to all the years presented, unless otherwise stated.

Basis of preparation

The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Financial ReportingStandards (“IFRS”). The consolidated financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention, asmodified by the revaluation of financial assets and financial liabilities (including derivative financial instruments) at fairvalue through profit or loss.

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standardsrequires the Directors to make certain critical accounting estimates and judgements that affect the reported amounts ofassets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and thereported amounts of income and expenses during the year. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

The Consolidated Statement of Financial Position presents assets and liabilities in decreasing order of liquidity and doesnot distinguish between current and non-current items.

Basis of consolidation

The Partnership has adopted IAS 27: Consolidated and Separate Financial Statements. These annual audited consolidatedfinancial statements consolidate the financial statements of the Partnership. The Partnership has consolidated its interest inthe Cayman Company and the Luxembourg Company on the basis that it has the power to exercise control over bothoperations. All intercompany transactions and balances between the Partnership, Cayman Company and LuxembourgCompany have been eliminated.

Foreign currency translation

(a) Functional and presentation currency

Items included in the Partnership’s financial statements are measured using the currency of the primaryeconomic environment in which it operates (the ‘functional currency’). This is the UK Pound, which reflects thePartnership’s investor commitments that are in GB£. The Board of Directors considers the UK Pound as thecurrency that most faithfully represents the economic effects of the underlying transactions, events andconditions. The presentation currency is the same as the functional currency in these financial statements.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements (continued)

2. Significant accounting policies (continued)

Foreign currency translation (continued)

(b) Transactions and balances

Foreign currency transactions are translated into the functional currency using the exchange rates prevailing atthe dates of the transactions. Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the settlement of suchtransactions and from the translation at year-end exchange rates of monetary assets and liabilities denominatedin foreign currencies are recognised in the Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income account. Proceedsfrom subscriptions and amounts paid on redemption of redeemable shares are translated using the exchangerates prevailing at the dates of the transactions. Translation differences on non-monetary financial assets andliabilities held at fair value through profit or loss are recognised in the Consolidated Statement ofComprehensive Income as part of the net gain/loss on financial assets and liabilities at fair value through profitor loss.

Financial assets and liabilities at fair value through profit or loss

The Partnership has designated its investments in debt instruments and derivatives as financial assets or financialliabilities at fair value through profit or loss at inception.

(i) Financial assets and liabilities held for trading

Financial assets and liabilities are classified as held for trading if it is acquired or incurred principally for thepurpose of selling or repurchasing in the near term. These also include derivatives such as forward contracts asthe Partnership does not designate any derivatives as hedges in a hedging relationship.

(ii) Financial assets and liabilities designated at fair value through profit or loss at inception

Financial assets and liabilities designated at fair value through profit or loss at inception are financialinstruments that are not classified as held for trading but are managed, and their performance is evaluated on afair value basis in accordance with the Partnership’s documented investment strategy. These includecommercial real estate debt. Short sales are classified as financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss.

(b) Recognition and derecognition

Regular purchases and sales of investments are recognised on the trade date - the date on which the Partnership commitsto purchase or sell the assets. Financial assets and liabilities at fair value through profit or loss at inception are initiallymeasured at fair value with transaction costs for such instruments being recognised directly as expense in theConsolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income.

Financial assets are derecognised when the rights to receive cash flows from the assets have expired or the Partnershiphas transferred substantially all risks and rewards of ownership.

Subsequent to initial recognition, all financial assets and financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss aremeasured at fair value. Gains and losses arising from changes in the fair value of the ‘financial assets or financialliabilities at fair value through profit or loss’ category are presented in the Consolidated Statement of ComprehensiveIncome within net gains and losses in fair value of financial assets and liabilities at fair value through profit or loss in theperiod in which they arise.

(c) Measurement

Subsequent to initial recognition, all financial assets and liabilities at fair value through profit or loss are measured atfair value with changes in their fair value recognised in the Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income in theyear in which they arise.

(i) Commercial Mortgage Backed Securities

The Investment Advisor will ascribe a valuation for each asset quarterly. Market values will be used wherevisible markets exist. Loans directly to borrowers for which no markets exists will be valued at amortised cost.Third party valuations, market levels and other valuation sources will be reviewed and audited as part of theannual audit.

(ii) Forward Currency Contracts

A forward currency contract is a commitment between the Partnership and a counterparty to make or takedelivery of a fixed amount of a specified foreign currency at a predetermined future date at a specific price. Ateach valuation, the difference between the contract price and the current forward rate for contracts of the samematurity is used to calculate the unrealised gain or loss of the Partnership’s forward currency contracts. Theunrealised gain or loss on forward currency contracts is calculated by reference to the difference between thecontracted rate and the market rate to close out such contracts and is included in the Consolidated Statement ofFinancial Position and in the Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income, as are all such realised gainsand losses.

(d) Fair value estimation

The fair value of financial assets and liabilities traded in active markets (such as publicly traded derivatives and tradingsecurities) are based on quoted market prices at the balance sheet date. The quoted market price used for financial assetsis the current bid price while the appropriate quoted market price for financial liabilities is the current asking price. Whenthe Partnership holds derivatives with offsetting market risks, it uses bid prices as a basis for establishing fair values forthe offsetting risk.

Restricted cash accountCash collateral provided by the Partnership is identified in the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position as restrictedcash account. Initial restricted cash deposits are made upon entering into swap interest rate contracts and are generallymade in cash or cash equivalents. Variations in restricted cash payments are made or received on traded swaps as dailyappreciation or depreciation occurs.

For collateral other than cash, if the party to whom the collateral is provided has the right by contract or custom to sell orrepledge the collateral, the Partnership classifies that asset in its Consolidated Statement of Financial Position separatelyfrom other assets and identifies the asset as pledged collateral. Where the party to whom the collateral is provided doesnot have the right to sell or repledge, a disclosure of the collateral provided is made in the notes to the financialstatements.

Cash equivalents are short term, highly liquid investments withoriginal maturities of 3 months or less that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and which are subject toinsignificant changes in value, and are held for the purpose of the meeting short-term cash commitments rather than forinvestments or other purposes. Bank overdrafts are shown in current liabilities in the Consolidated Statement of financialPosition.

Offsetting financial instrumentsFinancial assets and liabilities are offset and the net amount reported in the Consolidated Statement of Financial Positionwhen there is a legally enforceable right to offset the recognised amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis,or realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.

TaxationThe Partnership is exempt from all forms of taxation in the Cayman Islands, including income, capital gains andwithholding taxes. In jurisdictions other than the Cayman Islands, in some cases foreign taxes (withholding or capitalgains) will be withheld at source on certain interest received by the Partnership.

Set-up costsThe initial set up costs will be borne by the Fund, provided that the Fund will not pay more than £1m.

3. Risk Associated with Financial Instruments

The Partnership is exposed to market risk (including currency risk, interest rate risk and price risk), credit risk andliquidity risk arising from the financial instruments it holds. The risk exposure of the Partnership, is set out as follows:

The Partnership maintains active trading positions in a variety of derivative and non-derivative financial instruments asdictated by its investment management strategy.

The Partnership’s investing activities expose it to various types of risk that are associated with the financial instrumentsand markets in which it invests.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements (continued)

3. Risk Associated with Financial Instruments (continued)

The Partnership’s assets and liabilities comprise financial instruments which include:

Loan assets. These are held with the Partnership’s investment objectives and policies; Commercial mortgage backed securities. These are held with the Partnership’s investment objectives and policies; Borrowings, the main purpose of which is to raise finance for the Partnership’s investment activities; Cash, liquid resources and short-term debtors and creditors that arise directly from its investment activities; and Derivative transactions which the Partnership enters into principally forward currency contracts, the purpose of which

is to manage the currency risk arising from the Partnership’s investment activities.

The nature and extent of the financial instruments outstanding at the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position dateand the risk management policies employed by the Partnership are discussed below. There can be no assurance that thePartnership will achieve its investment objective.

Market price riskMarket price risk arises mainly from uncertainty about future prices of financial instruments held. It represents thepotential loss the Partnership might suffer through holding market positions in the face of price movements. The keydrivers for changes in the market price of investments are changes in the actual or perceived value of the real estateassets securing investments. The Investment Advisor attempts to reduce this risk through careful underwriting andtransaction selection to focus on better quality deals that it feels will be less susceptible to negative market movements.

The Partnership’s overall market positions are managed on a weekly basis by the Investment Advisor and are monitoredon a quarterly basis by the Board of Directors.

At 31 December 2010, the fair value of financial assets and related derivatives exposed to price risk amounts toGB£28,929,848.

The Partnership is exposed to price risk from its holding of commercial mortgage backed securities If pricesincreased/(decreased) by 10%, with all other variables held constant, net assets would increase /(decrease) byGB£1,257,422.

Interest riskThe Partnership holds cash balances, loans and commercial mortgage backed securities which are interest bearing. Assuch the Partnership is exposed to risks associated with the effects of fluctuations in the prevailing levels of marketinterest rates on its holdings. The instruments in which the Partnership invests are largely not very interest rate sensitive.Loans generally carry a high rate of cash pay interest reducing their sensitivity to interest rates, whilst the commercialmortgage backed securities carry floating rates of interest that are generally reset quarterly. The Investment Advisor mayseek to hedge any floating rate coupons to fixed rate via swaps in order to reduce the variability of its income.

Currency riskThe Partnership invests in securities and other investments that are denominated in currencies other than the functionalcurrency of the Partnership. Accordingly, the value of the Partnership’s assets may be affected favourably orunfavourably by fluctuations in the currency rates and therefore the Partnership will necessarily be subject to foreignexchange risks.

Balances in non-functional currencies typically occur on the realisation of gains/loss on the investments.

The Partnership’s overall currency risk is managed on a weekly basis by the Investment Advisor. In compliance with thePartnership’s offering document the Board of Directors are ultimately responsible for controlling the risk.

Credit riskCredit risk within the fund is largely related to the tenants that occupy the properties that form the security for the fundsreal estate loan investments. Investments are generally structured as loans to bankruptcy remote SPV’s that own theproperties the Investments are secured against. In this context the borrower is the SPV and their resources to service thefinance provided by the fund come from the lease cashflows paid by the buildings tenants and the value of the real estateitself. Actual counterparty risk for the fund is solely related to its derivate hedging counterparties. It is the Partnership’spolicy to enter into financial instruments with a range of reputable counterparties. Therefore the Partnership does notexpect to incur material credit losses on its financial instruments.

The Partnership’s maximum exposure to credit risk (not taking into account the value of any restricted cash or othersecurity held) in the event that counterparties fail to perform their obligation as of 31 December 2010 in relation to eachclass of recognised financial assets, other than derivatives, is the carrying amount of those assets as indicated in theNotes 3 and 5

With respect to derivative financial instruments, credit risk arises from the potential failure of counterparties to meettheir obligations under the contract or arrangement.

The Partnership is not restricted from dealing with any particular counterparty or from concentrating any or all of itstransactions with one counterparty, subject to the investment restrictions in the private placement memorandum.

The investments of the Partnership have no credit ratings.

The Partnership may be adversely impacted by an increase in its credit exposure related to investing, financing, and otheractivities. The Partnership is exposed to the potential for credit-related losses that can occur as a result of an individual,counterparty or issuer being unable or unwilling to honour its contractual obligations. These credit exposures exist withinfinancing relationships, commitments, derivatives and other transactions. These exposures may arise, for example, froma decline in the financial condition of a counterparty, from entering into swap or other derivative contracts under whichcounterparties have obligations to make payments to us, from a decrease in the value of securities of third parties that thePartnership holds as collateral, or from extending credit through guarantees or other arrangements. As the Partnership’scredit exposure increases, it could have an adverse effect on the Partnership’s business and profitability if materialunexpected credit losses occur.

3. Risk Associated with Financial Instruments (continued)

Credit risk (continued)

Real Estate Value RiskThe fund’s investments are principally exposed to changes in the value of the underlying real estate that forms thesecurity for its investments. The value of real estate is affected by a number of different variables including generaleconomic factors such as employment, interest rates and inflation, aswell as property specific issues such as the level ofrent, tenant defaults and the supply and demand for comparable properties. The Investment Adviser analyses theappropriate amount of leverage applicable to different property types by determining the riskiness of the property and itscashflows. The amount of leverage can be expressed as the loan to value ratio (the “LTV"). This ratio compares the totalamount of debt outstanding against a property versus the market value of the property. Thus a property worth £100mmthat has £60mm of debt outstanding secured against it, has an LTV ratio of 60%. The funds’ typical investments have anLTV ratio of between 70% to 75%, with an absolute maximum of 80%.

In accordance with the Partnership’s policy, the Investment Advisor monitors the Partnership’s credit position on a dailybasis, and the Board of Directors reviews it on a quarterly basis.

Liquidity riskThe Partnership invests mainly in illiquid assets. The main liquidity requirements of the Partnership are related to anyrestricted cash requirements for its derivative hedges. The fund is a closed end fund with no ability for the investors toredeem their committed capital.

In accordance with the Partnership’s Policy, the Investment Advisor monitors the Partnership’s liquidity position on adaily basis and the Board of Directors review it on a quarterly basis.

The table below analyses the Partnership’s financial liabilities and net settled derivative financial liabilities into relevantmaturity groupings based on the remaining period at the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position date to thecontractual maturity date. The amounts in the table are the contractual undiscounted cash flows. Balances due within 12months equal their carrying balances, as the impact of discounting is not significant.

4. Fair value of financial instruments

The following table shows financial instruments recognised at fair value, analysed between those whose fair value isbased on:

Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1);

Those involving inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability,either directly (as prices) or indirectly (derived from prices) (Level 2); and

Those with inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs)(Level 3).

The level in the fair value hierarchy within which the fair value measurement is categorised in its entirety is determinedon the basis of the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. For this purpose, thesignificance of an input is assessed against the fair value measurement in its entirety. If a fair value measurement usesobservable inputs that require significant adjustment based on unobservable inputs, that measurement is a Level 3measurement. Assessing the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement in its entirety requiresjudgement, considering factors specific to the asset or liability.

The determination of what constitutes ‘observable’ requires significant judgement by the Partnership. The Partnershipconsiders observable data to be that market data that is readily available, regularly distributed or updated, reliable andverifiable, not proprietary, and provided by independent sources that are actively involved in the relevant market.

The following table analyses within the fair value hierarchy the Partnership’s financial assets and liabilities (by class)measured at fair value at 31 December 2010.

4. Fair value of financial instruments (continued)

Financial instruments that trade in markets that are not considered to be active but are valued based on quoted marketprices, dealer quotations or alternative pricing sources supported by observable inputs are classified within Level 2.These include money market funds and over-the-counter derivatives (e.g. forward foreign currency contracts). As Level2 investments include positions that are not traded in active markets and/or are subject to transfer restrictions, valuationsmay be adjusted to reflect illiquidity and/or non-transferability, which are generally based on available marketinformation.
