| COMPANY BUSINESS (INCLUDING MAIN COUNTRY OF OPERATION) OR, IN THE CASE OF |
| AN INVESTING COMPANY, DETAILS OF ITS INVESTING STRATEGY). IF THE |
| ADMISSION IS SOUGHT AS A RESULT OF A REVERSE TAKE-OVER UNDER RULE 14, THIS |
| SHOULD BE STATED: |
+----------------------------------------------------------------------------+
| Brookwell is an AIM-listed, Guernsey registered, closed-ended investment |
| company which was formed to provide value and liquidity for its |
| shareholders from a portfolio of AIM securities and Listed securities |
| (together "Qualifying Securities"). The Existing Shares, which have been |
| renamed "A Shares" pursuant to the EGM of the Company held on 29 January |
| 2009, were admitted to trading on AIM in two tranches, the first on 26 |
| June 2008 and the second on 17 July 2008. The Company is an investing |
| company for the purposes of the AIM Rules. |
| The Directors and the Investment Manager believe that there is an |
| opportunity to acquire further Qualifying Securities in exchange for the |
| issue of new Shares which are proposed to be named "B Shares". The |
| Qualifying Securities, added to the existing assets of the Company, would |
| provide a broader base from which to recover certain costs of the Company, |
| thereby potentially enhancing the NAV per A Share. |
| It is proposed that the Company acquire from financial institutions |
| Qualifying Securities up to a value of GBP75 million, in consideration for |
| which the Company will issue new B Shares, pursuant to the Placing, at a |
| price of 100p per Share. The Placing will take the form of an Initial |
| Placing, which is expected to close on 6 February 2009, and a Supplemental |
| Placing, which is expected to close on 27 February 2009. The Initial |
| Placing is conditional on the Company acquiring Qualifying Securities to a |
| value of at least GBP10 million. The Supplemental Placing is conditional |
| on the maximum number of Shares issued pursuant to the Initial Placing and |
| the Supplemental Placing not exceeding 75 million. |
| In the interests of the Shareholders the Company reserves the right not to |
| accept securities which are unlikely to be saleable at a reasonable value |
| even with the application of expertise and effort. To this end, the |
| Company has adopted a number of mandatory and discretionary criteria for |
| the exclusion of certain securities from the Company's B Class Fund, |
| details of which are set out in the admission document. The Company may |
| acquire AIM Securities and Listed Securities which satisfy the criteria. |
| There are no mandatory restrictions on the business or geographical |
| sectors of investee companies. Although the Directors expect that most of |
| the companies in the B Class Fund will have a market capitalisation of |
| less than GBP100 million, there are no criteria relating to minimum |
| or maximum market capitalisation in determining whether securities are |
| Qualifying Securities. |
| Following the Placing, the Company will acquire no further equity |
| securities except that it may exchange investments for other Qualifying |
| Securities if, in the opinion of the investment manager, this would |
| provide a better prospect of value and liquidity for the Company. |
| At an EGM of the Company, held on 29 January 2009, Existing Shareholders |
| passed a resolution to adopt the Amended Articles which provide, inter |
| alia, for the implementation of a class fund structure which is described |
| further below. |
| The assets of the Company immediately prior to the Placing (and any income |
| arising from, and the proceeds from realisation of, such assets) will be |
| attributed to a Class Fund (the A Class Fund) whilst Qualifying Securities |
| obtained pursuant to the Placing (and any income arising from, and the |
| proceeds from realisation of, such Qualifying Securities) will be |
| attributed to a separate Class Fund (the B Class Fund). |
| Progressive AIM Realisation Limited ("PARL"), an investment management |
| company authorised and regulated by the Financial Services |
| Authority, manages the existing portfolio and has been retained to |
| manage the B Class Fund. |
| Following the Placing PARL will perform an evaluation of the Company's B |
| Class Fund in order to assess the most appropriate strategy for each |
| investment. PARL expects that whilst some investments may be considered |
| appropriate for sale in the shorter term, other investments will be held |
| for a longer period with the aim of successfully realising their inherent |
| value. |
| PARL will be flexible in its strategy in relation to a particular |
| investment. The strategy may need to be altered to reflect changes in |
| market conditions or changes in the circumstances relating to |
| that Investment. Accordingly, regular reviews will be held to address the |
| current position of the Company's unrealised holdings and the portfolio |
| risk. |
