The undersigned issuer hereby undertakes to withdraw this Form 15F if, at any time before the effectiveness of its termination of reporting under Rule 12h-6, it has actual knowledge of information that causes it reasonably to believe that, at the time of filing the Form 15F:
(1) The average daily trading volume of its subject class of securities in the United States exceeded 5 percent of the average daily trading volume of that class of securities on a worldwide basis for the same recent 12-month period that the issuer used for purposes of Rule 12h-6(a)(4)(i);

(3) It otherwise did not qualify for termination of its Exchange Act reporting obligations under Rule 12h-6.
Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, GEROVA Financial Group, Ltd. has duly authorized the undersigned person to sign on its behalf this certification on Form 15F. In so doing, GEROVA Financial Group, Ltd. certifies that, as represented on this Form, it has complied with all of the conditions set forth in Rule 12h-6 for terminating its registration under section 12(g) of the Exchange Act, or its duty to file reports under section 13(a) or section 15(d) of the Exchange Act, or both.
