Result of Firm Placing and Placing and Open Offer

On 19 December 2011, the Company announced its intention to raise gross proceeds of up to £200 million by way of a Firm Placing and Placing and Open Offer of up to approximately 200 million 2012 Shares in Better Capital 2012 Cell at 100 pence per 2012 Share with 158,244,920 2012 Shares through the Firm Placing and up to 41,356,190 2012 Shares through the Placing and Open Offer.

The Open Offer has now closed in accordance with its terms and the Company announces that it has received valid acceptances under the Open Offer in respect of 6,516,975 Open Offer Shares from Qualifying Shareholders, representing a take-up of approximately 15.76 per cent. of the Open Offer Shares. All applications for additional Open Offer Shares under the Excess Application Facility were accepted.

Of the remaining 34,839,215 Open Offer Shares, representing 84.24 per cent. of the Open Offer Shares, 5,100,000 have been allocated to certain institutional shareholders and other investors with whom they had been conditionally placed by Numis Securities.

11,616,975 2012 Shares will therefore be issued under the Placing and Open Offer. In addition, 158,244,920 2012 Shares will be issued through the Firm Placing.

A total of 169,861,895 2012 Shares will therefore be issued under the Firm Placing and Placing and Open Offer raising gross proceeds of £169,861,895 (estimated £165,986,000 net of expenses). It is expected that the net proceeds will be transferred to Better Capital Fund II within five days of Admission. Following Admission the Better Capital 2012 Cell will consist of 169,861,895 2012 Shares with an estimated Net Asset Value per 2012 Share (unaudited) of 97.7 pence.
