We are delighted to welcome such an experienced investor as the Company's largest shareholder. We believe that their purchase validates the attractiveness of both the Company's differentiated approach to investing in CLOs and senior secured loans, as well as its structure, which provides for the distribution to Shareholders of both income and realised capital. I would also like to take this opportunity to thank GLI for being such a supportive shareholder during the Company's IPO and subsequently."

Fair Oaks Income Fund Limited
Fair Oaks Income Fund Limited (the "Company") is an authorised closed-ended investment company incorporated in Guernsey. The Company was admitted to trading on the Specialist Fund Market of the London Stock Exchange on 12 June 2014. The Company's ordinary shares have the TIDM: FAIR and ISIN: GG00BMBN1D14.
The investment policy of the Company is to seek exposure to US and European CLOs or other vehicles and structures which provide exposure to portfolios consisting primarily of US and European floating-rate senior secured loans and which may include non-recourse financing. The Company will implement its investment policy by investing in the Master Fund.
The investment objective of the Company is to generate attractive, risk-adjusted returns, principally through income distributions. The Company announced on 16 January 2015 that (1) on the basis of income projections as at that date, the Board planned to declare eleven monthly dividends of a minimum of 0.7 US cents per share* and a larger twelfth interim dividend such that, in the opinion of the Directors, substantially all net income generated by the Company in 2015 is distributed to shareholders; and (2) the Company will continue to target an annual net total return of 12-14%* over the planned life of the Master Fund and it is expected that dividends will constitute the principal element of the return to the Company's shareholders.
\* This is a target only and not a profit forecast. There can be no assurance that this target will be met or that the Company will make any distributions at all. This target return should not be taken as an indication of the Company's expected or actual current or future results. The Company's actual return will depend upon a number of factors. Shareholders and potential investors should decide for themselves whether or not the return is reasonable and achievable.
