(Incorporated in Guernsey under The Companies (Guernsey) Law, 2008, as amended, with registered number 58123 and registered as a Registered Closed-ended Collective Investment Scheme with the Guernsey Financial Services Commission)

POTENTIAL SHARE ISSUE

Fair Oaks Income Limited (the "Company") announces that new 2017 Shares ("New Shares") are being made available under the placing programme established in the Company's prospectus dated 6 March 2017. 

The proceeds of this placing are intended to be used as funding for a newly originated opportunity to make a primary investment of between $21m to $35m in a CLO equity security. The potential total return for this investment as estimated by the general partner of Master Fund II is between 15% and 17% per annum (see Note 1), supported by an expected 200+ unique bank loan issuers and attractive debt funding. 

The issue price per New Share is expected to be $1.00, which represents a premium of approximately 2.0% to the NAV per 2017 Share as at 31 August 2017 (less the monthly interim dividend of 0.7 US cents declared on 25 August 2017 which will not be payable on the New Shares).  

The Issue is available to Qualified Investors, who are invited to apply for New Shares through the Company's corporate broker, Numis, on the contact details below. The Issue is expected to close at 17:00 on 28 September 2017, with admission of the New Shares scheduled on 2 October 2017. 

The closing date and the size of the Issue, and the decision to allot New Shares to any Qualified Investor, will be determined at the absolute discretion of the Company and Numis. Application will be made to the London Stock Exchange for the New Shares to be admitted to trading on the Specialist Fund Segment of the Main Market.
