Notice of EGM

BACIT LIMITED (a closed-ended investment company incorporated in Guernsey with registration number 55514) (the "Company") 25 November 2014 Notice of Extraordinary General Meeting to approve amendment to investment policy to facilitate investment in CRT Pioneer Fund LP A Circular, including a notice of an extraordinary general meeting of the Company to be held at 3 p.m. on 15 December 2014 regarding an amendment to the Company's investment policy (the "Investment Policy") to facilitate a proposed investment in CRT Pioneer Fund LP (the "Pioneer Fund"),is being sent to shareholders today. The Pioneer Fund is an English limited partnership, managed by Sixth Element Capital LLP ("Sixth Element"). The Pioneer Fund's investment policy is to invest in projects and intellectual property assets with a life science or medical technologies focus related to oncology, including therapeutics and diagnostics. Through these investments the Pioneer Fund aims to enable the commercialization of innovative scientific research or prototypes arising primarily but not exclusively from the network of research centres, research groups or individual researchers associated with Cancer Research UK for the benefit of cancer patients globally. The Company's Investment Policy currently permits it to invest up to one per cent. per annum of the Company's net asset value to acquire interests in drug development and medical innovation projects undertaken by the Institute of Cancer Research or its subsidiaries in the field of cancer research and therapeutics which have the potential for commercial development and application ("ICR Projects"). The Company now has an opportunity to invest in the Pioneer Fund which will allow it to benefit from the expertise of Sixth Element in investments relevant to this part of its Investment Policy. Payments to the Pioneer Fund will be counted as investments in ICR Projects for the purpose of the one per cent. of net asset value limit on amounts that may be invested annually in ICR Projects. It is possible, but unlikely, that in any one year (and after taking account of any uninvested amounts carried over from previous years) payments to the Pioneer Fund may be required to exceed this limit.Unlike the Company's other investments, the investment in the Pioneer Fund would not be made on a "fee free" basis. As the proposed investment into the Pioneer Fund and the terms on which it would be made do not fall precisely within the Investment Policy, shareholders are being asked to approve an amendment to the Investment Policy to permit the Group's investment in the Pioneer Fund as set out in more detail in the Circular. A copy of the Circular will shortly be available on the Company's website at http://www.bacitltd.com . The Circular has also been submitted to the National Storage Mechanism and will shortly be available for inspection at www.morningstar.co.uk/uk/nsm .
