ATLANTIS JAPAN GROWTH FUND LIMITED (the "Company")

(A closed-ended investment company incorporated in Guernsey with registration number 30709)

Appointment of Tiburon Partners LLP as Investment Adviser

1 March 2012

The Directors of the Company are pleased to announce that the Investment Manager AFMG Limited (formerly Atlantis Fund Management (Guernsey) Limited) has appointed Tiburon Partners LLP ("Tiburon Partners") as Investment Adviser in London in place of Atlantis Investment Management Limited ("AIML"). This is subsequent to a reorganisation of the ownership of the Atlantis companies whereby Ed Merner and the staff of Atlantis Investment Research Corporation ("AIRC") have become the controlling shareholders of AFMG and have relinquished any interest in AIML. The Company is party to this appointment pursuant to an Investment Advisory Agreement dated 27th February 2012 between AFMG Limited, the Company and Tiburon Partners LLP. The appointment will take effect from 29th February 2012. 

AIRC's role, as Sub-Adviser in Tokyo, under Ed Merner's leadership, will remain unchanged. Taeko Setaishi continues as assistant fund adviser and Sean Lenihan, who joined AIRC in August 2011, will also assist with fund advisory responsibilities. Research support for the team will be provided by Robert Burghart, appointed research director in February 2012.

Tiburon Partners LLP is an FSA authorised and regulated fund management business with a strong Asian focus.

The Board believes that Tiburon Partners' objectives are well aligned to those of the Company and will complement the services provided by AFMG and AIRC very well.
