Close AllBlue Fund Limited 12 September 2007 12 September 2007 Close AllBlue Fund Limited (the 'Company') PORTFOLIO UPDATE The Company notes the announcement issued by BlueCrest Capital Management Limited on Friday 7 September 2007 as follows: ************************************************************************** BlueCrest Capital Management today announces the decision to close two equity investment funds, the BlueCrest Equity Fund Limited and BlueCrest Equity Fund LP, after a period of unacceptable performance. The funds, totalling $550 million, which sought to achieve investment returns through bottom-up stock selection within a market-neutral framework, are estimated to be down approximately 8% year-to-date as at August 31, despite having been broadly flat for the year in mid-July. A spokesman for BlueCrest said that 'Although the funds have generated a total net return of approximately 17% since inception in 2004, recent performance has been disappointing and the decision has therefore been taken to begin the process of closing the Funds, which have already been de-risked to a very great extent. BlueCrest manages over $11 billion and we anticipate asset outflows of less than $100 million as a result of these decisions, as the majority of the invested capital will be reallocated to other BlueCrest strategies where we see greater opportunities.' ************************************************************************** The Board announces that AllBlue Limited, in which substantially all of the Company's assets are invested, had invested 16.5% of its gross assets in the BlueCrest Equity Fund Limited as at close of business on 7 September 2007. The Company also advises that the next monthly conference call with Jonathan Martin of Bluecrest Capital Management Limited will take place on 13 September 2007 at 11.00 a.m. Shareholders wishing to participate in the conference call should contact the Shareholder Liaison Agent, Close Investments Limited, on 44 (0)800 269 824 for dial in details.
