NB GLOBAL FLOATING RATE INCOME FUND LIMITED (GBP): Annual Financial Report

16 April 2015

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
FINAL RESULTS ANNOUNCEMENT

THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS OF NB GLOBAL FLOATING RATE INCOME FUND LIMITED ANNOUNCES FINAL RESULTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2014

A copy of the Company's Annual Report and Consolidated Financial Statements is attached, and will be posted to the shareholders of the Company.

Company Overview

The investment objective of NB Global Floating Rate Income Fund Limited (the "Company") is to provide its shareholders with regular dividends, at levels that are sustainable, whilst preserving the capital value of its investment portfolio, utilising the investment skills of Neuberger Berman Europe Limited (the "Investment Manager") and Neuberger Berman Fixed Income LLC (the "Alternative Investment Fund Manager").

To pursue its investment objective, the Company invests mainly in floating rate senior secured loans issued in U.S. Dollars, Sterling and Euros by primarily North American and European Union corporations, partnerships and other business issuers. These loans are at the time of investment often non-investment grade. The Company considers debt instruments to be non-investment grade if, at the time of investment, they are rated below the four highest categories (Aaa, Aa, A and Baa) by at least two independent credit ratings agencies or, if unrated, are deemed by the Investment Manager to be of comparable quality.

For the purposes of efficient portfolio management, the Company has established a wholly-owned Luxembourg incorporated subsidiary, NB Global Floating Rate Income Fund (Lux) 1 S.à.r.l. which in turn holds a wholly-owned subsidiary, NB Global Floating Rate Income Fund (Lux) 2 S.à.r.l. Part of the portfolio of the Company is held through NB Global Floating Rate Income Fund (Lux) 2 S.à.r.l. All references to the Company in this document refer to the Company together with its wholly-owned Luxembourg subsidiaries.

Non-Mainstream Pooled Investments

Suitability for Retail Distribution

The Board notes the changes to the Financial Conduct Authority's ("FCA") rules relating to the restrictions on the retail distribution of unregulated collective investment schemes and close substitutes which came into effect on 1 January 2014.

The Board has been advised that the Company would qualify as an investment trust if it were resident in the UK, and therefore the Board believes that its shares are excluded from the restrictions contained in the new rules. It is the Board's intention that the Company will make all reasonable efforts to continue to conduct its affairs in such a manner so that its shares can be recommended to ordinary retail investors in accordance with the FCA's rules relating to non-mainstream pooled investment products.

The Board has however been advised that no guidance on the application of the proposed rules to non-UK companies has been published by the FCA and, further, that the proposed rules may be subject to change. Any subsequent changes to the assessment of the application of the proposed rules to the Company will be communicated via a Regulatory Information Service ("RIS") announcement.

Chairman's Statement

Dear Shareholder,

It is my pleasure to present to you the Annual Report of NB Global Floating Rate Income Fund Limited ("the Company") for the year ended 31 December 2014.

Portfolio and Company Performance
Building on the solid start that your Company has made since April 2011, the Board remains satisfied with the progress made by the Investment Manager during 2014. The portfolio remains fully invested, with a strong US bias. As of 31 December 2014, 94.14% of the Company was invested in US Dollar denominated assets, with 2.28% invested in Euro denominated assets and 3.58% in Sterling denominated assets (all excluding cash).

The Investment Manager has constructed a diversified portfolio of loan investments, across currencies, ratings and sectors. At the end of the reporting period, the portfolio had 267 holdings across 206 issuers in 33 different sectors (2013: 234 holdings across 177 issuers in 34 different sectors).

Between 31 December 2013 and 31 December 2014, the Company's NAV per share fell by 2.38% and 2.47% for the U.S. Dollar Ordinary Shares and Sterling Ordinary Shares, respectively. The NAV return plus dividends paid during the year was 1.23% and 1.16% for the U.S. Dollar Ordinary Shares and Sterling Ordinary Shares, respectively. As at 31 December 2014, the share price was trading at a premium of 1.53% for the U.S. Dollar Ordinary Shares and 2.10% for the Sterling Ordinary Shares.

During 2014, the dividend yield on dividends paid was 3.64% (based on the 31 December 2014 share price of $1.0013) and 3.65% (based on the 31 December 2014 share price of £0.9975) for the U.S. Dollar Ordinary Shares and Sterling Ordinary Shares, respectively, which we believe is relatively attractive given market conditions during the year and is consistent with the Company's objective of targeting income generation whilst seeking to preserve investors' capital and giving protection against rising interest rates.

Other Matters
On 21 January 2014, the Company's Sterling C Shares merged with the Sterling Ordinary Shares. The Sterling C Shares were issued late 2013 to seek to manage the premium at which the Company's Ordinary Shares traded, given the high level of demand.

Outlook for the Rest of the Financial Year
Looking to 2015, your Board continues to be satisfied with the portfolio's performance to date and the strategy that is being applied by the Investment Manager, albeit, it notes the very strong returns of the US and UK treasury / gilt markets during the year 2014. It is in that context that the Board note the Company's shares moved to a modest discount to NAV post year end and a number of share buybacks have taken place in the Sterling share class to ensure price continues to be reflective of underlying NAV. Notwithstanding this, the Board continues to believe that the strategy is well placed to deliver the attractive risk-adjusted returns expected particularly as the US economy continues to recover and it looks increasingly likely US rate rises will be forthcoming. The Investment Manager will continue to update you on the Company's progress by way of the quarterly fact sheets and Investment Manager updates.

Reflecting the increased size and complexity of the Company and to assist in managing the additional workload, we announced an addition to the Board. We welcomed Rupert Dorey as the new independent Non-Executive Director on 1 March 2015.

I would like to close by thanking you for your continued commitment and I look forward to updating you on the Company's progress later on this year.

Investment Manager's Report

Market Environment

The US loan market, as measured by the S&P/LSTA Leveraged Loan Index (the "Index"), returned 1.60% for 2014, which was below our full-year estimate of 3%-5%. Performance for the first half of the year was in line with expectations (+2.6%) but we saw a combination of eroding technicals and falling oil and gas prices affect returns in the second half of 2014. In December alone, the Index lost 1.25%, bringing the fourth quarter's loss to -0.51%, following the third quarter's -0.47%.

On the technicals side, a strong M&A market produced a 22% increase in new supply as the US loan market grew to a record $831 billion in 2014. Demand from the CLO market was healthy throughout the year and 234 deals were printed, totalling $124 billion, beating 2006's $97 billion record. On the retail side, however, demand waned as long-term interest rates decreased. Between January 2013 and March 2014, retail loan fund AUM increased by $84 billion, to a record $175 billion. In the nine months since, however, this receded by an estimated $32 billion as some investors had global growth concerns, duration fatigue set in, and the 10-year Treasury yield fell steadily from a multi-year high of 3.04% at year-end 2013 to close 2014 at 2.17%.

Falling oil prices did have an impact on the energy sector, but the decline in the broader loan market so far has been limited when compared to high-yield and equities, due to its smaller weight in the Index (4.5% compared to 16% for the BAML High Yield Index and 8.5% for the S&P 500). That said, the loan market's oil and gas sector produced a -10% return for the year (including -9% in December) and shaved 55 basis points from full-year returns. The Company was significantly underweight to this sector at only 1.3%.

For the year, lower-quality issuers outperformed their higher-quality counterparts: CCC-rated issuers returned 6.09% versus B and BB-rated issuers, which returned 1.43% and 1.52% respectively. The S&P Loan 100 Index, the constituents of which are more akin to the Company (larger, more liquid issuers), returned 0.99%.

In Europe, the S&P European Leveraged Loan Index ("ELLI") recorded a full-year 2014 return of 2.99%, with 0.11% recorded during the final quarter. Whilst performance was better in Europe than in the US during the year, the fourth quarter was when we evidenced more of a divergence. The technical aspects of the US market brought Europe down in sympathy, as did the concern over plummeting oil prices, but the absence of retail outflows and the sustained CLO bid limited some of that downside. During 2014, we saw record post-crisis CLO issuance of €14.5 billion in Europe, almost double that seen in 2013.

European institutional loan issuance grew to €49 billion for the year versus €37 billion in 2013, another post-crisis high. Despite this, repayments continued to be received and the ELLI contracted to close 2014 at €98.3 billion, the lowest level since October 2013.

Since 2009, there have generally been better new issue yields available in Europe as opposed to the US, but in 2014 this started to change (for example, in the fourth quarter, 2014 yields widened 57 bps to 471 bps in the US, whereas Europe improved 43 bps to 464 bps). Post crisis, we have only seen five quarterly examples where this has happened, with two occurring in 2014, the second and fourth quarters.

US default activity was minimal during the year as only five issuers defaulted on $22 billion of loans with Energy Futures (TXU) accounting for $20 billion of this number. Excluding it, the default rate ended 2014 at its lowest level since 2011 at 0.34% by amount and 0.50% by number, significantly less than the historical averages of 3.92% and 2.92% respectively. Since the year end, we have seen one other large default, Caesars, which is the sixth-largest loan defaulter on record, at $5.4 billion, and lifts the loan default rate amount by approximately 70 bps.

The European default rate closed out the year at 4.9% and, whilst it had been higher during the year, was up on the 2.9% recorded at the end of 2013. This increase was primarily related to the defaults of Vivarte, a French retailer, and Autobar, a UK vending machine business, in the first half of the year and, as with Energy Futures in the US, we considered these defaults as exceptions rather than a trend. At the time of default together they accounted for approximately 2.5% of the ELLI.

Portfolio Management

The portfolio remains fully invested and we continue to take advantage of global opportunities. As at 31 December 2014, 94.14% (excluding cash) was invested in U.S. Dollar denominated assets with the remaining 5.86% invested in Euro and Sterling denominated assets. The Company's exposure to non-U.S. assets has reduced from 11.85% as at 31 December 2013 as we rotated the portfolio out of some of the European positions we held and into the significantly cheaper US market.

Our bond allocation dropped from 8.71% (excluding cash) at the end of 2013 to 2.62% at 31 December 2014. During the first half of the year we reduced our exposure as bond spreads tightened and, whilst they did widen again in the second half, we chose to invest in attractively priced new issue loans which also assisted in limiting duration in the portfolio.

With regards to exposure by rating segment we remained overweight in single B assets, a consistent theme since the Company's incorporation. The weighted average rating of the portfolio remained at B+.

You will note that within the statement of operations under 'Net realised gain on derivatives' and 'Net change in unrealised (depreciation) / appreciation on derivatives' that there are gains of $13,539,314 and loss of $98,935,336 respectively on these positions. We would like to highlight that this is as a result of share class hedging and is not as a result of investments held within the portfolio. The Company maintains forward foreign exchange transactions in order to hedge against the impact of foreign exchange fluctuations on the Company's NAV. The main purposes of hedging the financial instruments are (i) to mitigate the effect of foreign exchange movements on the value of non U.S. Dollar denominated investments by the Company and (ii) to mitigate the effect of foreign exchange movements on the Sterling value of shareholders' investments in the Sterling share class.

Outlook

We continue to believe that the fundamentals for investing in the loan asset class remain favourable.
Most companies in our investable universe continue to exhibit strong earnings, free cash flow, and solid liquidity and leverage profiles. Furthermore, with minimal maturities over the next three years, we see very few catalysts for a sharp increase in the default rate during 2015. We expect the US default rate by issuer to remain below 2% and Europe in the 3%-5% range.

Performance will continue to be coupon driven with downside risk again coming from any exogenous shocks which could return us to a "risk off" environment and create further outflows from the asset class. These flows could be reversed as we move closer to interest rate rises, particularly in the US.

Strategic Report

Principal Activities and Business Review

The principal activity of the Company is to carry out business as an investment company. The Directors do not envisage any changes in this activity for the foreseeable future.

The following review is designed to provide information primarily about the Company's business, the principal risks and uncertainties it faces and results for the year. The review should be read in conjunction with the Chairman's Statement and with the Investment Manager's Report, which give a detailed review of the investment activities for the year and an outlook on the future.

Structure

The Company is a Guernsey Registered Closed-ended Collective Investment Scheme pursuant to the Protection of Investors (Bailiwick of Guernsey) Law 1987, as amended, and the Registered Investment Scheme Rules 2008 issued by the Guernsey Financial Services Commission. It was incorporated and registered with limited liability in Guernsey on 10 March 2011, with registration number 53155.

The Company commenced business on 15 April 2011 when the initial 107,220,280 U.S. Dollar Ordinary Shares and 243,973,227 Sterling Ordinary Shares were admitted with a premium listing to the Official List of the UK Listing Authority (the "UKLA") and commenced trading on the Main Market of the London Stock Exchange on 20 April 2011.

On 30 September 2011, the Company raised an additional $187 million by means of a Placing and Offer for Subscription of C Shares. On 21 March 2013 and 24 October 2013 the Company raised an additional $550 million and $705 million respectively by means of a Placing and Offer for Subscription of C Shares. On 22 July 2013, through a tap issue, the Company raised gross proceeds of $69 million.

The Company is a member of the Association of Investment Companies (the "AIC") and is classified within the Debt Category.

The Directors are presenting consolidated results for the Group, but use the term "Company" throughout this report to describe the consolidated results and activities of the Group, which include the results of its Luxembourg subsidiaries.

Investment Objective

Investment Policy

The coupon received when investing in floating rate loans varies with, and is periodically adjusted to reflect changes in, a generally recognised base interest rate such as LIBOR. The Company generally seeks to focus on loans of issuers that the Investment Manager believes have the ability to generate cash flow through a full business cycle, maintain adequate liquidity, possess an enterprise value in excess of senior debt and have access to both debt and equity capital.

The Company also makes investments in senior bonds on an opportunistic basis if the Investment Manager believes that such investments are attractively valued, up to a maximum in aggregate of 20% of the Net Asset Value at the time of investment, provided that no more than 10% of Net Asset Value may be invested in unsecured senior bonds at the time of investment.

Diversification

The Investment Manager seeks to manage risk through in-depth credit research utilising proprietary analytic processes, diversifying across industries, companies and investment size and adjusting sector weightings based on economic and market analysis.

The Company's portfolio of investments is intended to represent at least 100 investments across a minimum of 20 industries, with a focus on those industries regarded as defensive. Defensive industries are those the Investment Manager believes are less affected by changes in economic conditions and likely to demonstrate the strongest capital preservation.

Typically, no industry will represent more than 15% of Net Asset Value at the time of investment. No single investment will, at the time such investment is made, represent more than 5% of Net Asset Value.

Gearing and Derivatives

The Company does not normally employ gearing or derivatives for investment purposes. The Company may, from time to time, use borrowings for share buy backs and short-term liquidity purposes. The Directors will restrict borrowing to an amount not exceeding 20% of the Net Asset Value at the time of drawdown. Derivatives are used for foreign exchange hedging purposes and the US Dollar exposure for sterling shareholders is explained in Note 2 of the financial statements.

Principal Risks and Uncertainties

The Board is responsible for the Company's system of internal financial and operating controls and for reviewing its effectiveness. The Board also monitors the investment limits and restrictions set out in the Company's investment objective and policy.
The principal risks and uncertainties that have been identified and the steps taken by the Board to mitigate these areas are as follows:

Credit Risk
The key risk for the Company remains Credit Risk i.e. that the Investment Manager buys a loan or bond of a particular Issuer and it does not perform as expected and either defaults on a payment or experiences a significant drop in the secondary market value.

To mitigate this risk, the Investment Manager carries out extensive, independent due diligence on each borrower, and has a particular focus on stable, performing credits that evidence strong track records through previous economic cycles. Additionally, the size of an Issuer is also considered and the Investment Manager continues to favour the larger issuers in the market, defined by having debt issuance greater than $500m or equivalent in sterling or euros. These issuers tend to have broader syndicates, which can aid liquidity in the secondary market. As well as screening out the smaller issuers, the Investment Manager also excludes highly cyclical industries and companies with limited earning visibility from its Investment Process.

Once a particular investment has been made, the Investment Manager is very focused on the monitoring of it. A range of relevant data is reviewed on an ongoing basis for each investment, including, but not limited to, key financial drivers, commodity prices, stock prices, regulatory developments, financial results, press releases and management commentary to identify any indicators of credit deterioration.

To manage this risk further, the Board ensures a diversification of investments with the Investment Manager operating in accordance with the investment limits and restrictions policy determined by the Board. The Directors monitor the implementation and results of the investment process with the Investment Manager at each quarterly Board meeting and monitor risk factors in respect of the portfolio.

Liquidity Risk
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will not be able to meet its obligations as and when these fall due. Liquidity risk is managed by the Investment Manager to ensure that the Company maintains sufficient working capital in cash or near cash form so as to be able to meet the Company's ongoing requirements as these are budgeted for.

Level of Discount or Premium
A discount or premium to NAV can occur for a variety of reasons, including market conditions or to the extent investors undervalue the management activities of the Investment Manager or discount their valuation methodology and judgment. While the Directors may seek to mitigate any discount to NAV per Share through the discount management mechanisms set out in the Prospectus, there can be no guarantee that they will do so or that such mechanisms will be successful.

Fund Performance below Benchmark
The Company's performance could fall below the performance of the benchmark for a variety of reasons including market conditions. The investment manager has robust processes in place and monitors the underlying investments on a daily basis. The Board receive detailed updates from the Investment

Switch of Administrator
The Company switched administrator on 1 March 2015. A two month parallel run was conducted prior to the transition becoming effective. The investment manager and the Board ensured that all processes and controls in place were adequate. The Board will continue to monitor the new administrator in line with the parameters adopted with the previous administrator.

Accounting, Legal and Regulatory
The Company must comply with the provisions of The Companies (Guernsey) Law, 2008 (as amended) and, since its shares are admitted to listing on the Official List of the UK Listing Authority and to trading on the Main Market of the London Stock Exchange, the Company is subject to the FCA's Listing, Disclosure and Transparency Rules. A breach of the legislation could result in the Company and/or the Directors being fined or subject to criminal proceedings. A breach of the Listing Rules could result in the suspension of the Company's shares. The Board relies on its company secretary and advisers to ensure adherence to the Guernsey legislation and the FCA's rules. The Investment Manager, the Company Secretary and the Administrator are contracted to provide investment, company secretarial, administration and accounting services through qualified professionals. The Board receives regular internal control reports from the Administrator that confirm compliance.

Management, Registrar, Administration, Custody and Company Secretarial Arrangements

Investment management services are provided to the Company by Neuberger Berman Europe Limited. Neuberger Berman Fixed Income LLC was appointed as the Company's Alternative Investment Fund Manager ("AIFM") on 17 July 2014.

The management fee is accrued daily at a stepped rate of 0.65%-0.75% depending on the Company's NAV and is paid quarterly in arrears. No performance fee is payable by the Company to the Investment Manager.

The Investment Management Agreement can be terminated by the Company on one hand or the Investment Manager and AIFM, on the other, but in certain circumstances, the Company would be required to pay compensation to the Investment Manager of six months' management charges. No compensation is payable if notice of termination of more than six months is given.

Secretaries Limited, a wholly owned subsidiary of Carey Commercial Limited, was appointed as Company Secretary. Registrar services are provided by Capita Registrars (Guernsey) Limited.

Related Party Transactions

The contracts with Neuberger Berman Europe Limited and the Directors are the only related party transactions currently in place. Other than fees payable in the ordinary course of business, there have been no material transactions with these related parties, which have affected the financial position or performance of the Company in the financial year.

Further details on related party transactions can be found under Note 4 to the financial statements.

Financial Review

At 31 December 2014, the Net Assets of the Company amounted to $1,950,175,572 (2013: $2,113,304,793) . The Net Asset Value attributable to the U.S. Dollar Ordinary shares amounted to $59,335,724 (2013: $51,804,234) and the Net Asset Value per U.S. Dollar Ordinary share was $0.9862 (2013: $1.0102). The Net Asset Value attributable to the Sterling Ordinary shares amounted to £1,212,666,057 ($1,890,839,848) (2013: Ordinary shares: £825,991,161 ($1,367,998,301) and C shares: £418,735,325 ($693,505,258)) and the Net Asset Value per Sterling Ordinary share was £0.9770 (2013: Ordinary shares: £1.0018 and C shares: £0.9839).

Dividends

The Company pays dividends to Shareholders equal to the cash income it receives less its running costs paid in that year, subject to the solvency test prescribed by Guernsey law. Distributions are made by way of dividends with respect to each calendar quarter. Dividends are paid in the currency of the class of shares in respect of which the dividend was declared.

The Articles of Incorporation also permit the Directors, in their absolute discretion, to offer a scrip dividend alternative to Shareholders when a cash dividend is declared from time to time. In the event a scrip dividend is offered, an electing Shareholder is issued new, fully paid up shares (or shares reissued from treasury) pursuant to the scrip dividend alternative, calculated by reference to the higher of (i) the prevailing average mid-market quotation of the shares on the Daily Official List of the London Stock Exchange over five trading days; or (ii) the Net Asset Value per Share, at the relevant time. The scrip dividend alternative is available only to those Shareholders to whom shares might lawfully be marketed by the Company. The Directors' intention is not to offer a scrip dividend at any time that the shares trade at a material discount to the Net Asset Value per Share.

The below table relates to the quarterly dividends during the year:

Period	Date Declared	Payment Date	Dividend per U.S. Dollar Share	Dividend per Sterling Share
Quarter ended 31 March 2014	4 April 2014	27 May 2014	$0.00860	£0.00860

Quarter ended 31 December 2014	30,277	181,999	$0.99520	£0.97040

Performance Measurement and Key Performance Indicators

In order to measure the success of the Company in meeting its objectives and to evaluate the performance of the Investment Manager, the Directors take into account the following performance indicators:

Returns and NAV - The Board reviews at each meeting the performance of the portfolio as well as the NAV, income and share price of the Company;

Discount/premium to NAV - At each quarterly Board meeting, the Board monitors the level of the Company's discount or premium to NAV and reviews the average discount/premium for the Company's peer group. The Company publishes a NAV per share for both share classes on a daily basis through the official newswire of the London Stock Exchange. This figure is calculated in accordance with the AIC's guide which includes current financial year revenue, the same basis as that calculated for the financial statements;

The Directors examine the revenue forecast quarterly and consider the yield on the portfolio and the amount available for distribution; and

The Board considers the peer group performance of other income funds at each quarterly Board meeting.

Gender Metrics

The Board consists of three men and one woman. More information on the Board's consideration of diversity is given in the Corporate Governance Report.

Going Concern

Going concern refers to the assumption that the Company has the resources to continue in operation for the foreseeable future. After analysing the following, the Directors believe that it is appropriate to adopt the going concern basis in preparing these consolidated financial statements:

1. Working capital - As at 31 December 2014, there was a temporary working capital deficit of approximately $28 million (This deficit has been cleared as at 31 March 2015), however, the Directors noted that as at 31 December 2014 (i) the gross investment income for the period from 1 January 2014 to 31 December 2014 was approximately $96m and (ii) the Company had no borrowings. As such the board believes the Company has sufficient capital to cover all expenses (which mainly consist of Investment Manager's fees, Administration fees and Professional fees) and to meet all of its obligations as they fall due.

2. Closed-ended Company - The Company has been registered with the Guernsey Financial Services Commission as a Registered Closed-ended Collective Investment Scheme, as such there cannot be any shareholder redemptions, and therefore no cash flows out of the Company in this respect.

3. Investments - The Company has a tradeable portfolio, therefore the investments can be sold for cash.

Based on the above assessments, the Directors are of the opinion that the Company is able to meet its liabilities as they fall due for payment because it has and is expected to maintain, adequate cash resources. Given the nature of the Company's business, the Directors have a reasonable expectation that the Company has adequate financial resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Accordingly, these consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis.

The going concern statement required by the Listing Rules and the AIC Code is set out above.

Life of the Company

The Company does not have a fixed life. However, under Article 51 of the Articles of Incorporation (the "Articles"), the Directors have to convene an extraordinary general meeting of the Company at certain anniversaries of Admission and, at such meeting, propose an Ordinary Resolution that the Company continues its business as a closed-ended investment company. The first Continuation Resolution, which fell due on or before the third anniversary of Admission, was passed on 19 March 2014. The Directors are next required to convene an extraordinary general meeting to propose a further Continuation Resolution on or before the sixth anniversary of Admission. The Directors will convene a general meeting to propose a further Continuation Resolution every year thereafter.

If a Continuation Resolution is not passed, the Directors are required to put proposals to shareholders for the restructuring or reorganisation of the Company.

Discount Controls

As set out in the Articles, if, as at 31 December in any calendar year, the Shares of a particular class have, on average over the last three calendar months of the relevant calendar year (the ''Discount Calculation Period''), traded on the London Stock Exchange at a discount in excess of 5% to the Net Asset Value per Share of that class, the Directors will, subject to any legal or regulatory requirements, implement a redemption offer (the ''Redemption Offer'') pursuant to which each holder of Shares of the relevant class shall be offered the opportunity to redeem up to 50% of their Shares of such class. This provision was not triggered at 31 December 2014.

Buybacks
At the annual general meeting of the Company held in June 2014, the Directors were granted the general authority to purchase in the market up to 14.99% of the Ordinary Shares of each class in issue (as at 18 June 2014). This authority will expire at the forthcoming Annual General Meeting ("AGM"). The Directors intend to seek annual renewal of this authority from the Shareholders.

Pursuant to this authority, and subject to the Companies (Guernsey) Law, 2008 and the discretion of the Directors, the Company may purchase Ordinary Shares of a particular class in the market on an ongoing basis with a view to addressing any imbalance between the supply of and demand for Ordinary Shares of such class, thereby increasing the Net Asset Value per Ordinary Share of that class and assisting in controlling the discount to Net Asset Value per Ordinary Share of that class in relation to the price at which the Ordinary Shares of such class may be trading.

The Company re-purchased 15,429,672 Ordinary Sterling shares in 23 tranches between 16 February 2015 and 15 April 2015, to be held in treasury. Further details on these transactions can be found in the subsequent events note.

Disclosure of Information to Auditors

The Directors who were members of the Board at the time of approving this Report are listed. Each of those Directors confirms that:

to the best of his or her knowledge and belief, there is no information relevant to the preparation of their report of which the Auditors are unaware; and
he or she has taken all steps a Director might reasonably be expected to have taken to be aware of relevant audit information and to establish that the Company's auditors are aware of that information.

Global Greenhouse Gas Emissions

The Company has no greenhouse gas emissions to report from its operations for the year to 31 December 2014 (2013 - none), nor does it have responsibility for any other emission producing sources.

Corporate Governance Report

Applicable Corporate Governance Codes

The Board of the Company has considered the principles and recommendations of the AIC Code of Corporate Governance (the "AIC Code"), by reference to the AIC Corporate Governance Guide for Investment Companies (the "AIC Guide"), both published in February 2013. The AIC Code, as explained by the AIC Guide, addresses all the principles set out in the UK Corporate Governance Code ("UK Code"), published in September 2012, as well as setting out additional principles and recommendations on issues that are of specific relevance to the Company. The 2013 AIC Code came into effect for financial years ending on or after 30 September 2013.

The Board considers that reporting against the principles and recommendations of the AIC Code, and by reference to the AIC Guide (which incorporates the UK Code), will provide better information to shareholders. Copies of the AIC Code and the AIC Guide can be found at www.theaic.co.uk.

On 1 January 2012, the Guernsey Financial Services Commission's ("GFSC") "Finance Sector Code of Corporate Governance" came into effect. The GFSC have stated in their Code that companies which report against the UK Code or the AIC Code are deemed to meet their Code, and need take no further action.

On 17 September 2014 the Financial Reporting Council ("FRC") confirmed further changes to the UK Code and supporting guidance which will apply to reporting periods beginning on or after 1 October 2014. The AIC Code and AIC Guide were updated in February 2015 to reflect the updates made to the UK Code. The first annual reports that will need to comply will have year ends of 30 September 2015. The Company will report against the 2015 version of the AIC Code for the year ended 31 December 2015.

Corporate Governance Statement

Throughout the year ended 31 December 2014 the Company has complied with the recommendations of the AIC Code and the relevant provisions of the UK Code, except as set out below.

The UK Code includes provisions relating to:

The role of the chief executive
Executive Directors' remuneration
Internal audit function

For the reasons set out in the AIC Guide, and as explained in the UK Corporate Governance Code, the Board considers these provisions are not relevant to the position of the Company, being an externally managed investment company. In particular, all of the Company's day-to-day management and administrative functions are outsourced to third parties. As a result, the Company has no executive Directors, employees or internal operations. The Company has therefore not reported further in respect of these provisions.

The Directors believe that this report and financial statements presents a fair, balanced and understandable assessment of the Company's position and prospects, and provides the information necessary for shareholders to assess the Company's performance, business model and strategy.

The Company complies with the corporate governance statement requirements pursuant to the FCA's Disclosure and Transparency Rules by virtue of the information included in the Corporate Governance section of the annual report together with information contained in the Strategic Report and the Directors' Report.

Board Independence and Composition

The Board, chaired by William Frewen who is responsible for its leadership and for ensuring its effectiveness in all aspects of its role, currently consists of four non-executive Directors. The biographical details of the Directors holding office at the date of this report are listed, and demonstrate a breadth of investment, accounting and professional experience. Mr Battey as Chairman of the Audit Committee acts as Senior Independent Director when necessary. However, the Board considers that all the Directors have different qualities and areas of expertise on which they may lead where issues arise and to whom concerns can be conveyed. The balance and independence of our Board is kept under review by the Remuneration and Nomination Committee, details of which can be found.

The Chairman and all Directors are all currently independent of the Company's Investment Manager, the Company Secretary and the Administrator. The Directors consider that there are no factors, as set out in the AIC Code, which compromise the Directors' independence and that they all contribute to the affairs of the Company in an adequate manner. The Board reviews the independence of all Directors annually.

The Company Secretary, C.L. Secretaries Limited through its representative acts as Secretary to the Board and Committees and in doing so it:

assists the Chairman in ensuring that all Directors have full and timely access to all relevant documentation;
organises induction of new Directors; and
is responsible for ensuring that the correct Board procedures are followed and advises the Board on corporate governance matters.

Directors' Appointment

No Director has a service contract with the Company. Directors have agreed letters of appointment with the Company, copies of which are available for review by shareholders at the Registered Office and will be available at the Annual General Meeting. William Frewen, Richard Battey and Sandra Platts have served since incorporation of the Company. Rupert Dorey has served since 1 March 2015. Any Director may resign in writing to the Board at any time.

In accordance with the AIC Code, as a FTSE 250 company, all Directors will be subject to re-election annually by shareholders. The Remuneration and Nomination Committee reviewed the independence, contributions and performance of all Directors during the 2014 Board Evaluation process and have determined that it is in the best interests of the Company to propose that all Directors are proposed for re-election. As Rupert Dorey was appointed on 1 March 2015, he will be subject to election at the 2015 AGM, being the first AGM since his appointment.

Board Responsibilities

The Board meets at least four times each year and deals with the important aspects of the Company's affairs including the setting and monitoring of investment strategy, and the review of investment performance. The Investment Manager and AIFM take decisions as to the purchase and sale of individual investments, in line with the investment policy and strategy set by the Board. The Investment Manager together with the Company Secretary also ensures that all Directors receive, in a timely manner, all relevant management, regulatory and financial information relating to the Company and its portfolio of investments. Representatives of the Investment Manager attend each Board meeting, enabling Directors to question any matters of concern or seek clarification on certain issues. Matters specifically reserved for decision by the full Board have been defined and a procedure adopted for Directors in the furtherance of their duties to take independent professional advice at the expense of the Company, this is available on the Company's website www.nbgfrif.com.

Tenure of Non-Executive Directors

The Board has adopted a policy on tenure that is considered appropriate for an investment company. The Board does not believe that length of service, by itself, leads to a closer relationship with the Investment Manager or necessarily affects a Director's independence. The Board's tenure and succession policy seeks to ensure that the Board is well balanced and will be refreshed from time to time by the appointment of new Directors with the skills and experience necessary to replace those lost by Directors' retirements. Directors must be able to demonstrate their commitment to the Company. The Board seeks to encompass relevant past and current experience of various areas relevant to the Company's business. Since the year ended 31 December 2014, the Board has appointed Rupert Dorey as an additional Director, which will assist the Board in managing the increased workload of the Company and is part of the Company's succession planning.

	Date first elected by shareholders	Years from first election to 2015 AGM	Considered to be independent by the Board
William Frewen	June 2012	3	Yes
Richard Battey	June 2012	3	Yes
Rupert Dorey	-	0	Yes
Sandra Platts	June 2012	3	Yes

Re-election of Directors

William Frewen, Richard Battey and Sandra Platts submit themselves for re-election at the AGM to be held on 17 June 2015. The Remuneration and Nomination Committee confirmed to the Board that the contributions made by the Directors offering themselves for re-election at the AGM on 17 June 2015 continue to be effective and that the Company should support their re-election. Being the first AGM since his appointment, Rupert Dorey submits himself for election at the AGM on 17 June 2015.

Conflict of Interests

Directors are required to disclose all actual and potential conflicts of interest to the Board as they arise for consideration and the Board may impose restrictions or refuse to authorise conflicts if deemed appropriate. The Directors have undertaken to notify the Company Secretary as soon as they become aware of any new potential conflicts of interest that would need to be approved by the Board. Only Directors who have no material interest in the matter being considered will be able to participate in the Board approval process.

It has also been agreed that the Directors will advise the Chairman and the Company Secretary in advance of any proposed external appointment.

None of the Directors had a material interest in any contract, which is significant to the Company's business. The Directors' Remuneration Report provides information on the remuneration and interests of the Directors.

Board Diversity

The Board considers that its members have a balance of skills and experience which are relevant to the Company. The Board supports the recommendations of the Davies Report and believes in the value and importance of diversity in the boardroom but it does not consider it is appropriate or in the interests of the Company and its shareholders to set prescriptive targets for gender or nationality on the Board. At 31 December 2014 the Board had a 33% female representation, the appointment of Rupert Dorey on 1 March 2015 decreased the female representation to 25%. The Board continues to focus on encouraging diversity of business skills and experience, recognising that Directors with diverse skills sets, capabilities and experience gained from different backgrounds enhance the Board.

Performance Evaluation

The performance of the Board, its Committees and the Directors was reviewed by the Remuneration and Nomination Committee in November 2014, with the assistance of an external facilitator, Trust Associates Limited. No areas of concern were raised and all suggestions made by Trust Associates Limited were considered by the Board.

As a result of the suggestions made in this year's Board performance evaluation, the Board has agreed:

That all Directors are considered independent;
All Directors should be proposed for reappointment at the 2015 AGM; and
That Mr Battey as Chairman of the Audit Committee will act as the Company's senior independent Director.

In addition, the Remuneration and Nomination Committee reviewed the performance of the Chairman in his role. The independence of all Directors was considered. The Chairman reviews each individual Directors' contribution.

The Board will continue to review its procedures, its effectiveness and development in the year ahead, by means of an internal questionnaire.

Induction/Information and Professional Development

Directors are provided, on a regular basis, with key information on the Company's policies, regulatory requirements and its internal controls. Regulatory and legislative changes affecting Directors' responsibilities are advised to the Board as they arise along with changes to best practice from, amongst others, the Company Secretary and the Auditors.
Advisers to the Company also prepare reports for the Board from time to time on relevant topics and issues. In addition, Directors attend relevant seminars and events to allow them to continually refresh their skills and knowledge and keep up with changes within the investment company industry. The Chairman reviewed the training and development needs of each Director during the annual Board evaluation process, and is satisfied that all Directors actively keep up to date with industry developments and issues.

When a new Director is appointed to the Board, he/she will be provided with all relevant information regarding the Company and his/her duties and responsibilities as a Director. In addition, a new Director will also spend time with representatives of the Investment Manager in order to learn more about their processes and procedures.

Rupert Dorey, as a newly appointed Director, has been provided with an induction including provision of all relevant information regarding the Company, and meetings with the Directors, Corporate Brokers and the Company Secretary. Mr Dorey has been provided with a Letter of Appointment outlining his duties and responsibilities. Mr Dorey has also attended the recent Board Strategy day at the offices of the Investment Manager and learned more about their processes and procedures.

Independent Advice

The Board recognises that there may be occasions when one or more of the Directors feels it is necessary to take independent legal advice at the Company's expense. A procedure has been adopted to enable them to do so, which is managed by the Company Secretary.

Indemnities

To the extent permitted by Guernsey Law, the Company's Articles of Incorporation provide an indemnity for the Directors against any liability except such (if any) as they shall incur by or through their own breach of trust, breach of duty or negligence.

During the year, the Company has maintained insurance cover for its Directors and Officers under a Directors' and Officers' liability insurance policy.

Board Meetings

The Board meets at least quarterly. Certain matters are considered at all quarterly board meetings including the performance of the investments, NAV and share price and associated matters such as asset allocation, risks, strategy, marketing and investor relations, peer group information and industry issues. Consideration is also given to administration and corporate governance matters, and where applicable, reports are received from the board committees.

Directors unable to attend a board meeting are provided with the board papers and can discuss issues arising in the meeting with the Chairman or another non-executive Director.

Attendance at scheduled meetings of the Board and its committees in the 2014 financial year

	Board	Audit Committee	Remuneration and Nomination Committee	Management Engagement Committee
Number of meetings during the year	7	3	2	1
William Frewen	4*	3	1	1
Rupert Dorey**	0	0	0	0
Richard Battey	7	3	2	1
Sandra Platts	7	3	2	1

In addition to these meetings, 4 ad-hoc meetings and 1 Committee meeting were held during the year for various matters including but not limited to scrip dividends and C share conversion.

* Mr Frewen is resident in the UK and prevented by the Company's Articles from attending board meetings from the UK. It is not deemed cost effective for the Company for him to travel to Guernsey for the regular meetings to approve dividends in line with the Company's dividend policy; he does however attend all quarterly board meetings.
** Rupert Dorey was appointed on 1 March 2015 and as such did not attend any meetings in 2014.

Board Committees

The Board has established an Audit Committee, a Management Engagement Committee and a Remuneration and Nomination Committee with defined terms of reference and duties. Further details of these committees can be found in their reports. The terms of reference for each committee can be found on the Company's website www.nbgfrif.com.

C.L. Secretaries Limited (Secretary)

Key Objectives

To ensure the Board comprises individuals with the necessary skills, knowledge and experience to ensure that it is effective in discharging its responsibilities and oversight of all matters relating to corporate governance, and to review the on-going appropriateness and relevance of the remuneration policy.

Committee Meetings

Only members of the Remuneration and Nomination Committee and the Secretary have the right to attend Committee meetings. However, representatives of the Investment Manager and Administrator are invited by the Remuneration and Nomination Committee to attend meetings as and when appropriate. In the event of matters arising concerning either an individual's membership of the Board or their remuneration, they would absent themselves from the meeting as required and another independent non-executive Director would take the chair if this applied to the Committee Chairman.

Main Activities during the Year

The Committee met twice during the year and considered succession planning, replenishment of the Board, appointment of an additional Director and reviewed the Directors' remuneration. The Committee also reviewed the results of the annual external board evaluation and considered that the balance of skills, experience, independence and knowledge of the Company was appropriate. It was agreed that the Board worked very well as a unit and that the appointment of Rupert Dorey would complement the current Directors.

The terms of reference for the Committee had incorporated the changes to the UK Corporate Governance Code 2012 and the AIC Code 2013. The terms of reference remain appropriate and are available on the Company's website, www.nbgfrif.com.

Whilst no Directors were appointed during the year ended 31 December 2014, Rupert Dorey was appointed as a non-executive Director to the Board on 1 March 2015 due to the increased size and complexity of the Company and to assist in managing the additional workload of the Board. The Committee believe that this appointment strengthens the Board and is part of the Company's succession planning.

The Committee led the process for the recruitment of the additional appointment to the Board. There is a formal, rigorous and transparent procedure for the appointment of new Directors. Candidates were identified and selected on merit against objective criteria and with due regard to the benefits of diversity on the Board, including gender. The Committee undertook a wide recruitment drive in 2014, which included searching for candidates from Guernsey, Jersey and the United Kingdom. Lists of potential candidates were obtained from a variety of sources and the Committee agreed short-lists. Numerous interviews were held with potential candidates. The skills, experience and time availability of each candidate was considered by the Committee. Short-listed candidates were invited to meet the Chairman and the Investment Manager and feedback was provided to the Board prior to selection. The decision to appoint Rupert Dorey was based on merit of both skills and experience and was considered fair and non-discriminatory.

The Board's diversity policy was agreed in March 2012. The Board supports the recommendations of the Davies Report and believes in and values the importance of diversity, including gender, to the effective functioning of the Board. At 31 December 2014, the Board had 33% female representation which decreased to 25% representation upon the appointment of Rupert Dorey. The Board continues to focus on encouraging diversity of business skills and experience, recognising that Directors with diverse skills sets, capabilities and experience gained from different backgrounds enhance the Board.

The Committee reviewed the Remuneration Policy for Director's fees and conducted a benchmark exercise against similar sized companies. Subsequently, the Board approved an increase in Director's fees of £10,000 each in August 2014 to reflect the increase in responsibilities and workload of the Board since incorporation.

A detailed "Directors' remuneration" report to shareholders from the Committee on behalf of the Board, is contained.

The Committee members have a wide range of financial and commercial expertise necessary to fulfil the Committee's duties. The Chairman of the Committee is a Fellow of the Institute of Chartered Accountants in England and Wales, and has recent and relevant financial experience, as required by the AIC Code. Therefore the Board has designated him as its financial expert on the Committee.

Committee Meetings

The Committee meets at least three times a year. Only members of the Audit Committee and the Secretary have the right to attend Audit Committee meetings. However, representatives of the Investment Manager and Administrator will be invited to attend Audit Committee meetings on a regular basis and other non-members may be invited to attend all or part of the meeting as and when appropriate and necessary. The Company's external auditors, PricewaterhouseCoopers CI LLP ("PwC") is also invited to each meeting. The Committee also meets separately with PwC without the Investment Manager being present.

Main Activities during the Year

The Committee assists the Board in carrying out its responsibilities in relation to financial reporting requirements, risk management and the assessment of internal financial and operating controls. It also manages the Company's relationship with the external auditors. Meetings of the Committee generally take place prior to a Company Board meeting. The Committee reports to the Board as part of a separate agenda item, on the activity of the Committee and matters of particular relevance to the Board in the conduct of their work.

Following the publication of the revised version of the UK Corporate Governance Code and AIC Code, which apply to financial years commencing on or after 1 October 2012, the Board requested that the Committee advise them on whether it believes the annual report and accounts, taken as a whole, is fair, balanced and understandable and provides the information necessary for shareholders to assess the Company's performance, business model and strategy. The Committee's terms of reference remain appropriate and can be found on the Company's website www.nbgfrif.com.

At its three meetings during the year, the Committee focused on:

Financial Reporting

The primary role of the Committee in relation to financial reporting is to review with the Investment Manager, Company Secretary, Administrator and PwC the appropriateness of the half-year and annual financial statements concentrating on, amongst other matters:

The quality and acceptability of accounting policies and practices;
The clarity of the disclosures and compliance with financial reporting standards and relevant financial and governance reporting requirements;
Material areas in which significant judgements have been applied or there has been discussion with the external auditor;
Whether the annual report and accounts, taken as a whole, is fair, balanced and understandable and provides the information necessary for shareholders to assess the Company's performance, business model and strategy; and
Any correspondence from regulators in relation to the quality of our financial reporting.

To aid its review, the Committee considers reports from the Investment Manager, Company Secretary, Administrator and also reports from the external auditors on the outcomes of their half-year review and annual audit.

Significant Issues

In relation to the annual report and financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2014, the following significant issues were considered by the Audit Committee:

Significant issue

How the Issue was Addressed

1. The valuation of the Company's investments.

The Committee analysed the Investment portfolio of the Company in terms of investment mix, fair value hierarchy and valuation. As explained in Note 5 the investment portfolio is entirely at Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy which requires market corroborated inputs for the calculation of fair value. The Committee discussed in depth with the investment manager the appropriateness and robustness of the multi-sourced pricing information used and also had discussions with PwC, with regards to their approach to testing the appropriateness and robustness of the valuation methodology applied by the Investment Manager to the Company's portfolio. The members of the Committee had meetings with PwC, where the audit findings were reported. PwC did not report any differences between the valuations used by the Company or custodian confirmation of holdings and the work performed during the testing process. Based on the above review and analysis the Committee confirmed that they were satisfied with the valuation of the investments.

Internal Controls and Risk Management

The Committee has established a process for identifying, evaluating and managing any major risks faced by the Company. The process is subject to regular review by the Board and accords with the UK Code.

The Committee is responsible overall for the Company's system of internal financial and operating controls and for reviewing its effectiveness. However, such a system is designed to manage rather than eliminate risks of failure to achieve the Company's business objectives and can only provide reasonable and not absolute assurance against material misstatement or loss.

The Committee, receives reports from the Investment Manager on the Company's risk evaluation process and reviews changes to significant risks identified. The Board has undertaken a full review of the Company's business risks, which have been analysed and recorded in a risk report, which is reviewed and updated regularly. The Board receives each quarter from the Investment Manager a formal report which details the steps taken to monitor the areas of risk including those that are not directly the responsibility of the Investment Manager and which reports the details of any known internal control failures. In 2014 the Board received a report from the Administrator on its internal controls which, included a report from PwC, Paris on the control policies and procedures in operation. The Board has also received an internal controls report from Quintillion Limited the new Administrator, which includes a report from Ernst & Young LLP, Minneapolis.

The Committee will consider the new requirements of the UK Corporate Governance Code in the coming year, as applicable, and will incorporate into the 2015 annual report.

The Investment Manager has established an internal control framework to provide reasonable but not absolute assurance on the effectiveness of the internal controls operated on behalf of its clients. The effectiveness of the internal controls is assessed by the Investment Manager's compliance and risk department on an ongoing basis. The Board reviewed the Investment Manager's controls processes and considered the transition between administrators, including board oversight of the new Administrator and sub-Administrator during the Strategy Day held at the Investment Manager's offices.

The Board's assessment of the Company's principal risks and uncertainties is set out.

By means of the procedures set out above, the Committee confirms that it has reviewed the effectiveness of the Company's system of internal financial and operating controls for the year ended 31 December 2014 and to the date of approval of this Annual Report and that, no issues have been noted.

External Audit

The effectiveness of the external audit process is dependent on appropriate audit risk identification at the start of the audit cycle. The Committee received a detailed audit plan from PwC identifying their assessment of the significant audit risk. For the 2014, financial year the significant audit risk identified was in relation to management override of controls. This significant risk was tracked through the year and the Committee challenged the work performed by the auditors to test management override of controls and in addition the audit work undertaken in respect of investment income and valuations of investments. The Committee assess the effectiveness of the audit process in addressing these matters through the reporting received from PwC at both the half-year and year-end. In addition, the Committee seeks feedback from the Investment Manager, Company Secretary and the Administrator on the effectiveness of the audit process. For the 2014 financial year, the Committee was satisfied that there had been appropriate focus and challenge on the significant and other key areas of audit risk and assessed the quality of the audit process to be good.

The Committee held private meetings with the PwC, including the audit partner between Committee meetings to provide an additional opportunity for open dialogue and feedback from the Committee and PwC without the Investment Manager being present.

Appointment and Independence

The Committee considers the reappointment of PwC, including the rotation of the audit partner, and assesses their independence on an annual basis. PwC is required to rotate the audit partner responsible for the audit every five years. The current audit partner has been in place for two years. PwC has been the Company's external auditors since its stock exchange listing in 2011 (4 years). Due to the Company's incorporation in Guernsey, it is not obliged to comply with proposed developments in the UK and the EU on mandatory audit firm rotation. The Committee does however keep under review the ongoing legislative proposals on audit tendering and rotation from the UK and the EU. The Committee will continue to consider annually the need to go to tender for audit quality or independence reasons and as a member to the FTSE350, the Company will be guided by the UK Code which remains the definitive guidance to follow as a Guernsey incorporated company and its recommendation to put the external audit out to tender at least every ten years. It is currently expected that PwC will remain in office and a resolution to reappoint them for the 2015 audit will therefore be proposed at the AGM.

In its assessment of the independence of the external auditors, the Committee receives details of any relationships between the Company and PwC that may have a bearing on their independence and receives confirmation that the external auditors are independent of the Company.

The Committee approved the fees for audit services for 2014 after a review of the level and nature of work to be performed, and after being satisfied by PwC that the fees were appropriate for the scope of the work required.

Non Audit Services

To safeguard the objectivity and independence of the external auditors from becoming compromised, the Committee has a formal policy governing the engagement of the external auditors to provide non-audit services. No material changes have been made to this policy during the year. The external auditors and the Directors have agreed that all non-audit services require the pre-approval of the Committee prior to commencing any work. Fees for non-audit services are tabled annually so that the Committee can consider the impact on external auditors' objectivity.

The external auditors were remunerated £112,400 for their services rendered in 2014. Of this amount, £87,600 was in relation to the year-end audit and £24,800 was in relation to the procedures performed in respect to the half-year review. No non-audit services were undertaken by PwC for the Company during the year.

The Committee is satisfied with the effectiveness of the audit provided by PwC, and is satisfied with their independence. The Committee has therefore recommended to the Board that PwC be reappointed as external auditors for the year ending 31 December 2015, and to authorise the Directors to determine their remuneration. The auditors, PwC, have indicated their willingness to continue in office. Accordingly, a resolution proposing the reappointment of PwC as our external auditors will be put to the shareholders at the 2015 AGM. There are no contractual obligations restricting the Committee's choice of external auditors and we do not indemnify our external auditors.

Committee Evaluation

The Committee's activities formed part of the Board evaluation performed in the year. Details of this process can be found under "Performance evaluation".

Relationship with the Investment Manager, Company Secretary and the Administrator

The Board has delegated various duties to external parties including the management of the investment portfolio, the custodial services (including the safeguarding of assets), the registration services and the day-to-day company secretarial, administration and accounting services. Each of these contracts was entered into after full and proper consideration by the Board of the quality and cost of services offered, including the control systems in operation in so far as they relate to the affairs of the Company.

The Board receives and considers reports regularly from the Investment Manager and Company Secretary along with ad hoc reports and information supplied to the Board as required. The Investment Manager takes decisions as to the purchase and sale of individual investments. The Investment Manager, Company Secretary and Administrator also ensure that all Directors receive, in a timely manner, all relevant management, regulatory and financial information. Representatives of the Investment Manager, Company Secretary and Administrator attend each Board meeting enabling the Directors to probe further on matters of concern. A formal schedule of matters specifically reserved for decision by the full Board has been defined and a procedure adopted for Directors, in the furtherance of their duties, to take independent professional advice at the expense of the Company within certain parameters. The Directors have access to the advice and service of the corporate Company Secretary through its appointed representative who is responsible to the Board for ensuring that Board procedures are followed and that applicable rules and regulations are complied with. The Board, the Investment Manager, Company Secretary and the Administrator operate in a supportive, co-operative and open environment.

Shareholder Engagement

The Board believes that the maintenance of good relations with shareholders is important for the long-term prospects of the Company. It has, since admission, sought engagement with shareholders. Where appropriate the Chairman, and other Directors are available for discussion about governance and strategy with shareholders and the Chairman ensures communication of shareholders' views to the Board. The Board receives feedback on the views of shareholders from its Corporate Brokers and the Investment Manager, and shareholders are welcome to contact the Directors at any time via the Company Secretary.

During the year the Company continued quarterly investor update calls, which can be accessed via conference call or WebEx, details are published via an RIS. Shareholders also had the opportunity to meet the Chairman at an investor event held at the War Rooms, which all investors were welcome to attend. The Board also welcomes the opportunity to meet with investors on a one-to-one basis, upon request.

The Board believes that the AGM provides an appropriate forum for shareholders to communicate with the Board, and encourages participation. All Directors will attend the AGM. There is an opportunity for individual shareholders to question the Chairman of the Board, the Audit Committee, the Management Engagement Committee and the Remuneration and Nomination Committee at the AGM. Details of proxy votes received in respect of each resolution will be made available to shareholders at the meeting and will be posted on the Company's website following the meeting.

The Annual and Half-Year Reports, monthly fact sheet and monthly holdings are available to provide shareholders with a clear understanding of the Company's activities and its results. This information is supplemented by the daily calculation and publication on the London Stock Exchange of the net asset value of the Company's ordinary shares. The Board is informed of relevant promotional documents issued by the Investment Manager. All documents issued by the Company can be viewed on the website, www.nbgfrif.com.

2015 Annual General Meeting ("AGM")

The AGM will be held in Guernsey on 17 June 2015 at 10:15 BST. The notice for the Annual General Meeting sets out the ordinary and special resolutions to be proposed at the meeting. Separate resolutions are proposed for each substantive issue.

It is the intention of the Board that the Notice of AGM be issued to shareholders so as to provide at least twenty working days' notice of the meeting.

*Fees were increased effective 1 July 2014.

**The Directors were paid an additional amount of £20,000 ($31,300) each in relation to the C Shares issued in March 2013 and October 2013. These Directors' fees were paid from the issue costs of the respective C Shares.

Remuneration Policy

The determination of the Directors' fees is a matter dealt with by the Remuneration and Nomination Committee and the Board. The Committee considers the remuneration policy annually to ensure that it remains appropriately positioned. Directors will review the fees paid to the boards of Directors of similar investment companies. No Director is to be involved in decisions relating individual aspects of his or her own remuneration, however the Board as a whole sets the level of directors fees.

No Director has a service contract with the Company and Directors' appointments may be terminated at any time by one month's written notice with no compensation payable at termination.

The Company's policy is for the Directors to be remunerated in the form of fees, payable quarterly in arrears. No Director has any entitlement to a pension, and the Company has not awarded any share options or long-term performance incentives to any of the Directors. No element of the Directors' remuneration is performance related.

Directors are authorised to claim reasonable expenses from the Company in relation to the performance of their duties.

The Company's policy is that the fees payable to the Directors should reflect the time spent by the Board on the Company's affairs and the responsibilities borne by the Directors and should be sufficient to enable high calibre candidates to be recruited. During the year 2014, the policy was for the Chairman of the Board and Chairman of the other Committees to be paid a higher fee than the other Directors in recognition of their more onerous roles and more time spent. The Board may amend the level of remuneration paid within the limits of the Company's Articles of Incorporation.

The Company's Articles of Incorporation limit the aggregate fees payable to the Board of Directors to a total of £500,000 per annum.

In August 2014, a full review was undertaken of the Directors' fees by the Chairman of the Remuneration and Nomination Committee and compared fees with those for Directors in companies of similar scale and complexity. In consideration of the increased size of the Company and increase in responsibilities for the Board since incorporation, the Board approved an increase of £10,000 for each Director effective 1 July 2014. No Director was involved in deciding his / her own remuneration.

The Directors are responsible for preparing financial statements for each financial year, which give a true and fair view, in accordance with applicable Guernsey law and US Generally Accepted Accounting Principles ('US GAAP'), of the state of affairs of the Company and of the profit or loss for the period. In preparing those financial statements, the Directors are required to:

Select suitable accounting policies and apply them consistently;
Make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
State whether applicable accounting standards have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements; and
Prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the Company will continue in business.

The Directors confirm that they have complied with the above requirements in preparing the financial statements.

The Directors are responsible for keeping proper accounting records, which disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the Company and to enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with The Companies (Guernsey) Law, 2008, as amended. The Directors are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the Company and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

The Directors of the Company have elected to prepare consolidated financial statements for NB Global Floating Rate Income Fund Limited for the year ended 31 December 2014 as the parent of the Group in accordance with Section 244(5) of The Companies (Guernsey) Law, 2008. They are not required to prepare individual financial statement for NB Global Floating Rate Income Fund Limited in accordance with Section 243 of The Companies (Guernsey) Law, 2008 for the financial year.

So far as the Directors are aware, there is no relevant audit information of which the Company's auditors are unaware. Each Director has taken all the steps that he or she ought to have taken as a Director, in order to make himself or herself aware of any relevant audit information and to establish that the Company's auditors are aware of that information.

The Directors confirm to the best of their knowledge that:

The consolidated financial statements which have been prepared in conformity with US GAAP give a true and fair view of the assets, liabilities, financial position and loss of the Company, and the undertakings included in the consolidation taken as a whole as required by DTR 4.1.12R and are in compliance with the requirements set out in The Companies (Guernsey) Law, 2008 as amended;
The Annual Report includes a fair review of the information required by DTR 4.1.8R and DTR 4.1.11R, which provides an indication of important events and a description of principal risks and uncertainties which face the Company.

The maintenance and integrity of the NB Global Floating Rate Income Fund Limited website is the responsibility of the Directors; the work carried out by the auditors does not involve consideration of these matters and, accordingly, the auditors accept no responsibility for any changes that may have occurred to the consolidated financial statements since they were initially presented on the website.

Legislation in Guernsey governing the preparation and dissemination of consolidated financial statements may differ from legislation in other jurisdictions.

Independent Auditors' Report

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF NB GLOBAL FLOATING RATE INCOME FUND LIMITED

Report on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying consolidated financial statements (the "financial statements") of NB Global Floating Rate Income Fund Limited and its wholly owned subsidiaries ( together, "the Company") which comprise the consolidated statement of assets and liabilities and the consolidated condensed schedule of investments as of 31 December 2014 and the consolidated statement of operations, the consolidated statement of changes in net assets and the consolidated statement of cash flows for the year then ended and a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory information.

Directors' Responsibility for the Financial Statements
The Directors are responsible for the preparation of financial statements that give a true and fair view in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and with the requirements of Guernsey law. The Directors are also responsible for such internal control as they determine is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

Auditors' Responsibility
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing. Those Standards require that we comply with ethical requirements and plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance whether the financial statements are free from material misstatement.

An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditors' judgement, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the entity's preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity's internal control. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates made by the Directors, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements.

We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.

Opinion
In our opinion, the financial statements give a true and fair view of the financial position of the Company as of 31 December 2014, and of its financial performance and its cash flows for the year then ended in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and have been properly prepared in accordance with the requirements of The Companies (Guernsey) Law, 2008.

Report on other Legal and Regulatory Requirements
We read the other information contained in the Annual Report and consider the implications for our report if we become aware of any apparent misstatements or material inconsistencies with the financial statements. The other information comprises only the Company Overview, the Key Figures, the Chairman's Statement, the Investment Managers' Report, the Strategic Report, the Directors' Report, the Corporate Governance Report, the Directors' Remuneration Report, the Directors' Responsibilities Statement and the Directors, Managers and Advisers.

In our opinion:

the information given in the Directors' Report is consistent with the financial statements and;
the information given in the Corporate Governance Report set out with respect to internal control and risk management systems is consistent with the financial statements.

This report, including the opinion, has been prepared for and only for the Company's members as a body in accordance with Section 262 of The Companies (Guernsey) Law, 2008 and for no other purpose. We do not, in giving this opinion, accept or assume responsibility for any other purpose or to any other person to whom this report is shown or into whose hands it may come save where expressly agreed by our prior consent in writing.

Matters on which we are required to report by exception
We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters which we are required to review under the Listing Rules:

the Directors' Responsibilities Statement in relation to going concern;
the part of the Corporate Governance Statement relating to the Company's compliance with the ten provisions of the UK Corporate Governance Code specified for our review; and
certain elements of the report to shareholders by the Board on Directors' remuneration.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

For the year ended 31 December 2014

Note 1 - Description of Business

NB Global Floating Rate Income Fund Limited (the "Company") is a Guernsey Registered Closed-ended Collective Investment Scheme registered and incorporated in Guernsey under The Companies (Guernsey) Law, 2008 (as amended), on 10 March 2011, with registration number 53155. The Initial Public Offering of the Company took place on 15 April 2011, raising gross proceeds of approximately $507.3 million. The Company's shares were admitted to trading on the Main Market of the London Stock Exchange on 20 April 2011.

On 30 September 2011, the Company raised an additional $187 million by means of a Placing and Offer for Subscription of C Shares were admitted to trading on the Main Market of the London Stock Exchange on 5 October 2011. On 21 March 2013 and 24 October 2013 the Company raised an additional $550 million and $705 million by means of a Placing and Offer for Subscription of C Shares and were admitted to trading on the Main Market of the London Stock Exchange on 26 March 2013 and 29 October 2013 respectively. On 22 July 2013, through a tap issue, the Company raised gross proceeds of $69 million. The Sterling C Shares issued on 21 March 2013 were converted into 360,521,605 Sterling Ordinary Shares on 16 July 2013 and the Sterling Ordinary Shares issued on 24 October 2013 were converted into converted into 421,103,481 Sterling Ordinary on 21 January 2014.

The Company's investment objective is to provide its shareholders with regular dividends, at levels that are sustainable, whilst preserving the capital value of its investment portfolio, utilising the investment skills of the Investment Manager, Neuberger Berman Europe Limited and the Alternative Investment Fund Manager (the "AIFM"), Neuberger Berman Fixed Income LLC. To pursue its investment objective, the Company invests mainly in floating rate senior secured loans issued in U.S. Dollars, Sterling and Euros by primarily North American and European Union corporations, partnerships and other business issuers. These loans will at the time of investment often be non-investment grade. The Company considers debt instruments to be non-investment grade if, at the time of investment, they are rated below the four highest categories (Aaa, Aa, A and Baa) by at least two independent credit rating agencies or, if unrated, are deemed by the Investment Manager to be of comparable quality.

For the purposes of efficient portfolio management, the Company has established a wholly-owned Luxembourg incorporated subsidiary, NB Global Floating Rate Income Fund (Lux) 1 S.à.r.l. which in turn holds a wholly-owned subsidiary, NB Global Floating Rate Income Fund (Lux) 2 S.à.r.l. All references to the Company in this document refer to the Company and its wholly owned Luxembourg subsidiaries.

The Company's share capital is denominated in U.S. Dollars and Sterling and consists of U.S. Dollar Ordinary Shares and Sterling Ordinary Shares as at 31 December 2014.

Under Directive 2011/61/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council of 8 July 2011 on the Alternative Investment Fund Manager Directive (the "AIFM Directive") the Company is required to appoint an Alternative Investment Fund Manager ("AIFM"). On 17 July 2014, the Company, the Investment Manager and the Sub Investment Manager made certain classificatory amendments to the Investment Management Agreement for the purposes of the AIFM Directive. The Sub Investment Management Agreement was terminated on 17 July 2014 and the Sub Investment Manager was appointed as the AIFM per the amended and restated Investment Management Agreement dated 17 July 2014. The Investment Manager has for the duration of its appointment discharged its responsibility to the AIFM, Neuberger Berman Fixed Income LLC.

Note 2 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of preparation

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been presented on a going concern basis and on the accrual basis of accounting in conformity with United States generally accepted accounting principles (US GAAP). The Company is regarded as an Investment Company and it follows the accounting and reporting requirements of ASC 946. Management believes that the underlying assumptions are appropriate and that the Company's consolidated financial statements therefore present a true and fair financial position.

Basis of consolidation

The consolidated financial statements comprise the financial statements of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiary undertakings as at 31 December 2014. The Company and all its wholly owned subsidiaries have United States Dollars as their functional and reporting currencies. The results of the subsidiary undertakings are included in the Consolidated Statement of Operations.

All intra-group balances, transactions, income and expenses are eliminated in full.

Use of estimates

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with US GAAP requires that the Directors make estimates and assumptions that affect the application of policies and reported amounts of assets and liabilities, income and expenses. Such estimates and associated assumptions are generally based on historical experience and various other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, and form the basis of making the judgments about attributing values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may vary from such accounting estimates in amounts that may have a material impact on the financial information of the Company.

Revenue recognition

Interest earned on debt instruments is accounted for net of applicable withholding taxes and is recognised as income over the terms of the loans. Discounts received or premiums paid in connection with the acquisition of loans are amortised into interest income using the effective interest method over the contractual life of the related loan. If a loan pays off prior to maturity, the recognition of the fees and costs is accelerated as appropriate. The Company raises a provision when the collection of interest is deemed doubtful.

Cash and cash equivalents

The Company's cash and cash equivalents comprise cash in hand and demand deposits and highly liquid investments with original maturities of less than 90 days that are both readily convertible to known amounts of cash and so near maturity that they represent insignificant risk of changes in value.

New accounting pronouncements

In June 2013, the FASB issued ASU 2013-08, Financial Services - Investment Companies Topic 946 ("ASU 2013-08") which amends the scope, measurement, and disclosure requirements for investment companies. ASU 2013-08:

(i) amends the criteria for an entity to qualify as an investment company,

(ii) requires an investment company to measure non-controlling ownership interests in other investment companies at fair value rather than using the equity method of accounting, and

(iii) require the following additional disclosures: (a) the fact that the entity is an investment company and is applying the guidance in Topic 946, (b) information about changes, if any, in an entity's status as an investment company, and (c) information about financial support provided or contractually required to be provided by an investment company to any of its investees.

(iv) this guidance is effective for the Company's fiscal year beginning January 1, 2014. Earlier application is prohibited.

The company meets the required characteristics to qualify as an investment company and the adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on the Company's financial results and consolidated financial statements.

Valuation of investments

The Company carries investments on its Consolidated Statement of Assets and Liabilities at fair value in accordance with US GAAP, with changes in fair value recognised within the Consolidated Statement of Operations in each reporting period. Quoted investments are valued according to their bid price as at the close of the relevant reporting date. Investments in private securities are priced at the bid price using a pricing service for private loans. Asset backed securities are valued according to their bid price. If a price cannot be ascertained from the above sources, the Company will seek bid prices from third party broker/dealer quotes for the investments. The Investment Manager believes that bid price is the best estimate of fair value and is in line with the valuation policy adopted by the Company.

In cases where no third party price is available, or where the Investment Manager determines that the provided price is not an accurate representation of the fair value of the investment, the Sub-Investment Manager determines the valuation based on the AIFM's fair valuation policy.

The overall criterion for fair value is a price at which the securities involved would change hands in a transaction between a willing buyer and a willing seller, neither being under compulsion to buy or sell and both having the same knowledge of the relevant facts.

Consistent with the above criterion, the following criteria is considered when applicable:

Valuation of other securities by the same issuer for which market quotations are available;
Reasons for absence of market quotations;
The credit quality of the issuer and the related economics;
Recent sales prices and/or bid and ask quotations for the security;
Value of similar securities of issuers in the same or similar industries for which market quotations are available;
Economic outlook of the industry;
Issuer's position in the industry;
The financial information of the issuer; and
The nature and duration of any restriction on disposition of the security.

Derivative financial instruments

The Company may, from time to time, hold derivative financial instruments for the purposes of hedging foreign currency exposure. These derivatives are measured at fair value in accordance with US GAAP, with changes in fair value recognised within the Consolidated Statement of Operations in each reporting period.

Depending on the product and the terms of the transaction, the fair value of the over the counter (OTC) derivative products, such as foreign exchange contracts, can be modelled taking into account the counterparties' credit worthiness and using a series of techniques, including simulation models.

Many pricing models do not entail material subjectivity because the methodologies employed do not necessitate significant judgements and the pricing inputs are observed from actively quoted markets. The forward exchange contracts valued by the Company using pricing models fall into this category and are categorised within level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

As shares are denominated in U.S. Dollars and Sterling and investments are denominated in U.S. Dollars, Euro or Sterling. Holders of any class of Shares are subject to foreign currency fluctuations between the currency in which such Shares are denominated and the currency of the investments made by the Company. Consequently, the Investment Manager seeks to engage in currency hedging between the U.S. Dollar and any other currency in which the assets of the Company or a class of Shares is denominated, subject to suitable hedging contracts such as forward currency exchange contracts being available in a timely manner and on terms acceptable to the Investment Manager, in their sole and absolute discretion.
Note 5 details the gross and net derivative asset and liability position by contract type and the amount for those derivative contracts for which netting is permissible under US GAAP. The derivative assets and liabilities have been netted where an enforceable master netting arrangement is in place.

Realised gains and losses on investments

All investment transactions are recorded on a trade date basis. Upon sale or maturity, the difference between the consideration received and the cost of the investment is recognised as a realised gain or loss. The cost is determined based on the average cost method.

Operating expenses

Operating expenses are recognised on an accruals basis. Operating expenses include amounts directly or indirectly incurred by the Company as part of its operations.

Issuance cost

In line with the Prospectus, the expenses incurred for the initial placing and C Shares were borne by the Company up to a maximum of 2% of the Gross Issue Proceeds. These expenses include placing fees and commissions; registration, listing and admission fees; the cost of settlement and escrow arrangements; printing, advertising and distribution costs; legal fees, and any other applicable expenses incurred in connection with the offering of shares.

All such expenses are charged to capital, reducing the issue proceeds received.

Currency translation

Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in a currency other than U.S. Dollars are translated into U.S. Dollar equivalents using spot rates as at the reporting year end date. On initial recognition, a foreign currency transaction is recorded and translated at the spot exchange rate at the transaction date. Non-monetary assets and liabilities are translated at the historic exchange rate. There were no non-monetary assets held during the year. Transactions during the year, including purchases and sales of securities, income and expenses, are translated at the rate of exchange prevailing on the date of the transaction. The rates of exchange against U.S. Dollars at 31 December 2014 were 1.559242 USD: 1GBP and 1.210050 USD: 1EUR (31 December 2013: 1.656190 USD: 1GBP and 1.377950 USD: 1 EUR).

Note 5 - Fair Value of Financial Instruments

A financial instrument is defined by ASC 825, Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments, as cash, evidence of an ownership interest in an entity, or a contract that creates a contractual obligation or right to deliver to or receive cash or another financial instrument from a second entity on potentially favourable terms. Fair value estimates are made at a discrete point in time, based on relevant market data, information about the financial instruments, and other factors.

Fair value was determined using available market information and appropriate valuation methodologies. Estimates of fair value of financial instruments without quoted market prices are subjective in nature and involve various assumptions and estimates that are matters of judgement. Accordingly, fair values are not necessarily indicative of the amounts realised on disposition of financial instruments. The use of different market assumptions and/or estimation methodologies may have a material effect on estimated fair value amounts.

The following estimates and assumptions were used at 31 December 2014 to estimate the fair value of each class of financial instruments:

- Valuation of financial investments - The loans and bonds are valued at bid price. The Investment Manager believes that bid price is the best estimate of fair value and is in line with the valuation policy adopted by the Company.

- Cash and cash equivalents - The carrying value is a reasonable estimate of fair value due to the short-term nature of these instruments.

- Receivables for investments sold - The carrying value reasonably approximates fair value as they reflect the value at which investments are sold to a willing buyer and settlement period on their balances is short term.

- Interest receivables - The carrying value reasonably approximates fair value.

- Other receivables and prepayments - The carrying value reasonably approximates fair value.

- Derivatives - the Company estimates fair values of derivatives based on the latest available forward exchange rates.

- Payables for investments purchased - The carrying value reasonably approximates fair value as they reflect the value at which investments are purchased from a willing seller and settlement period on their balances is short term.

- Payables to the Investment Manager and affiliates - The carrying value reasonably approximates fair value.

- Accrued expenses and other liabilities - The carrying value reasonably approximates fair value.

A fair value hierarchy that prioritises the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value is established under FASB ASC Topic 820. The objective of a fair value measurement is to determine the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date (an exit price). Accordingly, the fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to valuations based upon unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1) and the lowest priority to valuations based upon unobservable inputs that are significant to the valuation (Level 3). The levels of the fair value hierarchy under FASB ASC Topic 820-10-35-39 to 55 are as follows:

The guidance establishes three levels of the fair value hierarchy as follows:

Level 1: price quotations in active markets/exchanges for identical securities;

Level 2: other observable inputs (including but not limited to: quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the assets or liabilities (such as interest rates, yield curves, volatilities, prepayment speeds, loss severities, credit risks and default rates) or other market-corroborated inputs); and

Level 3: unobservable inputs based on the best information available in the circumstance, to the extent observable inputs are not available (including the Company's own assumption used in determining the fair value of investments).

The Company has adopted the authoritative guidance contained in FASB ASC 820-10, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, for estimating the fair value of the financial instruments that have calculated Net Asset Value per share in accordance with FASB ASC 946-10.

The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.

The following table details the Company's financial instruments that were accounted for at fair value as at 31 December 2014.

The Derivatives assets and liabilities are offset in accordance with the guidance in sections 210-20-45 and 815-10-45 to determine the net amounts presented in the Consolidated Statement of Assets and Liabilities. All derivative trades have an enforceable master netting agreement so the net amount based on this is the same as the net amount disclosed in the Consolidated Statement of Assets and Liabilities. As at 31 December 2014, there were two counterparties for the Forwards.

The following table presents the impact of derivative instruments on the Consolidated Statement of Operations in conformity with US GAAP.

Primary underlying risk	For the year ended 31 December 2014	For the year ended 31 December 2013
	$	$
Net realised gain on derivatives	13,539,314	41,119,080

Total	(85,396,022)	83,246,879

Primary underlying risks (credit risk, liquidity risk and market risk) associated with the derivatives are explained in Note 6.

There is no collateral for forward contracts.

The Company presents the gain or loss on derivatives in the Consolidated Statement of Operations.

Note 6 - Risks

The Company is subject to various risks, including, but not limited to, market risk, foreign exchange risk, credit risk, geographic concentration risk and liquidity risk. The Investment Manager attempts to monitor and manage these risks on an ongoing basis.

Market Risk and Price Risk

Market risk is the potential for changes in the value of investments. Categories of market risk include, but are not limited to interest rate and foreign exchange risk. Interest rate risk primarily results from exposures to changes in the level, slope and curvature of the yield curve, the volatility of interest rates and credit spreads. Investments in senior loans are subject to interest rate risk.

Price risk is the risk that the price of the security will fall. The exposure to price risk is managed by the Investment Manager by diversifying the portfolio.

Foreign Exchange Risk

Foreign exchange risk arises from various currency exposures, primarily with respect to Sterling and Euro investments and share issue proceeds. The Company makes use of hedging techniques, as part of its risk management strategy, including but not limited to the use of forward exchange contracts to mitigate its exposure to this risk. These instruments involve market risk, credit risk, or both kinds of risks. Risks arise from the possible inability of counterparties to meet the terms of their contracts and from movement in currency and securities values and interest rates.

The Company may invest in a range of bank debt investments and corporate and other bonds. Until such investments are sold or are paid in full at maturity, the Company is exposed to credit risk relating to whether the issuer will meet its obligations when the securities come due.

The cash and other liquid securities held can subject the Company to a concentration of credit risk. The Investment Manager attempts to mitigate the credit risk that exists with cash deposits and other liquid securities by regularly monitoring the credit ratings of such financial institutions and at times

Credit Risk

attempting to hold a significant amount of the Company's cash and cash equivalents in U.S. Treasuries or other highly liquid securities.

Credit risk is the risk of losses due to the failure of counterparty to perform according to the terms of a contract. Since the Company does not clear all of its own securities transactions, it has established accounts with other financial institutions for this purpose. This can, and often does, result in a concentration of credit risk with one or more of these institutions. Such risk, however, is partially mitigated by the obligation of certain of these financial institutions to comply with rules and regulations governing financial institutions in countries where they conduct their business activities.

These rules and regulations generally require maintenance of minimum net capital and may also require segregation of customers' funds and financial instruments from the holdings of the financial institutions themselves. The Company actively reviews and attempts to manage exposures to various financial institutions in an attempt to mitigate these risks.

Geographic Concentration Risk

The Company may invest a relatively large percentage of its assets in issuers located in a single country, a small number of countries, or a particular geographic region. As a result, the Company's performance may be closely aligned with the market, currency or economic, political or regulatory conditions and developments in those countries or that region, and could be more volatile than the performance of more geographically - diversified investments.

Liquidity Risk

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will not be able to meet its obligations as and when these fall due. Liquidity risk is managed by the Investment Manager to ensure that the Company maintains sufficient working capital in cash or near cash form so as to be able to meet the Company's ongoing requirements as these are budgeted for.

Participation Commitments

With respect to the senior loans the Company may: 1) invest in assignments; 2) act as a participant in primary lending syndicates; or 3) invest in participations. If a Company purchases a participation of a senior loan interest, the Company would typically enter into a contractual agreement with the lender or other third party selling the participation, rather than directly with the borrower. As such, the Company not only assumes the credit risk of the borrower, but also that of the selling participant or other persons inter positioned between the Company and the borrower. As of 31 December 2014, there were no such outstanding participation commitments in the Company.

Other Risks

Legal, tax and regulatory changes could occur during the term of the Company that may adversely affect the Company. The regulatory environment for alternative investment companies is evolving, and changes in the regulation of investment companies may adversely affect the value of investments held by the Company or the ability of the Company to pursue its trading strategies. The effect of any future regulatory change on the Company could be substantial and adverse.

Note 7 - Income Taxes

The Company is exempt from Guernsey tax on income derived from non-Guernsey sources. However, certain of its underlying investments may generate income that is subject to tax in other jurisdictions, principally in the United States. The Fund does not file any tax returns.

In accordance with US GAAP, management is required to determine whether a tax position of the Company is more likely than not to be sustained upon examination by the applicable taxing authority, including resolution of any related appeals or litigation processes, based on the technical merits of the position. The tax benefit to be recognised is measured as the largest amount of benefit that it has 50% or higher chance of being realised upon ultimate settlement. De-recognition of a tax benefit previously recognised could result in the Company recording a tax liability that would reduce net assets. This policy also provides guidance on thresholds, measurement, de-recognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in periods, disclosure, and transition that is intended to provide better financial statement comparability among different entities.

As of 31 December 2014, the Company has recorded no liability for net unrecognised tax benefits relating to uncertain tax positions it has taken or expects to take in future tax returns (31 December 2013: Nil).

Note 9 - Share Capital

The share capital of the Company consists of an unlimited number of Ordinary Shares of no par value, which upon issue the Directors may classify as:

(i) U.S. Dollar Ordinary Shares, Sterling Ordinary Shares or Euro Ordinary Shares or as Shares of such other classes as the Directors may determine;

(ii) B Shares of such classes denominated in such currencies as the Directors may determine; and

(iii) C Shares of such classes denominated in such currencies as the Directors may determine.

The rights attached to the above shares are one vote in respect of each share held and, in the case of a general meeting of all Shareholders:

(a) one vote in respect of each U.S. Dollar Ordinary Share held by the shareholder;

(b) 1.6 votes in respect of each Sterling Ordinary Share held by the shareholder; and

(c) in respect of a Share of a class denominated in any currency other than U.S. Dollars or Sterling held by the shareholder, such number of votes per Share of such class as shall be determined by the Directors in their absolute discretion upon the issue for the first time of Shares of the relevant class.

The Directors may effect distributions of capital proceeds attributable to the Ordinary Shares to holders of Ordinary Shares by issuing B Shares of a particular class to holders of Ordinary Shares of a particular class pro-rata to their holding of Ordinary Shares of such class.

The B Shares are issued on terms that each B Share shall be compulsorily redeemed by the Company shortly following issue and the redemption proceeds paid to the holders of such B Shares on such terms and in such manner as the Directors may from time to time determine.

The Directors are authorised to issue C Shares of such classes (and denominated in such currencies) as they may determine in accordance with Article 4 and with C Shares of each such class being convertible into Ordinary Shares of such class as the Directors may determine at the time of issue of such C Shares.

The C Shares will not carry the right to attend and receive notice of any general meetings of the Company, nor will they carry the right to vote at such meetings.

The C Shares will be entitled to participate in a winding-up of the Company or on a return of capital in relation to the C share surplus as defined in the Prospectus.

The C Shares will be entitled to receive such dividends as the Directors may resolve to pay to such holders out of the assets attributable to such class of C Shares.

There were no Euro Ordinary Shares in issue as at 31 December 2014 (31 December 2013: No Euro Ordinary Shares).

As at 31 December 2014, there were no C Shares in issue (31 December 2013: 425,571,132 Sterling C Shares were in issue).
