When the Company joined PLUS Markets in March 2010 the Board set out its strategy as follows: "Whilst the Directors have no bias towards a specific sector, the business (or businesses) which the Company invests in will, it is envisaged, meet certain conditions which, the Directors believe, will best position the Company to maximise shareholder value. These conditions include, inter alia, a robust business model demonstrating how shareholder value will be created and increase over time, including the generation of strong positive cash flows, and an experienced management team with a proven track record of success in their area of operation. The investment opportunities which the Directors are focussing on: * Are established, companies which are profitable, largely ungeared and which will be earnings enhancing for shareholders, capable of paying dividends and operating in mature markets; * Are primarily engaged in manufacturing and/or trading activities; * Are largely UK based and operating ; and * Have developed products which may require additional funding to grow" Since then the Company has invested in three companies: * Webb Capital plc. ( a company of which I am a Director); * Charles Street Capital plc.; and * Harrogate Group plc. All three companies are start up or near start up, two are essentially cash shells and in all cases the stakes that have been acquired are small minority interests. In the case of Charles Street Capital plc the Company has already started to sell its investment. It has also been announced that the Company has recently lent money to a de-listed AIM company Zyzygy plc which it is proposed will now be converted into equity. Again Zyzygy has no existing business but intends to' Target investment opportunities in oil & gas, mining and media... ` None meet the majority of the investment criteria set out in the Admission document. It is therefore clear that, at a time when funding for growth companies is more difficult to source than at any time I can remember; companies are crying out for additional capital and valuations are extremely attractive, that the Directors have not managed to find suitable investment opportunities to meet the majority of the investment criteria they originally set out. Additionally, I have noted that Mr Butterfield has been very busy in trying to rescue the business of Wren Extracare Group plc, where he serves as Group Development Director and it appears from a recent letter to Shareholders and Creditors there has been evidence of malfeasance by a former Director and substantial destruction of shareholder value during the time Mr Butterfield has served on the Board. Furthermore, the decision of Mr Battersby and Mr Butterfield to join the Board of ex AIM Listed company Zyzygy plc on 17 January 2011 together with their plans to re-capitalise that business using BWA funds and thereafter seek suitable acquisitions would seem to bring them into possible conflict with the interests of shareholders in the Company. I would ask the question `'If a suitable investment opportunity arises which company gets to see the opportunity?'' In summary, I do not believe that Mr Battersby and Mr Butterfield are best able to deliver the strategy set out over 12 months ago and now have potential conflicts of interest prejudicial to the interests of Shareholders in the Company. I believe there are presently many interesting opportunities to invest in growth companies at valuations that would be attractive to shareholders in the company. Unfortunately I do not believe that Mr Battersby and Mr Butterfield are capable of ensuring that the Company benefits from these opportunities. During the 15 years that I managed The Eaglet Investment Trust plc from 1993 to 2008, I received many awards that resulted from my decisions in backing successful growth companies and thereby delivering above average returns to our shareholders. Similarly Dwight Mighty has experience in the world of Private Equity where again he has helped growth companies to succeed. In addition to our own efforts to identify attractive investment opportunities we each have extensive personal contacts throughout the business and financial world. When I increased my shareholding in the Company to 14.99% in May last year, at a premium to the underlying net assets, it was because I believed that there was the potential for significant value to be created for shareholders. Regrettably, I have come to the conclusion that the current Board are not likely to prove capable of achieving significant value for shareholders and in fact may well be conflicted in their management of the company. I strongly believe that shareholders will benefit from a change in management and more active investment style that Dwight and I will bring to the company. I also believe that the company lacks the scale to properly take advantage of the sizeable SME investment opportunity that currently exists. Subject to shareholders supporting my appointment, I propose to increase the funds available to the Company by raising additional equity. I am prepared to invest additional capital of my own to support this expansion. I would urge you to vote in favour of the Resolutions to be proposed at the General Meeting and should you have any questions please feel free to contact me on 020 7634 9510 Yours faithfully, Peter Webb
