3 STATEMENT EXPLAINING THE EFFECT OF THE SCHEME OF ARRANGEMENT FOR AMALGAMATION I The Scheme ABAMCO Limited established ABAMCO Capital Fund (ACF), ABAMCO Growth Fund (AGF) and ABAMCO Stock Market Fund (ASMF) by amalgamating the ICP Mutual Funds Lot A (comprising of 1 st, 3 rd, 4 th, 8 th, 11 th, 12 th, 15 th, 19 th, 20 th, 21 st, 23 rd and 25 th ICP Mutual Funds) into three separate schemes after acquiring the management rights of Lot A from the Investment Corporation of Pakistan (ICP) in October 2003. These funds have been set up as closed-end mutual fund schemes and are governed by the Non-Banking Finance Companies (Establishment and Regulation) Rules, 2003 (NBFC Rules, 2003). Through the amalgamation scheme the 1 st, 3 rd, 8 th, 11 th, 12 th, 15 th, 19 th and 20 th ICP Mutual Funds were merged into ACF, while the 21 st, 23 rd and 25 th ICP Mutual Funds were combined to form ASMF. The 4 th ICP Mutual Fund was reorganized as a separate closed-end trust that was later renamed ABAMCO Growth Fund. ABAMCO Limited is engaged in the business of providing investment advisory and asset management services in the private sector and has been licensed by the Securities and Exchange Commission of Pakistan (SECP) to act as an investment adviser under the repealed Investment Companies and Investment Advisers Rules, 1971, and as an asset management company under the repealed Asset Management Companies Rules, 1995. SECP has renewed license (No. NBFC 11/19 Abamco/AMC & IA/02/, dated June 10, 2005) to ABAMCO Limited under Rule 5(5) of the NBFC Rules, 2003 to undertake investment advisory and asset management services. Through this Scheme of Arrangement for Amalgamation (hereinafter referred as Scheme), the Investment Adviser proposes to reorganize ACF, AGF and ASMF as a single closed-end scheme. In this regard it is proposed that ACF, AGF and ASMF are merged into the UTP Growth Fund (UTP-GF), for which application has been made to the Securities and Exchange Commission of Pakistan (SECP) for its no objection to the proposed Scheme. Any conditions imposed by the SECP while granting its no objection shall be deemed to be incorporated in the Scheme. The scheme has yet to be approved by the Certificate Holders of ACF, AGF and ASMF. The assets and liabilities of ACF, AGF and ASMF will be taken over by UTP-GF, to be constituted under a trust deed as approved by the SECP, with ABAMCO Limited as the Investment Adviser and Central Depository Company of Pakistan Limited as the Trustee. The trust deed will be available at the Company s website www.abamco.com. The Certificate Holders of ACF, AGF and ASMF will be allotted the certificates of UTP-GF in accordance with the swap ratio, determined on the basis of Net Asset Value as per the audited accounts of the respective Funds as on December 31, 2005. Accordingly, it is proposed that UTP-GF, a closed-end trust scheme to be constituted under the provisions of the Rules, may take over ACF, AGF and ASMF.

4 This Scheme circulated to the Certificate Holders deals with all aspects of the merger of the three Funds into UTP-GF. The Investment Adviser shall convene separate meetings of the Certificate Holders of the Funds to seek their approval, by a majority of not less than three-fourth of such Certificate Holders entitled to vote, on the principle of one vote for one certificate held, as are present in person or through Proxy at a general meeting. The Fund Manager shall convene meeting, on the pattern of public companies, required under the Companies Ordinance and observe all the formalities applicable to such meetings for seeking approval of the Certificate Holders to the scheme of merger. In the event the Certificate Holders of the three Funds approve the Scheme, ACF, AGF and ASMF Funds will be merged into UTP-GF. To avoid a dead end, so that the merger process is not delayed, modification of the Scheme is also proposed, should the Certificate Holders of one of the Funds do not approve the merger of the Funds. The modification would provide that those Funds voting in favor of the merger will be merged into UTP-GF and those not favoring the merger will continue as separate closed end trust, under their existing trust deed. II Justification With a view to achieve the economy of scales and to carry on the business more economically and efficiently, to streamline and maintain smooth and efficient management and corporate control, to cut un-necessary administrative, secretarial and other expenses, to spread the frozen shares of Pakistan State Oil over a wider asset base, to avoid multiplication of the managerial and corporate process and to otherwise carry on the business more conveniently and advantageously, the Board of Directors of ABAMCO Limited, after taking into account all the above factors, decided that ACF, AGF and ASMF be merged into UTP-GF, to be registered as a closed end trust under a Trust Deed between ABAMCO Limited, as the investment adviser and Central Depositary Company of Pakistan Limited, as the trustee, subject to approval of the SECP. The Board of Directors also decided to seek listing of UTP-GF on at least one of the stock exchanges in Pakistan. III Approval of SECP of the Trust Deed and No Objection to the Scheme Application has been made to the SECP for the approval of the Trust Deed and issue of no objection to Scheme, which lays down the manner in which the certificates in the UTP-GF will be allocated and issued to the Certificate Holders of ACF, AGF and ASMF. The Board of Directors of ABAMCO Limited has approved the Trust Deed, prior to its execution and has also approved the Scheme through resolution dated November 30, 2005. Copy of the Trust Deed will be provided to the Certificate Holders on request.

5 The sanctioning of the said Scheme by the Certificate Holders and the no objection by the SECP shall have the following effect:- 1. The Scheme shall become effective as of December 31, 2005, or such later date, as SECP may allow. 2. The Scheme will not affect the interest of any creditors or any Certificate Holder. 3. ABAMCO Limited would be the investment adviser of UTP-GF and Central Depositary Company of Pakistan Limited would be the trustee. 4.
