Questions and Answers Why is this transaction being facilitated? A number of shareholders are seeking a liquidity option for their DR Fund shares. DR Funds Limited is seeking to facilitate a sale of shares in the DR Funds ( DR Shares ) to provide liquidity opportunity to their investors. However, any liquidity will be provided at a discount. What is Pioneers view of the process? Neither Pioneer Investments nor DR Funds Limited is issuing a recommendation to either accept or decline the offer. This decision rests solely with each shareholder. What do DR Shareholders do if they do not wish to participate? Shareholders who wish not to participate need not take any action. These shareholders will continue holding their DR Fund shares and will receive cash payouts as has been the case since the creation of the DR Funds. If an investor does not want to participate in this transaction, will they get another similar opportunity in the future? Any future secondary transactions would need to be privately arranged. Pioneer Investments will not be involved in initiating any such future transactions. Will shareholders who do not wish to take part in this sale be able to transfer their current DR shares? For DR Shareholders who do not wish to take part in this sale, please be aware that it will not be possible to transfer your DR Fund shares from the 15 th of May 2012 until the process is completed. Will DR Shareholders be able to sell a partial holding in the DR Fund shares? Yes, the DR Shareholders can elect to sell only a portion of their DR Shares, should they choose to. How will the final bid price be calculated? A number of DR Funds have received multiple bids at varying prices and volumes. The final price paid to DR Shareholders will be a blend of these bids. The intention is to maximise the price by allocating to higher bids in priority. In a case where the highest bid received can cover 100% of the shares in a single DR Fund then that price will be offered. In all case the prices in the table below are net of all costs associated with the transaction.
