Notice of compulsory redemption of Participating Redeemable Preference B Shares ("Shares")

Brookwell Limited (the "Company") announced on 7 March 2011 that it had disposed of the remaining investment in the B Class Fund. Accordingly, the Company will redeem all of the outstanding B Shares on 31 March 2011 as described below.

In accordance with the Company's Articles of Incorporation, the Company has today sent a notice to shareholders that it will return the final attributable net assets to holders of B Shares, expected to be approximately GBP0.4m on 31 March 2011 ("the redemption date").

All of the remaining assets will be returned to holders of B Shares on the register at the close of business on the redemption date and the redemption price of the B Shares will be determined by reference to the Net Asset Value per B Share at the close of business on the day immediately preceding the redemption date less any costs attributable to the redemption. The amount to be applied to the redemption of B Shares comprises the entirety of the cash balances received from disposals of investments attributed to the B Class Fund since the previous redemption less funds used or required to settle liabilities attributable to the B Class Fund (including any purchases of B Shares in the market). All of the B Shares will be redeemed.

The Company issued 12,960,844 B Shares on its flotation, of which 12,541,986 have been redeemed and cancelled in the previous pro rata redemptions at an aggregate cost of GBP13,899,967. No B Shares have been purchased in the market. Therefore at the date of this announcement, the Company has 418,858 Shares in issue. All of the B Shares redeemed will be cancelled. As noted above this redemption will be the final redemption of the B Shares.

The B Shares will be disabled in CREST on the redemption date and the existing ISIN number GG00B4KG7S24 will expire on this date.

Copies of the notice sent to shareholders are available from the Company's website www.brookwelllimited.com
