FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE 
 
 
26 November 2009 
 
 
Close Enhanced Commodities Fund Limited (the "Company") 
 
 
In order to fulfil its investment objective the Company purchased six Debt 
Securities, including one issued by Glitnir Banki HF. This Debt Security 
accounts for approximately 19 per cent of the total nominal value of the 
Company's Debt Securities. In the event of a default by an issuer of a Debt 
Security purchased by the Company, the Company will rank as an unsecured 
creditor in respect of sums due from the issuer of such Debt Security. In such 
event, the Company may (in respect of that Debt Security) receive a lesser 
amount of money than the amount due pursuant to the terms of the Debt Security, 
may actually receive the money at a different time than would otherwise have 
been the case and the amount received may be zero. Any losses will be borne by 
the Company and returns to Shareholders would be significantly adversely 
affected. 
 
 
Following the Icelandic authorities' decision to place Glitnir Banki HF in 
receivership, the Board of the Company considers it likely that it may not pay 
in full on its obligation. Whilst recovery rates from issuers that default vary, 
and in this case are currently unknown, the worst case scenario would see the 
Company receive nothing from Glitnir Banki HF at the maturity of the Debt 
Security. 
 
 
Potential capital entitlements available to shareholders are based on the 
percentage increase in the End Value+ of the Commodity Portfolio relative to its 
Start Value.The End Value+ will be the average daily value of the Commodity 
Portfolio over the one year Calculation Period ending on 22 February 2010.

Based on the average daily value of the Commodity Portfolio over the Calculation 
Period to 25 November 2009, and assuming the End Value+ of the Commodity 
Portfolio is the same, the Final Capital Entitlement per Share on the Redemption 
Date would be approximately 213 pence+ subject to there being no counterparty 
default or any unforeseen circumstances, and in the event of Glitnir Banki HF 
defaulting and having a zero recovery rate and there being no insolvency of any 
other issuer of Debt Securities held by the Company or any other event of 
default or any unforeseen circumstances, the Final Capital Entitlement per Share 
on the Redemption Date would be approximately 172 pence+. 
 
 
Based on the value of the Commodity Portfolio as at 25 November 2009, and 
assuming the End Value+ of the Commodity Portfolio is the same, the Final 
Capital Entitlement per Share on the Redemption Date would be approximately 287 
pence+ subject to there being no counterparty default or any unforeseen 
circumstances, and in the event of Glitnir Banki HF defaulting and having a zero 
recovery rate and there being no insolvency of any other issuer of Debt 
Securities held by the Company or any other event of default or any unforeseen 
circumstances, the Final Capital Entitlement per Share on the Redemption Date 
would be approximately 232 pence+.
