Close Enhanced Commodities Fund Ld

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
24 December 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 23 December 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 219 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 177 pence+.
Based on the value of the Commodity Portfolio as at 23 December 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 276
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 223 pence+.
