distribution rules. A client may be able to claim against the Company for any such shortfall and for that claim, the client shall rank as an unsecured creditor of the Company. Further, note that in the event that there is a shortfall in the amount available for distribution of securities held by the Company as client assets in a client omnibus account pursuant to Regulation 12(1), any shortfall borne by a client in that respect will become a client’s shortfall claim against the Company and shall rank as an unsecured claim.

Part B: Further information (generally) Annex B sets out some guidance in respect of the information that the Special Administrators will be looking for in order to evaluate and process your claim. Some of the detail requested in Annex B may not necessarily be relevant to your claim, but the Special Administrators recommend that you provide as much detail as possible. Please answer all questions as fully as possible. If you do not provide sufficient details, the Special Administrators may call for any document or other evidence to be produced, where necessary for the purpose of substantiating the whole or any part of the claim made in your Claim Form. Proper documentation can speed up the review and evaluation of your claim. Please enclose copies (not originals) of any documentation or correspondence you believe may substantiate the claim and/or be of assistance in processing your claim, including, but not limited to, customer confirmations and account statements (in particular, your last account statement). We appreciate that many clients may not know their final position as it depends on entries which have not yet been made on the Company system, for example arising from defaults. Further, many close out prices have not been confirmed by the relevant exchanges. For voting purposes the Special Administrators are prepared to accept estimates so long as such estimates are reasonable. In many cases the 31 October 2011 statement value will be a reasonable basis, although the Special Administrators reserve the right to adjudicate votes as they see fit. If you do not have a statement at 31 October 2011 please email: [email protected]. If you require additional space to answer any of the questions, please attach separate pages and label the answers to the corresponding questions for this Claim Form.

FURTHER NOTES IN RESPECT OF THE EVENTUAL RETURN OF YOUR CLIENT MONEY AND OR CLIENT ASSETS Requested Client Money Indemnity The Special Administrators are actively working to reconcile holdings and accounts in order to enable client money to be released as soon as practicable (which is one of the Special Administrators’ formal objectives in the special administration process). However, the ultimate return of client money to clients will be dependent on the special administrators establishing the quantum of the claims against funds held in “client money accounts”. Under the FSA’s “client money” and “client money distribution rules” as defined by Chapter 7 of the FSA’s Handbook, as the law is currently understood, upon the failure of a regulated firm, all client money must be pooled and distributed to clients in accordance with those rules. Clients are requested to note that at the current time it is unclear whether or not, and if so to what extent, there will be a “shortfall” in the amount of client money available for distribution as defined in the Glossary to the FSA’s Handbook. Each client is, on the occurrence of certain events, only entitled to a sum which is rateable to “the client money entitlement” within the meaning of the client money rules and the client money distribution rules. In the event that the Special Administrators make an interim distribution in respect of client money and if, after making that interim distribution, it becomes apparent that the clients have received more than their rateable entitlements under the FSA’s Client Money Distribution Rules, the Special Administrators will require that clients repay the amount of that overpayment to the Company as trustee under the client money rules and client money distribution rules. The Special Administrators will also be requesting an indemnity from the client for the costs associated with recovering those funds limited in amount to the level of interim distribution or distributions received by the client. Please note that this does not prevent you from submitting your claim for client money or from voting at the Initial Meeting. A standard form indemnity is attached as Annex C. You do not need to sign this form in order to submit your claim, however before any interim distribution in respect of client money is ultimately made, the Special Administrators will request that you agree to an indemnity (whether in the form attached or in some other form as may be appropriate to the circumstances of your case) before making any interim distribution to you. Further, the Special Administrators reserve the right to require additional indemnities (for example if a further interim distribution should be made or contemplated) or to require further assurances, including security, whether in relation to assets or in the form of a guarantee, from you or another in respect of any distribution of client money whether interim or final. If you agree to execute this indemnity now, this should speed up the processing of any distribution made to you as a client money claimant. You should however consult your own legal and other professional advisors for advice in relation to your claim and the indemnity requested.

Requested Client Asset Indemnity The Special Administrators are actively working to reconcile holdings and accounts in order to enable segregated client assets to be returned as soon as practicable, which, again, is one of the Special Administrators’ formal objectives in the special administration process. However, the return of a client’s assets will not be finalised until the associated client risk positions have been liquidated or transferred and claims have been validated. Nevertheless, the Special Administrators would like to return to clients their client assets as soon as possible and have therefore invited clients to submit claims for the return of their client assets. Please note however that no statutory bar date (as provided for in the special administration regime) has been set at this stage for the return of claims in relation to client assets. Such bar date will be subject to separate, specific notification. As and when the Special Administrators are in a position to start returning client assets they will do so. However, in the event that after any return of those assets it becomes apparent that, for whatever reason, the client received a distribution to which he was not entitled to receive (whether by receipt of assets to which he was not entitled, or in amount or value greater than his entitlement, or in an amount or value in excess of the deduction to be made on account of the costs of distribution) , the Special Administrators will require the client to repay a sum (where positive) equal to (x) the value of that distribution assessed as at the date of payment of the final distribution less (y) the value of his true entitlement. The Special Administrators will also be requesting an indemnity from the client for the costs associated with recovering those funds, limited to the level of interim distribution received by the client. Please note that this does not prevent you from submitting your claim for client assets or from voting at the Initial Meeting. A standard form indemnity is attached as Annex D. You do not need to sign this form in order to submit your claim, however before any distribution of client assets is ultimately made, the Special Administrators will request that you agree to an indemnity (whether in the form attached or in some other form as may be appropriate to the circumstances of your case) before making any distribution or return to you. Further, the Special Administrators reserve their rights to require additional indemnities (for example, if a further interim distribution should be made or contemplated) or to require further assurances, including security, whether in relation to assets or in the form of a guarantee, from you or another in respect of any return or distribution of client assets whether interim or final. If you agree to execute this indemnity now, this should speed up the processing of any distribution or return made to you as a client asset claimant. You should however consult your own legal and other professional advisors for advice in relation to your claim and the indemnity requested.

Deadlines If you would like to vote at the Initial Meeting The Special Administrators intend to hold the Initial Meeting on 9 January 2012. If you think you may be entitled to vote in accordance with Rule 90 at the Initial Meeting as a client of the Company, and you wish to vote at the Initial Meeting in person, or by proxy, or in some other way, you must provide details of your claim against the Company to the Special Administrators at the address below by 12 noon on 6 January 2012 being the last business day before the Initial Meeting. Deadlines in respect of CLIENT MONEY only If you do not wish to vote at the Initial Meeting, you are invited to submit claims in respect of CLIENT MONEY by 5.00pm (UK time) on 30 March 2012. Deadlines in respect of CLIENT ASSETS only If you do not wish to vote at the Initial Meeting, note that you are invited to submit claims for the return of client assets (other than client money). However at this stage, no bar date is being set for the return of claims in relation to client assets. The Special Administrators will notify all clients separately if and when this bar date has been set. There is no provision for a bar date in respect of client money, but it is in all clients’ interest for a distribution to be made as quickly as possible.
