As announced on 5 October 2009, JSS shareholders have approved the
capital reconstruction of the Company. As part of the Proposals, JSS
has previously reclassified its shares providing for its current
investors to either rollover their investment or make a cash exit.
Those who have elected to rollover their investment currently sit in
two class: New ZDP Shares (ISIN: GB00B40T5095) and Geared Ordinary
Shares (ISIN: GB00B402S989) (together "the Rollover Shares").
JSS will also provide the shareholders of Jupiter Second Enhanced
Income Trust Plc ("JSE") and The Defined Capital Return Fund Limited
("DCR") (both to be wound up on 3 November 2009) with the option to
rollover their respective investments into the reconstructed JSS
vehicle.
Share subdivision
To facilitate the entry of JSE and DCR investors into JSS at a common
par value, an application has been made for the Rollover Shares to be
subdivided as follows:
The 62,498,839 New ZDP shares (par value of 1p) (ISIN:GB00B40T5095)
to be subdivided into 170,280,848 New ZDP Shares (par value of
0.35443291p) (ISIN:GB00B4264123) and 3,751,775 Geared Ordinary Shares
(par value of 0.57191641p) (ISIN:GB00B4268J87).
The 88,268,962 Geared Ordinary shares (par value of 1p)
(ISIN:GB00B402S989) to be subdivided into 145,853,493 Geared Ordinary
Shares (par value of 0.57191641p) (ISIN:GB00B4268J87) and 13,692,170
New ZDP Shares (par value of 0.35443291p) (ISIN:GB00B4264123).

JSE and DCR and those investing in JSS through the Placing and Offer
for Subscription the Company has made an application to issue an
additional 66,756,525 Geared Ordinary Shares and 248,750,568 New ZDP
