Allocation changes

On 1 September 2009, BHGO switched its allocation from the Brevan Howard Equity Strategies Master Fund ("BES") Limited into BES's feeder fund, Brevan Howard Equity Strategies Fund Limited pursuant to a minor shareholder restructuring at BES. The investment terms, redemption terms, fees and high-water marks of BHGO's investment were unaffected by the switch.

On 1 November 2009, the Company made a new allocation of approximately 2.4% of BHGO's assets to the Brevan Howard Credit Catalysts Master Fund Limited. 

Further detail of monthly performance information and the outlook of the Company and BHGO can be obtained from the Company's monthly newsletters, copies of which are to be found on the Company's website: www.bhglobal.com



Material Events and Transactions

Class closure votes and amendments to discount management arrangements

On 15 October 2009, the Company held an Extraordinary General Meeting and meetings of each of its share classes to propose class closure resolutions in accordance with the Company's articles of association and to also propose amendments to the Company's discount management arrangements.

The resolutions to amend the Company's discount management arrangements were duly passed with in excess of 50% of shareholders of the Company voting on the relevant resolutions and in excess of 97% of those shareholders voting in favour of the proposals

The following results were obtained in respect of the class closure votes for each share class:

Share Class

% of shares voted

Votes against class closure 

USD Shares 

50.04

99.26%

EUR Shares

55.42

96.55%

GBP Shares 

61.98

99.24%


meaning that the class closure resolutions were not passed and each of the Company's classes will continue.

Pursuant to the amendments to the articles approved at the meeting, the discount management period now runs on a calendar year basis, commencing 1 January 2010. Further class closure votes will be triggered in respect of a Share class, if in any calendar year the average closing market price on the London Stock Exchange of that Share class is in excess of a 10% discount to average NAV per share of that Share class over the 12 month end NAV calculation dates in that calendar year.

Resumption of Monthly Share conversions

Due to the Class Closure votes, the Company's monthly conversion facility was suspended in September 2009 but after completion of the votes resumed on 30 October 2009.



Discount Management

In the period between 1 July 2009 and 30 September 2009 the Company purchased the following numbers of shares on the market in accordance with its ongoing discount management policy:


Share Class

Shares purchased on market between 1 July 2009 and 30 September 2009 

USD Shares

1,849,384

EUR Shares 

35,621

GBP Shares 

110,000



In accordance with the terms of the Company's discount management policy these purchases have only been made in the market at prices below the estimated prevailing NAV per Share in circumstances that have resulted in an increase in the NAV per Share of the remaining Shares and after purchase have either been held in treasury by the Company or cancelled.
