Gartmore Announcement re Guillaume Rambourg

06 April 2010

Despite recent media coverage concerning an internal Gartmore investigation in connection with one of our senior fund managers, we would like to reassure our clients that it's very much a case of "business as usual" at Gartmore and we continue to manage our clients' investments in line with their objectives and policies.

The internal investigation in progress has been instigated by Gartmore and relates to a potential breach of Gartmore's internal procedures.

If you have any questions please contact your usual Gartmore representative or call the Gartmore Broker Desk on 020 7782 2307 during our regular office hours.

Please find below a letter clarifying Gartmore's current positioning in light of recent press coverage.
