Questions and answers – 17/06/09

What is the impact on investors where KIS are purely administering the contract on behalf of a third party?
There were some practical issues because of the administration but these are now largely resolved and processing has recommenced.

If the business is sold will there be any impact on the underlying investments?
No, these are all entirely separate from the fund management function of KIS and investment terms cannot be altered.

Are the administrators intending to write to investors?
If the business is sold in the very near future, we would expect the new owner to communicate with investors.

What is the position with Defined Income Plan (“DIP”) issue 9 (which has closed and is scheduled to 'strike' on 19 June) - especially given concerns regarding DIPs issues 1-8 and the fact that KIS is no longer marketing DIP issue 10?
The administrators have decided to cancel DIP issue 9 and will be returning money to investors in due course.
