RECOMMENDED ACQUISITION OF ASSET MANAGEMENT INVESTMENT COMPANY
PLC ("Company") BY
GREENWICH LOAN INCOME FUND LIMITED ("GLIF")
RESULT OF COURT MEETING AND GENERAL MEETING
On 16 December 2010, the boards of GLIF and the Company
announced that they had reached agreement on the terms of a cash
offer with a share alternative under which GLIF will acquire the
entire issued and to be issued ordinary share capital of the
Company. It is intended that the Acquisition be implemented by
means of a scheme of arrangement under Part 26 of the Companies Act
2006 (the "Scheme").
Completion of the Acquisition is conditional upon, amongst other
things, Shareholders' approval being obtained at the Court Meeting
and the General Meeting. The Board of AMIC is therefore pleased to
announce that:
-- at the Court Meeting held today, the proposed scheme of
arrangement as set out in the Notice of Court Meeting annexed to
the circular posted to Shareholders dated 16 December 2010 (the
"AMIC Circular") was duly approved by Shareholders; and
-- at the General Meeting, also held today, the resolution set
out in the Notice of General Meeting annexed to the AMIC Circular
was duly passed.
Proxy votes received in relation to these meetings were as
follows:
For Against Withheld
Court Meeting 6,012,879 43,521 -
General Meeting 6,101,635 42,000 8,724
The Acquisition remains conditional upon, inter alia, the
sanction of the Scheme and the confirmation of the Capital
Reduction by the Court, both of which are scheduled to take place
on 28 January 2011. The Board of AMIC is not currently aware of any
reasons why such sanction and confirmation should not be
forthcoming.
The Board of AMIC is also pleased to note that, at the GLIF EGM
held earlier today, resolutions to approve the Acquisition and
admission of both the Existing and New GLIF Shares to the Official
List of the Channel Islands Stock Exchange, were duly passed.
Terms used in this announcement shall have the same meaning as
set out in the AMIC Circular.

offeror in respect of which it has been announced that its offer
is, or is likely to be, solely in cash) must make an Opening

and, if later, following the announcement in which any paper
offeror is first identified. An Opening Position Disclosure must
contain details of the person's interests and short positions in,

the offeree company and (ii) any paper offeror(s). An Opening

made by no later than 3.30 pm (London time) on the 10th business
day following the commencement of the offer period and, if
appropriate, by no later than 3.30 pm (London time) on the 10th
business day following the announcement in which any paper offeror
is first identified. Relevant persons who deal in the relevant
securities of the offeree company or of a paper offeror prior to
the deadline for making an Opening Position Disclosure must instead

previously been disclosed under Rule 8. A Dealing Disclosure by a
person to whom Rule 8.3(b) applies must be made by no later than
3.30 pm (London time) on the business day following the date of the
relevant dealing.
If two or more persons act together pursuant to an agreement or
understanding, whether formal or informal, to acquire or control an
interest in relevant securities of an offeree company or a paper
offeror they will be deemed to be a single person for the purpose
of Rule 8.3.
Opening Position Disclosures must also be made by the offeree
company and by any offeror and Dealing Disclosures must also be
made by the offeree company, by any offeror and by any persons
acting in concert with any of them (see Rules 8.1, 8.2 and
8.4).
Details of the offeree and offeror companies in respect of whose
relevant securities Opening Position Disclosures and Dealing
Disclosures must be made can be found in the Disclosure Table on
the Takeover Panel's website at www.thetakeoverpanel.org.uk,
including details of the number of relevant securities in issue,
when the offer period commenced and when any offeror was first
identified. If you are in any doubt as to whether you are required
to make an Opening Position Disclosure or a Dealing Disclosure, you
should contact the Panel's Market Surveillance Unit on +44 (0)20
7638 0129."
