Dear Shareholders

PROPOSED AUTHORITY TO ALLOT SHARES AT LESS THAN PREVAILING NET ASSET VALUE PER SHARE IN CONNECTION WITH

A PROPOSED ISSUANCE OF CONVERTIBLE BONDSand

PROPOSED AMENDMENT TO THE INVESTING POLICY

1. INTRODUCTIONAs announced by the Company on 14 March 2013, the Company is proposing to issue €50 million ofnew Euro Convertible Bonds and up to US$30 million of new US$ Convertible Bonds. The proceeds ofthe Euro Bond Issue will be principally used by the Company, (i) to provide the Company with furtherfunds to make opportunistic investments in attractive distressed assets or other projects that can be NetAsset Value accretive for the Company, and (ii) to establish and seed Dolphin Capital Americas a newinvestment platform to become the holding entity for the Company’s existing Americas projects – PlayaGrande Club & Reserve, Dominican Republic (www.playagrande.com, “Playa Grande”) and Pearl IslandResort, Panama (www.pearlisland.com, “Pearl Island”) and further expand in the Americas.

The Company’s subsidiary, DCI Holdings Seven Ltd, as the issuer of the Playa Grande Bonds willshortly launch a conditional Tender Offer to holders of the Playa Grande Bonds to purchase the PlayaGrande Bonds held by such holders at an amount equal to the par value of such bonds plus accruedinterest. The proceeds of the US$ Bond Issue will be used to fund the consideration (if any) payablepursuant to the Tender Offer.

Together, the Third Point Funds and the Monarch Funds have entered into conditional subscriptionagreements with the Company pursuant to the terms of which the Third Point Funds and the MonarchFunds have agreed to, (i) fully backstop the Euro Bond Issue, and (ii) backstop up to US$28 million ofthe US$ Bond Issue, in agreed proportions.

The price at which Shares will be issued upon any conversion of either the Euro Convertible Bonds orthe US$ Convertible Bonds will be less than the then prevailing Net Asset Value per Share. In theAdmission Document it was stated that the Company would not issue Shares at a price less than thethen prevailing Net Asset Value per Share. It is therefore proposed to seek a derogation to this policyfrom Shareholders at the EGM to allow the issuance of Shares upon conversion of either the EuroConvertible Bonds or the US$ Convertible Bonds at a price which is less than the then prevailing NetAsset Value per Share at the time of conversion.

In addition, the Board is proposing an amendment to the investing policy of the Company to formallybroaden the Company’s geographical investment area to include the Americas.

6

Further details of these matters are set out below.

2. DETAILS OF THE ISSUE

Euro Bond Issue – termsThe Company is proposing to issue €50 million of senior, unsecured Euro Convertible Bonds due 2018.The basic terms of the Euro Convertible Bonds are:

● Coupon – 5.50 per cent. per annum, payable semi-annually in arrears in equal instalments on30 June and 31 December in each year, beginning 30 June 2013 with a short first and final coupon.

● Maturity date – the 5th anniversary of the issue date.

● Conversion period – the conversion right may be exercised at the option of the holder from thedate being 3 months after the closing date of the Euro Bond Issue until the close of business onthe day falling seven calendar days prior to the maturity date.

● Initial conversion price – €0.5737 per Share (representing £0.50 per Share converted into Euros atthe fixed exchange rate of £1.00: €1.1474).

● Denomination – €10,000 per Euro Convertible Bond subject to a minimum subscription of€100,000.

● Settlement – in definitive form or in dematerialised form via DTC at the option of the bondholder.

● The Euro Convertible Bonds will not, on issue, be listed or quoted on any stock or securitiesexchange.

It is expected that the closing and settlement of the Euro Bond Issue will take place on 4 April and5 April 2013 respectively.

Euro Bond Issue – use of proceedsThe proceeds of the Euro Bond Issue will be principally used by the Company, (i) to provide theCompany with further funds to make opportunistic investments in attractive distressed assets or otherprojects that can be Net Asset Value accretive for the Company, and (ii) to establish and seed a newDolphin Capital Americas investment platform which will become the holding entity for the Company’sexisting Americas projects, Playa Grande (Dominican Republic) and Pearl Island (Panama).

Given the current economic environment particularly in Greece and Cyprus, there are several availableland and resort assets in prime locations that can be acquired at a significant discount to both theirreplacement costs and fair values, whilst there are currently almost no local or international institutionalinvestors active in the market.

In addition, the Company intends, following commencement, but prior to the expiration of, the TenderOffer, and prior to the completion of the US$ Bond Issue, to transfer its Americas projects, Playa Grandeand Pearl Island, into a common holding platform (“Dolphin Capital Americas”). Dolphin CapitalAmericas will, (i) continue the development of the Playa Grande and Pearl Island projects with the aimof realising significant returns for Shareholders, and (ii) pursue further Net Asset Value accretive,attractively-priced or distressed acquisitions in the Americas. Following the formation of DolphinCapital Americas, the Company will look at optimum alternatives to further capitalise, grow and realisevalue from the platform.

Axia Ventures Group Ltd., a privately-owned investment banking boutique, has acted as a financialadviser to the Company in connection with the Euro Bond Issue.

US$ Bond Issue – termsThe Company is proposing to issue up to US$30 million of senior, unsecured US$ Convertible Bondsdue 2018. The basic terms of the US$ Convertible Bonds are:

● Coupon – 7.00 per cent. per annum, payable semi-annually in arrears in equal instalments on30 June and 31 December in each year, beginning 30 June 2013 with a short first and final coupon.

● Maturity date – the 5th anniversary of the issue date.

7

● Conversion period – the conversion right may be exercised at the option of the holder from thedate being 3 months after the closing date of the Euro Bond Issue until the close of business onthe day falling seven calendar days prior to the maturity date.

● Initial conversion price – US$0.6717 per Share (representing £0.45 per Share converted into US$at the fixed exchange rate of £1.00:US$1.4928).

● Denomination – US$10,000 per US$ Convertible Bond subject to a minimum subscription of theUS$ equivalent of €100,000.

● Settlement – in definitive form or in dematerialised form via DTC at the option of the bondholder.

● The US$ Convertible Bonds will not, on issue, be listed or quoted on any stock or securitiesexchange.

It is expected that the closing and settlement of the US$ Bond Issue will take place on 19 April and22 April 2013 respectively following the closing of the Tender Offer.

US$ Bond Issue – use of proceeds and the Tender OfferAs part of the establishment of the Dolphin Capital Americas platform, the Playa Grande project willbe transferred to a new wholly-owned holding company, and will no longer form part of the assets ofDCI Holdings Seven Ltd, the Company’s subsidiary, which is the current owner of the Playa Grandeproject and the issuer of the US$40 million Playa Grande Bonds.

The partial refinancing of the existing Playa Grande Bonds will improve the platform’s prospects forattracting new investors or joint venture partners and, for further expanding in the region. In addition,the proposal partial refinancing of the existing Playa Grande Bonds is expected to free-up an amountof Aman lots in the Playa Grande project which would have been exchangeable against the Playa GrandeBonds retired at a discount to their retail value and will now become available for sale, thus adding tothe project’s expected cash flows and profitability.

In this respect, the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary, DCI Holdings Seven Ltd, as issuer of the PlayaGrande Bonds, will launch the Tender Offer to the holders of the Playa Grande Bonds. Under the termsof the Tender Offer, DCI Holdings Seven Ltd will offer to acquire all the Playa Grande Bonds at parvalue together with accrued interest. Fortress Investment Group, LLC, which through an affiliate, holdsUS$12 million of the issued Playa Grande Bonds has indicated to the Company that it does not intendto tender any bonds pursuant to the Tender Offer. In the event that the aggregate principal amount ofPlaya Grande Bonds tendered pursuant to the Tender Offer, together with accrued interest payablethereon, exceeds US$28 million, DCI Holdings Seven Ltd will have the option, at its discretion, to scaleback tender applications, together with accrued interest payable thereon, to not less than US$28 million.

The proceeds of the US$ Bond Issue will be used by the Company and DCI Holdings Seven Ltd to fundthe consideration (if any) payable pursuant to the Tender Offer. The final proceeds raised by the US$Bond Issue will therefore be scaled back as required by the Company to the consideration due underthe Tender Offer. The Tender Offer is subject to conditions including that Playa Grande Bonds with aminimum par value of US$1 million are tendered under the Tender Offer. In the event that this condition,or any other condition to which the Tender Offer is subject, is not satisfied, both the Tender Offer andthe US$ Bond Issue will lapse and will not proceed. Any Playa Grande Bonds purchased by DCIHoldings Seven Ltd pursuant to the Tender Offer will be cancelled.

Backstopping arrangementsThe Company has entered into conditional subscription agreements with, (i) the Third Point Funds,and (ii) the Monarch Funds to fully backstop the Euro Bond Issue and up to US$28 million of the US$Bond Issue in agreed proportions.

Third Point is an SEC-registered investment adviser based in New York, with over US$11.8 billion inassets under management. Pursuant to the Company’s share issuance in October 2012 funds under thediscretionary management of Third Point currently hold approximately 20.08 per cent. of the Company’sissued share capital.

8

Monarch is an SEC-registered private investment firm with nearly US$5.5 billion in assets undermanagement.

In relation to the Euro Bond Issue, the Third Point Funds have conditionally committed to subscribefor up to €36 million of the Euro Convertible Bonds subject to receiving a minimum allocation of€20 million of the Euro Convertible Bonds. In addition, the Monarch Funds have conditionallycommitted to subscribe for up to €14 million of the Euro Convertible Bonds subject to receiving aminimum allocation of €7 million of the Euro Convertible Bonds.

In relation to the US$ Bond Issue, the Third Point Funds have conditionally committed to subscribe forup to US$20 million of the US$ Convertible Bonds. In addition, the Monarch Funds have conditionallycommitted to subscribe for up to US$8 million of the US$ Convertible Bonds. Subject to the final sizeof the US$ Bond Issue being equal to or greater than US$14 million, the Third Point Funds will receivea minimum allocation of US$10 million and the Monarch Funds a minimum allocation of US$4 millionof the US$ Convertible Bonds.

Where Convertible Bonds are issued pursuant to these backstop arrangements they will be allocatedand issued between the Third Point Funds and the Monarch Funds pro rata based upon the aggregateamounts backstopped by each party.

In the event that the US$ equivalent value of the aggregate Euro Convertible Bonds and US$ ConvertibleBonds issued to the Third Point Funds exceeds US$50 million, the Third Point Funds will receive abackstop commission equal to two per cent. of the US$ equivalent of the incremental value of the bondsissued to the Third Point Funds in excess of US$50 million. This commission will be settled by theCompany through the issuance of further US$ Convertible Bonds, with an equivalent US$ par value,to the Third Point Funds.

The Company has the discretion to accept, (i) up to €23 million of subscriptions in relation to the EuroBond Issue, and (ii) up to US$14 million of subscriptions in relation to the US$ Bond Issue from certain,limited categories of investors by scaling down the Third Point Fund’s and the Monarch Fund’sallocations. Further details of how Eligible Persons can participate are set out at paragraph 3 below.

The relevant conditional subscription agreements with the Third Point Funds and the Monarch Fundswere executed on 14 March 2013. Completion of the various subscriptions is subject to the satisfactionof a number of material pre-conditions including, amongst others, the approval of the Resolutions atthe EGM.

Related party transactionAs funds under the discretionary management of Third Point currently hold 20.08 per cent. of theCompany’s issued share capital, the entry into of the conditional subscription agreement with, the issueof any Convertible Bonds to, and the associated backstopping arrangements with, the Third Point Fundsnoted above constitute a “related party transaction” for the purposes of the AIM Rules. In accordancewith the AIM Rules, the Board, having consulted with the Nominated Adviser, believes the entry intoof the conditional subscription agreement with, the issue of any Convertible Bonds to, and the associatedbackstopping arrangements with, the Third Point Funds are fair and reasonable insofar as theShareholders are concerned.

3. PARTICIPATION IN THE ISSUE BY ELIGIBLE PERSONSThe Company has the discretion to accept, (i) up to €23 million of subscriptions in relation to the EuroBond Issue, and (ii) up to US$14 million of subscriptions in relation to the US$ Bond Issue from certain,limited categories of investors by scaling down the Third Point Fund’s and the Monarch Fund’sallocations. All subscriptions under the Issue will be conditional, amongst other things, on the passingof the Resolutions at the EGM (or any adjourned meeting).

Members of the public will not be eligible to participate in the Allocation to Eligible Persons and nopublic offer of the Convertible Bonds is being made in any jurisdiction. The opportunity to participatein the Allocation to Eligible Persons is available to Shareholders on the register of members on 20 March2013 who are not residents of the United States of America, Canada, Australia or Japan (“Eligible

9

Shareholders”). In addition, to the extent that available Convertible Bonds are not taken up by EligibleShareholders, the Company or the Manager may selectively approach other third party investors whoare not residents of the United States of America, Canada, Australia or Japan to participate in theAllocation to Eligible Persons (such persons together with Eligible Shareholders shall be referred to as“Eligible Persons”). Any such third party investors will be persons to whom participation in theAllocation to Eligible Persons may be lawfully offered pursuant to the Financial Promotion Orderincluding Investment Professionals as defined in article 19(5) and High Net Worth Companies etc. asdefined in article 49(2) of the Financial Promotion Order.

An application by an Eligible Person under the Allocation to Eligible Persons must be for a minimumsubscription amount of €100,000 (or currency equivalent). Allocations shall be determined at the solediscretion of the Board after taking into account, amongst other things, the size and tenure of existingshareholdings in the Company and the size of applications under the Allocation to Eligible Persons.The Board retains the right to scale back or refuse any subscriptions at its sole discretion. In particular,where the final required size of the US$ Bond Issue (taking into account tenders received under theTender Offer) is equal to, or less than, US$14 million any applications for US$ Convertible Bondsreceived from Eligible Persons will be scaled back to zero and the US$ Convertible Bonds issued will beissued only to the Third Point Funds and the Monarch Funds on a pro rata basis.

It is the responsibility of all Eligible Persons who are citizens or nationals of, or resident in, jurisdictionsoutside the United Kingdom (“Overseas Persons”) to satisfy themselves as to the observance of all legaland regulatory requirements in their jurisdiction, including, without limitation, all relevant requirementsin relation to the ability of such persons to participate in the Allocation to Eligible Persons. Theparticipation of Overseas Persons in the Issue may, at the sole discretion of the Board, be made subjectto such requirements as the Board in its discretion determines necessary.

If you are in any doubt about your position, you should consult your professional adviser in the relevantterritory.

Eligible Persons who wish to participate in the Allocation to Eligible Persons should contact the Managerto express their interest as soon as possible.

The deadline for receipt of expressions of interest from Eligible Shareholders is 5.00 p.m. (UK Time)26 March 2013. Any Convertible Bonds not taken up by Eligible Persons will be allocated to Third Pointand Monarch pursuant to the backstopping arrangements described above.

The Directors are making no recommendation in relation to participation in the Allocation to EligiblePersons. Whether or not an Eligible Shareholder decides to participate is a matter for such EligibleShareholder to decide, and will be influenced by their own individual financial and tax circumstancesand their investment objectives.

4. SHAREHOLDER APPROVAL OF THE ISSUEIn the Admission Document, the Board undertook to exercise its general authority to allot newauthorised but unissued Common Shares at a price which is not less than the then prevailing Net AssetValue per Share. The Board believes the issuance of Common Shares upon conversion of any of theConvertible Bonds to be in the best interests of the Company and is therefore convening the EGM topropose Resolution 1, as an ordinary resolution, to approve a derogation from this undertaking in orderto authorise the Board to issue the Common Shares at a price below the prevailing Net Asset Value perShare pursuant to the conversion of any of the Convertible Bonds.

5. EFFECT ON THE PLAYA GRANDE BONDS AND THE WARRANTSThe Playa Grande Bonds can be converted into Shares at US$0.7239 per Share (£0.453 using a fixedexchange rate of US$1.5995:£1.00).

On 30 December 2011, as part of a €8.5 million equity raising, the Company also issued 5,054,889Warrants to subscribe for new Shares (on a one-for-one basis) at an adjusted exercise price of £0.317per Share pursuant to the terms of the Warrant Instrument.

10

The Playa Grande Bonds and the Warrant Instrument contain certain standard provisions to adjusttheir respective conversion prices if, wholly for cash, the Company, (i) issues any Shares; or (ii) issues orgrants any options, warrants or other rights to subscribe for or purchase or otherwise acquire any Shares,in each case at a price per Share which is less than 95 per cent. of the market price of the Shares on thedate of issuance of such new securities.

Accordingly, the conversion price of the Playa Grande Bonds (as maybe outstanding following thecompletion of the Tender Offer) and the Warrants will be adjusted if the issue of the new Shares is at aprice per Share which is less than 95 per cent. of the market price per Share at the time of issuance ofthe Convertible Bonds.

6. AMENDMENT TO INVESTING POLICYIn the Admission Document the Company’s investment strategy and investing policy was described as:

“The investment objective of the Company is to provide Shareholders with strong capital growthcombined with a low risk profile through investment in sophisticated leisure-integrated residentialresort developments in Southeast Europe (principally Greece, Cyprus, Turkey and Croatia) inpartnership with leading developers and operators”.

In addition, it was stated:

“The Directors and the Manager believe that the countries which offer the most attractive locationsfor such [P]rojects are Greece, Cyprus, Turkey and Croatia. The Company’s investment activity isconcentrated on these four countries with particular emphasis being given to Greece and Cyprus.The Company may also invest in Projects in neighbouring countries, should the Directors considerthat such investments would be complementary to the Company’s investment portfolio or offerattractive investment returns” (Greece, Cyprus, Turkey, Croatia and neighbouring countries beingknown as the “Primary Investment Region”).

In 2007, the Board resolved to vary this policy with the effect that the Company would have the abilityto invest into other geographies outside the Primary Investment Region that demonstrate similar valueupside characteristics to this regional focus and that would enable the Company to enhance existing, orcreate new strategic, relationships with international service providers/operators (such as master-planners,golf designers, hotel operators and developers) that are for the benefit of the Company’s investments inthe Primary Investment Region. It was resolved, however, that these investments outside of the PrimaryInvestment Region in aggregate would not exceed 5 per cent. of the Company’s last reported Net AssetValue at the time an investment was made.

In the years following 2007, the Americas region has grown in prominence for the Company as a regionto source attractively priced investment opportunities, including both the Playa Grande (DominicanRepublic) and Pearl Islands (Panama) projects, which have become two of the Company advancedprojects. The Board and the Manager believe that with the creation of the Dolphin Capital Americaplatform, the Americas region will continue to increase in prominence for the Company and furtherinvestment opportunities at attractive or distressed valuations will continue to become available.

The Board, therefore, is proposing, by way of Resolution 2 at the EGM, a formal amendment to theinvesting policy of the Company to broaden the Company’s geographical investment area to include theAmericas region which will become the Company’s “Secondary Investment Region” and, provided thatinvestments in the Secondary Investment Region do not exceed one third of the Company’s last reportedNet Asset Value at the time an investment is made, there will be no further restrictions on the amountof the Company’s funds which may be invested in the Secondary Investment Region.
