There may be circumstances where debt investments are split between existing funds or transferred in whole or<br />

in part between funds. This may enable the funds managed by Babson Capital Europe to benefit from sufficiently<br />

large participations to maximise arrangement fees or meet the funds diversity/size requirements. No such<br />

transactions will be made unless the Collateral Manager believes they are in the best interests of the funds<br />

involved. If appropriate, third party or market valuations would be taken to validate transfer values.<br />
