What happens to your capital? Your money will be used to purchase a bond issued by a Standard & Poor’s “A+” rated financial institution, who utilises a range of financial instruments to provide exactly the returns explained in this brochure. You should only consider this investment if you are prepared to accept a degree of risk to your capital and, as the plan is designed to be held for the full investment period, do not require access to your money during the investment term.

Why Arc Capital & Income? Arc Capital & Income plc (“ACI”) has been developing and offering structured products, such as the Bull & Bear Tracker Plan since 1997, and has approximately £120 million under management. ACI is part of the Arc Fund Management Holdings plc, an AIM quoted investment company.

Arc Capital & Income – Fixed Income Plan The Plan is a five year investment and is designed to provide a choice of annual or monthly income which is payable irrespective of stockmarket performance. The return of capital at the end of the term is dependent on the performance of the FTSE 100, S&P500 and Nikkei 225 so is not guaranteed, but the Plan does provide some protection if these indices do fall (see Calculating the capital return on page 3). This product can help in improving the income you receive from your capital and can represent an appropriate way of investing part of your capital providing you are comfortable with the investment risks.

No Stockmarket growth required The income payments are not dependent on the performance of the three indices. The Plan also requires no growth in any of the indices in order to return your original capital in full at the end of the term. A full return of capital will be paid at maturity as long as no index falls by more than 30% from its Initial Level on any day during the investment term 31 October 2007 to 31 October 2012. In this event, the return of your capital could be affected as described below. For each index, the Initial Level will be its closing

A reduced capital return can only apply if * one or more of the indices falls by more than 30% from its Initial Level during the investment term AND * the final level of one or more index is below its Initial Level

In this event your capital would be reduced with reference to the lowest performing index. Any capital reduction would be at the rate of 1% for each 1% that the Final Level of the lowest performing index is below its Initial Level. Examples of returns based on an investment of £10,000 are set out overleaf:

IMPORTANT – please note The information in the table is designed to provide examples of the calculation of the total returns in different circumstances. They are not a prediction of how we think the indices will perform. The capital return is not protected and there is a risk of a capital loss. The overall return, including income, could be less than your original investment. This high income product can help you improve the income you get from your capital and can be a



suitable way of investing part of your investment portfolio providing you are comfortable with the investment risk. You should only consider this Plan as part of your investment portfolio if you are prepared to accept a degree of risk to all or part of the capital invested. As the Plan is designed to be held for the full investment period you should only invest if you do not require access to your funds during the 5 year investment term. If you cash in early you may receive back less than the original investment.

Your Plan will invest in a bond issued by a financial institution with a “A+” Standard & Poor’s rating. We consider it unlikely that such an institution will not meet its obligations: If they were not to do so, you may not get back all your original investment.

Why should I consider investing in the Arc Fixed Income Plan 2?

* PEP & ISA Transfers close

As we write, UK base rates have increased by 1.25% over the past 12 months and there is a strong consensus among City analysts and supported by the recent comments of Mervyn King, Governor of the Bank of England, that a further ¼ point rise to 6% will be necessary to cool the economy, in particular the housing market, and to temper inflationary pressures.

It is important for you to consider the trends of the three underlying stockmarkets, now, over the life of the Plan and at the end of its term before investing. The current level of uncertainty and volatility in world stockmarkets is the main reason that the 9%

Regardless of what happens to prevailing market rates, the Arc Plan will pay an annual income of 9% or 0.73% monthly over its full 5 year term. Compared to current high street rates, let alone the reduced returns anticipated in the future, the Plan is highly competitive. The extra return offered by the Plan can only be achieved by the investor accepting a degree of risk, which is the possibility of reduced capital if the three underlying stockmarkets fall by more than 30% at anytime during the five year term and do not recover. If the 30% is breached by any or all of the indices initial capital will be reduced with reference to the performance of the lowest index over the full term.

The chart above describes the currently anticipated progression of spot interest rates but it does not reflect the rates investors receive on their deposits with high street banks and building societies which can be expected to be marginally lower, save for short term and limited headline grabbing offerings. Retail rates will inevitably reflect the downward movement in wholesale money market interest rates.

The charts below detail the performance of the FTSE100, S&P 500 and Nikkei 225 indices since inception of the FTSE 100 index in April 1984 and are designed to emphasise the long term nature of equity investment. You will note the tendency for the FTSE 100 and S&P 500 to closely correspond with each other over time. You should however bear in mind that past performance of the Indices is not a guide to how they will perform in the future.

FTSE 100 Index measures the performance of the UK’s largest 100 companies by market capitalisation. The index is a capital only index, in that it makes no allowance for dividend income, and its performance is dependent upon the performance of the companies within the Index. The companies that make up the index can change regularly but currently include, HSBC, BP, Vodafone and GlaxoSmithKline.

ated that by basing the Plan on three indices the chances of one breaching the 30% barrier is increased but as the FTSE100 & S&P 500 have had a tendency to correlate in the past, it is our belief that the increase in risk is marginal. It should also be borne in mind that the capital return will be based on the worst performing index only.

At the time of writing, higher interest building society/bank accounts, where initial capital is not put at risk, are typically producing 6.25% p.a. gross, compared to the Plan’s 9.00% p.a. gross (8.76% p.a. for monthly income).

How to Invest in the Arc Capital & Income – Fixed Income Plan

There is no age restriction for direct investment in to the Plan. To invest via an ISA for the current tax year, you must be a UK resident for tax purposes, aged 18 or over- and must not have already subscribed to another ISA for the 2007/2008 tax year.

IMPORTANT Cheques should be made payable to Arc Capital & Income plc Client Account – or, in the case of a building society cheque, Arc Capital & Income plc Client Account reference (your name). It is only necessary to send one cheque for the total amount you wish to invest. Separate applications (e.g. from a husband and wife) require a cheque in respect of each applicant.

Before you invest Before you make your mind up to invest you should have read and understood the information in this brochure. You should have thought about the level



of risk you are prepared to take when investing; made sure that you are comfortable about taking some risk with your capital; made sure you will not suddenly need access to your money and that you have acquainted yourself with the FSA factsheet (see page 12). Once you have satisfied yourself that you do want to invest you should complete the application form, using the application checklist below:

Application Checklist 1. Unless you want to transfer your PEP or ISA (see 7 below), you must fill in section 1 of the standard application form. It is only possible to have a joint holder for a direct investment in the plan. If you want to use this facility, please fill in the details of the joint holder in the relevant boxes in section 1. For direct investment on behalf of a child (under the age of 18), the adult filling in the form acts as a nominee of the child and the child’s name and date of birth need to be added.

4. By providing a password in section 4, we can give you information over the phone and give you access to our web-based services. Please keep a note of your password safely and separate from details of your investment. 5. Please indicate if you have received financial advice in section 5 6. You must read, sign and date section 6. 7. If you want to transfer a PEP or an ISA, you should use the special application form (please photocopy it or contact us for more forms if you are transferring more than one investment).

2. If you want to invest in an ISA for the tax year 2007/2008, you must also fill in section 2. We need this information to set up an ISA investment for HM Revenue and Customs. 3. You should enter the details of the amount you want to invest in section 3.



Your Questions Answered What is my commitment? To invest until 7 Novemer 2012, a period of 5 years and 1 week. What are the aims of the Plan? The aim of the Fixed Income Plan (“Plan”) is to provide * 5 annual payments of 9.00% or 60 monthly payments of 0.73% and

* For these reasons, this Plan is only suitable if you can afford and are prepared to accept the risk that some or all of your capital could be lost. * If you choose to make a PEP or ISA transfer into the Plan you might have to pay an exit charge and could lose some investment growth from your current PEP or ISA if the market rises while the transfer is being carried out. * The levels and basis of taxation and reliefs from taxation can change at any time. The value of any tax reliefs depends on individual circumstances. Tax assumptions are based on Arc Capital & Income plc’s understanding of current legislation and practice, which may change in the future.

* A return of capital at maturity on 7 November 2012.

What are my income benefits?

At maturity, you will have the option of closing your plan, or transferring to another ISA/PEP Manager or continuing your investment on terms offered by the Plan Manager, Arc Capital & Income plc, at that time.

The following examples are based on a £10,000 investment:

What are the risk factors? * The overall returns will depend on the performance of the FTSE 100, S&P 500 and the Nikkei 225 indices and could be less than your original investment (see “What about my capital return?” overleaf and “Calculating the Capital Return” on page 3 of this brochure). * Your circumstances could change, forcing you to cash in early. * If you transfer or encash your Plan during the term you may get back less than the amount invested. * If you exercise your right to cancel after the bond has been purchased you may not get back your full original investment. * If the financial institution, which issues the bonds for your Plan, fails to repay the amounts due to pay your income and maturity you could lose some or all of your investment. To reduce this risk we will only deal with a financial institution which has a current credit rating of at least A+ from Standard & Poor’s, or equivalent, which denotes a high level of financial strength.

10

* If you choose monthly income you will receive 60 monthly payments of £73 commencing 30 November 2007 and concluding 31 October 2012; * If you choose annual income you will receive five payments of £900 the first commencing on 31 October 2008 and concluding 31 October 2012.

These amounts are subject to tax for investments made outside a PEP or ISA. What about my Capital Return? The Plan is not guaranteed to return the full amount of capital originally invested. The Capital Return, which is paid separately from the income benefits, is dependant on the performance of FTSE 100 Index, S&P 500 and the Nikkei 225 Index (the indices) during the Investment Period 31 October 2007 to 31 October 2012. The Initial Level of each index is its close of business level on 29 August 2007. The Final Level of each index is its close of business level on 31 October 2012. If, at any time during the Investment Period, no index falls by over 30% from its Initial Level a full return of capital will apply at maturity. A full return of capital will also apply. If any index falls by over 30% during the Investment Period but the Final

Level of each index is at or above its Initial Level.

* Removing the Mini/Maxi distinction within ISAs;

If any index falls by over 30% during the Investment Period and the Final Level of any index is less than its Initial Level, a capital loss will occur. The loss in capital will be dependant on the Final Level of the lowest performing Index. Capital will be reduced by 1% for each 1% the Final Level of the relevant Index is below its Initial Level.

* Allowing transfers from the cash component of ISAs into the stocks & shares component;

For example if the Final Level of the relevant index is 35% below its Initial Level the capital return would be 65% (100%-35%). Please see further examples in the table contained in “Calculating the Capital Return” on page 3 of this brochure.

What happens if I change my mind about investing?

What is an Individual Savings Account (ISA)? An ISA is a tax free savings account. There are two types of ISA available; Maxi ISA – this must offer a stocks and shares part and can offer a cash part. You may invest up to £7,000 in a Maxi ISA. Of this amount, up to £3,000 can be held in cash. If you take out a Maxi ISA, you cannot invest in another Maxi or a Mini ISA in the same tax year. Mini ISA – this offers investment in only one of the parts that a Maxi ISA offers. You can invest in one Mini ISA for each part in each tax year. Therefore you may invest up to £4,000 in a stocks and shares ISA and £3,000 in cash. Each part can be with a different provider. If you take out a Mini ISA, you cannot invest in another Mini ISA for the same part or a Maxi ISA in the same tax year. The Government has announced that its reforms to make ISAs simpler and more flexible will come into effect a year earlier than originally planned, in April 2008.

* Allowing Child Trust Fund accounts to roll over into ISAs to encourage young people to maintain a saving habit into their adult years.

If you decide not to invest you should let us know as soon as possible. Within 5 working days of accepting your application we will send you a ‘notice of the right to cancel. From the time you receive this notice you will have 14 days to change your mind and cancel your application. If we receive your request to cancel after we have purchased the bonds you may receive back less than your original investment. What information will you give me about my investment? We will send you an acknowledgement within 5 working days of receiving your application. In November we will send you a statement showing the bonds purchased for your plan. After this, we will issue a statement and valuation of your investment as at the end of October each year. What will happen to my investment if I die? ISA and PEP investments will lose their ISA and PEP status. We will deal with all plans in line with the instructions of your personal representatives. The investment may be transferred to your beneficiaries at no cost or encashed for which a charge will be made (see below).

The reforms include: * Extending ISAs indefinitely, with a guarantee that the overall annual investment will remain at least £7,000; * Bringing Legacy PEPs within the ISA wrapper to enable investors to manage their funds more effectively;

How much will any advice cost? If you receive advice from an independent adviser, he or she will give you details about the cost. If you are not receiving any advice, we may still pay an introducing independent adviser commission. Any commission paid will not affect the returns quoted.

11

Can I cash in my investment before maturity? Yes, but before you do so you should remember that the plan is designed to run for the full 5-year term. If you do decide to encash you should write to us with instructions to sell the plan investments and to send the net proceeds to you or another plan manager. We will usually be able to complete your instructions within 28 days. The value of your investment will be determined by the price at which we can sell the bonds held by your plan. This will depend on a number of things, including prevailing interest rates, the performance of the three indices and the limited secondary market in the bonds. There will be an administration charge of £150 (+ VAT), which may increase by the Retail Price Index (RPI) in the future.

What do I do if I am not happy with the way you are dealing with my plan? We will do our best to meet our high standards of customer care but if we fail to do so, please let us know. If we do not deal with your concerns you can make a complaint. We have a written complaint procedure and you can ask us for a copy of this at any time. If you are not happy with how we deal with your complaint, you can complain to the Financial Ombudsman Service at South Quay Plaza, 183 Marsh Wall, London E14 9SR. Making a complaint will not affect your right to take legal action. Please refer to the Terms and Conditions for information regarding the Financial Services Compensation Scheme.

Can I transfer my ISA or PEP to a new manager?

Will you advise me whether the Plan is suitable for me?

Yes, you can ask us to transfer your ISA or PEP to another manager at any time. If you decide to do so during the term of the plan we will encash the Bonds you hold on the terms outlined in ‘Can I cash in my investment before maturity’ above. Transfers to another plan manager before maturity will incur an additional administration charge of £100 (plus VAT), which may increase by RPI in the future. If you wish to transfer the proceeds at maturity to another Plan Manager there will not be a transfer fee.

No, we do not give you any advice as to whether the Plan is suitable for your own specific circumstances. If you do need such advice, or guidance on tax, you should consult an authorised financial adviser.

Further Information The Financial Services Authority (FSA) is an independent body set-up by the Government to regulate financial services. It publishes a range of factsheets and helpful information for consumers. As the high level of income payable from this investment is at the expense of placing your original capital at risk it is important that you understand and accept these risks before you invest. To assist you we have re-produced below some information from the FSA factsheet “Capital-atrisk-products” the factsheet generally explains how capital-at-risk products work and describes the risks that can be associated with them. You can also contact the FSA on the FSA Consumer Helpline on 0845 606 123 or visit their website at www.fsa.gov.uk/consumer

of the money you put in (your capital). Capital-atrisk products usually invest in a variety of stockmarket investments such as shares or debt securities. Debt securities include corporate bonds which are loans to organisations such as companies or the government. Products that put your capital at risk include: * Stockmarket - based investments. These include collective investment schemes (such as openended investment companies (OEICs) and unit trusts) and investment trusts; * investment bonds and funds that invest in debt securities, such as corporate bond funds; and * investments linked to the performance of a stockmarket or some other factor such as a collection of shares. These are usually for a fixed number of years (the ‘term’) and can be arranged to provide income or growth or a combination of both.

As an alternative, you could invest directly in:

What are capital-at-risk products? These are usually share-based investments from banking, insurance or investment management firms, and can offer attractive returns. Your investment could do as well as planned, or maybe better. But if it does not, you could lose some or all

* shares, and so benefit from any dividends paid; or * debt securities, for which you get fixed or variable interest.

But the value of direct holdings of shares and other securities can change sharply – down as well as up. Depending on its particular terms and conditions,

13

the value of an investment product linked directly or indirectly to the stockmarket may have lesser, similar or greater risk.

How do different capital-at-risk products usually work? Stockmarket-based investments A wide range of stockmarket-based investments is available. The performance of the investments depends on the investment strategy adopted and general stockmarket conditions. The value of stockmarket-based investments can alter sharply because they are linked to the performance of the underlying shares or bonds (ie what your money is actually invested in). Investment bonds and funds that invest in debt securities These vary widely and include distribution bonds, with-profits bonds, unit-linked bonds and corporate bond funds. The money you invest is usually put directly into the stockmarket (in London or overseas) or into fixed or variable interest funds. Investments linked to an index or other factor With some fixed-term products, repayment of the capital to the investor (in full or in part) is linked by a special pre-set formula to the performance of an index such as the FTSE 100 or maybe a combination of indexes or some other factor – such as the performance of a collection of shares. We call them ‘structured capital-at-risk products’. Some offer a specified level of income over a fixed period, while others offer growth that depends on the performance of an index or other factor (see the examples below). These products, and the risks involved, can vary widely. For example, some may involve ‘gearing’ (the use of borrowing that can increase the amount you get back but will also increase the risks). Others can provide some element of capital protection. An example of a structured growth product is one that offers 30% growth over five years, but also

14

states that if the FTSE 100 index falls by more than 20% at the end of this period, then your capital is reduced by 1% for each 1% fall in the index. So if after five years the index fell by 50%, someone who invested £5,000 would still receive 30% as growth (£1,500) but the capital would have reduced to £2,500. So you would only get £4,000 from your original investment of £5,000. An example of a structured income product is one that offers 6% income a year for five years, but also states that if the FTSE 100 index falls at the end of this period, the capital is reduced by 2% for each 1% fall in the index. So if after five years the index fell by 25%, someone who invested £5,000 would still have received 6% income a year over the five years (a total of £1,500) but the capital would have reduced to £2,500. So you would only get £4,000 from your original investment of £5,000.

What are the main risks involved with capital-at-risk products?

* Your capital can fall below the amount you put in. This loss may significantly increase if the product structure involves gearing (see above); so falls in the index to which the investment is linked can result in an even greater reduction in the capital you invested. * The rate of return advertised might be achieved only after a set period – perhaps five years; you may not know until that date how well your investment has performed. * The rate of return you get may depend on specific conditions being met. Even professionals may not be able to judge accurately how likely that will be. * If you take your money out early, you may get less than you put in: for example, there may be a penalty to be paid.

Points to think about before investing What is the difference between a capital-at-risk product and a savings account?

When you put your money in a bank or building society savings account, its original value doesn’t change and you also get interest. The return will be comparatively low, which reflects the fact that you haven’t risked your capital. With capital-at-risk products you may get higher returns, but you are putting your capital at risk and may end up with less than you put in. How do I know which product to choose? Consider your financial needs carefully: how much – if anything – can you afford to lose? And for how long can you afford to have your money tied up? Do your homework: shop around. Don’t just look at headline information, check the detail. Capital-atrisk products are not right for you if you can’t afford to lose money. But if you are willing to take risks to benefit from potentially higher rewards, there are many products to look at. What charges do I have to pay for these products? The charges vary and there may or may not be any. If there are charges, make sure you understand how they affect the value of your capital and income. Some funds deduct them from your initial investment. They may also take charges yearly, usually as a percentage of the total value of your ongoing investment. How long will my money be tied up? With most investments you should expect to tie up your money for some time. Some capital-at-risk products offer returns if you leave your capital with them for a fixed number of years. Other investments can continue indefinitely. Can I cash in my investment? Yes, you can usually cash in. But with some products you have to pay a penalty (known as a redemption penalty) if you cash them in before the maturity date. As a rule, never tie up money you may need in the short or medium term.

If the investment period is fixed, what happens at the end of it? At the end of a fixed period your investment will mature and you should get its maturity value. But the maturity value may be reduced by charges or a final adjustment if, for example, it depends on the value of an index. Depending on the terms and conditions of the product, you could end up losing some or all of your capital. Also, any income or growth you have received may be subject to tax. Will I get the advertised rate of return? This depends on the terms and conditions under which you have invested. Often the advertised rate merely illustrates what is possible, and is no more certain than that.

Checklist Decide how important it is to keep your capital intact. Remember that many investments are meant for the long term and are not for savings you may need quickly. Remember: capital-at-risk products should usually form only part of your total portfolio of savings and investments; and the value of such investments (and the income or growth from them) may fall as well as rise. Take advice if you are unsure whether or not an investment is right for you. Remember it’s your money, and your decision as to what to do with it. Don’t invest unless you fully understand what you’re investing in. Don’t run a risk you can’t afford.

ment. In particular you may have to pay tax. If we have to void your ISA because you are not eligible to apply for the ISA we have the right to deduct any costs or expenses. e. If your Plan is a PEP or an ISA and you live in the UK, you will not, under current tax rules, have to pay UK income tax or UK capital gains tax on the profit from the Plan but any losses on your Plan will be ignored for the purposes of UK capital gains tax. f. If your Plan is a Direct Investment you may, depending on your circumstances, have to pay tax on any interest, income or dividends you receive and/or on any capital gain from selling the Plan. g.

Such tax legislation, regulation and practice are subject to change in the future.

4. Basis of dealing a. We, or our associated companies, may choose and instruct brokers or dealers (including associated companies) to buy, sell and deal in Securities for your Plan. Or, we may do so ourselves as licensed dealers or brokers. b. We may keep all commissions or profits arising from those transactions. Your Plan will be debited

We will invest money held in an account in securities in line with the requirements of the regulations and the rules of the FSA. d.
