BlackRock Hedge Selector Ltd ("the Company") Completion of December 2013 Redemption As approved at the Extraordinary General Meeting of the Company on 11 April 2013, the Company has introduced a discretionary quarterly Redemption Mechanism for up to a maximum of 20 per cent. of the UK Emerging Companies Shares in issue at the relevant Redemption Notification Date. All redemptions are implemented at the absolute discretion of the Directors. The December 2013 Redemption opportunity under this mechanism was for the Discount Calculation Period ended 30 September 2013, and the deadline for elections to participate in this redemption was 18 October 2013. As announced on 21 October 2013, holders of 3,005,454 UK Emerging Companies Shares (10.4% of the UK Emerging Companies Shares excluding treasury shares) elected to redeem their holding. A total of 1,950,000 UK Emerging Companies Shares (being 65% per cent of the total number of shares redeemed), were redeemed by one holder. The redemption will be satisfied in full. Based on a Net Asset Value for the UK Emerging Companies Shares at 31 December 2013 of 140.251 pence per share, less the costs of implementing the December Redemption, total proceeds of 140.217 pence per share will be paid to Redeeming UK Emerging Companies Shareholders on or around 16 January 2014. The redeemed shares will be cancelled. Therefore following implementation of the December 2013 Redemption, the Company will have 25,937,505 UK Emerging Companies Shares in issue (excluding shares held in treasury). The Company currently holds an additional 2,894,295 UK Emerging Companies Shares in Treasury. With effect from the date the December Redemption is implemented (expected to be on or around 16 January 2014) the Company will also cancel 300,545 shares from Treasury, and will therefore hold 2,593,750 shares in Treasury from this date (all on the basis that there are no other movements in the Company's issued share capital between the date of this announcement and the implementation date of the December redemption.
