IN RESPONDING TO ITEM 11.D.5, IT SHOULD BE NOTED THAT IN EARLY 2012 THE SHAREHOLDERS OF FONDO LATAM PERU ("THE FUND") DENIED ACCESS SEAF SAFI, A RELYING ADVISOR OF SEAF, ITS RIGHT TO RETAIN CERTAIN EXIT PROCEEDS THEREBY LEAVING THE FUND WITH INSUFFICIENT LIQUIDITY TO PAY ITS LIABILITIES.

AS A RESULT, ACCESS SEAF SAFI NO LONGER NEEDED TO RETAIN ITS REGISTRATION AND ITS REGISTRATION WAS SUBSEQUENTLY CANCELLED BY THE PERUVIAN FINANCIAL REGULATOR (THE SMV).
