** The effective yield of the loans is the accounting yield based on the funded loan balances, which includes interest and fees. Some loans also enjoy equity upside participation, which is only recognised following evidenced high probability of receipt, which can result in significant incremental gains in excess of the accounting yield. The yield is based on Cheyne Capital’s pricing assumptions and actual returns may differ materially from those expressed or implied herein.
