LETTER TO SHAREHOLDERS FROM THE NON-EXECUTIVE CHAIRMAN

CAMBIUM GLOBAL TIMBERLAND LIMITED

(in liquidation)

(a closed-ended investment company incorporated in Jersey, Channel Islands, with registration number 95719)

Antony R Gardner-Hillman(Non-Executive Chairman)

Dear Shareholder,

NOTICE OF ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING

Winding up report

Cambium formerly owned plantation forests in various countries. All have now been sold.

Following its exit from its entire portfolio of properties and having declared to date two capital distributions in the course of its liquidation, the Company itself is left with residual cash at bank amounting to approximately £ 276,525, stated as at 6 March, 2024 (the Latest Practicable Date).

The Company's wholly owned subsidiary Cambium Brazil MG Investimentos Florestais Ltda, incorporated in Brazil (CBMG), holds cash at bank amounting to approximately R$ 1,618 or £258 (£1 : R$6.28), stated as at the Latest Practicable Date, and is the defendant in Court proceedings in the State of Minas Gerais in Brazil brought by the State (the Brazil Proceedings). The State is pursuing CBMG for the recovery of tax claimed to be due in the principal amount of R$ 5,031,785.47, plus interest and costs. CBMG is contesting the Brazil Proceedings. The balance held by the Company's wholly owned subsidiary 3R Tocantins Investimentos Florestais Ltda (3R) amounts to approximately R$ 826,209 or £131,500 (using the same exchange rate).

The Brazil Proceedings are at risk of delaying the eventual winding up and dissolution of CBMG and causing a consequential delay in the final cash distribution expected to be made by Cambium immediately prior to its own eventual dissolution.

In an effort to overcome that delay, the Directors have negotiated and agreed terms subject to contract for the transfer of ownership of the Company's two first tier subsidiaries (incorporated in the British Virgin Islands), namely Cambium MG Holdings Limited and Cambium Minas Holdings Limited (the BVI subsidiaries). The BVI subsidiaries together wholly own CBMG and 3R. The Directors' view is that the proposal for such transfers (the Proposal), if concluded, is in shareholder's interests as it will uncomplicate the process towards eventual dissolution of the Company and reduce ongoing maintenance costs of the

5

corporate structure, and is expected to facilitate and improve the expected final cash distribution referred to above.

The terms of the Proposal require that:

  1. The Directors continue sine die as the directors of the BVI subsidiaries, without remuneration. In lieu of remuneration, the Directors have been offered an equity shareholding in the BVI subsidiaries as from completion of the Proposal amounting to 40% in the aggregate.
  2. The cash at bank in Brazil, referred to above, is applied between now and the completion of the Proposal only in paying the ordinary costs of maintenance of CBMG and 3R, with the balance as at the date of such completion remaining in the CBMG and 3R accounts. The expectation is that such balance will be applied by the new owners in or towards the costs of the defence of the Brazil Proceedings. If such defence is successful and a balance remains, such balance will accrue to the benefit of the new owners of CBMG and 3R. Any consequences of an unsuccessful defence, including any possible cash deficiency, will be for the account of the new owners and the management of the company under and subject to relevant law.

The Directors understand that the offeror under the Proposal has the aim, as yet not clearly specified, of utilising the four subsidiaries in a new investment fund structure which is intended to acquire new capital for investment in Brazil.

The Directors have considered the uncertainty of risks in light of the Brazil Proceedings and the possibility of any other unforeseen circumstances which may come to light, potentially affecting the solvency of any of the four subsidiaries and the Directors' personal positions. Notwithstanding such risks, the Directors have indicated a willingness to go ahead so as in their view to facilitate the conclusion of Cambium's journey in the shortest possible timescale from now and with what they regard as likely to be the best outcome for Shareholders. However, they are prepared to do so only with Shareholder consent indicated by way of ordinary resolution at the AGM.

Distributions

Shareholders have previously been informed that it would not be possible to make payment of any distribution to any particular Shareholder if verification of such Shareholder's identity has been requested, and not provided to the satisfaction of the Directors, so as to enable full compliance with all applicable regulatory, anti-money laundering and other due diligence requirements, including those of the company secretary in relation to its own procedures.

A number of Shareholders have either not commenced, or have commenced and not pursued or completed, such verification after being requested to do so ("non-compliantshareholders"). The aggregate sum of approximately £424,906.03 intended for distribution remains with the Registrar (after deducting the aggregate value of distribution cheques posted to Shareholders on 22 February 2024 and 7 March 2024, whether or not yet cleared). The Directors have considered the impediment to the Company's eventual dissolution caused by ongoing failure of non-compliant shareholders to complete required identity verification. They have determined that it is in the interests of the Company to give notice to non-compliant shareholders of a final date for such verification to be completed, failing which the amount earmarked for distribution to such Shareholders will be forfeited and form part of the aggregate amount of the anticipated final distribution to be made to compliant Shareholders. To enable that, the Directors propose the amendments to the Company's Articles of Association referred to in Resolution 8 referred to in the Notice of AGM appearing at the end of this document. Subject to that resolution being passed at the AGM, the Directors wish it to be clearly understood that the period of one year referred to in the proposed new article

27.10 will expire on 23 May 2024 and that any Shareholder who remains non-compliant on that date should expect any unpaid distribution entitlement in his favour to be cancelled and the amount of such distribution entitlement to be forfeited.
