Annual Report for the Year Ended 31 December 2009 Carador plc ("Carador" or the Company) has today released its Annual Report and Consolidated Audited Financial Statements for the period from 1 January 2009 to 31 December 2009. The Annual Report and Consolidated Audited Financial Statements will shortly be available from the Company's website www.carador.co.uk and for inspection at the UK Listing Authority's Document Viewing Facility, which is located at: Financial Services Authority 25 The North Colonnade Canary Wharf London E14 5HS The financial information set out in this announcement is an extract from the Annual Report and Consolidated Audited Financial Statements of the Company for the period from 1 January 2009 to 31 December 2009 and does not constitute the Company's statutory accounts. Enquiries: Paul Noonan Northern Trust Investor Services (Ireland) Limited +353 1 542 2000 CHAIRMAN'S REPORT I herewith present the consolidated annual report and financial statements for Carador PLC ('Carador' or the 'Company') for the year ended 31 December 2009. The first half of 2009 saw an improvement in market sentiment despite the significant increase in the leveraged loan default rate, highlighting the influence of technical factors in the loan market sell off in 2008. The second half of the year saw improving fundamentals support the leveraged loan and CLO market further. The Credit Suisse Leveraged Loan Index returned 44.9% in 2009 compared to -28.8% in 2008. As a result, leveraged loans have been one of the best performing asset classes in 2009 with similar returns to unsecured high yield bonds (54.22%(1)) and significantly outperforming equities (S&P500 2009 return 26.46%) and investment grade corporate bonds (Credit Suisse Liquid US Corporate Bond Index +19.61%). Offsetting the recovery in trading levels, the long anticipated increase in default rates began to materialise. The 12 month lagging default rate by principal amount jumped to 10.81% in November from 3.75% at year-end 2008. The increase in defaults, as historically has been the norm, resulted in lower recovery rates. The average issuer weighted recovery rate for first lien loans was 54.0% in 2009 versus an average recovery for the period 1982-2009 of 65.6%(2) but still significantly higher than the average recovery rate for senior unsecured bonds which was 37.7% in 2009. Despite the significant increase in defaults, the recovery rate for first lien loans was higher than in 1993 (53.4%) and in line with 1998 (56.7%). Another concern for CLOs earlier in the year was the effect of downgrades in their overcollateralisation test ("OC Tests") which are normally adjusted to reflect not only defaults but also the proportion of CCC rated assets in the portfolios. The higher share of CCC loans among rated issuers has been compensated by the outperformance of this subset of the market. US leveraged loans rated CCC/split CCC/Default generated a 60.9% total return in 2009, outperforming the index by 16%. As a result, the CCC haircuts in the OC test have, in some cases, fallen. The stronger than expected economic rebound, the proactive approach taken by companies to amend their covenants, the effect of distressed exchanges and strong high yield bond issuance have contributed to marked reductions in default expectations. Moody's default rate forecasting model shows a sharp fall in the global speculative-grade default rate to 3.3% by December 2010. Moody's points out that the forecasted sharp decline is consistent with previous credit cycles(3). Carador's equity portfolio was affected by the number of defaults and CCC downgrades, and their effect in the OC Tests of several transactions, which have diverted cash flows to repay senior debt in the first half of the year. It has benefited from the underlying loan price improvements and selective purchases and sales by the Manager taking advantage of the dislocation of the CLO market. The performance of the senior notes in the portfolio has been positive but has come mainly in the form of principal prepayments, which the Company cannot use to fund dividend distributions. Performance during the twelve months ended 31 December 2009 During the 12 month period ending 31 December 2009 the Company incurred a net loss of EUR1,445,179 and losses per share of EUR0.13. The Board declared quarterly interim dividends in respect of the year ended 31 December 2009 of EUR5,706,195, in aggregate, equivalent to EUR0.0492 per share (US$0.0693 per US$ share). The Company's net asset value decreased by 11% in the period to EUR58,103,058. This was offset by the dividends distributed during the year which equated to 10.0% of the opening EUR class NAV and 11.1% of the opening US$ class NAV, giving a total return for the year in the EUR Class of -0.2% and for the US$ Class of +2.4%. As of 31 December 2009, the Company's portfolio had exposure to 30 CLO tranches and 29 loan portfolios. 21% of the investment portfolio was invested in cash or senior tranches (AAA/AA original rating) of CLOs, 7% in mezzanine tranches (A/BBB/BB original rating) and 45% in subordinated tranches. The Company held 27% of its assets in cash as at 31 December 2009. The portfolio is broadly diversified across 16 managers.

The Board believes that the realisations completed during 2009 and the cash held by the Company means that Carador is well positioned to take advantage of potential opportunities presented by the current market. Material events On 13 January 2010, the Board declared an interim dividend of EUR0.01 per share in respect of the quarterly period ended 31 December 2009. This dividend was payable on 29 January 2010 to shareholders on the register as at the close of business on 22 January 2010. US$ class shareholders received US$0.0145 per share, calculated at the prevailing exchange rate on 13 January 2010 of EUR1:US$1.4508. On 12 February 2010, the Company issued a circular to shareholders in order to provide an update on GSO Capital Partners International LLP's implementation of the Company's investment strategy and to notify them of the implementation of a share repurchase programme by the Company. As at 28 April 2010, no shares had been repurchased by the Company. On 14 April 2010, the Board declared an interim dividend of EUR0.0091 per share in respect of the quarterly period ended 31 March 2010. This dividend is payable on 23 April 2010 to shareholders on the register as at the close of business on 21 April 2010. US$ class shareholders received US$0.0124 per share, calculated at the prevailing exchange rate on 14 April 2010 of EUR1:US$1.3626. On 15 April 2010, the Company released its net asset value as at 31 March 2010. As at the close of business on 31 March 2010, the unaudited net asset value per share was EUR0.4697 for the EURO class shares and US$0.6006 for the US$ class shares. Including dividends paid during the period, the total return for the EURO class shares and the US$ class shares in the year to date was 10.66% and 10.12% per share respectively. In January 2010, the Company disposed of a portion of its holding in Gale Force 4. This disposal resulted in the reduction of its holding in the equity/mezzanine tranche of Gale Force 4 to below 50% and as a result, in the future Gale Force 4 will no longer be consolidated.
