Crystal Amber Fund Limited announces that the Company is about to enter a two
month close period ahead of the notification of its year end results for the
year ended 30 June 2013.

Pursuant to the share buyback authority approved by shareholders on 12 October
2012, the Company has appointed Numis Securities Limited to manage an
irrevocable, non-discretionary share buy-back programme to repurchase on its
behalf, and within certain pre-set parameters, ordinary shares in the Company,
which will be held as treasury shares, until the date on which the Company's
annual results are notified, which is expected to be on or after 23 October
2013. During this period the Company and its directors have no power to invoke
any changes to the programme and it is being done at the sole discretion of
Numis Securities Limited.
