Change in manager fee

Vietnam Opportunity Fund Limited 16 March 2006 Vietnam Opportunity Fund ('VOF' or 'The Company') Amendment to Manager's Fees 16 March 2006 The Board and the Manager have agreed to reduce the Management Fee from the current rate of 2.5 percent of the total NAV of the Company to a rate of 2 percent of the total NAV of the Company. Under the current investment management agreement between the Company and the Manager (the 'IMA'); the Manager is also entitled to receive a performance fee on an annual basis at the rate of 20 percent of the total increase of the net asset value ('NAV') of the Company during the course of a year with a high water mark over an annualised compounding hurdle rate of 10 percent. The Board and the Manager have agreed to amend the terms of the IMA to pay a performance fee on an annual basis at the rate of 20 percent of the total increase in NAV of the Company during the course of the year with a high water mark over an annualised compounding hurdle rate of 8 percent plus catch up. The Board believes these changes, with a reduced fixed fee and increased performance element, will better align the Manager's interests with that of the Company's investors and is more in line with industry practice. This amendment will take effect from 1 July 2006. As the amendment to the IMA represents a 'related party transaction' for the purposes of AIM rules, the independent director has consulted (in accordance with the provisions of the AIM Rules) with the Company's nominated adviser, Grant Thornton Corporate Finance, with regard to the proposed amendment to the IMA and is consequently satisfied that the amendment is fair and reasonable insofar as its shareholders are concerned.
