This notice is to make the general public aware that Patronus Invest SICAV plc (“the Scheme”) recently requested the Malta Financial Services Authority (“MFSA”) to accept the surrender of its collective investment scheme licence granted in relation to ARTUS Equity Long/Short Fund (“the Sub-Fund”). The MFSA has accepted the Scheme’s request. This surrender is entirely voluntary and does not arise as a result of any regulatory action taken by the MFSA. Accordingly, with effect from 17 October 2013, the Sub-Fund ceased to be licensed by the MFSA.
