As previously announced, one of the objectives of Global DIGIT II was to provide unitholders with a monthly distribution which, starting April 2010, would have been an amount equal to the five-year government of Canada bond yield plus 4.0% to 4.5%. However, in light of the amounts withheld by Deutsche Bank AG, Canada Branch ("DB") in relation to credit events notified to Global DIGIT II, until the final determination of the amount of losses from such credit events, distributions will be approximately equal to the five-year government of Canada bond yield plus a spread of 1.10% to 1.71%, or $0.03 to $0.035 per unit, versus the targeted spread of 4.0% to 4.5%, or $0.055 to $0.059 per unit.

Global DIGIT II also announces that the net asset value ("NAV") per unit as of March 15, 2010 was estimated to be $0.14.

The NAV on a particular date is equal to the aggregate value of the assets of Global DIGIT II, less the aggregate value of its liabilities. Substantially all of the assets of Global DIGIT II consist of cash and three credit default swaps entered into with DB and the related collateral.
