Warning against Brentwood Group Ltd.


(Vienna, April 03, 2009)
Pursuant to section 92 para 11 of the Wertpapieraufsichtsgesetz 2007 (WAG; Securities
Supervision Act), Austria’s Financial Market Authority (FMA) has the right to inform the general
public, in individual cases by way of announcement on the Internet, in the official gazette
“Amtsblatt zur Wiener Zeitung” or any other official paper with nationwide circulation, that a
particular company is not entitled to provide certain financial services (section 3 para 2 nos. 1 to 4
WAG 2007).

By publication in the official gazette “Amtsblatt zur Wiener Zeitung” of 03 April 2009, the FMA is
exercising this right and warns against financial service transactions requiring a licence with the
following provider:

Brentwood Group Ltd.
Level 15,
Tokyo Ginko Kyokai Building,
1-3-1 Marunouchi, Chiyoda-Ku,
Tokyo,
Japan 100-0005
Tel: +813-4580-1760, +813-6688-4521
Fax: +813-4496-6228

This provider does not possess a licence issued by the FMA to provide investment services in
Austria. Therefore, it is neither allowed to provide investment advice regarding financial
instruments, nor portfolio management, i.e. managing portfolios for individual customers who
authorise a room for manoeuvre, provided that the customer portfolio contains one or several
financial instruments. Furthermore, the provider is also not entitled to accept or transmit
transactions, provided that such activity involves one or several financial instruments.
