July 13, 2012 Dear Partner, Our fund rose 0.5% in June vs. 4.

1% for the S&P 500, 4.1% for the Dow and 3.9% for the Nasdaq. Year to date, our fund is up 9.0% vs. 9.5% for the S&P 500, 6.8% for the Dow and 13.1% for the Nasdaq. Update Im pleased to tell you that there has been a smooth transition, as discussed in our last letter to you on June 22nd (attached in Appendix A) When Glenn and I decided to separate last month, I decided to sell most of our stocks as a small firm, it was easy to exit positions like Berkshire Hathaway, Goldman Sachs, J.C. Penney, AIG, Netflix, etc. and raise the funds cash position to nearly 70% (it would have been higher but for the frictional costs of trading less-liquid positions). I did this for two reasons. First, when theres a change in the funds management structure, its only fair to give investors the right to redeem, and we couldnt predict how many would actually do so. Secondly, even if there had been no redemptions (and I knew this would be the case in advance), I would have acted similarly because, as I resume the role of sole portfolio manager, its critical that I rebuild the portfolio from scratch and truly own the ideas. Over the years Ive avidly studied investor psychology and appreciate the many powerful biases that can lead to emotional decision making, so I didnt want to inherit the funds positions, even though I was comfortable with them. Instead, I wanted to start with a 0% position in each stock and then decide, after a fresh analysis and careful weighing of other available opportunities, whether, when, and how much to buy back (or re-short). So, for example, while it may seem counter-intuitive to have sold my favorite stock, Berkshire Hathaway, only to repurchase it again last week, I was important that I do so. Rebuilding the Portfolio I am currently going through a rigorous process with each position. Berkshire was easy its safe, cheap, growing nicely, and I know it well, having owned it for well over a decade, but certain other positions are going to require further analysis before I make an investment decision. Since the beginning of July, I have begun putting the funds cash back to work in what I believe to be exceptionally attractive investments. It has been a productive period as I picked some lowhanging fruit, and the fund is now over 50% invested on the long side and more than 20% on the short side. I will invest more slowly in the coming months as I carefully and deliberately rebuild the portfolio toward my approximate target of 100% long and 40% short. I am very enthusiastic about the target-rich environment Im seeing on both the long and short sides right now, and am hoping for continued market dislocation and volatility so that I can invest at even better prices. In light of the weak economy in the U.S., the ongoing sovereign debt crisis in Europe (which I am currently seeing in person at a European value investing conference
The GM Building, 767 Fifth Avenue, 18th Floor, New York, NY 10153

in Italy, followed by a short stay in Germany on the way home), and the possibility of big problems in both China and Japan, I think its a good time to have a lot of cash and be very patient in putting it to work. Quarterly Letters The next letter you receive from me will be in early October. Writing letters every month was time consuming, stress inducing, and led me (and, no doubt, many partners) at times to think short-term, which is detrimental to my long-term-oriented investment strategy. If you do not currently receive monthly statements from our bookkeeper, Cohen & Associates, and would like to, please email Kelli at KAlires@T2PartnersLLC.com. Conclusion In the past few weeks, Ive had more than 200 in-depth conversations with nearly all of the 150+ investors in our funds. I enjoyed it immensely on both a professional and personal level, answering questions, talking stocks, and reconnecting with many old friends. Im heartened and humbled that the vast majority of the funds partners elected to maintain their investment. Im determined to reward your vote of confidence and will make every effort to deliver the kind of results I achieved from 1999-2004 during my prior tenure as the sole portfolio manager. In future letters, I will discuss the many steps Ive taken toward this end. Again, I deeply appreciate your confidence and support. If you have any comments or questions, please call me anytime on my cell phone at (646) 258-0687. Sincerely yours,

Whitney Tilson

Appendix A: Letter to Investors, June 22, 2012


Dear Partner, We are writing to let you know that, after careful consideration, we have decided to cease managing money together and will instead do so independently, in the firm belief that in doing so our investors will benefit over time. The friendship and admiration we have for each other is unchanged, we will continue operating our funds, and you do not need to do anything. We are, however, modifying our structure: Whitney will become the sole principal of T2 Partners and its three primary hedge funds. Glenn will be establishing a new investment firm, Deerhaven Capital Management, that will independently manage the T2 SPAC Fund, which will be renamed the Deerhaven Fund and become his hedge fund vehicle. We will each have meaningful economic interests in our respective funds, so our interests are very much aligned. In terms of T2s support team, Kelli Alires will remain the office manager and head of investor relations, Damien Smith will continue as T2s analyst, and the auditor, bookkeeper, legal counsel, compliance firm, and prime broker will remain the same. Deerhaven will develop its own infrastructure over time. Please allow us to tell you about our future plans: Whitneys Plans [This section is written by Whitney] I couldnt be more optimistic about T2s future and am looking forward to going back to doing what I did very successfully when I was managing the T2 Accredited Fund on my own for more than five years beginning in January 1999. In this extremely difficult, complex, and uncertain investing environment, I truly believe that less is more. Going forward, the funds I manage will be concentrated in my very best, carefully researched investment ideas, with approximately 15 meaningful positions on the long side and 25 (smaller) positions on the short side. My target portfolio exposure is 90-110% long and 40-60% short. In this increasingly short-term, trading-oriented environment, I aim to do as little trading as possible, and would be delighted if I am able to generate a handful great investment ideas each year. My objective is to beat the market by 5-10 percentage points per year (net) in the 1-3 year horizon, in both strong and weak markets, with meaningfully less volatility than we have seen in the past year, and to earn you a compound annual return of at least 15%, measured over a minimum of a 3-5 year horizon. To ensure that I can focus intensely on in-depth company and industry analysis, I will adopt a much lower public profile and let my investment returns speak for themselves. Specifically, I will dramatically reduce my television appearances, interviews with the media, blogging/writing,

and public speaking, both in the investment and philanthropic realms. I also plan to write letters to you quarterly rather than monthly (our bookkeeper will, course, continue to send you monthly statements). I thought it would be useful to share the track record of the T2 Accredited Fund when I was running the fund by myself in the 5 1/3 years from January 1999 through April 2004. As you can see in the table and chart below, the fund substantially outperformed all of the indices, beating the S&P 500 by 12.5 percentage points per year on a compounded basis. Obviously the world has changed a great deal since then and I cannot promise high returns, but one thing I can say for sure is that I have massively more experience now than I did then. Total Return Since Inception 108.9% 82.7% -2.7% 23.8% -12.4% Annualized Since Inception 14.8% 12.0% -0.5% 4.1% -2.5%

Finally, I want to say that it has truly been a pleasure being partners with Glenn for the past eight years and I believe even more what I wrote when he joined T2: Glenn is an experienced investor, outstanding stock picker and great person. Im confident that he will be enormously successful going forward and couldnt be more pleased to have a meaningful economic interest in his future.

Glenns Plans [This section is written by Glenn] I completely share Whitney's feelings about our business partnership and personal friendship, and look forward to his future success. I am proud of our track record since I joined T2 Partners in 2004 (see Appendix A) and, like Whitney, believe that we will both be very successful as independent portfolio managers. I am delighted to be launching Deerhaven Capital Management and the Deerhaven Fund, which will be managed in a traditional hedge fund structure similar to the funds weve been managing. The funds target exposures are approximately 120% long and 60% short, somewhat lower than what we have been running recently. The long positions will be familiar to you: deeply researched ideas based on fundamental analysis, which will generally fall into three categories: 1) High-quality businesses with strong cash flows, available at a discount; 2) Special situations (mergers, workouts, SPACs, etc.) (my investment banking background is a competitive advantage in this space); and 3) Mispriced options. Long position sizes will vary depending on safety and opportunity, but generally the long book will be highly concentrated, with weightings skewed towards a few very high conviction investments. The short book will be far more diversified than the long book, and will be focused on frauds, promotions, and failed business models the world is awash in such opportunities. The short book is intended to both generate alpha and reduce portfolio volatility. In addition, when available at reasonable cost, the portfolio will hold securities intended to protect assets from large downdrafts. As background, we set up the T2 SPAC Fund in late 2008, as the world was coming apart, to take advantage of the extreme mispricings I had identified in the niche market of Special Purpose Acquisition Companies (SPACs) (for more on this fund, please read our August 2009 letter; user name: tilson; password: funds). I have deep expertise in this market and am pleased that the fund was a great success: it returned more than 100% in two years. Weve returned most of the SPAC Funds capital to investors so its the perfect vehicle for me to launch my own hedge fund, saving me the time and expense of setting up a new fund. I look forward to working with both existing investors and new limited partners in this very exciting time. If you have any questions or would like to discuss investing with me, you can contact me directly at GlennT@T2PartnersLLC.com or (917) 969-5364.

Redemption Window In light of these changes, we are giving each investor a redemption window at the end of June (this does not change your current redemption options). If you choose to redeem, please notify Whitney at WTilson@T2PartnersLLC.com no later than next Wednesday, June 27th and he will send you further details shortly thereafter. Conclusion If you have any questions, please dont hesitate to email or call us at (212) 386-7160. Thank you for your continued confidence in us. Sincerely yours,

Whitney Tilson and Glenn Tongue

Appendix B from June 22, 2012 Letter to Investors


IMPORTANT DISCLOSURE T2 Accredited Fund, L.P. (formerly known as the Tilson Growth Fund) commenced operations on January 1, 1999. The information regarding the T2 Accredited Fund shows the performance for the period January 1999 through April 2004, the period of time Whitney Tilson served as the sole portfolio manager of such fund and the performance of the T2 Accredited Fund for the period January 1999 through May 2012. Performance results shown are for the T2 Accredited Fund and are presented gross and net of incentive fees. Gross returns reflect the deduction of management fees, brokerage commissions, administrative expenses, and other operating expenses of the T2 Accredited Fund. Gross returns are reduced by the incentive allocation. Gross and net performance includes the reinvestment of all dividends, interest, and capital gains. The T2 Accredited Funds current fee schedule for the Investment Manager is 1.5% annual management fee and a 20% incentive allocation. For the periods prior to June 1, 2004, the Investment Manager was entitled to a 1% annual management fee and a 20% incentive allocation, subject to a 10% hurdle rate. In practice, the incentive allocation is earned on an annual, not monthly, basis or upon a withdrawal from the T2 Accredited Fund. Because some investors may have different fee arrangements and depending on the timing of a specific investment, net performance for an individual investor may vary from the net performance as stated herein. The return of the S&P 500 and other indices are included in the presentation. The volatility of these indices may be materially different from the volatility in the T2 Accredited Fund. In addition, the T2 Accredited Funds holdings differ significantly from the securities that comprise the indices. The indices have not been selected to represent appropriate benchmarks to compare an investors performance, but rather are disclosed to allow for comparison of the investors performance to that of certain well-known and widely recognized indices. You cannot invest directly in these indices. Past results are no guarantee of future results and no representation is made that an investor will or is likely to achieve results similar to those shown. All investments involve risk including the loss of principal. This document is confidential and may not be distributed without the consent of the Investment Manager and does not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to purchase any security or investment product. Any such offer or solicitation may only be made by means of delivery of an approved confidential offering memorandum. Additional information regarding the T2 Accredited Fund and its performance is available upon request.

T2 Accredited Fund, LP (the Fund) commenced operations on January 1, 1999. The Funds investment objective is to achieve long-term after-tax capital appreciation commensurate with moderate risk, primarily by investing with a long-term perspective in a concentrated portfolio of U.S. stocks. In carrying out the Partnerships investment objective, the Investment Manager, T2 Partners Management, LLC, seeks to buy stocks at a steep discount to intrinsic value such that there is low risk of capital loss and significant upside potential. The primary focus of the Investment Manager is on the long-term fortunes of the companies in the Partnerships portfolio or which are otherwise followed by the Investment Manager, relative to the prices of their stocks. There is no assurance that any securities discussed herein will remain in Funds portfolio at the time you receive this report or that securities sold have not been repurchased. The securities discussed may not represent the Funds entire portfolio and in the aggregate may represent only a small percentage of an accounts portfolio holdings. It should not be assumed that any of the securities transactions, holdings or sectors discussed were or will prove to be profitable, or that the investment recommendations or decisions we make in the future will be profitable or will equal the investment performance of the securities discussed herein. All recommendations within the preceding 12 months or applicable period are available upon request. Performance results shown are for the T2 Accredited Fund, LP and are presented gross and net of incentive fees. Gross returns reflect the deduction of management fees, brokerage commissions, administrative expenses, and other operating expenses of the Fund. Gross returns will be reduced by accrued performance allocation or incentive fees, if any. Gross and net performance includes the reinvestment of all dividends, interest, and capital gains. Performance for the most recent month is an estimate. The fee schedule for the Investment Manager includes a 1.5% annual management fee and a 20% incentive fee allocation. For periods prior to June 1, 2004, the Investment Managers fee schedule included a 1% annual management fee and a 20% incentive fee allocation, subject to a 10% hurdle rate. In practice, the incentive fee is earned on an annual, not monthly, basis or upon a withdrawal from the Fund. Because some investors may have different fee arrangements and depending on the timing of a specific investment, net performance for an individual investor may vary from the net performance as stated herein. The return of the S&P 500 and other indices are included in the presentation. The volatility of these indices may be materially different from the volatility in the Fund. In addition, the Funds holdings differ significantly from the securities that comprise the indices. The indices have not been selected to represent appropriate benchmarks to compare an investors performance, but rather are disclosed to allow for comparison of the investors performance to that of certain wellknown and widely recognized indices.
