The GM Building, 767 Fifth Avenue, 18th
Floor, New York, NY 10153
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 Dowand 13.1% for the Nasdaq.
Update
Im pleased to tell you that there has been a smooth transition, as discussed in our last letter toyou on June 22
nd(attached in Appendix A)
When Glenn and I decided to separate last month, I decided to sell most of our stocks as asmall 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 criticalthat 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 emotionaldecision 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 soldmy favorite stock, Berkshire Hathaway, only to repurchase it again last week, I was important
that I do so.
Rebuilding the PortfolioI 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, butcertain 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 low-
hanging fruit, and the fund is now over 50% invested on the long side and more than 20% on theshort 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 shortsides 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 debtcrisis in Europe (which I am currently seeing in person at a European value investing conference

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 verypatient in putting it to work.
Quarterly Letters
The next letter you receive from me will be in early October. Writing letters every month wastime 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 liketo, please email Kelli [email protected].
ConclusionIn 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 theirinvestment. 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 portfoliomanager. 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 doingso 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 ourrespective funds, so our interests are very much aligned.
In terms of T2s support team, Kelli Alires will remain the office manager and head of investorrelations, Damien Smith will continue as T2s analyst, and the auditor, bookkeeper, legalcounsel, 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 morethan five years beginning in January 1999.
In this extremely difficult, complex, and uncertain investing environment, I truly believe that lessis 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 yearhorizon, 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, Iwill dramatically reduce my television appearances, interviews with the media, blogging/writing,
7/31/2019 T2 Accredited Fund Letter to Investors June 12

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 monthlystatements).
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 cansee 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 forsure is that I have massively more experience now than I did then.
Total Return
Since Inception
Annualized
Since Inception
T2 Accredited Fund - gross 108.9% 14.8%
T2 Accredited Fund - net 82.7% 12.0%
S&P 500 -2.7% -0.5%
Dow 23.8% 4.1%NASDAQ -12.4% -2.5%
Notes: From January 1999-April 2004. Gross and net returns are after the 1% management fee and all other expenses of the fund.
For more information, see Appendix A for the funds performance since inception and Appendix B, Important Disclosure.
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 interestin 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 asindependent portfolio managers.
I am delighted to be launching Deerhaven Capital Management and the Deerhaven Fund, whichwill 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: deeplyresearched 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); and3) 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 modelsthe world is awash in such opportunities. The short
book is intended to both generate alpha and reduce portfolio volatility. In addition, whenavailable 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, totake 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 2009letter; user
name: tilson; password: funds). I have deep expertise in this market and am pleased that the fundwas a great success: it returned more than 100% in two years. Weve returned most of the SPACFunds 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 [email protected] (917) 969-5364.

on January 1, 1999. The information regarding the T2 Accredited Fund shows the performancefor the period January 1999 through April 2004, the period of time Whitney Tilson served as thesole portfolio manager of such fund and the performance of the T2 Accredited Fund for the
