The

the Offer to Purchase and requests the repurchase by ACP Strategic Opportunities
Fund II, LLC (the “Fund”) of the units of beneficial interest (the “Units”) of
the Fund designated below in exchange for the Repurchase Price (defined below)
for the Units tendered and accepted, in cash. The repurchase price
(“Repurchase Price”) is an amount equal to the net asset value of the Units as
of the close of the regular trading session of the New York Stock Exchange on
December 31, 2009 (the “Net Asset Value
Determination Date”). This Letter of Transmittal is subject to the
terms and conditions described in the Offer to Purchase dated October 1, 2009. Receipt of the Offer to Purchase is
acknowledged by the Xxxxxx. The Offer to Purchase and this Letter of
Transmittal, which as amended or supplemented from time to time, constitute the
repurchase offer (the “Repurchase Offer”).
The
Xxxxxx recognizes that there may be expenses associated with participation in
the Repurchase Offer. A participating Investor may be charged a fee
for assistance in transmitting the required documentation by the Investor’s
broker, dealer, commercial bank, trust company, retirement plan trustee or other
nominee (collectively, “Financial Intermediary”).
Subject
to, and effective upon, acceptance for payment of, or payment for, Units
presented for repurchase by the Xxxxxx in accordance with the terms and subject
to the conditions of the Repurchase Offer (including, if the Repurchase Offer is
extended or amended, the terms or conditions of any extension or amendment), the
Xxxxxx hereby sells, assigns and transfers to, or upon the order of, the Fund
all right, title and interest in and to all of the Units that are being
presented for repurchase as described in “Units Tendered for Repurchase” that
may be purchased by the Fund pursuant to the Repurchase Offer (and any and all
dividends, distributions, other Units or securities or rights issued or issuable
in respect of such Units on or after the Net Asset Value Determination Date) and
the Xxxxxx irrevocably constitutes and appoints the Fund’s Administrator,
Pinnacle Fund Administration (the “Administrator”) as the true and lawful agent
and attorney-in-fact of the Xxxxxx with respect to such Units (and any such
dividends, distributions, other Units, or securities or rights), with full power
of substitution (such power of attorney being deemed to be an irrevocable power
coupled with an interest), to receive all benefits and otherwise exercise all
rights of beneficial ownership of such Units, subject to the succeeding
paragraph, all in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth in the
Repurchase Offer.
The
Xxxxxx hereby represents and warrants that: (a) the Xxxxxx has full power and
authority to submit, sell, assign and transfer the Units submitted for
repurchase (and any and all dividends, distributions, other Units or other
securities or rights issued or issuable in respect of such Units on or after the
Net Asset Value Determination Date); (b) when and to the extent the Fund accepts
the Units for repurchase, the Fund will acquire good, marketable and
unencumbered title thereto, free and clear of all liens, restrictions, charges,
proxies, encumbrances, or other obligations relating to their sale or transfer,
and not subject to any adverse claim; (c) on request, the Xxxxxx will execute
and deliver any additional documents deemed by the Administrator or the Fund to
be necessary or desirable to complete the sale, assignment and transfer of the
submitted Units (and any and all dividends, distributions, other Units or
securities or rights issued or issuable in respect of such Units on or after the
Net Asset Value Determination Date); and (d) the Xxxxxx has read and agreed to
all of the terms of the Repurchase Offer.
The
Xxxxxx recognizes that, under certain circumstances set forth in the Offer to
Purchase, the Fund may terminate or amend the Repurchase Offer or may not be
required to repurchase any of the Units presented for repurchase. The
Xxxxxx understands that the Administrator will cancel the repurchase request as
to any Units not repurchased by the Fund.
Each
Investor must also complete the Instructions Form as a condition of
participation in the Repurchase Offer.
The
Xxxxxx understands that acceptance of Units by the Fund for repurchase
represents a binding agreement between the Xxxxxx and the Fund upon the terms
and conditions of the Repurchase Offer.
All
authority conferred or agreed to be conferred by this Letter of Transmittal
shall survive the death or incapacity of the Xxxxxx and all obligations of the
Xxxxxx under this Letter of Transmittal shall be binding upon the heirs,
personal representatives, successors and assigns of the Xxxxxx.
Except as
stated in the Offer to Purchase, the Xxxxxx’x presentment of Units for
repurchase is irrevocable.
