Full Extracted Text

Complete text extracted from the document (3,601 characters)

in the public equity markets could result in substantially lower liquidation values and substantially longer periods before liquidity is achieved in comparison with historical values, which would reduce the returns that could be achieved by the Fund. In addition, factors specific to a portfolio company may have an adverse effect on the Fund’s investment in such company. The General Partner may rely upon its own or a portfolio company’s projections concerning the portfolio company’s future performance in making investment decisions. Such projections are inherently subject to uncertainty and to certain factors beyond the control of the portfolio company and the General Partner. Prospective investors are particularly cautioned that the investment sourcing, selection, management and liquidation strategies and procedures exercised by partners of the General Partner in the past may not be successful, or even practicable, during the Fund’s term.
Industry Specific Terminology
Prospective investors are cautioned that certain terms and phrases of common usage within the venture capital industry may be misleading to those unfamiliar with such usage. In particular, individuals who participate in the management of a fund often are referred to, in a colloquial sense, as “general partners” even though they are not actually general partners of any partnership. Prospective investors are reminded that the Fund will be a limited partnership, that the General Partner will be a limited partnership, that the general partner of the General Partner will be a limited liability company, and that the individuals directing the management of the Fund through the General Partner will be members of such limited liability company. It is not intended that the Fund will have any general partner other than the General Partner or that any actual general partnership will in any manner be associated with the formation, operation, dissolution or termination of the Fund. Prospective investors must not presume or rely upon the existence of any actual legal entities other than the Fund, the General Partner and the general partner of the General Partner. With respect to all matters involving industry specific terminology, prospective investors are urged to consult with their own legal and other advisors.
Fund and General Partner Not Registered
The Fund will not be registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Investment Company Act”) pursuant to an exemption set forth in Sections 3(c)(1) and/or 3(c)(7) of the Investment Company Act. There is no assurance that such exemptions will continue to be available to the Fund. Due to the burdens of compliance with the Investment Company Act, the performance of the Fund’s investment portfolio could be materially adversely affected, and risks involved in financing portfolio companies could substantially increase, if the Fund becomes subject to registration under the Investment Company Act. Neither the Fund nor its counsel can assure investors that, under certain conditions, changed circumstances, or changes in the law, the Fund may not become subject to the Investment Company Act or other burdensome regulation. The General Partner is not registered as a broker/dealer under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) and with the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. (the “NASD”) and is consequently not subject to the record keeping and specific business practice provisions of the Exchange Act and the rules of the NASD.
