confiscatory taxation; and (v) the possible imposition of non-U.S. taxes on income and gains recognized with respect to such securities. While the General Partner will take these factors into consideration in making investment decisions for the Fund and intends to manage the Fund ina manner to minimize exposure to the foregoing risks, there can be no assurance that the General Partner will be able to evaluate the risks accurately or that adverse developments with respect to such risks will not adversely affect the value or realization of investments that are held by the Fund in certain countries.
Reserves
As is customary in the industry, the General Partner may establish reserves for follow-on investments by the Fund in portfolio companies, operating expenses (including the Management Fee), Fund liabilities, and other matters. Estimating the appropriate amount of such reserves is difficult, especially for follow-on investment opportunities, which are directly tied to the success and capital needs of portfolio companies. Inadequate or excessive reserves could impair the investment returns to the Limited Partners. If reserves are inadequate, the Fund may be unable to take advantage of attractive follow-on or other investment opportunities or to protect its existing investments from dilutive or other punitive terms associated with “pay- to-play” or similar provisions. If reserves are excessive, the Fund may decline attractive investment opportunities or hold unnecessary amounts of capital in money market or similar low-yield accounts.
Diverse Investors
The Limited Partners may have conflicting investment, tax, and other interests with respect to their investments in the Fund. The conflicting interests of individual Limited Partners may relate to or arise from, among other things, the nature of investments made by the Fund, the structuring or the acquisition of investments and the timing of disposition of investments. As a consequence, conflicts of interest may arise in connection with decisions made by the Fund Managers, including with respect to the nature or structuring of investments that may be more beneficial for some Limited Partners than for others, particularly with respect to investors’ individual tax situations. In selecting and structuring investments appropriate for the Fund, the General Partner will consider the investment and tax objective of the Fund and the Partners as a whole, not the investment, tax or other objective of any Limited Partner individually.
Failure of Limited Partners to Fulfill Their Commitment Obligations
The Fund’s investments in portfolio companies will require capital calls on Limited Partners over an extended period of time. Failure by a Limited Partner to meet a capital call could result in the failure of the Fund to make desired investments, which could have adverse consequences for the Fund and thus all of the Limited Partners. The failure by the Fund to receive a significant portion of capital contributions due from Limited Partners in respect of their Commitments could materially impair the Fund’s ability to realize its financial objectives. In the event that a Limited Partner defaults, such Limited Partner may be subject to various penalties, including forfeiture of all or a portion of its interest in the Fund, as provided in the Partnership Agreement.
Risk of Dilution Limited Partners subscribing for interests at subsequent closings will participate in existing
investments of the Fund, diluting the interest of existing Limited Partners therein. Although such Limited Partners will contribute their pro rata share of prior capital contributions
