Note: As reported in HVPE’s Monthly Update for 30 September 2008 The diversification analysis is based on the fair value of the underlying investments, as estimated by the Investment Manager. Strategy, vintage, and geography diversification are based on the estimated net asset value of partnership investments within HVPE’s fund-of-funds and company investments within HVPE’s direct funds. Industry diversification is based on the reported value of the underlying company investments. Some of the funds held in HVPE have not been fully invested. The composition of investments by strategy, vintage, industry, and geography may change as additional investments are made and existing investments are realised. Large buyout includes funds of more than $7 billion in size, medium buyout includes those between $1 billion and $7 billion in size, and small buyout includes those less than $1 billion in size. Direct investments in operating companies are categorised by deal size.

Investment Manager’s Outlook

  • Tightening credit markets and weakened economic growth are beginning to slow

new private equity investments

▪ Venture investment activity less affected than buyouts

  • Liquidity events reduced in the current environment
  • Secondary activity is increasing as certain financial services investors seek cash
  • Cash invested may exceed distributions received in the near term based on current

market conditions

▪ Expect to use a portion of HVPE’s $500 million 7-year credit facility to bridge

differences in the timing of cash flows

  • Private equity managers are expected to focus on supporting portfolio company

growth and positioning investments for exits in an improved market environment

  • HVPE’s diversified portfolio is well positioned to withstand market changes within a

volatile global environment

  • Investment Manager remains optimistic about the long-term potential of private

equity markets and HVPE

Forward-Looking Statements

This report contains certain forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements relate to expectations, beliefs, projections, future plans and strategies, anticipated events or trends and similar expressions concerning matters that are not historical facts. In some cases, forward- looking statements can be indentified by terms such as ‘‘anticipate,’’ ‘‘believe,’’ ‘‘could,’’ ‘‘estimate,’’ ‘‘expect,’’ ‘‘intend,’’ ‘‘may,’’ ‘‘plan,’’ ‘‘potential,’’ ‘‘should,’’ ‘‘will,’’ and ‘‘would,’’ or the negative of those terms or other comparable terminology. The forward-looking statements are based on the Investment Manager’s beliefs, assumptions, and expectations of future performance and market developments, taking into account all information currently available. These beliefs, assumptions, and expectations can change as a result of many possible events or factors, not all of which are known or are within the Investment Manager’s control. If a change occurs, the Company’s business, financial condition, liquidity, and results of operations may vary materially from those expressed in forward-looking statements. Some of the factors that could cause actual results to vary from those expressed in forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to:

▪ the factors described in this report; ▪ the rate at which HVPE deploys its capital in investments and achieves expected rates of return; ▪ HarbourVest’s ability to execute its investment strategy, including through the identification of a sufficient number of appropriate

investments;

▪ the ability of third-party managers of funds in which the HarbourVest funds are invested and of funds in which the Company may invest

through parallel investments to execute their own strategies and achieve intended returns;

▪ the continuation of the Investment Manager as manager of the Company’s investments, the continued affiliation with HarbourVest of its

key investment professionals and the continued willingness of HarbourVest to sponsor the formation of and capital raising by, and to manage, new private equity funds;

▪ HVPE’s financial condition and liquidity, including its ability to access or obtain new sources of financing at attractive rates in order to fund

short term liquidity needs in accordance with the investment strategy and commitment policy;

▪ changes in the values of, or returns on, investments that the Company makes; ▪ changes in financial markets, interest rates or industry, general economic or political conditions; and ▪ the general volatility of the capital markets and the market price of HVPE’s shares.

By their nature, forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks and uncertainties because they relate to events, and depend on circumstances, that may or may not occur in the future. Forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance. Any forward- looking statements are only made as at the date of this document, and the Investment Manager neither intends nor assumes any obligation to update forward-looking statements set forth in this document whether as a result of new information, future events, or otherwise, except as required by law or other applicable regulation. In light of these risks, uncertainties, and assumptions, the events described by any such forward-looking statements might not occur. The Investment Manager qualifies any and all of its forward-looking statements by these cautionary factors. Please keep this cautionary note in mind while reading this report.
