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

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.

HarbourVest CONFIDENTIAL In considering the prior performance information contained herein, prospective investors should bear in mind that past performance is not necessarily indicative of future results, and there can be no assurance that the Fund will achieve comparable results or be able to implement its investment strategy. The foregoing performance information includes realized and unrealized investments. Unrealized investments are valued by the applicable general partner in accordance with the valuation guidelines contained in the applicable partnership agreement. Actual realized returns on unrealized investments will depend on, among other factors, future operating results, the value of the assets and market conditions at the time of disposition, any related transaction costs and the timing and manner of sale, all of which may differ from the assumptions on which the valuations used in prior performance data contained herein are based. Accordingly, the actual realized returns on these unrealized investments may differ materially from returns indicated herein. 1. Net L.P. Internal Rate of Return through the applicable date is the annualized return to limited partners after all fees, operating expenses and carried interest calculated using monthly cash flows to and from limited partners. In this calculation, the final cash flow to limited partners is the fair market value of the limited partners’ capital accounts at the applicable date as determined by the General Partner in accordance with the valuation policies in the applicable Partnership Agreement. 2. Public market comparison represents performance if the respective index had been purchased and sold at the time of the limited partners’ capital calls and distributions, with the remainder held at the date noted. Dividends are not reinvested. The securities comprising the public market benchmarks have substantially different characteristics than the investments held by the HarbourVest funds, and accordingly a direct comparison may not be meaningful. Includes data (prior to 1998) related to transactions that occurred when the HarbourVest team was affiliated with Hancock Venture Partners, Inc.
