Important Information about Structural Protections: In each of our investments, we may seek to negotiate structural protections such as conversion rights which would result in our receiving shares of common stock at a discount to the IPO price upon conversion at the time of the IPO, or warrants that would result in our receiving additional shares for a nominal exercise price at the time of an IPO. The ability to realize the potential value associated with these structural protections at the time of the IPO will depend on a number of factors including each portfolio company’s completion of an IPO, any adjustment to the special IPO conversion price that may be negotiated prior to or during the IPO process, the possible subsequent issuance of more senior securities that may impact the relative value of the structural protection, and fluctuation in the market price of each portfolio company’s common shares until such time as the common shares received upon conversion can be disposed of following the expiration of the 180-day post-IPO lockup period. Even if an IPO is completed, the potential value associated with these structural protections would not be realized unless the market price of each portfolio company’s common shares equals or exceeds the IPO price at the time such shares are disposed of following the post-IPO lockup period. Please see our periodic reports on Form 10-K and Form 10-Q for additional information on, and risks related to, our structural protections. 2

In the event the expected investment horizon is less than 4 years for a specific portfolio company, our targeted return may be correspondingly reduced.

Past performance is not a guarantee of future results. 1 Portfolio company returns are calculated at the portfolio company level (net of any selling expenses, including broker commissions); however, the portfolio company returns do not reflect any of our operating expenses (including any incentive fees payable to our investment adviser). 2 The weighted-average holding period is calculated based on the total investment amount and holding period of each disposition of shares. 3 Total return multiple on a portfolio company investment is determind by dividing the net proceeds realized from the disposition of such investment by the aggregate cost of such investment. The total return multiple for all disposed portfolio companies is a weighted-average determinded by dividing the aggregate net proceeds from the disposition of all disposed portfolio companies by the aggregate investment cost of all disposed portfolio companies. 4 Internal rate of return is the annualized rate of return on a portfolio company investment taking into account the amount and timing of all cash flows related to such portfolio company investment including the intial investment, any follow-on investment and the net proceeds from the disposition of such investment. The weighted-average internal rate of return is the annualized rate of return on all disposed portfolio company investments taking into account the amount and timing of the ash flows related to all disposed portfolio company investments (as a group). 5 During the six months ended June 30, 2014, we sold 415,964 shares of Millennial Media common stock with an aggregate cost basis of $1.7 million for total net proceeds of approximately $3.0 million, resulting in net realized gains of approximately $1.3 million.
