RISK FACTORS AND INVESTMENT CONSIDERATIONS The risks of purchasing an Interest include, but are not limited to, the following: General; Operating History of the Fund; Risks Inherent in Investment Strategy. The purchase of units in the fund is highly speculative and involves significant risks, and the units should not be purchased by any person who cannot afford the loss of their entire investment. The investment objective of the fund is also highly speculative. Holders of units may be unable to realize a substantial return on their investment in theunits, or any return whatsoever, and may lose their entire investment. For this reason, each prospective purchaser of units should read all offering and legal materials carefully and consult with their attorney and business and/or investment advisor. The fund does not have any significant business history or operating experience that investors can analyze to aid them in making an informed judgment as to the merits of an investment in the fund. There can be no assurance that the fund will be able to generate revenues, gains or income, or, even if it generates revenues, gains or income, that its investments will be profitable. Any investment in the fund should be considered a high-risk investment because investors will be placing their funds at risk in an unseasoned start-up investment vehicle with the attendant unforeseen costs, expenses, and problems to which a new business is often subject. The fund has been newly organized to acquire securities. Those securities will be highly speculative. The composition and terms of the securities, as well as the portfolio companies or other funds issuing such securities, has not been determined and will be influenced by various factors, including the availability and pricing of the securities, the expected growth potential of the portfolio companies, and the availability of fund capital allocated to purchase such securities. The fund’s strategy is to rely on information provided by potential portfolio companies and on the AV’s independent research and judgment. No assurance can be given that information provided by third parties will be accurate or that the fund’s investment strategy will be successfully implemented. Generally, the fund will not be able to sell these securities publicly without the expense and time required to register the securities under the Securities Act, or may only be able to sell (or may choose to sell) the securities under Rule 144 or other rules under the Securities Act, which permit only limited sales under specified conditions. The fund may encounter limited opportunities to make private secondary sales of these securities. While the availability of these opportunities cannot be guaranteed, any secondary sale may involve price discounts or other disadvantageous terms when compared to traditional exit events. The fund Manager’s discretion will extend to whether, and to what extent, to pursue any secondary sale opportunity. INVESTMENT VALUATION DETERMINED BY AV. AV will be responsible for the valuation of the fund’s investments in its portfolio companies that are not listed or otherwise traded in an active market. There is a wide range of values that are reasonable for an investment at a given time and, ultimately, the determination of fair value involves subjective judgment not capable of substantiation by auditing standards. In some instances, it may not be possible to substantiate by auditing standards the value of the fund’s investment in a portfolio company. In connection with any future in-kind distributions that the fund may make, the value of the securities received by investors as determined by AV may not be the actual value that the investors would be able to obtain even if they sought to sell such securities immediately after an in-kind distribution. In addition, the value of an in-kind distribution may decrease or increase significantly subsequent to the distributees' receipt thereof, despite the accuracy of AV’s evaluation. RISK FACTORS AND INVESTMENT CONSIDERATIONS No Market for Units. Funds will only be available for distribution when securities are sold or when distributions of funds are made by portfolio companies with respect to any securities. The time that distributions are actually made will be solely dependent upon the timing of the realization of proceeds from the securities and the determination of AV to distribute any such funds. No market for the units exists, and it is not anticipated that one will develop. The units are not redeemable or transferable except as outlined in the Operating Agreement. Purchasers of the units will be required to bear the economic risk of their investment for an indefinite period of time. The units are not registered under the Securities Act or applicable state securities laws and may not be re-sold unless they are subsequently registered or an exemption from registration is available. Investors have no right to require, and the fund has no intention of effecting such registration. Consequently, an investor may not be able to liquidate an investment in the units, and a bank may be unwilling to accept the units as collateral for a loan. The units will not be readily marketable, and purchasers thereof may not be able to liquidate their investments in the event of an emergency. Conflicts of Interest; Co-Investment; Cross-Class Liability. AV, the members of the investment committees of the AV funds with which the fund co-invests, and their respective affiliates may face various conflicts of interest in connection with their respective relationships and transactions with the fund. AV’s other clients, and/or its personnel, may invest on a side-by-side basis with the fund, the fund may invest in securities in which another client has invested, or another client may invest in an opportunity that may also be appropriate for the fund. AV and its affiliates currently have other investments that may compete directly with the fund for investment opportunities, and AV intends to organize and manage additional entities similar to the fund. In addition, the fund and other clients may seek to invest in portfolio companies based on rights to participate granted in connection with the fund’s or other clients’ prior investment in the portfolio company. Over time AV will allocate investment opportunities in a fair and equitable manner acting in the best interest of its clients as determined by AV’s sole discretion. AV will consider whether each selected investment is suitable for each client based on criteria germane to that client, which may include legal, tax, regulatory, and other criteria, such as the client’s investment objectives, strategy, and diversification requirements and available cash to invest. AV and its affiliates will not be prohibited from making additional investments or participating in business ventures outside of and independent of the fund. Compensation to Manager and Its Affiliates; Lack of Separate Representation. It is anticipated that counsel to AV will continue to represent AV and the fund after the consummation of the offering described herein. Such counsel has not acted independently on behalf of the investors, and potential investors should consult with and rely on their own legal counsel with respect to analyzing the terms of this investment and any future matters related to the fund or the ownership of units in the fund.
