This website is not intended to offer or to promote the offer or sale of the securities of HarbourVest Global Private Equity Limited ("HVPE") in the United States or to US Persons.

Access to the information contained in this website is restricted under applicable securities laws in the United States. The securities of HVPE mentioned in this website have not been and will not be registered under the US Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), or any state securities laws in the United States, and may not be offered or sold within the United States or to (or for the account of) any US Person except pursuant to an exemption from, or in a transaction that is not subject to, the registration requirements of the Securities Act. HVPE has not been and will not be registered under the US Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "US Investment Company Act"), and investors will not be entitled to the benefits of that Act. The information contained in this website, therefore, is generally not available to US Persons.

Access to the HVPE website is restricted solely to a US Person who (a) a "Qualified Institutional Buyer" as defined in Rule 144A under the Securities Act and is a "Qualified Purchaser" as defined in Section 2(a)(51) and related rules of the US Investment Company Act of 1940 or (b) owns shares of HVPE.

Please tick each box below as applicable to indicate your confirmation before clicking on the "Confirm" button below to proceed.

I hereby certify and warrant that:

• I am a "Qualified Institutional Buyer" as defined in Rule 144A under the US Securities Act of 1933, as amended; and
• I am a "Qualified Purchaser" as defined in Section 2(a)(51) and related rules of the US Investment Company Act of 1940.

You are a "Qualified Purchaser" if you are:

1. a natural person (including any person who holds a joint, community property, or other similar shared ownership interest in an issuer that is excepted under section 3(c)(7) of the US Investment Company Act with that person's qualified purchaser spouse) who owns not less than $5,000,000 in investments, as defined by the US Securities and Exchange Commission;
2. a company that owns not less than $5,000,000 in investments and that is owned directly or indirectly by or for two or more natural persons who are related as siblings or spouse (including former spouses), or direct lineal descendants by birth or adoption, spouses of such persons, the estates of such persons, or foundations, charitable organizations, or trusts established by or for the benefit of such persons;
3. a trust that is not covered by clause (ii) above and that was not formed for the specific purpose of acquiring the securities of HVPE, as to which the trustee or other person authorized to make decisions with respect to the trust, and each settlor or other person who has contributed assets to the trust, is a person described in clause (i), (ii), or (iv) hereto; or
4. a person, acting for your own account or the accounts of other qualified purchasers, who in the aggregate own and invest on a discretionary basis, not less than $25,000,000 in investments.

You are not a "qualified purchaser" if you are a company that, but for the exceptions provided for in paragraph (1) or (7) of section 3(c) of the US Investment Company Act, would be an investment company (hereafter in this paragraph referred to as an "excepted investment company"), unless all beneficial owners of your outstanding securities (other than short-term paper), determined in accordance with section 3(c)(1)(A) of the US Investment Company Act, that acquired such securities on or before April 30, 1996 (hereafter in this paragraph referred to as "pre-amendment beneficial owners"), and all pre-amendment beneficial owners of the outstanding securities (other than short-term paper) of any excepted investment company that, directly or indirectly, owns any of your outstanding securities, have consented to your treatment as a qualified purchaser. Unanimous consent of all trustees, directors, or general partners of a company or trust referred to in clause (ii) or (iii) above shall constitute consent for purposes of this paragraph.
