*For an investor in HGEN at IPO. The total NAV return target is a target only and not a profit forecast. There can be no assurance that this target will be met, or that the Company will make any returns at all and it should not be taken as an indication of the Company's expected future results. The Company's actual returns will depend upon a number of factors, including but not limited to the size of the Company, currency exchange rates, the Company's net income and level of ongoing charges. Accordingly, potential investors should not place any reliance on this target in deciding whether or not to invest in the Company and should decide for themselves whether or not the target total NAV return is reasonable or achievable.
