Assets or companies in which the Company can invest:

How widely will the Company spread its investments and the Company's maximum exposure limits, if applicable:
The Company intends to be invested in a small number of projects at any given time. Maximum exposure limits will be at the discretion of the Board who will take into account numerous factors when reaching decisions as to exposure limited.
Policy in relation to gearing and cross-holdings, if applicable:
The Company may consider raising additional funds, either in the form of debt or equity, in order to carry out the Investing Policy. The Company does not intend at this time to invest in other investment companies.
The nature of returns the Company will seek to deliver to shareholders and, if applicable, how long the Company can exist before making an investment and/or before having to return funds to shareholders:
The Company will realize gains through the eventual liquidation, through sale or public listing of the subsidiary interest.
