This summary highlights certain information concerning this Offer. To understand the Offer fully and for a more complete discussion of the terms and conditions of the Offer, please read carefully this entire Offer to Purchase and the related Letter of Transmittal.
| The Fund expects, subject to the sole discretion of the board of directors of the Fund (the Board of Directors), to offer from time to time to buy a portion of its outstanding Shares at their net asset value (that is, the value of the Funds assets minus its liabilities), effective as of the last business day of each calendar quarter. The Board of Directors has authorized the Fund to offer to purchase Shares of the Fund in an amount up to $44,500,000. This Offer will remain open until 12:00 midnight, Eastern Time, on the Expiration Date, which is October 27, 2021, unless the Offer is extended. The net asset value of Shares will be calculated for this purpose as of the Valuation Date, which is December 31, 2021, unless the Offer is extended. The Fund reserves the right to adjust the Valuation Date to correspond to any extension of the Offer. |
| The Offer is being made to all holders of Shares and is not conditioned on any minimum amount of Shares being tendered. You may tender all or a portion of your Shares. Partial tenders are subject to maintenance of a minimum account balance of at least $25,000 in the Fund, subject to the conditions set forth below. If the tender amount would cause your account balance to fall below $25,000, the Fund reserves the right to reduce the amount to be purchased so that a minimum $25,000 account balance is maintained. |
| If you tender Shares and the Fund purchases those Shares, you will receive as consideration a non-interest bearing, non-transferable promissory note, to be held for you by BNY Mellon Investment Servicing (U.S.) Inc. (the Administrator), entitling you to: |
i) | an initial payment (the Initial Payment) in cash and/or marketable securities equal to at least 95% of the unaudited net asset value, determined as of the Valuation Date, of the Shares tendered and purchased, which will be paid to you (a) thirty-five (35) days after the Valuation Date or (b) ten business days after the Master Fund has received at least 90% of the aggregate amount withdrawn from any investment funds if the Master Fund has requested withdrawals of its capital from investment funds to fund the purchase of Shares; and |
ii) | a contingent payment (the Contingent Payment) in cash and/or marketable securities equal to the excess, if any, of (a) the net asset value of Shares tendered and purchased as of the Valuation Date (as may or may not be adjusted based upon subsequent revisions to the net asset values of the investment funds) over (b) the Initial Payment. The Contingent Payment, if any, will generally be payable within 120 days after the Valuation Date. The Fund will deposit into a segregated account an amount equal to the Contingent Payment. Any interest earned on these deposited amounts is for the benefit of the Fund and will not be paid to tendering Investors as part of any Contingent Payment. See Section 7. |
| If the Fund accepts your tender of Shares, your proceeds will be funded from one or more of the following sources: cash on hand; withdrawals of capital derived from the investment funds in which the Master Fund invests; the proceeds of the sale of or delivery of portfolio securities held by the Fund; or borrowings. See Section 7. |
| Until the expiration of the Offer, you have the right to change your mind and withdraw any tenders of your Shares. If the Fund has not yet accepted your tender of Shares on or before November 23, 2021 (i.e., the date 40 business days from the commencement of the Offer), you will also have the right to withdraw the tender of your Shares after such date. Shares withdrawn prior to the Expiration Date may be re-tendered on or before the Expiration Date by following the tender procedures described herein. See Section 6. |

The value of your Shares will likely change between the date its net asset value was last calculated and the Valuation Date, which is December 31, 2021, unless the Offer is extended, when the value of Shares tendered and accepted for purchase will be determined for purposes of calculating the purchase price for such Shares. See Section 3. |
| Please note that the Fund has the right to cancel, amend or postpone this Offer at any time before 12:00 midnight, Eastern Time, on the Expiration Date, which is October 27, 2021, unless the Offer is extended. Also note that although the Offer will expire on the Expiration Date, you will remain an Investor in the Fund, with respect to any Shares you tender that are accepted for purchase by the Fund through the Valuation Date. Accordingly, the value of your tendered Shares may rise or fall until the Valuation Date. |
| If you elect to tender, it is your responsibility to confirm, and it is strongly recommended that you confirm, receipt of the Letter of Transmittal by the Fund. See Section 5. |
2. Background and Purpose of the Offer |
The purpose of this Offer is to provide liquidity to Investors who hold Shares of the Fund, as contemplated by and in accordance with the procedures set forth in the Funds Prospectus and Statement of Additional Information (collectively the Prospectus). The Prospectus, which was provided to each Investor in advance of purchasing Shares, provides that the Board of Directors has the discretion to determine whether the Fund will purchase Shares from time to time from Investors pursuant to written tenders. The Adviser expects that it will recommend to the Board of Directors that the Fund purchase Shares from Investors four times each year, effective as of the last day of each calendar quarter. Because there is no secondary trading market for Shares and transfers of Shares are prohibited without prior approval of the Adviser, the Board of Directors has approved the Offer, after consideration of various matters, and the recommendation of the Adviser, in order to provide liquidity for Shares as contemplated in the Prospectus. The Fund is not aware of any contract, arrangement, understanding or relationship relating, directly or indirectly, to this tender offer (whether or not legally enforceable) between: (i) the Fund, the Adviser, any director of the Fund or any person controlling the Fund or controlling the Adviser or any director of the Fund; and (ii) any other person, with respect to the Shares. However, the LLC Agreement provides that the Board of Directors will call a meeting of Investors for the purpose of determining whether the Fund should be dissolved in the event that the Fund does not at least once during any 24-month period repurchase any of the Shares tendered in accordance with the procedures determined by the Board of Directors from time to time.
The Funds assets will be reduced by the amount of the tendered Shares that are purchased by the Fund. Thus, income relative to assets may be affected by the Offer. The purchase of Shares pursuant to the Offer will have the effect of increasing the proportionate interest in the Fund of Investors who do not tender Shares. Investors who retain their Shares may be subject to increased risks due to the reduction in the Funds aggregate assets resulting from payment for the Shares tendered. These risks include the potential for greater volatility due to decreased diversification. However, the Fund believes that this result is unlikely given the nature of the Funds investment program and the amount of the Offer. A reduction in the aggregate assets of the Fund may result in Investors who do not tender Shares bearing higher costs to the extent that certain expenses borne by the Fund are relatively fixed and may not decrease if assets decline. These effects may be reduced or eliminated to the extent that new and existing Investors make additional purchases of Shares from time to time, although there can be no assurance that such additional purchases will occur. Payment for Shares purchased pursuant to this Offer may also require the Fund to liquidate portfolio holdings earlier than the Adviser would otherwise have caused these holdings to be liquidated, potentially resulting in losses or increased investment related expenses.

Shares that are tendered to the Fund in connection with this Offer will be retired, although the Fund may issue new Shares from time to time in the course of its public offering of Shares. The Fund currently expects that it will accept purchases of Shares as of the first business day of each month, but is under no obligation to do so.

3. Offer to Purchase and Price |
The Fund will, on the terms and subject to the conditions of the Offer, purchase up to $44,500,000 of Shares that are properly tendered by Investors, and not withdrawn (in accordance with Section 6 below), before 12:00 midnight, Eastern Time, on the Expiration Date, which is October 27, 2021, unless the Offer is extended and not withdrawn. The Fund reserves the right to extend, amend or cancel the Offer as described in Sections 4 and 8 below. The purchase price of Shares tendered and accepted for purchase will be the net asset value as of the close of the Valuation Date, payable as set forth in Section 7. The Fund reserves the right to adjust the Valuation Date to correspond with any extension of the Offer.
As of the start of business on September 1, 2021, the Fund had approximately $183,667,750 in Shares outstanding (based on the unaudited net asset value of such Shares and including purchases made as of September 1, 2021). Investors may obtain monthly estimated net asset value information, which the Fund calculates based on information the Master Fund receives from the managers of investment funds in which the Master Fund invests, as of the most recent month-end, by contacting the Fund at the telephone number or address set forth on page 2, Monday through Friday, except holidays, during normal business hours of 8:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m., Eastern Time. The value of an Investors Shares will likely change between any such date and the Valuation Date, which is December 31, 2021, unless the Offer is extended, when the value of the Shares tendered by Investors will be determined for purposes of calculating the purchase price of Shares tendered and accepted for purchase.
4. Amount of Tender |
The Offer is being made to all Investors and is not conditioned on any minimum amount of Shares being tendered. Investors may tender all or a portion of their Shares. Partial tenders are subject to maintenance of a minimum account balance of at least $25,000 in the Fund, subject to the conditions set forth below. If the tender amount would cause the account balance to fall below $25,000, the Fund reserves the right to reduce the amount to be purchased so that a minimum $25,000 account balance is maintained.
If the amount of Shares that are properly tendered pursuant to the Offer and not withdrawn pursuant to Section 6 below is less than or equal to $44,500,000 (or such greater amount as the Fund may elect to purchase pursuant to the Offer), the Fund will, on the terms and subject to the conditions of the Offer, purchase all of the tendered Shares unless the Fund elects to cancel or amend the Offer, or postpone acceptance of tenders made pursuant to the Offer, as provided in Section 8 below. If more than $44,500,000 of Shares are duly tendered to the Fund prior to the expiration of the Offer and not withdrawn pursuant to Section 6 below, the Fund will in its sole discretion either: (a) accept the additional Shares permitted to be accepted pursuant to Rule 13e-4(f)(1) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the Exchange Act); (b) extend the Offer, if necessary, and increase the amount of Shares that the Fund is offering to purchase to an amount it believes sufficient to accommodate the excess Shares tendered as well as any Shares tendered during the extended Offer; or (c) accept a portion of each Investors Shares tendered prior to or on the Expiration Date for payment on a pro rata basis based on the aggregate net asset value of tendered Shares. The Offer may be extended, amended or canceled in various other circumstances described in Section 8 below.

5. Procedure for Tenders |
Investors who are clients of certain brokers may be instructed in the cover letter to this Offer to contact their financial intermediary directly in order to have the Fund purchase all or any portion of their Shares. Such Investors must contact their financial intermediary to ensure the proper completion and submission of the necessary documentation.
Unless otherwise instructed in the cover letter to this Offer, Investors wishing to tender Shares pursuant to the Offer should complete and execute a Letter of Transmittal either: (i) by mail to Grosvenor Funds, c/o BNY Mellon TA Alternative Investment RIC Funds, 4400 Computer Drive, Westborough, MA 01581, or (ii) by e-mail to [email protected] (please include the words Grosvenor Fund Tender Documents in the subject line). The completed and executed Letter of Transmittal must be received by the Fund, and in good order, no later than the Expiration Date. The Fund recommends that mailed documents be submitted to the Fund via certified mail, return receipt requested.
Investors wishing the Fund to confirm receipt of a Letter of Transmittal should include their e-mail address at the designated place on the Letter of Transmittal. The method of delivery of any documents is at the election and complete risk of the Investor tendering Shares, including, but not limited to, the failure of the Fund to receive any Letter of Transmittal or other document. All questions as to the validity, form, eligibility (including time of receipt) and acceptance of tenders will be determined by the Fund, in its sole discretion, and such determination shall be final and binding.
The Fund reserves the absolute right to reject any or all tenders determined by it not to be in appropriate form or the acceptance of or payment for which would, in the opinion of counsel for the Fund, be unlawful. The Fund also reserves the absolute right to waive any of the conditions of the Offer or any defect in any tender with respect to any particular Shares or any particular Investor, and the Funds interpretation of the terms and conditions of the Offer will be final and binding. Unless waived, any defects or irregularities in connection with a tender must be cured within such time as the Fund shall determine. A tender will not be deemed to have been made until the defects or irregularities relating to that tender have been cured or waived. None of the Fund, the Adviser, or the Board of Directors is obligated to give notice of any defects or irregularities in tenders, nor will any of them incur any liability for failure to give such notice.
6. Withdrawal Rights |
Pursuant to Rule 13e-4 of the Exchange Act, any Investor tendering Shares pursuant to this Offer may withdraw the tender at any time before 12:00 midnight, Eastern Time, on the Expiration Date, which is October 27, 2021, unless the Offer is extended, and, if the Fund has not yet accepted an Investors tender of Shares at any time on or before November 23, 2021 (i.e., 40 business days from the commencement of the Offer), an Investor may withdraw its tender of Shares after November 23, 2021. To be effective, any notice of withdrawal must be timely received by the Fund at the address set forth on page 2. A form of notice of withdrawal of a tender is enclosed and is also available by calling the Fund at the telephone number indicated on page 2. The Fund determines questions as to the form and validity (including time of receipt) of notices of withdrawal, in its sole discretion, and its determinations are final and binding. Shares subject to a tender that has been properly withdrawn are not thereafter deemed to be tendered for purposes of the Offer. However, withdrawn Shares may be tendered again prior to the Expiration Date by following the procedures described in Section 5.
7. Purchases and Payment |
For purposes of the Offer, the Fund will be deemed to have accepted for purchase Shares that are tendered as of when it gives written notice to the tendering Investors of its election to purchase the Investors Shares. As stated in Section 3 above, the purchase price of Shares tendered by any Investor and accepted for purchase will be the net asset value thereof as of the Valuation Date, which is December 31, 2021, if the Offer expires on the Initial Expiration Date, and otherwise the next occurring last business day of a calendar month which is at least sixty-five (65) days after the date on which the Offer expires.
Offer to Purchase TI 1 |
Page 7 |
An Investor whose Shares are tendered and accepted for purchase by the Fund will receive as consideration a non-interest bearing, non-transferable promissory note, to be held for such Investor by the Administrator, entitling the Investor to receive an initial payment in cash and/or marketable securities (valued in accordance with the LLC Agreement) equal to at least 95% of the unaudited net asset value of the Shares tendered and accepted for purchase by the Fund, determined as of the Valuation Date (the Initial Payment). Payment of this amount will be made to the Investor within (a) thirty-five (35) calendar days after the Valuation Date or (b) ten business days after the Master Fund has received at least 90% of the aggregate amount withdrawn by the Master Fund from any investment funds, if the Master Fund has requested withdrawals of its capital from such investment funds in order to fund the purchase of Shares. The promissory note also will entitle the Investor to receive a contingent payment in cash and/or marketable securities equal to the excess, if any, of (a) the net asset value of the Shares tendered and accepted for purchase by the Fund as of the Valuation Date (as it may be adjusted based upon subsequent revisions, if any, to the net asset values of the investment funds upon which the Funds determination of its net asset value is based) over (b) the Initial Payment (the Contingent Payment). The Contingent Payment, if any, will generally be payable within 120 days after the Valuation Date. The Fund will deposit into a segregated account an amount equal to the Contingent Payment. Any interest earned on these deposited amounts is for the benefit of the Fund and will not be paid to tendering Investors as part of any Contingent Payment. The Fund reserves the right to purchase less than the amount the Investor tenders if the purchase would cause the Investors account to have a balance of less than $25,000.
Although the Fund has retained the option to pay all or a portion of the purchase price by distributing marketable securities, the purchase price will be paid entirely in cash except in the unlikely event that the Board of Directors determines that the distribution of securities is necessary to avoid or mitigate any adverse effect of the Offer on the remaining Investors.
Any promissory notes paid to tendering Investors will be held for each Investor by the Administrator. Proceeds of the Initial Payment and any Contingent Payment will be wire transferred directly to the account designated by the Investor. Cash payments wired directly to such Investor accounts may be subject upon withdrawal from the account to any fees that the institution at which the account is held would customarily assess upon the withdrawal of cash from the account.
It is expected that cash payments for Shares acquired pursuant to the Offer will not exceed $44,500,000 (unless the Fund elects to purchase a greater amount) and will be derived from: (a) cash on hand; (b) withdrawal of capital derived from one or more of the investment funds in which the Master Fund invests; (c) the proceeds of the sale of securities and portfolio assets held by the Fund; or (d) possibly borrowings, as described below. There are no material conditions to the financing of the transaction. There are currently no alternative financing plans or arrangements for the transaction. The Fund will segregate, with its custodian, cash or U.S. government securities or other liquid securities equal to the value of the amount estimated to be paid under the promissory notes, as described above. None of the Fund, the Adviser, the Board of Directors or any of the officers of the Fund have determined at this time to borrow funds to purchase tendered Shares in connection with the Offer. However, depending on the dollar amount of Shares tendered and prevailing general economic and market conditions, the Fund, in its sole discretion, may decide to fund any portion of the purchase price, subject to compliance with applicable law, through borrowings. The Fund expects that the repayment of any amounts borrowed will be financed from additional funds contributed to the Fund by existing or new Investors, withdrawal of capital derived from the investment funds in which the Master Fund invests, or from the proceeds of the sale of securities and portfolio assets held by the Fund.
The repurchase of Shares is subject to regulatory requirements imposed by the Securities and Exchange Commission. The Funds repurchase procedures are intended to comply with such requirements. However, in the event that the Board of Directors determines that modification of the repurchase procedures described above is required or appropriate, the Board of Directors will adopt revised repurchase procedures as necessary to ensure the Funds compliance with applicable regulations or as the Board of Directors in its sole discretion deems appropriate. Following the commencement of an offer to repurchase Shares, the Fund may suspend or cancel such offer in certain circumstances upon the determination of a majority of the Board of Directors, including a majority of the directors that are not interested as that term is defined under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act), that such suspension, postponement or termination is advisable for the Fund and its Investors, including, without limitation, circumstances as a result of which it is not reasonably practicable for the Fund to dispose of its investments, to determine the value of its net assets, or other unusual circumstances.
Offer to Purchase TI 1 |
Page 8 |
Each Investor whose Shares have been accepted for repurchase will continue to be an Investor of the Fund until the Valuation Date (and thereafter if it has tendered only some of its Shares) and may exercise its voting rights with respect to the repurchased Shares until the Valuation Date. Moreover, the account maintained in respect of an Investor whose Shares have been accepted for repurchase will be adjusted for the net profits or net losses of the Fund through the Valuation Date, and such Investors account shall not be adjusted for the amount withdrawn, as a result of the repurchase, prior to the Valuation Date.
8. Certain Conditions of the Offer |
The Fund reserves the right, at any time and from time to time, to extend the period of time during which the Offer is pending by notifying Investors of the extension and of the new Expiration Date. In the event that the Fund so elects to extend the tender period, the Valuation Date for the purpose of determining the purchase price for tendered Shares will be the next occurring last business day of a calendar month which is at least sixty-five days (65) from the new Expiration Date. During any such extension, all Shares previously tendered and not withdrawn will remain subject to the Offer. The Fund also reserves the right, at any time and from time to time up to and including acceptance of tenders pursuant to the Offer: (a) to cancel or suspend the Offer in the circumstances set forth in the following paragraph and in the event of such cancellation or suspension not to purchase or pay for any Shares tendered pursuant to the Offer; (b) to amend the Offer; or (c) to postpone the acceptance of Shares tendered. If the Fund determines to amend the Offer or to postpone the acceptance of Shares tendered, it will, to the extent necessary, extend the period of time during which the Offer is open as provided above and will promptly notify Investors.
Please note that the Fund has the right to cancel, amend or postpone this Offer at any time prior to the Expiration Date. The Fund may cancel or suspend the Offer if: (a) the Master Fund would not be able to liquidate portfolio securities in a manner that is orderly and consistent with the Master Funds investment objectives and policies in order to purchase Shares tendered pursuant to the Offer; (b) there is, in the judgment of the Board of Directors, any (i) legal action or proceeding instituted or threatened challenging the Offer or otherwise materially adversely affecting the Fund, (ii) declaration of a banking moratorium by federal or state authorities or any suspension of payment by banks in the United States that is material to the Fund, (iii) limitation imposed by federal or state authorities on the extension of credit by lending institutions, (iv) suspension of trading on any organized exchange or over-the-counter market where the Master Fund has a material investment, (v) international or national calamity directly or indirectly involving the United States that is material to the Master Fund or the Fund, (vi) material decrease in the net asset value of the Fund from the net asset value of the Fund as of commencement of the Offer, or (vii) other event or condition that would have a material adverse effect on the Master Fund, the Fund or its Investors if Shares tendered pursuant to the Offer were purchased; or (c) the Board of Directors determines that it is not in the best interest of the Fund to purchase Shares pursuant to the Offer. However, there can be no assurance that the Fund will exercise its right to cancel or suspend the Offer.

10. Certain Federal Income Tax Consequences |
The following discussion is a general summary of the federal income tax consequences of the purchase of Shares by the Fund from Investors pursuant to the Offer. Investors should consult their own tax advisers for a complete description of the tax consequences of a purchase of their Shares by the Fund pursuant to the Offer.
The repurchase of Shares by the Fund may result in a taxable gain or loss to the tendering Investor. Different tax consequences may apply for tendering and non-tendering Investors in connection with a repurchase offer. For example, if an Investor does not tender all of his or her Shares, such repurchase might not be treated as an exchange for U.S. federal income tax purposes and might result in deemed distributions to non-tendering Investors. On the other hand, Investors who tender all of their Shares (including Shares deemed owned by Investors under constructive ownership rules) will be treated as having sold their Shares and generally will realize a capital gain or loss. Such gain or loss is measured by the difference between the Investors amount received and his or her adjusted tax basis of the Shares. For non-corporate Investors, gain or loss from the transfer or repurchase of Shares generally will be taxable at a U.S. federal income tax rate dependent upon the length of time the Shares were held. Shares held for a period of one year or less at the time of such repurchase or transfer will, for U.S. federal income tax purposes, generally result in short-term capital gains or losses, and those held for more than one year will generally result in long-term capital gains or losses.
Additionally, any loss realized on a disposition of Shares of the Fund may be disallowed under wash sale rules to the extent the repurchased Shares are replaced with other Shares of the Fund within a period of 61 days beginning 30 days before and ending 30 days after the Shares are repurchased by the Fund, such as pursuant to a dividend reinvestment in Shares of the Fund. If disallowed, the loss will be reflected in an upward adjustment to the basis of the Shares acquired.
Pursuant to Treasury Regulations directed at tax shelter activity, taxpayers are required to disclose to the Internal Revenue Service certain information on Form 8886 if they participate in a reportable transaction. A transaction may be a reportable transaction based upon any of several indicia with respect to an Investor, including the recognition of a loss in excess of certain thresholds (for individuals, $2 million in one year or $4 million in any combination of years). Investors should consult their own tax advisers concerning any possible disclosure obligation with respect to their investment in Shares.

Ladies and Gentlemen:
The undersigned hereby tenders to Grosvenor Registered Multi-Strategy Fund (TI 1), LLC, a closed-end, diversified, management investment company organized under the laws of the State of Delaware (the Fund), the shares of limited liability company interest (Shares) in the Fund or portion thereof held by the undersigned, described and specified below, on the terms and conditions set forth in the offer to purchase dated September 27, 2021 (Offer to Purchase), receipt of which is hereby acknowledged, and in this Letter of Transmittal (which together constitute the Offer). All capitalized terms used herein have the meaning as defined in the Funds LLC Agreement. The tender and this Letter of Transmittal are subject to all the terms and conditions set forth in the Offer to Purchase, including, but not limited to, the absolute right of the Fund to reject any and all tenders determined by it, in its sole discretion, not to be received timely and in the appropriate form.
The undersigned hereby sells to the Fund the Shares of the Fund tendered hereby pursuant to the Offer. The undersigned hereby warrants that the undersigned has full authority to sell the Shares tendered hereby and that the Fund will acquire good title thereto, free and clear of all liens, charges, encumbrances, conditional sales agreements or other obligations relating to the sale thereof, and not subject to any adverse claim, when and to the extent the same are purchased by the Fund. Upon request, the undersigned will execute and deliver any additional documents necessary to complete the sale in accordance with the terms of the Offer.
The undersigned recognizes that under certain circumstances set forth in the Offer, the Fund may not be required to purchase any of the Shares of the Fund or portion thereof tendered hereby. The undersigned recognizes that, if the Offer is oversubscribed, not all the undersigneds Shares of the Fund may be purchased.
The undersigned acknowledges that this Letter of Transmittal must be received by the Fund by either mail or e-mail by 12:00 midnight, Eastern Time, on October 27, 2021, and that the method of delivery of any document is at the election and the complete risk of the undersigned, including, but not limited to, the failure of the Fund, to receive any Letter of Transmittal or other document.
A non-transferable, non-interest bearing promissory note for the purchase price will be paid to the undersigned if the Fund accepts for purchase the Shares tendered hereby. The undersigned acknowledges that the promissory note will be held for the undersigned by BNY Mellon Investment Servicing (U.S.) Inc., the Funds administrator. The cash payment(s) of the purchase price for the Shares tendered by the undersigned and accepted for purchase by the Fund will be made by wire transfer of the proceeds to the undersigneds account of record, or wire transferred directly to the account designated by the Investor in this Letter of Transmittal. The undersigned hereby represents and warrants that the undersigned understands that upon a withdrawal of such cash payment from the account, the institution at which the account is held may subject such withdrawal to any fees that it would customarily assess upon the withdrawal of cash from such account. The undersigned hereby represents and warrants that the undersigned understands that any payment in the form of marketable securities would be made by means of special arrangement with the tendering member in the sole discretion of the Funds Board of Directors.
If the undersigneds Shares are tendered and accepted for purchase, the promissory note will also provide for a contingent payment portion of the purchase price, if any, as described in Section 7 of the Offer to Purchase. Any contingent payment of cash due pursuant to a note will also be made by wire transfer to the undersigneds account as designated in this Letter of Transmittal. The undersigned recognizes that the amount of the purchase price for Shares will be based on the unaudited net asset value of the Fund as of December 31, 2021 (the Valuation Date), subject to an extension of the Offer as described in Section 8 of the Offer to Purchase. The contingent payment portion of the purchase price, if any, will generally be made within 120 days of the Valuation Date.
All authority herein conferred or agreed to be conferred shall survive the death or incapacity of the undersigned and the obligation of the undersigned hereunder shall be binding on the heirs, personal representatives, successors and assigns of the undersigned. Except as stated in Section 6 of the Offer to Purchase, this tender is irrevocable.

Your Contingent Payment, if applicable, will generally be paid to you within 120 days of the Valuation Date. You will remain a member of the Fund with respect to any Shares of the Fund that you did not tender.
Your Contingent Payment is expected to be in an amount equal to the excess, if any, of (a) the net asset value of the Shares tendered and purchased as of the Valuation Date (as may or may not be adjusted based upon subsequent revisions to the net asset values of the Investment Funds) over (b) the Initial Payment.
If you have any questions, please contact the Fund at (877) 355-1469. Investors, who invested in the Fund through a financial intermediary, should contact their financial intermediary directly.
