Portfolio Update to 31 May 2023

NAV performance during the month driven by:

   -- 0.9% NAV increase ($12 million) from the value of quoted holdings (which 
      constitute 13% of portfolio fair value) 
 
   -- 0.9% NAV decrease ($11 million) from negative FX movements, primarily 
      attributable to changes in the EUR/USD rate 
 
   -- Excluding FX, 0.3% NAV decrease ($4 million) from the receipt of first 
      quarter private company valuation information received during the month 
      of May; including previous received Q1 valuations, private company 
      valutions up by 0.6% in Q1 2023 from Q4 2022 
 
   -- 0.1% NAV decrease ($1 million) attributable to changes in the Zero 
      Dividend Preference share (ZDP) liability and expense accruals 

Robust liquidity -- $41 million of proceeds received year to date and well positioned to take advantage of opportunities

   -- $306 million of available liquidity ($6 million of cash, $300 million of
