Voting policy
In accordance with the provisions of the General Regulation of the AMF, Essling Capital has defined a voting policy that presents and defines the principles put in place with regard to the exercise of the voting rights attached to securities held by the investment funds (venture capital funds, innovation funds, professional funds and other alternative investment funds) managed by Essling Capital.
Essling Capital regards the exercise of voting rights as an integral part of the management of the funds’ investments and aims to fully play its part as a shareholder.
Essling Capital’s policy is to attend all meetings of shareholders of the funds’ investments under management and to exercise the voting rights attached thereto. Generally, Essling Capital arranges to be represented at meetings by the person responsible for the investment or by any person holding a proxy.
Otherwise, in cases where it is not possible for one of its representatives to attend physically or when the resolutions presented to the meeting only involve matters of minor importance for the investment, Essling Capital exercises its voting rights by post. In the event that it is not possible to follow these two recommendations, a proxy may be given to the Chairman of the investment or to an informed third party chosen by Essling Capital. In that case, depending on the nature of the resolution, the proxy may be discretionary or non-discretionary.

Complaints
The complaints processing procedure specifies the way in which complaints are passed on and processed within Essling Capital in accordance with the principles set out in the General Regulation of the AMF and Instruction 2012-07 “Complaints processing”.
A complaint is a statement by the customer officially recording its dissatisfaction with Essling Capital or in relation to an investment service provided by Essling Capital. A request for information, for an opinion, or for a product or service clarification, is not a complaint.
Distributors with which Essling Capital has put an investment and marketing agreement in place will pass on any complaint received to Essling’ Head of Compliance and Internal Control, to enable him to handle the processing of that complaint.
Complaints can be received by any means, by post or by mail:
Essling Capital

75008 Paris,
France
Upon receipt of a complaint, an acknowledgement of receipt will be sent within a maximum of 10 business days, unless a response has been given within that period. A response will be given to the customer within a maximum period of 2 months from the date of receipt of the complaint, unless duly established special circumstances arise.
Customers can send a complaint in the official language or in one of the official languages of the Member State in which the Fund is marketed or in which the investment service is provided. Such complaints will then be answered in the same language.
If the response is not satisfactory, the AMF’s mediator may be contacted by letter at the following address:

Reminder of the main risks
Investment capital funds invest essentially in unlisted companies or small-cap companies. The main risks facing those funds are:
The risk of loss of capital: the funds are invested in unlisted securities and are not covered by any capital guarantee; it is therefore possible that the capital initially invested will not be repaid in full.
The liquidity risk: the funds are mainly invested in unlisted securities that are not immediately liquid; such investments are likely to remain locked up for several years, or even to be sold at a price lower than their market value, which will result in a reduction in the net asset value of the fund.
The credit risk: the risk of loss of a receivable by the fund due to default by the debtor on the due date associated with investments in bond, money market or diversified assets. In the event of deterioration in the quality of the issuers, the value of such assets could result in a reduction in the net asset value of the fund.
Currency risk: investments may be denominated in currencies other than the Euro and their value may therefore vary according to the exchange rate.
For more information, please contact the Management Company.
Conflicts of interest policy
A conflict of interest situation means any situation in which the interests of Essling Capital as an investment fund manager, or those of its associated companies or shareholders, differ from the interests of customers, and in which the decision-making process could favour Essling
Capital to the detriment of customers.
Essling Capital’s business must be managed in the interests of customers and with a view to treating partner companies or co-investors fairly. To that end, Essling Capital has put a procedure in place setting out the systems for the prevention, detection and management of conflicts of interest in relation to the activities carried on by Essling Capital.
The main conflicts of interest identified can arise at the time
- of investment or disinvestment
- of valuation of investments and risk management
- of the provision of products, services and advice
The Head of Compliance and Internal Control keeps an up-to-date permanent register of proven or potential conflicts of interest. Conflicts of interest are reported to Essling Capital’s management executives.
Essling Capital undertakes to inform its customers of the general nature or source of such conflict or conflicts of interest if such situations are identified.
For more information, please contact the Management Company.
Best Selection Policy
Essling Capital does not provide an order execution investment service on behalf of third parties. Consequently, Essling Capital applies all reasonable procedures and measures to obtain the best possible result for the investment funds under its management, when transmitting for execution orders resulting from its decisions to trade in financial instruments on their account, in order to guarantee the rapid and efficient execution of the orders in the interest of the end customer.
The policy adopted by Essling Capital is based on procedures for the “Best Selection” of the intermediaries responsible for the execution of orders, and on control procedures intended to satisfy it that those intermediaries comply with the “Best Execution” principle.
