Prospective investors must be aware that investments in funds or investment platforms such as the respective Alma Global funds or investment platforms are speculative and involve substantial risk of
loss. This document does not, and does not purport to, contain an exhaustive list of potential risks related to an investment in a fund or investment platform. Prospective investors in any of the funds or
investment platforms should carefully review the Confidential Private Placement Memorandum, as the same may be supplemented and/or amended from time to time, particularly the sections entitled
“Certain Risk Factors” and “Certain Investment Considerations.” As some or all alternative investment programs may not be suitable for certain investors, any persons subscribing for or maintaining an
investment must be able to bear the risks involved and must meet the suitability requirements relating to such investment. Among the risk factors that each prospective investor should consider are the
risk factors set forth in this paragraph. An investment in an Alma Global fund or investment platform is speculative and involves substantial degrees of risk. An investor in a fund or investment platform
could lose all or a substantial amount of its investment. The funds’ or investment platforms’ respective performances may be volatile. A fund or investment platform may be leveraged. There are
restrictions on transferring interests in the funds or investment platform, and the funds or investment platforms are illiquid. There is no secondary market for investors’ interests in the funds or investment
platforms and none is expected to develop. An investment in a fund or investment platform involves complex tax considerations and there may be delays in distributing important tax information to
investors. The funds’ or investment platforms’ respective fees and expenses may be substantial, and may offset their respective investment profits. The funds’ or investment platforms’ investments will be
subject to the risks inherent in the ownership and operation of infrastructure-related assets. General risks include but are not limited to local, regional or worldwide economic or political changes, as well
as regulatory changes or administrative practices over which the funds or investment platforms have no control, including the regulatory environment; interest rates; currency fluctuations; exchange
controls; inflation; liquidity of markets; tax policies; and other political, social and economic developments that may occur in the jurisdictions in which the funds’ or investment platforms’ respective
infrastructure assets operate. Infrastructure-related risks may also include the supply and demand for services from, and access to, infrastructure; the financial condition of users and suppliers of
infrastructure assets; changes in interest rates and the availability of funds which may render the purchase, sale or refinancing of infrastructure assets difficult or impracticable; changes in environmental
laws and regulations, and in planning laws and other governmental rules; environmental claims arising in respect of infrastructure; changes in energy prices; uninsured casualties; acts of force majeure,
terrorist events and other factors affecting operating costs, including breakdown or failure of equipment, industrial accidents and labor disputes.
