AN OFFERING OF INTERESTS WILL BE MADE ONLY BY MEANS OF A CONFIDENTIAL PRIVATE OFFERING MEMORANDUM (THE "MEMORANDUM") AND ONLY TO QUALIFIED INVESTORS IN JURISDICTIONS WHERE PERMITTED BY LAW. An investment in the Fund is speculative and involves a high degree of risk. The Fund will have limitations on investors' ability to withdraw or transfer their investments, and no secondary market for the Fund's interests exists or will develop. Certain of these risks, and other important risks, are described in detail in the Fund's Memorandum. Prospective investors are strongly urged to review the Memorandum carefully and consult with their own financial, legal and tax advisors, before investing. There can be no assurances that the Fund will have a return on invested capital similar to the returns of other accounts managed by Ari Glass or Boothbay Fund Management LLC (together with their affiliates, "Boothbay") because, among other reasons, there may be differences in investment policies, economic conditions, regulatory climate, portfolio size, portfolio managers, leverage and expenses. In addition, there is no guarantee that Boothbay will succeed in attracting portfolio managers or that it will be able to construct a successful platform of portfolio managers. The fact that the Fund or other accounts managed by Ari Glass or Booth bay have realized gains in the past is not an indication that the Fund will realize any gains in the future. Prior performance is not necessarily indicative of future results. This investor presentation contains certain forward looking statements and projections. Such statements and projections are subject to a number of assumptions, risks and uncertainties which may cause actual results, performance or achievements to be materially different from future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements and projections. Prospective investors are cautioned not to invest based on these forward-looking statements and projections. The information in this investor presentation is current as of the date listed on the cover page and is subject to change or amendment. The delivery of this investor presentation at any time does not imply that the information contained herein is correct at any time subsequent to such date. Certain information contained herein has been supplied to Boothbay by outside sources. While Boothbay believes such sources are reliable, it cannot guarantee the accuracy or completeness of any such information. Distribution of this investor presentation to any person other than the person to whom this information was originally delivered or to such person's advisors is unauthorized and any reproduction of these materials, in whole or in part, or the disclosure of any of the contents, without the express, prior written consent of Boothbay in each such instance is prohibited. ENDNOTES 1. All returns in this investor presentation are net of a 1% management fee and a 14.0% incentive allocation. Such returns are net of expenses and reflect the reinvestment of dividends, capital gains and other earnings and assumes "new issues" eligibility. 2. The SPX index is an American stock market index based on the market capitalizations of SOO large companies having common stock listed on the NYSE or NASDAQ. Comparisons to indices have limitations because the composition of indices (for example, in terms of number and type of securities) and the volatility and other material characteristics of indices may differ substantially from the Fund. In addition, unlike the Fund, which is actively managed and may periodically maintain cash positions, indices, such as the SPX index, are unmanaged and are fully invested. Therefore, performance of the Fund may differ substantially from the performance of an index. Because of these differences, an index's returns should not be viewed as a representation that the Fund's portfolio is comparable to the securities comprising such index and should not be relied upon as an accurate measure of comparison. 3. These returns assume an investment at inception. Performance for an individual investor may differ due to, among other things, the timing of subscriptions and withdrawals, applicable management fees and incentive compensation rates, participation in designated side pocket investments, and the extent to which an investor may participate in "new issues." Past performance is not indicative of future results. 4. The 2014 annual returns are based on audited data. MI monthly and the 2015 year to date returns are based on unaudited data. S. The sector and strategy exposure charts should not be construed as providing any assurance or guarantee as to the composition of the Fund's portfolios in the future. Actual portfolio composition may, and at times will, differ from such historical exposures. Percentage allocations of Boothbay as of 12/31/15.
