offering memorandum dated
June 2016 (the "Memorandum") for the Alkeon Growth PW Partners, LP (the
"Partnership") and must be
read in the context of, and together with, the Memorandum. This Addendum has
been prepared to reflect
certain requirements under the EU Directive on Alternative Investment Fund
Managers (Directive
(2011/61/EU)), as implemented into relevant national law (the "AIFM
Directive"), as applicable to certain
investors in Alkeon Growth Offshore Fund, Ltd. (the "Offshore Feeder") and
Alkeon Growth Master Fund,
Ltd. (the "Master Fund"). In accordance with the AIFMD Rules, additional
disclosure is provided to
shareholders in the Offshore Feeder and the Partnership intends to provide
the same disclosures to
Limited Partners as set forth herein. Unless otherwise provided for herein,
all defined terms shall have the
same meanings as set out in the Memorandum.
With effect from the date of this Supplement, the Memorandum shall be deemed
to have been amended
as set out below.

Leverage and Collateral and Asset Re-use Arrangements
On page 7 of the Memorandum, under the section headed "INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE
AND
FOCUS", the following paragraphs shall be inserted after the second
paragraph in that section:
Leverage obtained through borrowing is obtained from the relevant lender.
Leverage obtained
through the use of derivatives and other non-fully funded instruments is
obtained from the
relevant counterparty.
EFTA01419597
The leverage limitation provisions of the AIFM Directive do not apply to the
Partnership or the
Offshore Feeder because neither the Partnership nor the Offshore Feeder is a
"non-EU AIF" and
the Investment Manager is a "non-EU AIFM" for purposes of the AIFM Directive.
The Master Fund's collateral and asset re-use arrangements vary according to
the identity of the
Master Fund's counterparty:
(A) The Master Fund's current collateral and asset re-use arrangements with
the Prime
Brokers are described in the section headed "Brokerage and Custody".

EFTA01419598
AGP LP 519 Alpha Group Capital Paul Barrett
(B) The Master Fund may be required to deliver collateral from time to time
to its trading
counterparties and/or brokers (including, but not limited to, the Prime
Brokers) under the
terms of the relevant agreements, credit support documentation and/or
securities lending,
repurchase, foreign exchange and/or futures clearing agreements), by posting
initial
margin and/or variation margin and on a daily mark-to-market basis. The
Master Fund
may deliver such collateral by way of title transfer or by way of security
interest (and in
certain circumstances grant a right of reuse of such collateral) to a
trading counterparty or
broker. The treatment of such collateral varies according to the type of
transaction and
where it is traded.
There are generally no restrictions on the re-use of collateral by such
trading counterparties and
brokers.

Investment Manager
On page 9 of the Memorandum, under the section headed "MANAGEMENT: The
General Partner
and the Investment Manager", the following paragraphs shall be inserted
after the first paragraph
in that section:
Alkeon Capital Management, LLC is the investment manager to the Partnership
and to the Master
Fund. The Investment Manager has been identified as the alternative
investment fund manager
("AIFM") for the Offshore Feeder and the Master Fund for purposes of the
Alternative Investment
Fund Managers Directive (2011/61/EU) (the "AIFM Directive"). Investors
should note that the
Investment Manager is not required to ensure, and has not ensured that, the
Partnership, the
Offshore Feeder and/or the Master Fund have appointed a depositary for the
purposes of the
AIFM Directive.
At present, the Investment Manager has not entered into any delegation
arrangements in
connection with its management activities. This may, however, be subject to
change, and (in the
event of any such delegation occurring) a relevant disclosure will be made
accordingly.

Investment Objective and Strategy
Risk and Liquidity Management
On page 7 of the Memorandum, under the section headed "INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE
EFTA01419599
AND
FOCUS", the following sub-sections shall be inserted at the end of the
section:
Risk Management
Risk management is a crucial part of the investment process at the
Investment Manager. The
Investment Manager analyses risk as both a holding and portfolio level. At
the holding level, the
Investment Manager seeks long exposure
in underlying securities which exhibit strong
fundamentals and high barriers to entry, and short exposure to underlying
securities which exhibit
weak fundamentals and commoditized positioning.
At the portfolio level, the Investment Manager seeks to control risk through
the application of the
f
ollowing risk principles:
Diversification
o The Investment Manager maintains a broad portfolio in an attempt to
minimize
vi
he chance of idiosyncratic or "single name" risk to the portfolio.
Avoidance of market timing
3
EFTA01419600
I
GP LP 519 Alpha Group Capital Paul Barrett
o The Investment Manager has historically maintained a net long bias.
Prudent use of leverage
The Investment Manager generates daily reports of the Partnership and firm
exposures that are
disseminated to its investment team as well as the Chief Operating Officer
and the Chief
Financial Officer.
The Investment Manager monitors real time risk, performance attribution and
benchmark return
analysis through a combination of third party and customized risk management
tools.
Investors should note that the Investment Manager is not required to employ
risk management
systems in accordance with the AIFM Directive.
5.
Prime Brokers
On page 27 of the Memorandum, under the section headed "Brokerage and
Custody", the
following sub-sections shall be inserted after the first paragraph:
Credit Suisse Securities (USA) LLC
Credit Suisse acts as a prime broker and custodian to the Master Fund
pursuant to the terms and
conditions of a Customer Agreement (together with the Annexes thereto) dated
January 12, 2012
(the "Credit Suisse Prime Brokerage Agreement"). Credit Suisse is a part of
the Credit Suisse
Group and is based in New York, with offices worldwide. Credit Suisse

In accordance with applicable US law, including but not limited to, the
rules and regulations of the
US Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC"), all of the assets of the
Master Fund are
held in the name of the Master Fund and beneficial ownership thereof is
recorded on the books of
Credit Suisse as belonging to the Master Fund. The rules of the SEC require
that Credit Suisse
holds all fully-paid and excess margin customer securities either physically
or in a control
location. To the extent of applicable US law, such securities and cash will
generally not be
available to the creditors of Credit Suisse.
Credit Suisse and its affiliates have a security interest in all securities
and other property of the
Master Fund that are delivered to, in the possession of or held in an
account at Credit Suisse or

its affiliates. All of the Master Fund's securities, commodities or other
property may from time to
time (without notice to the Master Fund) be pledged, repledged,
hypothecated, rehypothecated,
sold or otherwise transferred or used, in which event the Master Fund will
only have a right to the
return of equivalent assets.
However, any such pledging, re-pledging, hypothecation, re-hypothecation,
selling, transfer or
use by Credit Suisse or its affiliates is subject to the applicable rules of
the SEC (including,
without limitation, Rule 15c3-3 promulgated under the Securities Exchange
Act of 1934) which
limits the amount Credit Suisse can pledge, repledge, hypothecate,
rehypothecate, sell or
otherwise transfer or use to an amount up to but not exceeding 140% of the
Master Fund's
margin debit balance.
Credit Suisse or its affiliates may execute any of their duties and exercise
its rights by or through
agents. In selecting and appointing such agents, Credit Suisse or its
affiliates
shall use
commercially reasonable care to ensure that they appoint only persons or
entities they
reasonably believe to be competent and will periodically make what they
reasonably consider to
4
EFTA01419602
AGP LP 519 Alpha Group Capital Paul Barrett

custodians are being
competently discharged.

its officers,
directors, employees, agents and affiliates for any losses, claims, damages
or reasonable
expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses, fines and
penalties) arising out of
or in connection with any agreement the Master Fund has with Credit Suisse,

judgment made by it in good faith for any action taken or omitted to be
taken under in connection
with the Credit Suisse Prime Brokerage Agreement.
Credit Suisse may modify the terms of the Credit Suisse Prime Brokerage
Agreement in writing at
any time on thirty days prior written notice and as set forth in the Credit
Suisse Prime Brokerage

pursuant to the terms
and conditions of a Customer Prime Broker Account Agreement (together with
the Annexes and
Schedules thereto) dated December 31, 2002, (the "Morgan Stanley Prime
Brokerage
Agreement").
In accordance with applicable US law, including but not limited to, the
rules and regulations of the
SEC, all of the assets of the Master Fund are held in the name of the Master
Fund and beneficial
ownership thereof is recorded on the books of Morgan Stanley as belonging to
EFTA01419603

The rules of the SEC require that Morgan Stanley holds all fully-paid and
excess margin customer
securities either physically or in a control location. To the extent of
applicable US law, such

are held in an account at Morgan Stanley or its affiliates to secure the
payment and performance
by the Master Fund of its obligations to Morgan Stanley and its affiliates.

in Morgan Stanley's or
its affiliates possession may from time to time (without notice to the
Master Fund) be pledged,
hypothecated or re-hypothecated, separately or in combination with other
securities, commodities
or other property, in which event the Master Fund will only have a right to
the return of equivalent
assets.

General
Each of the Prime Brokers is a service provider to the Master Fund and none
of them are
responsible for the preparation of this Supplement or the activities of the
Partnership or the
Master Fund and therefore each accepts no responsibility for any information
contained in this
Supplement.
The allocation of assets between the Prime Brokers will be determined by the
Investment
Manager in its sole discretion based on, among other things, the nature of
the transaction.
The Prime Brokers have no decision-making responsibility relating to the
Master Fund's
investments, which decisions remain the responsibility of the Master Fund at
all times. The Prime
Brokers have no responsibility for any of the Master Fund's assets that are
not held by the Prime
Brokers or their affiliates, subject to the conditions that apply when the
Master Fund's assets are
held with a sub-custodian appointed by a Prime Broker.
The Master Fund reserves the right to change the prime brokerage and/or
custodian
arrangements described above by agreement with the relevant Prime Broker and/-
or, in its
discretion, by a resolution of the directors of the Master Fund, to appoint
additional or alternative
prime broker(s) and/or custodian(s) without prior notice to Limited
EFTA01419605
Partners. Limited Partners will
be notified in due course of any appointment of additional or alternative
prime broker(s) and
custodian(s).
6.
Fees, Charges and Expenses
On page 10 of the Memorandum, under the sub-section headed "MANAGEMENT FEE;
EXPENSES; Expenses", the following paragraphs shall be inserted after the
second paragraph of
the sub-section:
The Auditor, Administrator, Custodial, Legal, Prime Brokerage and Registered
Office (to the
Master Fund) service providers are paid fees at commercial rates. Such fees
may be changed by
mutual agreement from time to time.
Operational expenses, as well as dealing commissions and other non-monetary
benefits, payable
by the Partnership and/or the Master Fund are charged at normal commercial
rates and may be
changed from time to time by mutual agreement.
6
EFTA01419606
AGP LP 519 Alpha Group Capital Paul Barrett
The maximum amounts of the fees, charges and expenses borne (directly or
indirectly) by Limited
Partners will depend on a number of factors including, but not limited to,
portfolio turnover, level
of borrowings and number of short sales.
The Partnership does not have a pre-determined limit on its ordinary or
extraordinary operating
expenses. The Partnership's actual annual operating expenses are disclosed
in the Partnership's
year-end audited financial statement/ annual report, which are provided to
each Limited Partner.
7
Fair Treatment of Shareholders
On page 37 of the Memorandum, the following section shall be inserted as
section 17:
Fair Treatment of Investors
As a general matter, it is the General Partner who owes certain fiduciary
duties to the Partnership
under Delaware law, which requires it to, among other things, act in good
faith and in what it
considers to be in the best interests of the Partnership and in doing so,
the General Partner acts
in a manner that ensures the fair treatment of Limited Partners. In
exercising its discretion
(including in determining to cause the Partnership to enter into any side
letters or other similar
arrangements), the General Partner will act in accordance with such
fiduciary duties. This
requires the General Partner to ensure that its actions (including, without
limitation, in entering
into side letters or other similar arrangements) do not result in the unfair
treatment of Limited
Partners. As a general matter of Cayman law, the Investment Manager owes
duties to the Master
Fund only and not directly to Limited Partners.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Investment Manager is registered as an
investment adviser
with the SEC, and therefore, the Investment Manager has a broad fiduciary
duty to act in the best
interests of its clients, including the Partnership, the Offshore Feeder and
the Master Fund.
Under the AIFMD Rules, the Investment Manager must treat all Limited
Partners fairly. The
Investment Manager ensures the fair treatment of Limited Partners through
its decision-making
procedures and organizational structure which: (i) identify any preferential
treatment, or the right
thereto, accorded to Limited Partners; and (ii) ensure that any such
preferential treatment does
not result in an overall material disadvantage to other Limited Partners.
EFTA01419607
Preferential Treatment of Investors
No specific type of investor is granted preferential treatment. As of the
date of this Supplement,
aside from Most Favoured Nation ("MFN") clauses, no preferential terms have
been granted by
the Investment Manager.
Other than any contractual right to enforce the provisions of the MFN, these
investors have no
economic or legal links with the Partnership, the Master Fund and/or the
Investment Manager
other than their respective investments in the Partnership and, where
applicable, certain other
fund(s) managed by the Investment Manager.
To the extent preferential treatment is entered into in the future, the
details of such terms,
together with details of any economic or legal links which the applicable
investor may have with
the Investment Manager, will be available by way of special communication
from the Investment
Manager.

Valuation of the Partnership's Assets
On page 37 of the Memorandum, under the section headed "OTHER PROVISIONS OF
THE
LIMITED PARTNERSHIP AGREEMENT", the following paragraph shall be inserted at
the end of
the section:
For details of the latest value of the net assets of the Partnership,
together with the historical
performance, please see the enclosed fact sheet, currently dated as of July
1, 2016, which shall
be provided to investors separately from this Memorandum. Updated versions
of the fact sheet
are available upon request from the Investment Manager.

Prime Broker Risks
On page 17 of the Memorandum, under the Section headed "Risk Factors", the
following risk
factors shall be inserted after the risk factor "Counterparty Risk":
Prime Broker Insolvency The Master Fund is at risk of a Prime Broker
entering into an
insolvency procedure. During such a procedure (which may last many years)
the use by the
Master Fund of assets held by or on behalf of the relevant Prime Broker may
be restricted or
following close out, may be converted into cash, and accordingly (a) the
ability of the Investment
Manager to fulfil the investment objective may be severely constrained, (b)
the Partnership may
be required to suspend the calculation of the capital account balances and
as a result
subscriptions for and withdrawals, and/or (c) the value of the Partnership's
net assets may be
otherwise affected. During such a procedure, the Master Fund is likely to be
an unsecured
creditor in relation to certain assets and accordingly the Master Fund may
be unable to recover
such assets from the insolvent estate of the relevant Prime Broker, as the
case may be, in full, or
at all.
In the event that a Prime Broker becomes insolvent and a liquidation
proceeding is initiated under
the United States Securities Investor Protection Act of 1970, as amended
("SIPA"), the Master
Fund would ordinarily be entitled to receive its pro rata share of customer
property held by that
Prime Broker based upon the net equity in its securities account with that
Prime Broker. If the pro
rata share that the Master Fund receives is less than 100% of the Master
Fund's allowed net
EFTA01419609
equity claim, the Master Fund would ordinarily be entitled to recover the
amount of the shortfall up
to specified statutory limits from a fund established under SIPA to
reimburse customers of
insolvent broker-dealers. If the Master Fund does not recover the full
amount of its allowed net
equity claim after receiving its pro rata share of customer property
recovered from the insolvent
broker-dealer's estate and maximum payment from the customer reimbursement
fund established
under SIPA, it will be a general unsecured creditor of the insolvent broker-
dealer with respect to
such remaining shortfall and, therefore, may not be able to recover the full
amount or any of its
net equity claim.
Prime Brokers to the Master Fund In relation to the Master Fund's right to
the return of assets
equivalent to those of the Master Fund's investments which a Prime Broker
lends to itself or
others or pledges, repledges, hypothecates
Fund will rank as one
of the relevant Prime Broker's unsecured creditors. In the event of the
insolvency of a Prime
Broker or a sub-custodian of a Prime Broker, the Master Fund would be
entitled to receive its pro
rata share of customer property held by the relevant Prime Broker in an
amount equal to the net
equity in its securities account with the relevant Prime Broker. If the pro
rata share that the Master
Fund receives is less than 100 per cent of what the relevant Prime Broker
(the Master Fund will
be entitled as a matter of law to the cash
securities in its prime
brokerage account, minus any indebtedness
the Master Fund
could recover cash or securities
specified statutory limit
from a fund established under US
broker-dealers. If the
Master Fund does not recover all
that have been
rehypothecated, from its account
pro rata share of
8
or rehypothecates, the Master
and marked-to-market value of the
to the relevant broker-dealer),
with a marked-to-market value of up to a
law to reimburse customers of insolvent
cash and securities, including securities
with a broker-dealer after receiving its
EFTA01419610
AGP LP 519 Alpha Group Capital Paul Barrett
customer property recovered from the insolvent broker-dealer's estate, if
any, and maximum
payment from the customer reimbursement fund established under US law
to
reimburse
customers of insolvent broker-dealers, it will be an unsecured creditor of
the insolvent brokerdealer
with respect to such shortfall and, therefore, may not be able to recover
equivalent assets
in full, or at all.
Any securities of the Master Fund held by the Prime Brokers may be held in a
general client or
"omnibus" account together with the securities of other clients. The use of
an omnibus account
could result in the Master Fund bearing losses as a result of a shortfall in
the omnibus account
that would not have ensued had its securities been held in a designated
client account. Moreover,
under contractual arrangements relating to the operation of the omnibus
account, the Master
Fund may be restricted from voting its securities as it wishes under
arrangements relating to the
operation of the omnibus account.
Moreover, the Master Fund is subject to the risk that a Prime Broker may be
unable to perform
with respect to transactions, whether due to insolvency, bankruptcy or other
causes. In addition,
the nature of commercial arrangements made in the normal course of business
between many
prime brokers and/or custodians means that in the case of any one Prime
Broker defaulting on its
obligations to the Master Fund, the effects of such a default may have
consequential negative
effects on other prime brokers and/or custodians with whom the Master Fund
deals. The Master
Fund and, by extension, the Partnership may, therefore, be exposed to
systemic risk when the
Master Fund deals with prime brokers and/or custodians whose
creditworthiness may be
interlinked.
Where a Prime Broker delegates the safe custody of the Master Fund's
securities held by it
pursuant to the relevant agreement to a sub-custodian located outside of the
United States, as
the case may be, the settlement, legal and regulatory requirements in the
relevant overseas
jurisdiction may be different from those in the United States, and there may
be different practices
for the separate identification of the Master Fund's securities. Where the
Master Fund's securities
EFTA01419611
are registered or recorded in the name of a Prime Broker or a sub-custodian,
they may not be
segregated and hence may not be as well protected as if they were registered
or recorded in the
name of the Master Fund.
Prime Broker Conflicts of Interest From time to time, the Investment
Manager's personnel may
speak at conferences and programs for potential investors interested in
investing in hedge funds
which are sponsored by the Prime Brokers or other prime brokers. These
conferences and
programs may be a means by which the Investment Manager may be introduced to
potential
investors in the Partnership. Currently, none of the Investment Manager, the
Partnership or the
Master Fund intends to compensate the Prime Brokers or other prime brokers
for organising such
"capital introduction" events or for any investments ultimately made by
prospective investors
attending such events (although they may do so in the future). While such
events and other
services provided by the Prime Brokers or other prime brokers may influence
the Investment
Manager in deciding whether to recommend the use of such Prime Broker or
other prime broker
to the Master Fund in connection with brokerage, financing and other
activities of the Master
Fund, the Investment Manager will not commit to allocate a particular amount
of brokerage to a
broker-dealer in any such situation.
10.
Annual Report
On page 37 of the Memorandum, under the section headed "OTHER PROVISIONS OF
THE
LIMITED PARTNERSHIP AGREEMENT; Reports to Partners", the following paragraph
shall be
inserted as the second paragraph of the sub-section:
9
EFTA01419612
AGP LP 519 Alpha Group Capital Paul Barrett
An annual report prepared pursuant to Article 22 of the AIFM Directive has
been prepared in
respect of the financial year ending December 31, 2015 and is available to
Limited Partners on
request from the Investment Manager.
11.
Legal Implications of Investment in the Partnership
On page 37 of the Memorandum, the following section shall be inserted as a
new section 18:
18. LEGAL IMPLICATIONS OF INVESTMENT IN THE PARTNERSHIP
The main legal implications of the contractual relationship entered into for
the purpose of
investment in the Partnership are set forth in the Subscription Agreement
and the Partnership
Agreement.
Except as expressly provided in the Delaware Revised Uniform Limited
Partnership Act, the
Limited Partners shall not be liable for any liabilities, or for the payment
of any debts and
obligations, of the Partnership.
None of the agreements appointing the Investment Manager, the Administrator,
the Prime
Brokers, the auditors, legal counsel or any other of the Partnership's
service providers provides
for any third party rights for Limited Partners.
In the absence of a direct contractual relationship between the Limited
Partner and the relevant
service provider, Limited Partners generally have no direct rights against
the relevant service
provider and there are only limited circumstances in which a Limited Partner
may potentially bring
a claim against the relevant service provider. Instead, the proper claimant
in an action in respect
of which a wrongdoing is alleged to have been committed against the
Partnership by the relevant
service provider is, prima facie, the Partnership itself.
Federal and state courts in the United States will recognize judgments
entered by courts outside
of the United States subject to limited exceptions. Although the law varies
from state to state, the
majority of states, including New York and Delaware, have adopted, in whole
or in part, the
Uniform Foreign-Country Money Judgments Recognition Act (the "Judgments
Recognition Act").
The Judgments Recognition Act permits the recognition of money judgments
entered by foreign
countries provided they are final, conclusive and enforceable where
rendered. The Judgments
Recognition Act contains several exceptions to recognition, including but
not limited to foreign
EFTA01419613
judgments rendered under a judicial system that does not provide impartial
tribunals or
procedures compatible with the requirements of due process of law, and
foreign judgments
entered in a court without personal jurisdiction over the defendant.
Generally, judgments may be
recognized without consideration of the underlying merits, and once
recognized, the judgment
creditor may avail itself of any judgment enforcement mechanisms in the
state of recognition.
12.
Regular and periodic disclosures required under the AIFM Directive
Under the AIFMD Rules, the Offshore Fund and the Master Fund are required to
provide certain
periodic reporting to shareholders of each fund and the Partnership intends
to provide the same
reporting to the Limited Partners.
Specifically, the following information will be disclosed to Limited
Partners on a periodic basis by
way of special communication from the Investment Manager:
(A) the percentage of the Partnership's and the Master Fund's assets that
are subject to
special arrangements arising from their illiquid nature (including, but not
limited to,
deferrals of withdrawals and/or suspension);
10
EFTA01419614
AGP LP 519 Alpha Group Capital Paul Barrett
(B) any new arrangements for managing the liquidity of the Partnership and/-
or the Master
Fund including, but not limited to, any material changes to the liquidity
management
systems and procedures employed by the Investment Manager; provided that
Limited
Partners will be notified where gates, side pockets or other similar special
arrangements
are activated or where withdrawals are suspended;
(C) the current risk profile of the Partnership and the Master Fund and, to
the extent not
disclosed in this Supplement, the risk management systems employed by the
Investment
Manager to manage those risks; and
(D) the total amount of leverage employed by the Partnership and the Master
Fund
Any changes to the right of re-use of collateral or any changes to any
guarantee granted under
any leveraging arrangement will be made available on a periodic basis by way
of special
communication from the Investment Manager. As at the date of this
Supplement, none of the
Master Fund's assets are subject to special arrangements arising from their
illiquid nature.
The total current amount of leverage employed by the Master Fund will be
made available on a
periodic basis by way of special communication from the Investment Manager.
This Supplement does not update any other part of the Memorandum.
