ENDORSEMENTS
The endorsements of current or past portfolio company executives are provided as illustrative examples and designed to demonstrate the benefits to portfolio companies of partnering with us. These statements are primarily aimed at prospective portfolio companies and not intended to solicit investors. The portfolio companies covered in these endorsements do not represent all portfolio company investments we have made. The experiences highlighted in these testimonials are solely those of the executives profiled and may not necessarily represent or be indicative of the current, past, or future experiences of other portfolio companies. Past results and experiences discussed are not indicative, or a guarantee of future results and experiences. We have not provided cash or other type of compensation in exchange for receiving these endorsements. We do not believe there are typically any material conflicts associated with providing these endorsements. The compensation of our portfolio company executives is primarily driven by the performance of their respective portfolio companies and any discretion we exercise in such compensation determinations is not influenced by whether an executive has provided a favorable statement. Additionally, the economic interests of our portfolio companies’ executives are generally well-aligned with ours and those of our investors. Nevertheless, the fact that these endorsements have been provided by individuals whose compensation we exercise a certain level of control over may incentivize them to provide favorable evaluations of their experiences working with us.

OTHER DISCLOSURES
Strategic Acceleration Team (“SAT”) individuals are employees of Polaris who provide finance, corporate development, sales acceleration and other support services (the “Operating Advisor Services”) directly to the portfolio companies of the Polaris Growth Funds on behalf of the SAT business. The SAT business pays such individuals compensation for their Operating Advisor Services and bear expenses related to the provision of such services and operating the SAT business (such amounts, the “Operating Advisor Business Costs”). The SAT business has and expects to continue to charge portfolio companies for such Operating Advisor Services (any such payments, “Operating Advisor Portfolio Compensation”), provided that over the term of any Polaris Growth Fund, Operating Advisor Portfolio Compensation shall not exceed Operating Advisor Business Costs. In the event that the aggregate Operating Advisor Portfolio Compensation received by the SAT business during the term of a Polaris Growth Fund fund exceeds the amount of Operating Advisor Business Costs borne by the SAT business (such excess amount, the “Operating Advisor Services Net Income”), the management fee payable by such fund will be reduced by the amount of any such Operating Advisor Services Net Income.

Growth Experts are not employees of Polaris and are oftentimes employees of portfolio companies and/or receive other compensation from portfolio companies. Any compensation received by a Growth Expert from a portfolio company will not be subject to offset against management fees.
