The Investor, as shareholder of a compartment of a SICAV incorporated as a partnership limited by shares with a share capital, owns a category of shares that qualify as “Ordinary Shares” as defined in the SICAV articles of association. The shares are registered in a register of shareholders kept at the Company registered office. The shares are issued, paid up and allocated to the Investor by registration in the shares register at each capital call made by the SICAV compartment. The Investor must respond to the capital call by payment of the amount requested as set-forth in the legal documentation of the SICAV compartment.

The shares redeemed by the concerned SICAV compartment are cancelled and the relevant amount of cash is distributed to the Shareholder. Every share entitles their holders to participate equally and in proportion with their commitment in the SICAV compartment in any profits, liquidation proceeds and distributions attributable to the relevant SICAV compartment.
