Article 5 1.

Managers of qualifying venture capital funds shall ensure that, when acquiring assets other than qualifying investments, no more than 30 % of the fund’s aggregate capital contributions and uncalled committed capital is used for the acquisition of such assets. The 30 % threshold shall be calculated on the basis of amounts investible after the deduction of all relevant costs. Holdings in cash and cash equivalents shall not be taken into account for calculating that threshold as cash and cash equivalents are not to be considered as investments.
