<strong>DIVA</strong> <strong>SYNERGY</strong> <strong>LIMITED</strong>NET ASSET VALUEThe Administrator will determine the Net Asset Value of the Class ‘A’ Participating Shares on theclose of business on the last day of each calendar month (the “Valuation Day”) following the firstclosing date of this Offering, unless such a day is not a Business Day, in which case thedetermination will be made on the nearest preceding Business Day. For all purposes of the Fund,including the determination of subscription and redemption prices, the Net Asset Value per Class‘A’ Participating Share on any Valuation Day shall be determined in accordance withInternational Accounting Standards and shall take into account the following:(i)(ii)(iii)(iv)(v)the value of its portfolio securities, namely the value of the Fund’s accounts withits Futures Clearer which consists of cash balances and any open positions valuedat market on closing and other assets, determined by the settlement price of allsecurities on the Valuation Day;the value of its liabilities, including all accrued expenses, brokerage commissionsand interest expense;both realized capital gains and losses;accrual for the Investment Manager's compensation and other accruing expenses,(see "Fees & Expenses");Cash in the Fund’s bank and futures clearer accountsIn valuing the Fund’s assets for this purpose, each investment will be valued at the last reportedclosing price on the representative exchange on which it is traded. If a closing price is notavailable on such date, however, the value of such investments will be the last reported bidquotation therefore on such date, or if a bid quotation is not available for such date, at the mostrecent bid quotation available for such investments.The Net Asset Value per Class ‘A’ Share shall be calculated by dividing (a) the total asset valueof the Class ‘A’ Shares less the total liability value of the Class ‘A’ Shares by (b) the total numberof Class ‘A’ Shares of the Fund outstanding.If such quotations are not readily available or if the Directors determine that they do not fairlyrepresent the value of an investment, an investment will be valued using methods determined ingood faith by the Directors, after consultation with the Investment Manager. Certain short-terminvestments having a maturity of 90 days or less, which the Directors deems to be cashequivalents, will be valued at cost, plus accrued interest or discount earned.The books of the Class ‘A’ Shares will be expressed in €uro, as is the main trading pool of theFund’s investments.The Class ‘A’ Shares shall bear their own profits, gains, losses, costs, income and expenditure tothe extent specifically attributable to the Class ‘A’ Shares. In particular, the profits, gains, losses,costs, income and expenditure associated with (a) any management fee, incentive fee,establishment costs, brokerage fees and other operating expenses specifically attributable to theClass ‘A’ Shares, (b) hedging the Class ‘A’ Shares against movements will be reflected in the NetAsset Value per share of the Class ‘A’ Participating Share.In calculating the Net Asset Value for futures contracts and exchange-traded options theAdministrator relies upon the quotations provided by the relevant broker.

<strong>DIVA</strong> <strong>SYNERGY</strong> <strong>LIMITED</strong>b) The Net Asset Value of the Second Series of Shares will have increased from€1,000 to €1,100 - therefore the NAV per Share will be €1,080 net of IncentiveFee accrual. (Net €20 Incentive Fee – 20% of €100)5. At the beginning of the third month a new subscriber invests € lm and receives 1,000“Third” Series Shares at €1,000 per Share.6. Let us assume that the NAV of the Class declines by 2% during the third month. Thus:a) The gross NAV of the Lead Series of Shares will have fallen from €1,210 to€1,185.80. Therefore no incentive fee is payable as the last HWM was €1,210.b) The gross NAV per Share of the Second Series will be €1,078. Therefore noincentive fee is payable as the last HWM was €1,100.c) The NAV of the Third Series of Shares will have declined from €1,000 to €980,which will be the NAV per Share, because there will be no Incentive Fee payable.<strong>Co</strong>nsolidationBecause both the Lead Series and the Second Series of Shares ended the quarterly period withnew High Water Marks upon which Incentive Fees were paid, these Shares will be consolidated.Therefore:1. The Second Series of Shares will be redeemed at €1,078, which will result in totalredemption proceeds of €1,078.2. This sum will now be reinvested into the Lead Series of Shares at the Net Asset Value perShare of the Lead Series, which will now be € 1185.80 As a result, the Shareholder, whooriginally had held the Second Series of Shares, will receive 909.09 Shares of the LeadSeries (€1,078 divided by €1,185.80).3. Because the Third Series of Shares did not reach a new High Water Mark, they willremain in existence and will not be consolidated until the end of a subsequent quarterlyperiod, in which they do achieve a new High Water Mark.4. New Shareholders subscribing at the beginning of the new quarter will subscribe for LeadSeries Shares at €1,185.80 per Share.5. It should be noted that, in the unlikely event that, the NAV of a new Series of Shares hasnot changed, at the quarter date, from the issue price of €1,000 per Share, that Series ofShares will be nevertheless consolidated into the Lead Series, providing that Lead Serieshas achieved a new High Water Mark and is not suffering from a carried forward lossfrom a previous quarter.In the event of termination of the Investment Management Agreement, the Management Fee andthe Incentive Fee shall be computed by treating the effective date of termination as if it were thelast day of the applicable payment period for each fee.Under the terms of the Investment Management Agreement, the services of the InvestmentManager to the Fund are not deemed to be exclusive and the Investment Manager is free to rendersimilar services to others.The Investment Manager may aggregate transactions for the Fund with transactions of the sameinstrument for other clients of the Investment Manager.<strong>DIVA</strong> <strong>SYNERGY</strong> – CLASS A (€uro)23
