Performance Fee In addition to the monthly Management Fee, in return for the performance of its duties as Investment Manager of the Portfolio, the Investment Manager is entitled to be paid and the Company must pay to the Investment Manager a performance fee of 20% (plus GST) of the amount (if any) by which the NAV of the Portfolio before all taxes on the last day of the current Performance Calculation Period exceeds the High Watermark (as defined in the Investment Management Agreement) (Performance Fee). As a worked example, assuming a Performance Calculation Period of 1 January 2016 to 30 June 2016, an initial NAV of the Portfolio before all taxes of $100,000,000, and a NAV of the Portfolio before all taxes at the end of the Performance Calculation Period 6.0% higher than at the beginning (representing an annualised increase of approximately 12.1%) of $106,000,000: (a) there would be a Performance Fee payable as the closing NAV of the Portfolio before all taxes is above the High Watermark, being the initial NAV of the Portfolio before all taxes, with an aggregate outperformance of approximately $6,000,000; and (b) in this instance, there would be an estimated Performance Fee payable at 20.0% of this amount equating to $1,200,000 (plus GST) for the 6 month Performance Calculation Period; and (c) the closing High Watermark to be carried forward for future Performance Calculation Periods is the closing NAV of the Portfolio before all taxes of $106,000,000 for this worked example. As a worked example, assuming a Performance Calculation Period of 1 January 2016 to 30 June 2016, an initial NAV of the Portfolio before all taxes of $100,000,000, and a NAV of the Portfolio before all taxes at the end of the Performance Calculation Period 6.0% lower than at the beginning (representing an annualised decrease of approximately 12.1%) of $94,000,000: (a) there would be no Performance Fee payable as the closing NAV of the Portfolio before all taxes is below the High Watermark, being the initial NAV of the Portfolio before all taxes, with an aggregate underperformance of approximately $6,000,000; and (b) the closing High Watermark to be carried forward for future Performance Calculation Periods is the initial NAV of the Portfolio before all taxes of $100,000,000 for this worked example.
