NOTICES
Not an Offer or Solicitation
This press release has been prepared and is being furnished solely for informational purposes, and the views and statements expressed herein are those solely of A. Walker & Co. In particular, this press release is not, and is not intended to be, an offer to sell, or a solicitation of an offer to purchase, any securities or any other interest in A. Walker & Co., REOP I, or in any fund, account, or other investment product or assets managed by A. Walker & Co., or to offer any services. Any such offering and sale would be made only on the basis of certain transaction documents and, as the case may be, a final private placement memorandum and related governing and subscription documents (together, “transaction documents”) pertaining to such offering and sale and is qualified in all respects and in its entirety by any such final transaction documents.
Valuation
The current values set forth herein include unrealized investments and are based on AWC’s estimates of fair value of such investments, and they have not been audited or independently verified by any third party. In many circumstances, a different valuation methodology would result in a different valuation and, in certain circumstances, this difference could be material. An estimate of fair value depends on subjective inputs and assumptions. Although AWC believes its fair value methodologies are appropriate, ultimate realization of the value of an asset depends to a great extent on economic and other conditions beyond the control of AWC. Actual realized returns on unrealized investments will depend on, among other factors, future operating results, the value of the assets and market conditions at the time of disposition, any related transaction costs and the timing and manner of sale or repayment, all of which may differ from the assumptions and circumstances on which the valuations used in the performance data contained herein are based. Accordingly, due to various risks, uncertainties and changes beyond the control of AWC, the actual realized returns on these unrealized investments may differ materially from the returns indicated herein and there can be no assurance that these values will ultimately be realized upon disposition of investments.

Certain information contained herein constitutes “forward‐looking statements,” which can be identified by use of forward‐looking terminology such as “may,” “will,” “should,” “expect,” “attempt,” “anticipate,” “project,” “estimate,” “intend,” “seek,” “target,” “continue,” or “believe,” or the negatives thereof or other variations thereon or comparable terminology. Due to the various risks and uncertainties, actual events or results in the actual performance of investments may differ materially from those reflected or contemplated in such forward‐looking statements.
