InNova Global Fund, LLC (“InNova”) provides general information regarding U.S. information reporting based on the terms and disclosures set forth in the applicable Private Placement Memorandum (“PPM”) and the related subscription/participation documentation. Consistent with the PPM, and due to limitations on participant access to funds during the applicable holding period (including any 13-month holding/lockup period), InNova’s Form 1099-INT reporting (if issued) is generally based on interest actually distributed/paid to a participant during the relevant calendar year, rather than amounts that may be reflected as estimated, projected, or otherwise displayed for informational purposes.
Participants should refer to the most current PPM for InNova’s tax reporting and information return practices, including any discussion of Forms 1099 and related reporting, and should consult their own tax advisor regarding the application of U.S. federal, state, and local tax rules to their individual circumstances.
