Item 1. SUMMARY TERM SHEET.

· Hamilton Lane Private Assets Fund (the "Fund") is offering to purchase Shares (as defined
below) in the Fund (the "Offer") in an amount up to approximately 5.00% of the net assets of the Fund (or approximately $211,453,274,
or approximately 11,538,063 shares outstanding as of June 30, 2025) from shareholders of the Fund (the "Shareholders") at
their net asset value (that is, the value of the Fund's total assets minus its total liabilities, including accrued fees and expenses,
multiplied by the proportionate interest in the Fund a Shareholder desires to tender, after giving effect to all allocations), calculated
as of the Valuation Date (as defined below). As used in this Schedule TO, the term "Share" or "Shares" refers
to the shares of beneficial interest in the Fund or fractions thereof that constitute three of the classes offered by the Fund designated
as Class D ("Class D Shares"), Class I ("Class I Shares") and Class R ("Class R Shares") that are
tendered by Shareholders pursuant to the Offer, and includes all or some of a Shareholder's Shares as the context requires. As of
the close of business on June 30, 2025, there was approximately $87,550,779 (or 4,768,151 Shares), $2,531,363,660 (or 136,329,961 Shares)
and $1,610,151,035 (or 89,663,145 Shares) outstanding capital of the Fund held in Class D Shares, Class I Shares and Class R Shares, respectively.
The net asset value per Class D Share, Class I Share and Class R Share as of the close of business on June 30, 2025 was $18.36, $18.57
and $17.96, respectively. Shareholders that desire to tender Shares for purchase must do so by 11:59 p.m., Eastern Time on August 29,
2025 (the "Initial Notice Due Date"), subject to any extension of the Offer made in the absolute discretion of the Fund's
board of trustees (the "Board of Trustees"). The later of the Initial Notice Due Date or the latest time and date that the Fund
designates as the deadline and expiration date for Shareholders to tender Shares for purchase is called the "Notice Due Date,"
and is the date upon which the Offer expires. The net asset value per Share will be calculated for this purpose as of September 30, 2025,
or at a later date determined by the Fund if the Offer is extended (in each case, the "Valuation Date").

· The Fund reserves the right to adjust the Valuation Date to correspond with any extension of the Offer.

· A Shareholder may tender all of its Shares or some of
 its Shares. A 2.00% early repurchase fee will be charged by the Fund with respect to any repurchase of Shares from a Shareholder at
 any time prior to the day immediately preceding the one-year anniversary of the Shareholder's purchase of the Shares. Shares
 tendered for repurchase will be treated as having been repurchased on a "first in-first out" basis. An early repurchase
 fee payable by a Shareholder may be waived by the Fund in circumstances where the Board determines that doing so is in the best
 interests of the Fund. A Shareholder who tenders some but not all of its Shares for repurchase will be required to maintain a
 minimum account balance of $10,000 worth of Shares. Such minimum ownership requirement may be waived by the Board, in its sole
 discretion. The Fund reserves the right to reduce the amount to be repurchased from a Shareholder so that the required capital
 balance is maintained. The Fund may also repurchase all of such Shareholder's Shares in the Fund. The Fund or Hamilton Lane
 Advisors, L.L.C. (the "Adviser") may waive the minimum account balance from time to time. See Item 4(a)(1)(ii).

· Shares will be repurchased on a "first in-first
 out" basis (i.e., the portion of the Shares repurchased will be deemed to have been taken from the earliest Shares acquired by
 such Shareholder).

· The Offer is being made to all Shareholders of the Fund and is not conditioned on any minimum number of
Shares being tendered. If the Fund accepts the tender of the Shareholder's Shares, the Fund will make payment for Shares it purchases
from one or more of the following sources: cash on hand, proceeds from the sale of portfolio holdings, or borrowings. The purchase amount
will be paid entirely in cash. See Item 4(a)(1)(ii).

· In the event a repurchase offer is oversubscribed and in accordance
with rules promulgated by the Securities Exchange Commission ("SEC"), the Fund may accept for purchase additional Shares representing
up to 2.0% of the aggregate net asset value ("NAV") of its outstanding Shares without amending or extending the Offer. However, the decision
whether to accept for purchase additional outstanding shares is solely in the discretion of the Fund and its Board of Trustees, and there
is no guarantee that the Fund and Board of Trustees will determine to accept any additional shares for purchase. If the Offer is oversubscribed
by Shareholders, the Fund will repurchase only a pro rata portion of the Shares tendered by each Shareholder.

· Shareholders that desire to tender Shares for purchase must do so by 11:59 p.m., Eastern Time, on August
29, 2025 (or if the Offer is extended, by any later Notice Due Date), at which time the Offer is scheduled to expire. Until the Notice
Due Date, Shareholders have the right to withdraw any tenders of their Shares. Shares withdrawn may be re-tendered, however, provided
that such tenders are made before the Notice Due Date by following the tender procedures described herein. If the Fund has not yet accepted
a Shareholder's tender of Shares on or prior to September 26, 2025 (*i.e.*, the date 40 business days from the commencement
of the Offer), a Shareholder will also have the right to withdraw its tender of its Shares after such date. See Item 4(a)(1)(vi).

· If a Shareholder would like the Fund to purchase all or some of its Shares, it should complete, sign and
either (i) mail or otherwise deliver a Letter of Transmittal to Hamilton Lane Private Assets Fund, c/o UMB Fund Services, Inc. at
235 W. Galena Street, Milwaukee, Wisconsin 53212, Attention: Tender Offer Administrator; or (ii) fax it to UMBFS at (816) 860-3140,
Attention: Tender Offer Administrator, or (iii) email it to AutoAIProcessing@umb.com (if by email please only submit one Tender Offer
per email, emails are automatically encrypted, any additional encryption would prevent acceptance), so that it is received before 11:59
p.m., Eastern Time, on August 29, 2025. The value of the Shares may change between June 30, 2025 (the date as of which the net asset value
information reported herein was calculated) and the Valuation Date, the date as of which the value of the Shares being purchased will
be determined. See Item 4(a)(1)(ii). Shareholders desiring to obtain the estimated net asset value of their Shares, which the Fund will calculate
from time to time based upon the information the Fund receives from the portfolio managers of the investment funds in which it invests,
may contact UMBFS, at (888) 882-8212 or at the address listed on the first page of the Letter of Transmittal, Monday through Friday, except
holidays, during normal business hours of 8:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. (Eastern Time).

Please note that just as each Shareholder has the right to withdraw its tender prior to the Notice Due Date, the Fund may suspend, postpone or terminate such offer in certain circumstances upon the determination of a majority of the Board of Trustees that such suspension, postponement or termination is advisable for the Fund and its Shareholders, including, without limitation, circumstances as a result of which it is not reasonably practicable for the Fund to dispose of its investments or to determine its net asset value, and other unusual circumstances. Although the Offer is scheduled to expire on August 29, 2025, a Shareholder that tenders all of its Shares will remain a Shareholder of the Fund through September 30, 2025, or a later date determined by the Fund if the Offer is extended (in each case, the "Repurchase Date"), notwithstanding the Fund's acceptance of the Shareholder's Shares for purchase.

Item 4. TERMS OF THE TENDER OFFER.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) (1) Material terms of the Offer

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) Subject to the conditions set out in the Offer, the Fund will purchase Shares in an amount up to approximately 5.00% of the net assets of the Fund that are tendered by Shareholders by 11:59 p.m., Eastern Time, on August 29, 2025 (or if the Offer is extended, by any later Notice Due Date) and not withdrawn as described in Item 4(a)(1)(vi).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii) The value of the Shares tendered to the Fund for purchase will be the net asset value as of the close of business on September 30, 2025, or, if the Offer is extended, as of any later Valuation Date, after the reduction for all fees (including the early repurchase fee), any required tax withholding and other liabilities of the Fund to the extent accrued or otherwise attributable to the Shares being repurchased. See Item 4(a)(1)(v) below.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iii) A Shareholder may tender all or some of its Shares. A Shareholder who tenders some but not all of its Shares for repurchase will be required to maintain a minimum account balance of $10,000 worth of Shares. Such minimum ownership requirement may be waived by the Board of Trustees, in its sole discretion. The Fund reserves the right to reduce the amount to be repurchased from a Shareholder so that the required capital balance is maintained. Once the Fund accepts the tender of the Shareholder's Shares has been accepted for payment, the Fund will repurchase the Shares and remit the repurchase price to Shareholders, less any applicable early repurchase fee, within 8 business days of the Valuation Date in all instances. The purchase amount will be paid entirely in cash. The Offer is scheduled to expire at 11:59 p.m., Eastern Time, on August 29, 2025 unless extended. Shareholders that desire to tender Shares for purchase must do so by that time, unless the Offer is extended in the absolute discretion of the Board of Trustees.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iv) Not applicable.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(v) At the absolute discretion of the Board of Trustees, the Fund reserves the right, at any time and from time to time, to extend the period of time during which the Offer is open by notifying Shareholders of such extension. If the Fund elects to extend the tender period, the net asset value of the Shares tendered for purchase will be determined at the close of business on a day determined by the Fund and notified to the Shareholders. During any such extension, all Shares previously tendered and not withdrawn will remain subject to the Offer. At the absolute discretion of the Board of Trustees, the Fund also reserves the right, at any time and from time to time, up to and including the Notice Due Date, to: (a) cancel the Offer in the circumstances set out in Section 8 of the Offer to Purchase dated August 1, 2025 , and, in the event of such cancellation, not to purchase or pay for any Shares tendered pursuant to the Offer; (b) amend the Offer; and (c) postpone the acceptance of Shares. If the Fund determines to amend the Offer or to postpone the acceptance of Shares tendered, it will, to the extent necessary, extend the period of time during which the Offer is open as provided above and will promptly notify the Shareholders.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(vi) Until the Notice Due Date, Shareholders have the right to withdraw any tenders of their Shares. Shares withdrawn may be re-tendered, however, provided that such tenders are made before 11:59 p.m., Eastern Time, August 29, 2025 (or, if the Offer is extended, by any later Notice Due Date) by following the tender procedures described herein. Pursuant to Rule 13e-4(f)(2)(ii) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), if the Fund has not yet accepted a Shareholder's tender of Shares on or prior to September 26, 2025 (*i.e.*, the date 40 business days from the commencement of the Offer), a Shareholder will also have the right to withdraw its tender of its Shares after such date.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(vii) Shareholders wishing to tender Shares pursuant to the Offer should send or deliver a completed and executed Letter of Transmittal to UMBFS to the attention of the Tender Offer Administrator, at the address set out on the first page of the Letter of Transmittal, or fax a completed and executed Letter of Transmittal to UMBFS, also to the attention of the Tender Offer Administrator, at the fax number set out on the first page of the Letter of Transmittal, or email a completed and executed Letter of Transmittal to UMBFS, also to the attention of the Tender Offer Administrator, at the email set out on the first page of the Letter of Transmittal. The completed and executed Letter of Transmittal must be received by UMBFS, either by mail, by fax or by email no later than 11:59 p.m., Eastern Time, on August 29, 2025 (or if the Offer is extended, by any later Notice Due Date). The Fund recommends that all documents be submitted to UMBFS by certified mail, return receipt requested, by facsimile transmission, or by email.

Any Shareholder tendering Shares pursuant to the Offer may withdraw its tender as described above in Item 4(a)(1)(vi). To be effective, any notice of withdrawal must be timely received by UMBFS at the address, fax number or email address set out on the first page of the Letter of Transmittal. A tender of Shares properly withdrawn shall not thereafter be deemed to be tendered for purposes of the Offer. Shares withdrawn may be re-tendered, however, provided that such tenders are made before the Notice Due Date by following the tender procedures described above.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(viii) For purposes of the Offer, the Fund will be deemed to have accepted (and thereby purchased) Shares that are tendered if and when it gives written notice to the tendering Shareholder of its election to purchase such Shares.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ix) In the event a repurchase offer is oversubscribed and in accordance with rules promulgated by the SEC, the Fund may accept for purchase additional Shares representing up to 2.00% of the aggregate NAV of its outstanding Shares without amending or extending the repurchase offer. However, the decision whether to accept for purchase additional outstanding Shares is solely in the discretion of the Fund and its Board of Trustees, and there is no guarantee that the Fund and Board of Trustees will determine to accept any additional shares for purchase. If the Offer is oversubscribed by Shareholders, the Fund will repurchase only a pro rata portion of the Shares tendered by each Shareholder.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(x) The purchase of Shares pursuant to the Offer will have the effect of increasing the proportionate interest in the Fund of Shareholders that do not tender Shares. Shareholders that retain their Shares may be subject to increased risks that may possibly result from the reduction in the Fund's aggregate assets resulting from payment for the Shares tendered. One such risk is that, due to a reduction in the aggregate assets of the Fund, Shareholders that do not tender Shares may bear higher costs to the extent that certain expenses borne by the Fund are relatively fixed and may not decrease if assets decline. These effects may be reduced or eliminated to the extent that additional subscriptions for Shares are made by new and existing Shareholders from time to time. Payment for Shares purchased pursuant to the Offer could result in the Adviser being required to raise cash to accommodate the tender by liquidating portfolio holdings in the Fund earlier than the Adviser would otherwise have caused these holdings to be liquidated, potentially resulting in losses or increased operating expenses for the Fund.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(xi) Not applicable.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(xii) The following discussion is a general summary of the federal income tax consequences of the purchase of Shares by the Fund for cash pursuant to the Offer. Shareholders should consult their own tax advisers for a complete description of the tax consequences to them of a purchase of their Shares by the Fund pursuant to the Offer.

A Shareholder will generally recognize a taxable gain or loss on a sale of their Shares in an amount equal to the difference between their tax basis in the Shares and the amount they receive for them. Generally, this gain or loss will be long-term or short-term depending on whether the holding period exceeds twelve months. Additionally, any loss realized on a disposition of Shares of the Fund may be disallowed under "wash sale" rules to the extent the Shares disposed of are replaced with other Shares of the Fund within a period of 61 days beginning 30 days before and ending 30 days after the Shares are disposed of, such as pursuant to a dividend reinvestment in Shares of the Fund. If disallowed, the loss will be reflected in an upward adjustment to the basis of the Shares acquired.

Pursuant to the regulations directed at tax shelter activity, taxpayers are required to disclose to the Internal Revenue Service certain information on Form 8886 if they participate in a "reportable transaction." A transaction may be a "reportable transaction" based upon any of several indicia with respect to a Shareholder, including the recognition of a loss in excess of certain thresholds (for individuals, $2 million in one year or $4 million in any combination of years). Shareholders should consult their own tax advisers concerning any possible disclosure obligation with respect to their investment in Shares.

(a)(2) Not applicable.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) Any Shares to be purchased from any officer, trustee or affiliate of the Fund will be on the same terms and conditions as any other purchase of Shares.

Item 5. PAST CONTRACTS, TRANSACTIONS, NEGOTIATIONS AND AGREEMENTS.

The Fund's registration statement on Form N-2, filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on February 14, 2020 (as it may be amended, modified or otherwise supplemented from time to time, the "Registration Statement"), which was provided to each Shareholder in advance of subscribing for Shares, and the Agreement and Declaration of Trust provide that the Board of Trustees has the discretion to determine whether the Fund will purchase Shares from Shareholders from time to time pursuant to written tenders. The Registration Statement also states that the Adviser anticipates recommending to the Fund's Board of Trustees that the Fund offer to repurchase interests from its Shareholders quarterly each year. The Fund commenced operations immediately following the close of business on December 31, 2020 and has previously offered to repurchase Shares from Shareholders pursuant to written tenders on a quarterly basis beginning with the quarter ended June 30, 2021.

The Fund is not aware of any contract, arrangement, understanding or relationship relating, directly or indirectly, to the Offer (whether or not legally enforceable) between: (i) the Fund, the Adviser or members of the Board of Trustees or any person controlling the Fund, the Adviser or the Board of Trustees; and (ii) any other person, with respect to the Shares.

Item 6. PURPOSES OF THIS TENDER OFFER AND PLANS OR PROPOSALS.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) The purpose of the Offer is to provide liquidity to Shareholders, as contemplated by and in accordance with the procedures set out in the Registration Statement and the Agreement and Declaration of Trust.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) Shares that are tendered to the Fund in connection with the Offer, if accepted for repurchase, will be repurchased, resulting in an increase in the expense ratios of remaining Shares in the Fund (assuming no further issuances of Shares). The Fund currently expects that it will accept subscriptions for Shares as of the first day of each month, but is under no obligation to do so, and may do so more frequently as determined by the Board of Trustees.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) None of the Fund, the Adviser or the Board of Trustees or any person controlling the Fund, the Adviser or the Board of Trustees has any plans or proposals that relate to or would result in: (1) an extraordinary transaction, such as a merger, reorganization or liquidation, involving the Fund or any of its subsidiaries; (2) any purchase, sale or transfer of a material amount of assets of the Fund or any of its subsidiaries; (3) any material change in the present distribution policy or indebtedness or capitalization of the Fund; (4) any change in the present Board of Trustees or in the management of the Fund including, but not limited to, any plans or proposals to change the number or the term of members of the Board of Trustees, or to fill any existing vacancy on the Board of Trustees or to change any material term of the employment contract of any executive officer; (5) any other material change in the Fund's corporate structure or business, including any plans or proposals to make any changes in its investment policies, for which a vote would be required by Section 13 of the 1940 Act; (6) the acquisition by any person of additional Shares (other than the Fund's intention to accept subscriptions for Shares on the first day of each month and from time to time in the discretion of the Board of Trustees), or the disposition of Shares (other than through periodic purchase offers, including the Offer); or (7) any changes in the Agreement and Declaration of Trust or other governing instruments or other actions that could impede the acquisition of control of the Fund. Because Shares are not traded in any market, Subsections (6), (7) and (8) of Regulation M-A ss. 229.1006(c) are not applicable to the Fund.

Item 7. SOURCE AND AMOUNT OF FUNDS OR OTHER CONSIDERATION.

Depending on the dollar amount of Shares tendered and prevailing general economic and market conditions, the Fund, in its sole discretion, may decide to seek to borrow money to fund all or a portion of the purchase amount for Shares, subject to compliance with applicable law. The Fund expects that the repayment of any amounts borrowed will be financed from additional funds contributed to the Fund by existing or new Shareholders.

OFFER TO PURCHASE

HAMILTON LANE PRIVATE ASSETS FUND

c/o UMB Fund Services, Inc.

235 West Galena Street

Milwaukee, Wisconsin 53212

OFFER TO PURCHASE SHARES<br> DATED AUGUST 1, 2025

LETTERS OF TRANSMITTAL MUST BE<br> RECEIVED BY UMB FUND SERVICES, INC.

BY AUGUST 29, 2025.

THE OFFER AND WITHDRAWAL RIGHTS WILL EXPIRE AT<br> 11:59 P.M., EASTERN TIME, ON AUGUST 29, 2025,<br> UNLESS THE OFFER IS EXTENDED

To the Shareholders of<br> Hamilton Lane Private Assets Fund:

Hamilton Lane Private Assets Fund, a closed-end, non-diversified management investment company organized as a Delaware statutory trust (the "Fund"), is offering to purchase for cash on the terms and conditions set out in this offer to purchase (this "Offer to Purchase") and the related Letter of Transmittal (which, together with this Offer to Purchase, constitutes the "Offer") an amount of Shares (as defined below), including fractions thereof, with an aggregate net asset value up to approximately 5.00% of the net assets of the Fund. The Fund's investment objective is to generate capital appreciation over the medium- and long-term through investments in private assets globally. The Advisor of the Fund is Hamilton Lane Advisors, L.L.C. (the "Adviser"). The Offer is being made pursuant to tenders by shareholders of the Fund ("Shareholders") at a price equal to the net asset value of the tendered Shares as of September 30, 2025 (or at a later date determined by the Fund if the Offer is extended) (in each case, the "Valuation Date"), less any early repurchase fee. As used in the Offer, the term "Share" or "Shares" refers to the shares of beneficial interests in the Fund representing beneficial Shares in the Fund and includes all or any portion of a Shareholder's Shares, including fractions thereof, as the context requires that constitute three of the classes offered by the Fund designated as Class D, Class I and Class R that are tendered by Shareholders pursuant to the Offer. Shareholders that desire to tender Shares for purchase must do so by 11:59 p.m., Eastern Time on August 29, 2025 (the "Initial Notice Due Date"), subject to any extension of the Offer made in the absolute discretion of the Fund's Board of Trustees. The later of the Initial Notice Due Date or the latest time and date that the Fund designates as the deadline for Shareholders to tender Shares for purchase is called the "Notice Due Date" and is the date upon which the Offer expires. If the Fund elects to extend the tender period, the net asset value of the Shares tendered for purchase will be determined at the close of business on a day determined by the Fund and notified to the Shareholders. The Offer is being made to all Shareholders and is not conditioned on any minimum amount of Shares being tendered, but is subject to certain conditions described below. Shares are not traded on any established trading market and are subject to strict restrictions on transferability pursuant to the Fund's Amended and Restated Agreement and Declaration and Trust dated December 14, 2020 (as it may be amended from time to time, the "Agreement and Declaration of Trust").

Shareholders should realize that the value of the Shares tendered in the Offer likely will change between June 30, 2025 (the date as of which the net asset value information reported herein was calculated) and the Valuation Date when the value of the Shares tendered to the Fund for purchase will be determined. In addition, shareholders that tender all or a portion of their Shares prior to holding such Shares for at least one year will be subject to an early repurchase fee due to the Fund equal to 2.0% of the amount requested to be purchased, to be netted against withdrawal proceeds. In determining whether the repurchase of Shares is subject to an early repurchase fee, the Fund will repurchase those Shares held the longest first. Shareholders tendering their Shares should also note that they will remain Shareholders in the Fund, with respect to the Shares tendered and accepted for purchase by the Fund, through September 30, 2025, or a later date determined by the Fund if the Offer is extended (in each case, the "Repurchase Date"). Any tendering Shareholders that wish to obtain the estimated net asset value of their Shares should contact the Tender Offer Administrator at UMB Fund Services, Inc., the Fund's Administrator, at (888) 882-8212 or at Hamilton Lane Private Assets Fund, c/o UMB Fund Services, Inc. at 235 W. Galena Street, Milwaukee, Wisconsin 53212, Attention: Tender Offer Administrator, Monday through Friday, except holidays, during normal business hours of 8:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. (Eastern Time).

Shareholders desiring to tender all or some of their Shares in accordance with the terms of the Offer should complete and sign the enclosed Letter of Transmittal and send or deliver it to UMB Fund Services, Inc. in the manner set out below.

**Important**

**None of the Fund, the Adviser or the Fund's Board of Trustees makes any recommendation to any Shareholder whether to tender or refrain from tendering Shares. Shareholders must make their own decisions whether to tender Shares, and, if they choose to do so, the amount of their Shares to tender.**

**Because each Shareholder's investment decision is a personal one, based on financial circumstances, no person has been authorized to make any recommendation on behalf of the Fund as to whether Shareholders should tender Shares pursuant to the Offer. No person has been authorized to give any information or to make any representations in connection with the Offer other than those contained herein or in the Letter of Transmittal. If given or made, such recommendation and such information and representations must not be relied on as having been authorized by the Fund, the Adviser, or the Fund's Board of Trustees.**

**This transaction has not been approved or disapproved by the Securities and Exchange Commission nor has the Securities and Exchange Commission or any state securities commission passed on the fairness or merits of such transaction or on the accuracy or adequacy of the information contained in this document. Any representation to the contrary is unlawful.**

(iii) 1. SUMMARY TERM SHEET

This Summary Term Sheet highlights certain information concerning the Offer. To understand the Offer fully and for a more complete discussion of the terms and conditions of the Offer, please read carefully this entire Offer to Purchase and the related Letter of Transmittal. Section references are to this Offer to Purchase.

· The Fund (referred to as "we", "us" or the "Fund" in this Summary
Term Sheet) is offering to purchase Shares in an amount up to approximately 5.00% of the net assets of the Fund (or approximately $211,453,274,
or approximately 11,538,063 shares outstanding as of June 30, 2025). We will purchase your Shares at their net asset value (that is, the
value of the Fund's total assets minus its total liabilities, including accrued fees and expenses, multiplied by the proportionate
number of Shares in the Fund you desire to tender, after giving effect to all allocations) calculated as of the Valuation Date. The net
asset value of Shares will be calculated for this purpose as of June 30, 2025 or, if the Offer is extended, as of any later Valuation
Date. The Offer will remain open until 11:59 p.m., Eastern Time, on August 29, 2025 (or if the Offer is extended, until any later Notice
Due Date), at which time the Offer is scheduled to expire.

· The Fund reserves the right to adjust the Valuation Date to correspond with any extension of the Offer.

· A Shareholder may tender all or some of its Shares. A Shareholder who tenders some but not all of
 its Shares for repurchase will be required to maintain a minimum account balance of $10,000 worth of Shares. Such minimum ownership
 requirement may be waived by the Board of Trustees, in its sole discretion. The Fund reserves the right to reduce the amount to be repurchased
 from a Shareholder so that the required capital balance is maintained. See Section 4.

· The Offer is being made to all Shareholders of the Fund and is not conditioned on any minimum number
 of Shares being tendered. Once the tender of the Shareholder's Shares has been accepted for payment, the Fund will repurchase
 the Shares and remit the repurchase price to Shareholders, less any applicable early repurchase fee, within 8 business days of the
 Valuation Date in all instances. The Fund will make payment for Shares it purchases from one or more of the following sources: cash
 on hand, proceeds from the sale of portfolio holdings, or borrowings. The purchase amount will be paid entirely in cash. See Section

· If we accept the tender of your Shares, we will pay you the proceeds from one or more of the following
sources: cash on hand, proceeds from the sale of portfolio holdings or borrowings. The purchase amount will be paid entirely in cash.
See Section 7.

● In the event a repurchase offer is oversubscribed and in accordance with rules promulgated by the Securities Exchange Commission ("SEC"), the Fund may accept for purchase additional Shares representing up to 2.0% of the aggregate net asset value ("NAV") of its outstanding Shares without amending or extending the Offer. However, the decision whether to accept for purchase additional outstanding shares is solely in the discretion of the Fund and its Board of Trustees, and there is no guarantee that the Fund and Board of Trustees will determine to accept any additional shares for purchase. If the Offer is oversubscribed by Shareholders, the Fund will repurchase only a pro rata portion of the Shares tendered by each Shareholder.

· If you desire to tender Shares for purchase, you must do so by 11:59 p.m., Eastern Time, on August 29,
2025 (or if the Offer is extended, by any later Notice Due Date), at which time the Offer is scheduled to expire. Until that time, you
have the right to change your mind and withdraw any tenders of your Shares. Shares withdrawn may be re-tendered, however, provided that
such tenders are made before the Notice Due Date by following the tender procedures described herein. If the Fund has not yet accepted
your tender of Shares on or prior to September 26, 2025 (*i.e.*, the date 40 business days from the commencement of the Offer), you
will also have the right to withdraw the tender of your Shares after such date. See Section 6.

· If you would like us to purchase your Shares, you should complete, sign and either (i) mail or otherwise
deliver the Letter of Transmittal, enclosed with the Offer, to Hamilton Lane Private Assets Fund, c/o UMB Fund Services, Inc. at 235 W.
Galena Street, Milwaukee, Wisconsin 53212, Attention: Tender Offer Administrator; or (ii) fax it to UMBFS at (816) 860-3140, Attention:
Tender Offer Administrator, or (iii) email it to AutoAIProcessing@umb.com (if by email please only submit one Tender Offer per email,
emails are automatically encrypted, any additional encryption would prevent acceptance) so that it is received before 11:59 p.m., Eastern
Time, on August 29, 2025. The value of your Shares may change between June 30, 2025 (the date as of which the net asset value information
reported herein was calculated) and the Valuation Date when the value of the Shares being purchased will be determined. See Section 3.

· As of June 30, 2025, there was approximately $87,550,779 (or 4,768,151 Shares), $2,531,363,660 (or 136,329,961
Shares) and $1,610,151,035 (or 89,663,145 Shares) outstanding capital of the Fund held in Class D Shares, Class I Shares and Class R Shares,
respectively. The net asset value per Class D Share, Class I Share and Class R Share as of the close of business on June 30, 2025 was
$18.36, $18.57 and $17.96, respectively. If you would like to obtain the estimated net asset value of your Shares, which we calculate
from time to time, based upon the information we receive from the managers of the investment funds in which we invest, you may contact
the Tender Offer Administrator at UMBFS at (888) 882-8212 or at the address listed on the cover page of the Letter of Transmittal, Monday
through Friday, except holidays, during normal business hours of 8:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. (Eastern Time). See Section 3.

2. BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE OF THE OFFER.

The purpose of the Offer is to provide liquidity to the Shareholders that hold Shares in the Fund, as contemplated by and in accordance with the procedures set out in the Fund's registration statement on Form N-2 (as it may be amended, modified or otherwise supplemented from time to time, the "Registration Statement") and the Agreement and Declaration of Trust. The Registration Statement and the Agreement and Declaration of Trust provide that the board of trustees of the Fund (the "Board of Trustees") has the discretion to determine whether the Fund will purchase Shares from time to time from Shareholders pursuant to written tenders. The Registration Statement also states that the Adviser anticipates recommending to the Fund's Board of Trustees that the Fund offer to repurchase interests from its Shareholders quarterly each year. The Fund commenced operations immediately following the close of business on December 31, 2020 and has previously offered to repurchase Shares from Shareholders pursuant to written tenders on a quarterly basis beginning with the quarter ended June 30, 2021.

Because there is no secondary trading market for Shares and transfers of Shares are prohibited without prior approval of the Adviser, the Board of Trustees has determined to cause the Fund to make the Offer, after consideration of various matters, including but not limited to those set out in the Registration Statement and the Agreement and Declaration of Trust. While the Adviser intends to recommend to the Fund's Board of Trustees that the Fund offer to repurchase interests in the Fund on a quarterly basis each year, the Fund's Board of Trustees is under no obligation to follow such recommendations.

The purchase of Shares pursuant to the Offer will have the effect of increasing the proportionate interest in the Fund of Shareholders that do not tender Shares. Shareholders that retain their Shares may be subject to increased risks due to the reduction in the Fund's aggregate assets resulting from payment for the Shares tendered. One such risk is that, due to a reduction in the aggregate assets of the Fund, Shareholders that do not tender Shares may bear higher costs to the extent that certain expenses borne by the Fund are relatively fixed and may not decrease if assets decline. These effects may be reduced or eliminated to the extent that additional subscriptions for Shares are made by new and existing Shareholders from time to time. Payment for Shares purchased pursuant to the Offer could result in the Adviser being required to raise cash to accommodate the tender by liquidating portfolio holdings in the Fund earlier than the Adviser would otherwise have caused these holdings to be liquidated, potentially resulting in losses or increased operating expenses for the Fund.

Shares that are tendered to the Fund in connection with the Offer will be retired, although the Fund may issue Shares from time to time in accordance with the Registration Statement. The Fund currently expects that it will accept subscriptions for Shares as of the first day of each month, but is under no obligation to do so, and may do so more frequently as determined by the Board of Trustees.

The tender of Shares by a Shareholder will not affect the record ownership of such Shareholder for purposes of voting or entitlement to any distributions payable by the Fund unless and until such Shares are purchased. You should also realize that although the Offer is scheduled to expire on August 29, 2025 (unless it is extended), you remain a Shareholder of the Fund with respect to the Shares you tendered that are accepted for purchase by the Fund through the Repurchase Date.

3. OFFER TO PURCHASE AND PRICE.

The Fund will, on the terms and subject to the conditions of the Offer, purchase an amount of Shares up to approximately 5.00% of the net assets of the Fund that are tendered by Shareholders by 11:59 p.m., Eastern Time, on August 29, 2025 (or if the Offer is extended, by any later Notice Due Date), and not withdrawn (as provided in Section 6 below) prior to the Notice Due Date. The Fund reserves the right to extend, amend or cancel the Offer as described in Sections 4 and 8 below. The value of the Shares tendered for purchase will be their value as of September 30, 2025 or, if the Offer is extended, as of any later Valuation Date, payable as set out in Section 7. The determination of the value of Shares as of the Valuation Date is subject to adjustment based upon the results of the next annual audit of the Fund's financial statements.

4. AMOUNT OF TENDER.

Subject to the limitations set out below, a Shareholder may tender all or some of its Shares. Shareholders that tender all or a portion of their Shares prior to holding such Shares for at least one year will be subject to an early repurchase fee due to the Fund equal to 2.0% of the amount requested to be purchased, to be netted against withdrawal proceeds. In determining whether the repurchase of Shares is subject to an early repurchase fee, the Fund will repurchase those Shares held the longest first. If a Shareholder tenders some of its Shares in an amount that would cause the remaining Shares to have a net asset value of less than $10,000, the Board of Trustees reserves the right to reduce the amount to be repurchased from the Shareholder so that the required minimum account balance is maintained or to repurchase the remainder of the Shareholder's Shares in the Fund. The Offer is being made to all Shareholders of the Fund and is not conditioned on any minimum amount of Shares being tendered.

If the amount of Shares that are properly tendered pursuant to the Offer and not withdrawn pursuant to Section 6 below is less than or equal to approximately 5.00% of the net assets of the Fund, the Fund will, on the terms and subject to the conditions of the Offer, purchase all of the Shares so tendered unless the Fund elects to cancel or amend the Offer, or postpone acceptance of tenders made pursuant to the Offer, as provided in Section 8 below. If Shares in excess of 5.00% of the net assets of the Fund are duly tendered to the Fund prior to the Notice Due Date and not withdrawn prior to the Notice Due Date pursuant to Section 6 below, the Fund will , in its sole discretion, either (a) accept the additional Shares permitted to be accepted pursuant to Rule 13e-4(f)(1)(ii) under the Exchange Act; (b) extend the Offer, if necessary, and increase the amount of Shares that the Fund is offering to repurchase to an amount it believes sufficient to accommodate the excess Shares tendered as well as any Shares tendered during the extended Offer; or (c) accept Shares tendered prior to the Notice Due Date and not withdrawn prior to the Notice Due Date for payment on a *pro rata* basis based on the aggregate net asset value of tendered Shares. The Offer may be extended, amended or canceled in other circumstances described in Section 8 below.

5. PROCEDURE FOR TENDERS.

Shareholders wishing to tender Shares pursuant to this Offer to Purchase should send or deliver by August 29, 2025 (or if the Offer is extended, by any later Notice Due Date) a completed and executed Letter of Transmittal to UMBFS, to the attention of the Tender Offer Administrator, at the address set out on the first page of the Letter of Transmittal, or fax a completed and executed Letter of Transmittal to UMBFS, also to the attention of the Tender Offer Administrator, at the fax number set out on the first page of the Letter of Transmittal, or email a completed and executed Letter of Transmittal to UMBFS, also to the attention of the Tender Offer Administrator, at the email set out on the first page of the Letter of Transmittal. The completed and executed Letter of Transmittal must be received by UMBFS, either by mail, fax or by email, no later than 11:59 p.m., Eastern Time, on August 29, 2025 (or if the Offer is extended, no later than any later Notice Due Date).

The Fund recommends that all documents be submitted to UMBFS via certified mail, return receipt requested, or by facsimile transmission. Shareholders wishing to confirm receipt of a Letter of Transmittal may contact UMBFS at the address or telephone number set out on the first page of the Letter of Transmittal. The method of delivery of any documents is at the election and complete risk of the Shareholder tendering Shares, including, but not limited to, the failure of UMBFS to receive any Letter of Transmittal or other document submitted by facsimile transmission. All questions as to the validity, form, eligibility (including time of receipt) and acceptance of tenders will be determined by the Fund, in its sole discretion, and such determination will be final and binding. The Fund reserves the absolute right to reject any or all tenders determined by it not to be in appropriate form or the acceptance of or payment for which would, in the opinion of counsel for the Fund, be unlawful. The Fund also reserves the absolute right to waive any of the conditions of the Offer or any defect in any tender with respect to any particular Shares or any particular Shareholder, and the Fund's interpretation of the terms and conditions of the Offer will be final and binding. Unless waived, any defects or irregularities in connection with tenders must be cured within such time as the Fund will determine. Tenders will not be deemed to have been made until the defects or irregularities have been cured or waived. None of the Fund, the Adviser or the Board of Trustees will be obligated to give notice of any defects or irregularities in tenders, nor will any of them incur any liability for failure to give such notice.

6. WITHDRAWAL RIGHTS.

Until the Notice Due Date, Shareholders have the right to withdraw any tenders of their Shares. Shares withdrawn may be re-tendered, however, provided that such tenders are made before the Notice Date by following the tender procedures described in Section 5. Pursuant to Rule 13e-4(f)(2)(ii) of the Exchange Act, if the Fund has not yet accepted a Shareholder's tender of Shares on or prior to September 26, 2025 (*i.e.*, the date 40 business days from the commencement of the Offer), a Shareholder will also have the right to withdraw its tender of Shares after such date. To be effective, any notice of withdrawal must be timely received by UMBFS at the address, fax number, or email address, set out on the first page of the Letter of Transmittal. All questions as to the form and validity (including time of receipt) of notices of withdrawal will be determined by the Fund, in its sole discretion, and such determination will be final and binding. A tender of Shares properly withdrawn will not thereafter be deemed to be tendered for purposes of the Offer.

7. PURCHASES AND PAYMENT.

For purposes of the Offer, the Fund will be deemed to have accepted Shares that are tendered if and when it gives written notice to the tendering Shareholder of its election to purchase such Shares. As stated in Section 3 above, the amount offered for the Shares tendered by Shareholders will be the value thereof as of September 30, 2025, or if the Offer is extended, as of any later Valuation Date. The value will be determined after all allocations to capital accounts of the Shareholders required to be made by the Registration Statement and the Agreement and Declaration of Trust have been made. The Fund will not pay interest on the purchase amount.

For Shareholders that tender Shares that are accepted for purchase, payment of the purchase amount will be made within 8 business days of the date of determination of the Fund's net asset value as of the valuation date in all instances.

The Fund will make payment for Shares it purchases pursuant to the Offer from one or more of the following sources: cash on hand, proceeds from the sale of portfolio holdings, or borrowings. Upon its acceptance of tendered Shares for repurchase, the Fund will maintain daily, as an entry on its books, a distinct account consisting of cash, liquid securities or, to the extent applicable, interests in investment funds that the Fund (i) has requested to be withdrawn or (ii) is in the process of liquidating (or any combination of them), in an amount equal to the aggregate estimated unpaid dollar amount. None of the Fund, the Board of Trustees, or the Adviser have determined at this time to borrow funds to purchase Shares tendered in connection with the Offer. However, depending on the dollar amount of Shares tendered and prevailing general economic and market conditions, the Fund, in its sole discretion, may decide to fund any portion of the amount offered for the purchase of Shares, subject to compliance with applicable law, through borrowings. The Fund expects that the repayment of any amounts so borrowed will be financed from additional funds contributed to the Fund by existing and/or new Shareholders.

The purchase amount will be paid entirely in cash.

8. CERTAIN CONDITIONS OF THE OFFER.

In the absolute discretion of the Board of Trustees, the Fund reserves the right, at any time and from time to time, to extend the period of time during which the Offer is pending by notifying Trustees of such extension. In the event that the Fund elects to extend the tender period, the net asset value of the Shares tendered for purchase will be determined as of the later Valuation Date. During any such extension, all Shares previously tendered and not withdrawn will remain subject to the Offer. The Fund also reserves the right at any time and from time to time up to and including acceptance of tenders pursuant to the Offer: (a) to cancel the Offer in the circumstances set out in the following paragraph and in the event of such cancellation not to purchase or pay for any Shares tendered pursuant to the Offer; (b) to amend the Offer; and (c) to postpone the acceptance of Shares. If the Fund determines to amend the Offer or to postpone the acceptance of Shares tendered, it will, to the extent necessary, extend the period of time during which the Offer is open as provided above and will promptly notify Shareholders.

The Fund may cancel the Offer, amend the Offer or postpone the acceptance of tenders made pursuant to the Offer if: (a) the Fund would not be able to liquidate portfolio securities in a manner that is orderly and consistent with the Fund's investment objectives and policies in order to purchase Shares tendered pursuant to the Offer; (b) there is, in the judgment of the Board of Trustees, any (i) legal action or proceeding instituted or threatened challenging the Offer or otherwise materially adversely affecting the Fund, (ii) declaration of a banking moratorium by federal or state authorities or any suspension of payment by banks in the United States or New York State that is material to the Fund, (iii) limitation imposed by federal or state authorities on the extension of credit by lending institutions, (iv) suspension of trading on any organized exchange or over-the-counter market where the Fund has a material investment, (v) commencement of war, armed hostilities or other international or national calamity directly or indirectly involving the United States that is material to the Fund, (vi) material decrease in the net asset value of the Fund from the net asset value of the Fund as of the commencement of the Offer, or (vii) other event or condition that would have a material adverse effect on the Fund or its Shareholders if Shares tendered pursuant to the Offer were purchased; (c) the Board of Trustees determines that it is not in the best interest of the Fund to purchase Shares pursuant to the Offer; or (d) for any other periods that the SEC permits by order for the protection of Shareholders.

9. CERTAIN INFORMATION ABOUT THE FUND.

The Fund is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "1940 Act"), as a closed-end, non-diversified management investment company. It is organized as a Delaware statutory trust. Subscriptions for shares of beneficial interest in the Fund were first accepted for investment as of January 1, 2021. The Fund's investment objective is to generate capital appreciation over the medium- and long-term through investments in private assets globally. The principal office of the Fund is located at c/o UMB Fund Services, Inc. at 235 West Galena Street, Milwaukee, Wisconsin, 53212 and the telephone number is (888) 882-8212. Shares are not traded on any established trading market and are subject to strict restrictions on transferability pursuant to the Agreement and Declaration of Trust.

Based on June 30, 2025 values, the Adviser has $39,589,566 in the Fund (approximately 0.95% of all Shares). Based on June 30, 2025 values, Brian Gildea, Co-President, Co-Principal Executive Officer and Trustee of the Fund, has $320,179 in the Fund (approximately 0.01% of all Shares), Andrew Schardt, Co-President, Co-Principal Executive Officer and Trustee of the Fund, has $1,141,256 in the Fund (approximately 0.03% of all Shares) and Timothy S. Galbraith, Independent Trustee (as defined below) of the Fund, has $42,338 (approximately 0.00% of all Shares). As of June 30, 2025, no other officer of the Fund held any Shares. Gail Susan Ball and Jeffrey P. Ladouceur, each of whom are not "interested persons" (as defined in the 1940 Act) of the Fund, do not have any beneficial ownership in the Fund (each, an "Independent Trustee").

None of the Fund, the Adviser or the Board of Trustees has any plans or proposals that relate to or would result in: (1) an extraordinary transaction, such as a merger, reorganization or liquidation, involving the Fund; (2) any purchase, sale or transfer of a material amount of assets of the Fund; (3) any material change in the present distribution policy or indebtedness or capitalization of the Fund; (4) any change in the present Board of Trustees or in the management of the Fund including, but not limited to, any plans or proposals to change the number or the term of members of the Board of Trustees, or to fill any existing vacancy on the Board of Trustees or to change any material term of the employment contract of any executive officer; (5) any other material change in the Fund's corporate structure or business, including any plans or proposals to make any changes in its investment policies, for which a vote would be required by Section 13 of the 1940 Act; (6) the acquisition by any person of additional Shares (other than the Fund's intention to accept subscriptions for Shares on the first day of each month and from time to time in the discretion of the Board of Trustees), or the disposition of Trustees (other than through periodic purchase offers, including the Offer); or (7) any changes in the Agreement and Declaration of Trust or other governing instruments or other actions that could impede the acquisition of control of the Fund.

Other than transactions conducted pursuant to the continuous offering of Shares, there have been no transactions involving Shares that were effected during the past 60 days by the Fund, the Adviser, any member of the Board of Trustees or any person controlling the Fund, the Adviser or the Board of Trustees.

10. CERTAIN FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSEQUENCES.

The following discussion is a general summary of the federal income tax consequences of the purchase of Shares by the Fund for cash pursuant to the Offer. Shareholders should consult their own tax advisers for a complete description of the tax consequences to them of a purchase of their Shares by the Fund pursuant to the Offer.

A Shareholder will generally recognize a taxable gain or loss on a sale of their Shares in an amount equal to the difference between their tax basis in the Shares and the amount they receive for them. Generally, this gain or loss will be long-term or short-term depending on whether the holding period exceeds twelve months. Additionally, any loss realized on a disposition of Shares of the Fund may be disallowed under "wash sale" rules to the extent the Shares disposed of are replaced with other shares of the Fund within a period of 61 days beginning 30 days before and ending 30 days after the Shares are disposed of, such as pursuant to a dividend reinvestment in Shares of the Fund. If disallowed, the loss will be reflected in an upward adjustment to the basis of the Shares acquired.

Pursuant to the regulations directed at tax shelter activity, taxpayers are required to disclose to the Internal Revenue Service certain information on Form 8886 if they participate in a "reportable transaction." A transaction may be a "reportable transaction" based upon any of several indicia with respect to a shareholder, including the recognition of a loss in excess of certain thresholds (for individuals, $2 million in one year or $4 million in any combination of years). Shareholders should consult their own tax advisers concerning any possible disclosure obligation with respect to their investment in Shares.

11. MISCELLANEOUS.

The Offer is not being made to, nor will tenders be accepted from, Shareholders in any jurisdiction in which the Offer or its acceptance would not comply with the securities or other laws of such jurisdiction. The Fund is not aware of any jurisdiction in which the Offer or tenders pursuant thereto would not be in compliance with the laws of such jurisdiction. However, the Fund reserves the right to exclude Shareholders from the Offer in any jurisdiction in which it is asserted that the Offer cannot lawfully be made. The Fund believes such exclusion is permissible under applicable laws and regulations, provided the Fund makes a good faith effort to comply with any state law deemed applicable to the Offer.

The Fund has filed an Issuer Tender Offer Statement on Schedule TO with the SEC, which includes certain information relating to the Offer. A free copy of such statement may be obtained by contacting UMBFS at the address and telephone number set out on the first page of the Letter of Transmittal or from the SEC's internet website, sec.gov.
