    Comments by the CEO

    NAXS’s NAV/share contracted by 1.9% during the third quarter, due to a
    slightly negative development of the valuation of private equity fund
    investments and exchange rates. Over the first nine months of 2017, the
    NAV/share increased by 6.6%, and by 11.5% over 12 months.

    NAXS continued to repurchase its own shares during the third quarter,
    acquiring 419,282 shares. These repurchases, made at an average
    discount of 16% to the June 30th net asset value, were deemed capital-
    efficient for the Company and value-accretive for our shareholders. As of

    the end of the third quarter, NAXS held a total of 422,812 shares, representing 3% of the
    total number of shares.
