The LPA amended and restated the Fund’s initial Agreement of Limited Partnership~~February 28, ~~dated as of July 18~~2026, ~~2025. A description of the LPA~~ was included under “Item 1. Business – Partnership Agreement” of the Annual Report on Form 10-K and is incorporated by reference herein. Such description of the LPA does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the LPA, a copy of which is filed with this Current Report on Form 8-K as ~~Exhibit 3.1, and is incorporated herein by reference.~~ follows:


Unit Class	Transactional NAV as of February 28, 2026
Class A-1	$	26.11
Class A-2	$	26.11
Class A-3	$	26.12
Class B-1	$	25.00
Class B-3	$	25.00
Class E	$	26.71

~~Item~~The 8Fund calculates the net asset value for subscriptions (the “Transactional NAV”) for purposes of establishing the price at which transactions in its Units are made.01 ~~Other~~The ~~Events~~Transactional NAV for each Unit class of the Fund is calculated monthly by its investment manager, beginning with the end of the first full month after the Fund has accepted third-party investors. Transactional NAV is based on the month-end values of investments, the addition of the value of any other assets such as cash, and the deduction of any liabilities, including the accrual and allocation of the Management Fee, the Performance Participation Allocation (each as defined in the Fund’s Annual Report on Form 10-K, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on January 29, 2026 (the “Annual Report on Form 10-K”)) and the deduction of expenses attributable to certain Unit classes, such as applicable Servicing Fees (as defined in the Annual Report on Form 10-K). Differences are expected to arise between the Transactional NAV and net asset value calculated under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America as a result of differing methodologies between the two in, for instance, the treatment of certain expenses.

On February 2, 2026, the Fund closed on the acquisition of secondary investments in certain funds and/or accounts managed by Warburg Pincus or its affiliates, comprising a portion of its seed portfolio in the amount of approximately $213 million. Acquisition of these positions provides the Fund with exposure to investments in approximately 200 companies across seven sectors and multiple geographies. A description of the Fund’s seed portfolio was included under “Item 1. Business – Seed Portfolio” of the Annual Report on Form 10-K and is incorporated by reference herein.
