NOTICE FROM THE ISSUERTO NOTEHOLDERS

HFMX Designated ActivityCompany

(the "Issuer")

SI ProjectI (Series 243) Notes due 2023

ISIN: XS1887320890 COMMON CODE: 188732089

(the "Notes" or the "Series" and the holdersthereof the "Noteholders")

Capitalised terms used but not otherwisedefined in this notice shall have the meanings ascribedto them in the Series Memorandum dated 3 October 2018 and the Conditions of the Notes as the same may beamended and / or supplemented from time to time.

BACKGROUND

The Issuer used the entire net proceeds of the Notesto invest in the membership interests of SI Project, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company incorporated on 25 June 2018 with registered office at 8 The Green, Suite A, Dover, Delaware 19901, Kent County(the "Company").

The MaturityDate of the Notes is 2 October 2023.

Special Condition 5.3 (Redemption Amount) provides that, unless previously redeemed or purchased, the Notes will be redeemed by a payment in respect of each Note of the Redemption Amount on the Final Maturity Payment Date save where Notes are redeemed pursuant to Condition 2.4.6. The Redemption Amount is defined as an amount equal to the greater of (i) zero and (ii) the Net Proceeds. The Special Condition also provides that no interest or other amount shall accrue or be payable in respect of the Notes in respect of the period from and including the Maturity Date, to and including the Final MaturityPayment Date.

The calculation of the Net Proceeds is dependent on the determination of the Realisable Value. The Realisable Value is defined as an amount determined by the Calculation Agent being the proceeds of sale or other means of realisation of the Charged Assets less any costs, expenses, taxes and duties incurred in connection with the disposal or transfer of the Charged Assets by the Charged Assets Realisation Agent.

Subject to the Conditions, the Final Maturity Payment Date is defined as the date falling five (5) Business Days following the day that the Issuer receives the aggregate Realisable Value pursuant to SpecialCondition 5.3 (Redemption Amount). It is also stipulated that the FinalMaturity Payment Date may be significantly later than the Maturity Date (as was disclosed in the "Risk Factors – Payments" in the Series Memorandum). Special Condition 5.11 (Events of Default) provides that an Event of Default under Condition 4.1.1 shall occur if the FinalMaturity Payment Date does not occur within90 days of the MaturityDate.

On 5 July 2023, the Company contacted the Arranger with respect to a potential extension of the Maturity Dateand provided the following explanation with respect to the contemplated extension:

"As we have mentioned in various quarterly investor calls, the SI Projectportfolio has withstood, since 2020, a global health pandemic,unprecedented velocity in inflation, higher interest rate and geopolitical volatility in Brazil which has impactedthe USD/BRL exchangerate. Therefore, althoughthe SI Project fund is profitable in the local currency (BRL), the currency devaluation versus US Dollar (USD) of approximately 25.2% since the inception of the fund has resultedin the net performance to be negativeto our investors.

Our allocation and investment in the industrial real estate sectorin Brazil has been the largest driver of returns. The fund's warehouses were successfully built and are currently leased at competitive market rates.However, given local interest ratesare now at 13.75%, the valuation of these cash flowing assets

is severelydiscounted to where the marketwas a couple of years ago.

Our warehouses at Guarulhos Airportwith 3,036 m² and Osascowith 7,347m², besidesbeing almost at 100% occupancy,the rates are increasing in price above our expectations. For example, in 2020 the price per square meter was tradingat around R$ 19/m² versustoday the marketis commending a R$ 30/m².

Although we expect interest rates to come down and stabilize in the future, significantly improving the underlying asset pricing in the portfolio, we are faced with a decision today as the fund is set to return investor's capital October 2023. We do not believe this is the best time to liquidate the assets of the portfolio."

At such time, the Company did not request an extension of the Maturity Date but have now formally requested an extension of the Series.However, Special Condition 5.10 of the Notes providesthat:

The term of the Notes may be extended for further periodsof up to ten (10) years, providedthat, at the request of the Issuer,the Calculation Agent, on behalfof the Issuer, has given a notice(the "Extension Notice") to the Trustee,the Principal Paying Agent and the Noteholders one (1) calendarmonth prior to the Maturity Date or any Extended Maturity Date, if applicable, stating that such extension shall take place in respect of the Notes.If no Extension Notice, or no furtherExtension Notices (if applicable) are delivered by the Calculation Agent, the Notes shall be redeemed on the Maturity Date or on the date stated in the final Extension Notice (such date being the"Extended Maturity Date").

The Company did not formally request an extension of the Series at least one calendar month prior to the Maturity Date. As such, no Extension Notice can be given, and the Series may not be extended withoutan Extraordinary Resolution of the Noteholders. The Arranger is in discussions with the Issuerwith respect to requesting the Noteholders to pass an Extraordinary Resolution approving an ExtendedMaturity Date.

The Issuer hereby providesnotice that:

  1. The Notes will mature on the Scheduled Maturity Date of 2 October 2023.
  1. The provisions of Special Condition 5.3 (Redemption Amount) apply so that the Redemption Amount of the Notes will be paid on the Final Maturity PaymentDate, which may be significantly later than the Maturity Date.
  1. The Arranger will coordinate with the Issuer, in respect of requesting the Noteholders to passan Extraordinary Resolution approving an Extended Maturity Date.
  1. Should the Issuerdecide not to proceed with the Extraordinary Resolution per item 3 above,the Redemption Amountand the Final Maturity PaymentDate will be determined in due course on the basis of the final determination of the Realisable Value of the Charged Assets, following which the Issuer (i) will inform the Noteholders of the Final Maturity Payment Date and Redemption Amount and (ii) request the cancellation of the listing of the Notes on the Vienna MTF following their redemption.
