Highlights of the year 2024

In 2024 HGO raised capital on three different occasions including an inaugural debt issue in US$ which not only provided liquidity but also due to the issuance in US$ provided a partial foreign exchange hedge. HGO also completed a follow-on investment in Gauzy Ltd prior to the company's listing on the NASDAQ stock exchange in the United States, as well as a first investment in an EU based company Antaria Pharma. This Euro denominated investment has also helped to balance the foreign exchange exposure in the portfolio.

GAUZY LTD is a world leading vendor of material science, focused on developing, manufacturing, and marketing LCG (light control glass) technology. Gauzy is the only company in the world working with two of the three active light control technologies, SPD (suspended particle device) and PDLC (polymer dispersed liquid crystals). Gauzy Ltd's LCG nanotechnologies allows glass to change from transparent to varying degrees of opaque on demand for privacy, custom shading, solar control, and transparent displays.

Antaria is a tech-enabled, alternative lending platform specialised in pharmacies. The company aims to become an end-to-end service provider, with a strategy based on upholding the principles of independent pharmacists and pharmacy ownership. Antaria's initial focus is pharmacies in France, and aspires to replicate its business model across Europe. Antaria aims to be the pharmacists' preferred partner across the spectrum, ranging from financing solutions to business management through the use of Antaria's proprietary technology platform.
