<p><strong>Hercules Capital, Inc. (HTGC) 证券集体诉讼：</strong></p>
<p>Hercules 是一家商业发展公司，专注于为各种技术和生命科学行业的高增长风险投资和机构支持公司提供融资解决方案（贷款）。</p>
<p>该诉讼集中于 Hercules 关于其投资来源和承销过程的披露的适当性。</p>
<p>过去，Hercules 曾向投资者保证其潜在投资的强大来源过程以及在承销投资之前尽职调查过程的有效性。</p>
<p>投诉称，Hercules 夸大了其进行交易来源和贷款发放过程的尽职调查，夸大了其进行投资组合估值过程的尽职调查，并报告了错误分类的投资组合投资。因此，诉讼声称，Hercules 夸大或误报了其投资组合估值和净资产值（&#34;NAV&#34;）。</p>
<p>该公司的保证在 2026 年 2 月 27 日受到质疑，当时 Hunterbrook 发布了其调查结果。</p>
<p>与 Hercules 的保证相反，Hunterbrook 部分声称&#34;根据一位曾在 Hercules 从事交易来源的分析师&#34;，该公司的交易来源过程基本上等同于</p>
<p>&#34;'[g] o[ing] on the website for Google Ventures and just see what they invest in and just copy it.'&#34;</p>
<p>Hunterbrook 还观察到，Hercules 是最暴露于软件的 BDC 之一（&#34;[a] bout 35% of the value of the company's loan portfolio&#34;），并且&#34;[d] espite billions worth of such debt across the industry falling into distressed territory […] Hercules 仍将其软件账面标记为每美元 100 美分。&#34;</p>
<p>此外，根据 Hunterbrook 的分析，Hercules 收入中越来越大的一部分是&#34;虚幻的&#34;，因为该公司越来越多地使用支付利息的方式（&#34;PIK&#34;）贷款，使其借款人通过增加债务本金而不是支付债务利息来支付利息。</p>
<p>Hunterbrook 还与 Hercules 财务团队的一位前成员进行了交谈，该成员据称提供了信息，Hunterbrook 表示这些信息引发了对公司估值过程的警示，因为与其他 BDC 不同，该团队规模小且人手不足，缺乏检查机制。</p>
<p>这一消息导致 Hercules 的股价在 2026 年 2 月 27 日下跌近 8%。</p>
<p>&#34;我们正在调查 Hunterbrook 的指控，如果属实，Hercules 是否误导了投资者关于其来源、承销、标记、PIK，最终是其 NAV，&#34;Hagens Berman 的合伙人 Reed Kathrein 表示，他领导着该公司的调查。</p>
<p>如果您在 Hercules 投资并遭受重大损失，或者有可能协助该公司调查的信息，请立即提交您的损失 »</p>

<div class="lb-trans"><p><strong>Hercules Capital, Inc. (HTGC) 证券集体诉讼：</strong></p>
</div><p>Hercules is a business development company that focuses on providing financing solutions (loans) to high-growth venture capital-backed and institutional-backed companies in a variety of technology and life sciences industries.</p>
<div class="lb-trans"><p>Hercules 是一家商业发展公司，专注于为各种技术和生命科学行业的高增长风险投资和机构支持公司提供融资解决方案（贷款）。</p>
</div><p>The lawsuit is focused on the propriety of Hercules' disclosures about its investment origination and underwriting processes.</p>
<div class="lb-trans"><p>该诉讼集中于 Hercules 关于其投资来源和承销过程的披露的适当性。</p>
</div><p>In the past, Hercules has assured investors about the robust origination process for sourcing potential investments and the effectiveness of its due diligence process prior to underwriting its investments.</p>
<div class="lb-trans"><p>过去，Hercules 曾向投资者保证其潜在投资的强大来源过程以及在承销投资之前尽职调查过程的有效性。</p>
</div><p>The complaint alleges that Hercules overstated the due diligence with which it conducted its deal sourcing and loan origination process, overstated the due diligence with which it conducted its portfolio valuation process, and reported misclassified portfolio investments. As a result, the lawsuit claims, Hercules overstated or misrepresented its portfolio valuations and its net asset value (&#34;NAV&#34;).</p>
<div class="lb-trans"><p>投诉称，Hercules 夸大了其进行交易来源和贷款发放过程的尽职调查，夸大了其进行投资组合估值过程的尽职调查，并报告了错误分类的投资组合投资。因此，诉讼声称，Hercules 夸大或误报了其投资组合估值和净资产值（&#34;NAV&#34;）。</p>
</div><p>The company's assurances were brought into question on February 27, 2026, when Hunterbrook published its findings.</p>
<div class="lb-trans"><p>该公司的保证在 2026 年 2 月 27 日受到质疑，当时 Hunterbrook 发布了其调查结果。</p>
</div><p>In contrast to Hercules' assurances, Hunterbrook claimed in part that &#34;according to a former Hercules analyst who worked on deal sourcing&#34; the company's deal sourcing process essentially amounted to</p>
<div class="lb-trans"><p>与 Hercules 的保证相反，Hunterbrook 部分声称&#34;根据一位曾在 Hercules 从事交易来源的分析师&#34;，该公司的交易来源过程基本上等同于</p>

<div class="lb-trans"><p>&#34;'[g] o[ing] on the website for Google Ventures and just see what they invest in and just copy it.'&#34;</p>
</div><p>Hunterbrook also observed that Hercules is among the most software-exposed BDCs (&#34;[a] bout 35% of the value of the company's loan portfolio&#34;) and &#34;[d] espite billions worth of such debt across the industry falling into distressed territory […] Hercules still marks its software book at 100 cents on the dollar.&#34;</p>
<div class="lb-trans"><p>Hunterbrook 还观察到，Hercules 是最暴露于软件的 BDC 之一（&#34;[a] bout 35% of the value of the company's loan portfolio&#34;），并且&#34;[d] espite billions worth of such debt across the industry falling into distressed territory […] Hercules 仍将其软件账面标记为每美元 100 美分。&#34;</p>
</div><p>Further, according to Hunterbrook's analysis, a growing share of Hercules' income is &#34;phantom&#34; because of the company's increasing usage of payment-in-kind (&#34;PIK&#34;) loans to enable its borrowers to pay interest by adding to the principal of their debt rather than paying interest on their debt.</p>
<div class="lb-trans"><p>此外，根据 Hunterbrook 的分析，Hercules 收入中越来越大的一部分是&#34;虚幻的&#34;，因为该公司越来越多地使用支付利息的方式（&#34;PIK&#34;）贷款，使其借款人通过增加债务本金而不是支付债务利息来支付利息。</p>
</div><p>Hunterbrook also spoke with a former member of Hercules' finance team who reportedly provided information that Hunterbrook said raised flags about the company's valuation process because, unlike other BDCs, the team was small and overstretched with few checks in place.</p>
<div class="lb-trans"><p>Hunterbrook 还与 Hercules 财务团队的一位前成员进行了交谈，该成员据称提供了信息，Hunterbrook 表示这些信息引发了对公司估值过程的警示，因为与其他 BDC 不同，该团队规模小且人手不足，缺乏检查机制。</p>
</div><p>This news drove the price of Hercules shares down nearly 8% on February 27, 2026.</p>
