<p><strong>Hercules Capital, Inc. (HTGC) 證券集體訴訟：</strong></p>
<p>Hercules 是一家商業發展公司，專注於為各種技術和生命科學行業的高增長風險投資和機構支持公司提供融資解決方案（貸款）。</p>
<p>該訴訟集中於 Hercules 關於其投資來源和承銷過程的披露的適當性。</p>
<p>過去，Hercules 曾向投資者保證其潛在投資的強大來源過程以及在承銷投資之前盡職調查過程的有效性。</p>
<p>投訴稱，Hercules 誇大了其進行交易來源和貸款發放過程的盡職調查，誇大了其進行投資組合估值過程的盡職調查，並報告了錯誤分類的投資組合投資。因此，訴訟聲稱，Hercules 誇大或誤報了其投資組合估值和淨資產值（&#34;NAV&#34;）。</p>
<p>該公司的保證在 2026 年 2 月 27 日受到質疑，當時 Hunterbrook 發佈了其調查結果。</p>
<p>與 Hercules 的保證相反，Hunterbrook 部分聲稱&#34;根據一位曾在 Hercules 從事交易來源的分析師&#34;，該公司的交易來源過程基本上等同於</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 還觀察到，Hercules 是最暴露於軟件的 BDC 之一（&#34;[a] bout 35% of the value of the company's loan portfolio&#34;），並且&#34;[d] espite billions worth of such debt across the industry falling into distressed territory […] Hercules 仍將其軟件賬面標記為每美元 100 美分。&#34;</p>
<p>此外，根據 Hunterbrook 的分析，Hercules 收入中越來越大的一部分是&#34;虛幻的&#34;，因為該公司越來越多地使用支付利息的方式（&#34;PIK&#34;）貸款，使其借款人通過增加債務本金而不是支付債務利息來支付利息。</p>
<p>Hunterbrook 還與 Hercules 財務團隊的一位前成員進行了交談，該成員據稱提供了信息，Hunterbrook 表示這些信息引發了對公司估值過程的警示，因為與其他 BDC 不同，該團隊規模小且人手不足，缺乏檢查機制。</p>
<p>這一消息導致 Hercules 的股價在 2026 年 2 月 27 日下跌近 8%。</p>
<p>&#34;我們正在調查 Hunterbrook 的指控，如果屬實，Hercules 是否誤導了投資者關於其來源、承銷、標記、PIK，最終是其 NAV，&#34;Hagens Berman 的合夥人 Reed Kathrein 表示，他領導着該公司的調查。</p>

<div class="lb-trans"><p><strong>Hercules Capital, Inc. (HTGC) 證券集體訴訟：</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 是一家商業發展公司，專注於為各種技術和生命科學行業的高增長風險投資和機構支持公司提供融資解決方案（貸款）。</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>該訴訟集中於 Hercules 關於其投資來源和承銷過程的披露的適當性。</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>過去，Hercules 曾向投資者保證其潛在投資的強大來源過程以及在承銷投資之前盡職調查過程的有效性。</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>投訴稱，Hercules 誇大了其進行交易來源和貸款發放過程的盡職調查，誇大了其進行投資組合估值過程的盡職調查，並報告了錯誤分類的投資組合投資。因此，訴訟聲稱，Hercules 誇大或誤報了其投資組合估值和淨資產值（&#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>該公司的保證在 2026 年 2 月 27 日受到質疑，當時 Hunterbrook 發佈了其調查結果。</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>與 Hercules 的保證相反，Hunterbrook 部分聲稱&#34;根據一位曾在 Hercules 從事交易來源的分析師&#34;，該公司的交易來源過程基本上等同於</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 還觀察到，Hercules 是最暴露於軟件的 BDC 之一（&#34;[a] bout 35% of the value of the company's loan portfolio&#34;），並且&#34;[d] espite billions worth of such debt across the industry falling into distressed territory […] Hercules 仍將其軟件賬面標記為每美元 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，根據 Hunterbrook 的分析，Hercules 收入中越來越大的一部分是&#34;虛幻的&#34;，因為該公司越來越多地使用支付利息的方式（&#34;PIK&#34;）貸款，使其借款人通過增加債務本金而不是支付債務利息來支付利息。</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 還與 Hercules 財務團隊的一位前成員進行了交談，該成員據稱提供了信息，Hunterbrook 表示這些信息引發了對公司估值過程的警示，因為與其他 BDC 不同，該團隊規模小且人手不足，缺乏檢查機制。</p>
</div><p>This news drove the price of Hercules shares down nearly 8% on February 27, 2026.</p>
<div class="lb-trans"><p>這一消息導致 Hercules 的股價在 2026 年 2 月 27 日下跌近 8%。</p>
