<p style="margin:6pt 0pt 0pt 0pt;"><font face="Times New Roman PS Std, Times New Roman PS, Times New Roman, Times" style="font-size:10pt;">The Boards believe that each Trustee's experience, qualifications, attributes and skills on an individual basis and in combination with those of other Trustees lead to the conclusion that each Trustee should serve in such capacity. Among the attributes or skills common to all Trustees are their ability to review critically and to evaluate, question and discuss information provided to them, to interact effectively with the other Trustees, the Fund's investment adviser, the administrator and other service providers, counsel and independent registered public accounting firm, and to exercise effective and independent business judgment in the performance of their duties as Trustees. Each Trustee's ability to perform the duties of a trustee effectively has been attained and enhanced through the Trustee's education, professional training and other life experiences, such as business, consulting or public service positions and through experience from service as a member of HQH, HQL and THQ's Boards, public companies, or non-profit entities or other organizations.</font></p>

Last year, four Trustees then in office attended the annual meeting of shareholders of HQH and HQL.</font></p>

<p style="margin:6pt 0pt 0pt 0pt;"><font face="Times New Roman PS Std, Times New Roman PS, Times New Roman, Times" style="font-size:10pt;">Overall responsibility for general oversight of each Fund rests with the Board. The Board of each Fund is comprised of seven individuals, six of whom are not "interested persons" of the Fund as defined in the 1940 Act ("Independent Trustees"). The Chairman of the Board is an Independent Trustee. The Chairman presides at meetings of the Trustees, participates in the preparation of the agenda for meetings of the Board, and acts as a liaison between the Independent Trustees and the Fund's management between Board meetings. Except for any duties specified herein, the designation as Chairman does not impose any obligations or standards greater than or different from other Trustees.</font></p>
<p style="margin:6pt 0pt 0pt 0pt;"><font face="Times New Roman PS Std, Times New Roman PS, Times New Roman, Times" style="font-size:10pt;">The Board of each Fund holds regular quarterly meetings each year to consider and address matters involving the Fund. The Board also may hold special meetings to address matters arising between regular meetings. The Independent Trustees also meet outside the presence of management in executive session at least quarterly and have engaged independent legal counsel to assist them in performing their oversight responsibilities.</font></p>
<p style="margin:6pt 0pt 0pt 0pt;"><font face="Times New Roman PS Std, Times New Roman PS, Times New Roman, Times" style="font-size:10pt;">The Board of each Fund has established Audit, Governance and Nominating, Valuation and Qualified Legal Compliance Committees to assist the Board in the oversight of the management and affairs of the Fund. All of the members of these Committees are Independent Trustees, except for Dr. Omstead, who serves on the Valuation Committee. From time to time the Board may establish additional committees or informal working groups to deal with specific matters.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0pt 0pt 0pt 0pt;"><font face="Times New Roman PS Std, Times New Roman PS, Times New Roman, Times" style="font-size:10pt;">Each Fund is subject to a number of risks including investment, compliance, operational and valuation risks. Although the Adviser and the officers of each Fund are responsible for managing these risks on a day-to-day basis, the Board of each Fund has adopted, and periodically reviews, policies and procedures designed to address these risks. As part of its regular oversight, the Board of each Fund, directly or through a Committee, interacts with the Fund's Chief Compliance Officer, the Fund's independent public accounting firm, and the Fund's legal counsel. These interactions include discussing the Fund's risk management and controls with the independent registered public accounting firm engaged by the Fund, reviewing valuation policies and procedures and the valuations of specific restricted securities, and receiving periodic reports from the Fund's Chief Compliance Officer regarding compliance matters relating to the Fund and its major service providers, including results of the implementation and testing of the Fund's and such providers' compliance programs. The Board's oversight function is facilitated by management reporting processes designed to provide information to the Board regarding the identification, assessment, and management of critical risks and the controls and policies and procedures used to mitigate those risks. The Board reviews its role in supervising the Fund's risk management from time to time and may change the manner in which it fulfills its oversight responsibilities at its discretion at any time.</font></p>
<p style="margin:6pt 0pt 0pt 0pt;"><font face="Times New Roman PS Std, Times New Roman PS, Times New Roman, Times" style="font-size:10pt;">The Board of each Fund has determined that its leadership structure is appropriate for the Fund because it enables the Board to exercise informed and independent judgment over matters under its purview, allocates responsibility among committees in a manner that fosters effective oversight and allows the Board to devote appropriate resources to specific issues in a flexible manner as they arise. The Board periodically reviews its leadership structure as well as its overall structure, composition, and functioning and may make changes at its discretion at any time.</font></p>

The Board of each Fund has adopted a written charter for the Audit Committee. The Audit Committee charter is available at http://www.teklacap.com/hqh-reports.html. The principal purpose of each Fund's Audit Committee is to assist the Board in fulfilling its responsibility to oversee management's conduct of the Fund's financial reporting process, including reviewing the financial reports and other financial information provided by the Fund, the Fund's systems of internal accounting and financial controls and the annual independent audit process.</font></p>
<p style="margin:6pt 0pt 0pt 0pt;"><font face="Times New Roman PS Std, Times New Roman PS, Times New Roman, Times" style="font-size:10pt;">Each Audit Committee's role is one of oversight, and it is recognized that each Fund's management is responsible for preparing each Fund's financial statements and that each Fund's independent registered public accountant is responsible for auditing those financial statements. Although each Audit Committee member must be financially literate and one member must have accounting or financial management expertise (as determined by the Board in its business judgment), Audit Committee members are not professionally engaged in the practice of accounting or auditing and are not experts in the fields of accounting or auditing, including with respect to auditor independence. Audit Committee members rely, without independent verification, on the information provided to them and on the representations made by management and each Fund's independent registered public accountants.</font></p>
<p style="margin:5.5pt 0pt 0pt 0pt;"><font face="Times New Roman PS Std, Times New Roman PS, Times New Roman, Times" style="font-size:10pt;">The members of each Fund's Audit Committee are Mr. Pohotsky, Mr. Reardon, Dr. Reinhardt and Ms. Stebbins. Ms. Stebbins is the Chairman of each Fund's Audit Committee. The Audit Committee of each of HQH and HQL held four meetings during the fiscal year ended September 30, 2014.

<p style="margin:5.5pt 0pt 0pt 0pt;"><font face="Times New Roman PS Std, Times New Roman PS, Times New Roman, Times" style="font-size:10pt;">Each Fund's By-Laws require that each prospective trustee candidate have a college degree or equivalent business experience and provide a list of minimum qualifications for trustees, which include expertise, experience or relationships relevant to the business of the Fund. Each Fund's By-Laws also require that a candidate not be serving in any of various positions with another investment company (as defined in the 1940 Act) that focuses its investments in the healthcare and/or life sciences industries, unless such investment company is managed by the Fund's investment adviser or an affiliate, or in various positions with the investment adviser, sponsor or equivalent of such an investment company. Each Committee may also take into account other factors when considering and evaluating potential trustee candidates, including but not limited to: (i) availability and commitment to attend meetings and perform responsibilities of the Board; (ii) relevant industry and related experience; (iii) educational background; (iv) financial expertise; (v) the candidate's ability, judgment and expertise; and (vi) the overall diversity of the Board's composition.</font></p>
<p style="margin:5.5pt 0pt 0pt 0pt;"><font face="Times New Roman PS Std, Times New Roman PS, Times New Roman, Times" style="font-size:10pt;">The Committee of each Fund may identify prospective trustees from any reasonable source, including, but not limited to, the consultation of third-party trustee search services. The Committee will consider potential trustee candidates recommended by shareholders, provided that the proposed candidates (i) satisfy any minimum qualifications of the Fund for its trustees; (ii) are not "interested persons" (as that term is defined in Section 2(a)(19) of the 1940 Act) of the Fund or the Adviser; and (iii) are "independent" as defined in the NYSE Listing Standards. In order to be evaluated by the Committee, trustee candidates recommended by shareholders must also meet certain eligibility requirements as set out in the Committees' charter. Other than those eligibility requirements, the Committee shall not evaluate shareholder trustee nominees in a different manner than other nominees. The standard of the Committee is to treat all equally qualified nominees in the same manner.</font></p>
<p style="margin:5.5pt 0pt 0pt 0pt;"><font face="Times New Roman PS Std, Times New Roman PS, Times New Roman, Times" style="font-size:10pt;">All recommendations by shareholders must be received by a Fund by the deadline for submission of any shareholder proposals which would be included in the Fund's proxy statement for the next annual meeting of the Fund. Each shareholder or shareholder group must meet the requirements stated in the Committee's charter in order to recommend a candidate. A shareholder or shareholder group may not submit more than one candidate per year. When recommending a trustee candidate, shareholders must include in their notice to the Fund's Secretary: (i) the shareholder's contact information; (ii) the trustee candidate's contact information and the number of Fund shares owned by the proposed candidate; (iii) all information regarding the candidate that would be required to be disclosed in solicitations of proxies for elections of trustees required by Regulation 14A of the Securities Act of 1934, as amended </font></p>

Reporting Evidence of a Material Violation is required under the Standards of Professional Conduct for Attorneys adopted by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") under the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (the "Standards"). Under the Standards, if an attorney appearing and practicing before the SEC in the representation of an issuer, such as the Fund, becomes aware of Evidence of a Material Violation by the issuer or by any officer, trustee, employee or agent of the issuer, the Standards provide for the attorney to report such evidence to the issuer's QLCC forthwith. In discharging its role, the QLCC is granted the power to investigate any Evidence of a Material Violation brought to its attention with full access to all books, records, facilities and personnel of the Fund and the power to retain outside counsel, auditors or other experts for this purpose.</font></p>

<p style="margin:6pt 0pt 0pt 0pt;"><font face="Times New Roman PS Std, Times New Roman PS, Times New Roman, Times" style="font-size:10pt;">Each Fund's Audit Committee has adopted Pre-Approval Policies and Procedures pursuant to which the Committee pre-approves all audit and non-audit services provided by the Fund's independent auditor (the "Auditor") and any non-audit services provided by the Auditor to the Fund's investment adviser and service affiliates ("Service Affiliates") during the period of the Auditor's engagement to provide audit services to the Fund, if those services directly impact the Fund's operations and financial reporting. Audit services include those typically associated with the annual audit such as evaluation of internal controls. Non-Audit services include certain services that are audit-related, such as consultations regarding financial accounting and reporting standards and tax services. Certain services may not be provided by the Auditor to the Fund's or the Fund's Service Affiliates without jeopardizing the Auditor's independence. These services are deemed prohibited services and include certain management functions; human resources services; broker-dealer, investment adviser or investment banking services; legal services; and expert services unrelated to the audit.

<p style="margin:6pt 0pt 0pt 0pt;"><font face="Times New Roman PS Std, Times New Roman PS, Times New Roman, Times" style="font-size:10pt;">The Pre-Approval Policies and Procedures of each Fund's Audit Committee require Audit Committee approval of the engagement of the Auditor for each fiscal year and approval of the engagement by at least a majority of the Fund's Independent Trustees. In determining whether to engage the Auditor for its audit services, each Fund's Audit Committee will consider the Auditor's proposed fees for the engagement, in light of the scope and nature of the audit services that the Fund will receive. The Pre-Approval Policies and Procedures also permit each Fund's Audit Committee to pre-approve the provisions of types or categories of permissible non-audit services for the Fund and its Service Affiliates on an annual basis at the time of the Auditor's engagement and on a project-by-project basis. At the time of the annual engagement of each Fund's Auditor, each Audit Committee is to receive a list of the categories of expected non-audit services with a description and an estimated budget of fees. In their pre-approval, each Audit Committee should determine that the provision of the service is consistent with, and will not impair, the ongoing independence of the Auditor and set any limits on fees or other conditions they find appropriate. Non-audit services may also be approved on a project-by-project basis by each Audit Committee consistent with the same standards for determination and information.</font></p>
<p style="margin:6pt 0pt 0pt 0pt;"><font face="Times New Roman PS Std, Times New Roman PS, Times New Roman, Times" style="font-size:10pt;">Each Audit Committee may also appoint a member of each Committee to pre-approve non-audit services that have not been pre-approved or material changes in the nature or cost of any non-audit services previously pre-approved. The member may not pre-approve any project the estimated budget (or budgeted range) of fees of which exceed or may exceed $15,000. Any actions by the member are to be ratified by the Audit Committee by the time of its next scheduled meeting. Each Fund's Pre-Approval Policies and Procedures are reviewed annually by the Fund's Audit Committee, and the Fund maintains a record of the decisions made by the Committee pursuant to these procedures.</font></p>

Instructions on how to attend the meeting and vote in person can be obtained by calling (617) 772-8500. All valid proxies received prior to the Joint Annual Meeting, or any adjournment(s) or postponements(s) thereof, will be voted at the Joint Annual Meeting and any adjournments or postponements thereof.</font></p>

For purposes of determining the presence of a quorum, abstentions and broker "non-votes" will be treated as shares that are present. Broker non-votes are proxies received by each Fund from brokers or nominees when the broker or nominee has neither received instructions from the beneficial owner or other persons entitled to vote nor has discretionary power to vote on a particular matter. Proposals 1 and 2 to be voted upon by the shareholders involve matters that the NYSE considers to be routine and within the discretion of brokers to vote if no customer instructions are received.</font></p>

Any such adjournment will require approval by a majority of the votes validly cast on the matter at the session of the Joint Annual Meeting to be adjourned. When voting on a proposed adjournment, the persons named as proxies will vote FOR the proposed adjournment all shares that they are entitled to vote with respect to each item, unless directed to vote AGAINST an item, in which case such shares will be voted AGAINST the proposed adjournment with respect to that item. A shareholder vote may be taken on one or more items prior to such adjournment, if sufficient votes have been received and it is otherwise appropriate. Abstentions and broker non-votes will be disregarded for purposes of voting on adjournment.</font></p>
