The Firm’s investment objective is to make investments in companies developing and
commercializing important and innovative healthcare products, services and technologies,

Information about Aisling’s advisory services is included in this Brochure
and is qualified
in its entirety by information contained in the relevant Fund’s Offering Documents.
C. Aisling does not tailor its advisory services to the individual or particular needs of investors
in the Funds. Such investors accept the terms of advisory services as set forth in the
relevant Offering Documents. The Firm has broad investment authority with respect to the
Funds and, as such, investors should consider whether the investment objectives of a Fund
will be in line with their respective individual objectives and risk tolerance prior to
investment. The Funds or the general partners of such Funds have entered and may in the
future enter into side letters or other written agreements with certain investors that have the
effect of establishing rights or provisions under, or altering or supplementing, the terms of
a Fund’s partnership agreement or an investor’s subscription agreement with respect to
such investor. Such provisions have included and may include, without limitation, rights
with respect to fees, expenses, disclosure or priority on co-investment opportunities,
distributions, excuse or exclusion from investments, transfers of interests in the Fund, tax
and other reporting, notice requirements, sharing of investment ideas, introductions to
business persons and opportunities, and other representations, warranties or diligence
confirmations. Other side letter rights are likely to confer benefits on the relevant investor
at the expense of the relevant Fund or of investors as a whole, including in the event that a
side letter confers additional reporting, information rights and/or transfer rights, the costs
and expenses of which are expected to be borne by the relevant Fund. These additional
rights will have the effect of increasing the expenses borne by the relevant Fund and/or its
investors not party to the particular side letter. For the most part, any rights established, or
any terms altered or supplemented will govern only the investment of the specific investor
and not the terms of a Fund as whole. Certain additional rights but not all rights, terms or
conditions could be elected by certain sizeable investors with “most favored nations” rights
pursuant to a Fund’s limited partnership agreement.
D. Aisling does not participate in wrap fee programs.
