Explanation of Responses:

1. In the reorganization (the "Reorganization") of Hamilton Lane Advisors, L.L.C. ("HLA") in connection with the Issuer's initial public offering (the "IPO"), shares of the Class B common stock of the Issuer, par value $0.001 per share, were issued and sold at par value to certain persons who held voting interests in HLA prior to the Reorganization. The Class B common stock does not carry economic value beyond the right to receive the par value of such stock upon liquidation, dissolution or exchange of those shares. However, the Class B common stock entitles its holder to ten votes per share on every matter submitted to the Issuer's stockholders for a vote.

2. In the Reorganization, the voting interests of HLA held prior to the IPO were converted into Class B Units and the non-voting interests of HLA were converted into Class C Units. Pursuant to an Exchange Agreement entered into in connection with the Reorganization, the Class B Units and Class C Units of HLA are exchangeable, on a one-for-one basis, for shares of Class A common stock or, at the Issuer's election, for cash. Upon exchange of a Class B Unit, the corresponding share of Class B common stock will be redeemed at par value and cancelled. The Class B Units and Class C Units of HLA do not have an expiration date.

Remarks:

This Form is filed by (i) the Mario Giannini 2008 Annuity Trust (the "Trust") and (ii) Joseph G. Maniaci. Mr. Maniaci serves as trustee of the Trust. The Trust is a member of a group that beneficially owns more than 10% of the Issuer's Class A Common Stock.
