[SHAREHOLDER NAME/ADDRESS]

Dear Shareholder:

This letter serves to inform you that Blackstone Alternative Alpha Fund (the “Fund”) has received and accepted for purchase your tender of shares of beneficial interest in the Fund.

In accordance with the terms of the tender offer, you will be issued a non-interest bearing, non-transferable promissory note (the “Note”), which will be held on your behalf by State Street Bank and Trust Company, the Fund’s administrator, entitling you to receive payment(s) in an aggregate amount equal to the net asset value of the tendered shares as of September 30, 2019 (or such later date as may be determined by the Fund if the tender offer is extended, the “Valuation Date”) less the 2% “early withdrawal fee” (if applicable). Subject to the terms and conditions of the tender offer, payment(s) in settlement of the note are generally expected to be made in accordance with the schedule described in (A) or (B) below, as applicable:

 

  A.

Payment Schedule for Purchases of Greater than or Equal to 95% of your Shares:

 

   

an initial payment equal to 95% of the unaudited net asset value of the Shares tendered and purchased, determined as of the Tender Valuation Date (the “Initial Payment”), which, unless the existence of changes in tax or other laws or regulations or unusual market conditions result in a delay, will be paid to the Investor on or before the later of (a) 30 days after the Tender Valuation Date or, (b) if the Fund has requested the repurchase of all or a portion of its investment in the Master Fund in order to fund its purchase of Shares, ten Business Days after the Fund has received at least 95% of the aggregate purchase amount from the Master Fund;

 

   

a contingent payment (the “Contingent Payment”) equal to the excess, if any, of (a) the net asset value of the Shares tendered and purchased as of the Tender Valuation Date (as may or may not be adjusted based upon subsequent revisions to the net asset values of the Investment Funds) over (b) the Initial Payment, which will be paid to the Investor promptly after completion of the Fund’s next annual audit; and

 

   

The 2.00% early withdrawal fee described below (if applicable) will reduce the repurchase proceeds by reducing the Initial Payment by the amount of the fee.

 

  B.

Payment Schedule for Purchases of Less than 95% of your Shares:

 

   

a single payment (the “Single Payment”) equal to 100% of the unaudited net asset value of the Shares tendered and purchased, determined as of the Tender Valuation Date, which, unless the existence of changes in tax or other laws or regulations or unusual market conditions result in a delay, will be paid to the Investor on or before the later of (a) 30 days after the Tender Valuation Date or, (b) if the Fund has requested the repurchase of all or a portion of its investment in the Master Fund in order to fund its purchase of Shares, ten Business Days after the Fund has received at least 95% of the aggregate purchase amount from the Master Fund; and

 

   

The 2.00% early withdrawal fee described below (if applicable) will reduce the repurchase proceeds by reducing the Single Payment by the amount of the fee.

If you have any questions (or wish to request a copy of your Note), please contact the Fund’s administrator at (855) 890-7725.

 

Sincerely,
Blackstone Alternative Alpha Fund
