Item 4: Advisory business Services
DG Capital Management, LLC has been in business since February 2007. DG Capital Advisors, LLC launched in 2021 and serves as a relying adviser to DG Capital Management, LLC. DG Capital Management, LLC and DG Capital Advisors, LLC are also referred to herein as the “Firm.” The principal owner of the Firm is Dov Gertzulin. The Firm provides investment advisory services to various private investment funds (“Funds”) and separately managed accounts (“Accounts”) on a discretionary basis. For purposes of this Brochure, “Client” may refer to a Fund, investors in Funds, an Account or investors in such Accounts. The Firm does not hold itself out as specializing in a particular type of advisory service. The Clients’ purpose is investing and trading in a wide variety of securities and financial instruments, domestic and foreign, primarily focusing on publicly traded credit and equity securities. In certain instances, upon Client request, the Firm may tailor its advisory services to the individual needs of Clients. Clients may impose restrictions on investing in certain securities or types of securities by specifying such restrictions in a written notice to the Firm. The Firm does not tailor its advisory to the individuals needs of investors in the Funds. The Firm provides discretionary investment advisory services to all fee paying Clients’ accounts. In connection with managing the investments of its Account Clients, such Accounts’ investment management agreements provide investment guidelines and parameters that provide the context within which the Firm renders its investment management services. As of December 31, 2025, the Firm manages approximately $521,852,085 of Client assets, all on a discretionary basis.
Item 5: Fees and compensation Fees
The Firm generally receives management fees for Clients, calculated periodically based on a percentage of the value of the assets under management (the “Management Fee”). Management Fees are billed monthly, in advance or in arrears and is generally at an annual rate of up to 1.75%, as specified in the relevant Client’s offering documents. In addition, the Firm collects incentive allocations/fees (the “Performance Fee”) based on the performance of investments. Please refer to Item 6 below, for a more detailed description of incentive allocations/fees, and related conflicts of interest. The Performance Fee is calculated based on a percentage of the capital appreciation as evaluated at the end of each calendar year. The Performance Fee will be payable annually in arrears. The fees of each Client are stated in the offering documents of that Client. Fees and fee terms may vary from Client to Client. Generally, the Clients bear all costs and expenses related to its investments and its operations, including, without limitation, brokerage and other transaction costs, clearing and settlement charges, trade break fees, consulting expenses, research expenses (including related travel expenses), legal fees and other expenses in connection with conducting due diligence and negotiating the terms of certain investments, custodial fees, initial and variation margin, interest and commitment fees on debit balances or borrowings, stock borrowing fees and proxy solicitation expenses, legal expenses, audit and tax preparation expenses, DG Capital Management, LLC | 420 Lexington Avenue, Suite 2745| New York, NY 10170| Tel: 646.942.5700 | Fax: 212.202.4639
accounting fees, the Funds/Accounts administration expenses (including, but not limited to, fees and expenses of any administrator), the direct and related costs of portfolio accounting software, fees and expenses for risk management services, insurance expenses including costs of any liability insurance obtained on behalf of the Funds/Accounts, indemnification expenses, the Management Fee, regulatory and compliance costs and expenses (including, but not limited to, filing and license fees and form PF), any issue or transfer taxes chargeable in connection with any securities transactions, any entity level taxes and fees, costs of reporting and providing information to partners/investors, and costs of litigation or investigation involving Funds/Accounts activities, and any extraordinary expenses. Generally, organizational costs of the Funds/Accounts and the costs incurred in connection with the initial issuance of interests, including legal and accounting fees, document production and printing costs, federal and state filing fees, and other related expenses, have been paid for by the Funds/Accounts. Such expenses are being amortized by the Funds/Accounts, for financial reporting purposes over a period of five years. Clients should review carefully Item 12, which discusses conflicts of interest related to brokerage practices. Clients pay brokerage commissions and/or transaction ticket fees charged by the custodian. If a contract with a Client is terminated before the end of a billing period, the Firm typically refunds any overpayment of fees pro rata based on the number of days remaining in the billing period.
Item 8: Methods of analysis, investment strategies and risk of loss Investment strategies and risks
The investment objective of the Clients is to achieve above average long-term rates of return, primarily through capital appreciation and income, while also attempting to preserve capital and mitigate risk through diversification of investments and hedging activities. No assurance can be given, however, that a Client will achieve its objective, and investment results may vary substantially from period to period. The Firm anticipates that most of the Clients’ assets will be invested in publicly traded credit and equity securities. In furtherance of its strategy, the Firm at times will also invest in private securities. The Firm may invest in companies of any market capitalization, geographic location or market sector and seek to purchase securities that are priced at a discount to intrinsic value, based on its research. The assets of the Clients will generally be invested in a focused manner. DG Capital Management, LLC | 420 Lexington Avenue, Suite 2745| New York, NY 10170| Tel: 646.942.5700 | Fax: 212.202.4639
The Clients’ investment position will generally be long-biased although it may be market neutral or have significant holdings in cash, depending on investment conditions. Additionally, the Clients may short securities or engage in other hedging transactions through options or other derivatives to offset risk. A Client also expects to invest a portion of its assets in “special situations,” where an event is expected to cause appreciation in the price of the security, as opposed to relying exclusively on business fundamentals or general market movements. While attention is paid to diversification across industries, the Funds currently expect to hold between 20 and 25 core positions. Investing in securities involves risk of loss that Clients should be prepared to bear. Risks Associated with the Firm’s Investment Strategies: Competition. The securities industry and the varied strategies and techniques to be engaged in by the Firm are extremely competitive and each involves a degree of risk. The Clients will compete with firms, including many of the larger securities and investment banking firms, which have substantially greater financial resources and research staffs. Market Volatility. The profitability of the Clients substantially depends upon the Firm correctly assessing the future price movements of stocks, bonds, options on stocks, and other securities and the movements of interest rates. The Clients cannot guarantee that the Firm will be successful in accurately predicting price and interest rate movements. Fund’s Investment Activities. The Funds’ investment activities involve a significant degree of risk. The performance of any investment is subject to numerous factors which are neither within the control of nor predictable by the Firm. Such factors include a wide range of economic, political, competitive and other conditions (including acts of terrorism and war) that may affect investments in general or specific industries or companies. The securities markets may be volatile, which may adversely affect the ability of the Funds to realize profits. As a result of the nature of the Funds’ investing activities, it is possible that the Funds’ financial performance may fluctuate substantially from period to period. Material Non-Public Information. By reason of their responsibilities in connection with other activities of the Firm and/or its affiliates, certain principals or employees of the Firm, may acquire confidential or material non-public information or be restricted from initiating transactions in certain securities. The Clients will not be free to act upon any such information. Due to these restrictions, a Client may not be able to initiate a transaction that it otherwise might have initiated and may not be able to sell an investment that it otherwise might have sold. Accuracy of Public Information. The Firm selects investments for a Client, in part, on the basis of information and data filed by issuers with various government regulators or made directly available to the Firm by the issuers or through sources other than the issuers. Although the Firm evaluates all such information and data and sometimes seeks independent corroboration when the Firm considers it is appropriate and when it is reasonably available, the Firm is not in a position to confirm the completeness, genuineness or accuracy of such information and data, and in some cases, complete and accurate information is not available. Investments may not perform as expected if information is inaccurate. Investments in Securities and Other Assets Believed to be Undervalued. The Firm’s investment program contemplates that a substantial portion of a Client portfolio will be invested in securities and other assets that the Firm believes to be undervalued. The identification of such investment opportunities is a difficult DG Capital Management, LLC | 420 Lexington Avenue, Suite 2745| New York, NY 10170| Tel: 646.942.5700 | Fax: 212.202.4639
task, and there are no assurances that such opportunities will be successfully recognized or acquired. While such investments offer the opportunities for above-average capital appreciation, they also involve a high degree of financial risk and can result in substantial losses. Returns generated from the Clients’ investments may not adequately compensate for the business and financial risks assumed. Such investments can sometimes include bonds and other fixed income securities, including, without limitation, commercial paper and “higher yielding” (and, therefore, higher risk) debt securities. It is likely that a major economic recession could severely disrupt the market for such investments and severely impact their value. In addition, it is likely that any such economic downturn could adversely affect the ability of the issuers of such obligations to repay principal and pay interest thereon and increase the incidence of default for such securities. Additionally, there can be no assurance that other investors will ever come to realize the value of some of these investments, and that they will ever increase in price. Furthermore, the Clients may be forced to hold such investments for a substantial period of time before realizing their anticipated value. During this period, a portion of the Clients assets would be committed to the investments made, thus possibly preventing the Clients from investing in other opportunities. Investments in Small Capitalization and Unseasoned Companies. The Firm’s investment program contemplates that a portion of the Clients’ portfolio may be invested in small and/or unseasoned companies with small market capitalization. While these companies generally have potential for rapid growth, they often involve higher risks because they may lack the management experience, financial resources, product diversification and/or competitive strength of larger and/or more established companies. In addition, in many instances, the frequency and volume of their trading may be substantially less than is typical of larger companies. As a result, the securities of smaller companies may be subject to wider price fluctuations. When making large sales, the Clients may have to sell portfolio holdings at discounts from quoted prices or may have to make a series of small sales over an extended period of time due to the lower trading volume of smaller company securities. Volatility of Currency Prices. The profitability of the Clients’ portfolio depends, in part, upon the Firm correctly assessing the future price movements of currencies. However, price movements of currencies are difficult to predict accurately because they are influenced by, among other things, changing supply and demand relationships; governmental, trade, fiscal, monetary and exchange control programs and policies; national and international political and economic events; and changes in interest rates. Governments from time to time intervene in certain markets in order to influence prices directly. The Clients cannot guarantee that the Firm will be successful in accurately predicting currency price and interest rate movements. Leverage. When deemed appropriate by the Firm and subject to applicable regulations, a Client may incur leverage in its investment program, whether directly through the use of borrowed funds, or indirectly through investment in certain types of financial instruments with inherent leverage, such as puts, calls and warrants, which may be purchased for a fraction of the price of the underlying securities while giving the purchaser the full benefit of movement in the market of those underlying securities. While such strategies and techniques increase the opportunity to achieve higher returns on the amounts invested, they also increase the risk of loss. To the extent a Client purchases securities with borrowed funds, its net assets will tend to increase or decrease at a greater rate than if borrowed funds are not used. The level of interest rates generally, and the rates at which such funds may be borrowed in particular, could affect the operating results of the Client. If the interest expense on this leverage were to exceed the net return on the investments made with borrowed funds, the Clients’ use of leverage would result in a lower rate of return than if the Client were not leveraged. If the amount of leverage which a Client may have outstanding at any one time is large in relation to its capital, fluctuations in the market value of the Clients’ portfolio will have disproportionately large effects DG Capital Management, LLC | 420 Lexington Avenue, Suite 2745| New York, NY 10170| Tel: 646.942.5700 | Fax: 212.202.4639
Item 7: Types of clients
The Firm’s Clients are private investment funds and separately managed accounts whose investors are individuals and institutions. Generally, the minimum investment in a Fund is $1,000,000, and the minimum subsequent investment is $50,000. In each case, however, the Firm has sole discretion to accept lesser amounts. Separately managed account terms are individually negotiated.
Item 6: Performance-based fees and side-by-side management Conflicts of interest
Performance Based Fees and Side-by-Side Management
Funds: In addition to the Management Fee, the Firm is compensated for its investment management services through a Performance Fee. Under this arrangement, an investor will be charged a fee contingent upon the performance within the investor’s account. The Performance Fee will be tied to the capital appreciation within the account as evaluated at the end of each applicable period. The Performance Fee will be payable annually, in arrears. The Firm shall also receive the Performance Fee upon any withdrawal by an investor, whether voluntary or involuntary, and upon dissolution of a Fund. Generally, the Performance Fee will be calculated at 20% of net capital appreciation attained within the investor’s account (net of all expenses, including any commissions, etc.). At times, the Firm, in its sole discretion, will waive or reduce the Performance Fee with respect to any investor for any period of time, or agree to modify the Performance Fee for that investor. The Firm, in its discretion, will reallocate a portion of the Performance Fee to certain investors. Separately Managed Accounts: Generally, the Firm receives from Clients a mutually agreed upon performance fee or allocation, as specified in the relevant investment management agreement. Typically, the performance fee or allocation will be comparable to that of a Fund and will be calculated at 20% of net capital appreciation attained within the Client’s account (net of all expenses, including any commissions, etc.). Clients who reside in the United States and who are charged performance fees or allocations are required to be qualified clients as defined under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940 (the “Advisers Act”). For certain Accounts, in order for the Firm to receive a Performance Fee, the Firm must achieve capital appreciation within the Account. The Firm will charge Performance Fees in adherence to a high water mark, which means that no Performance Fee will be earned unless the performance exceeds the previously achieved high water mark where Performance Fees were charged. The high water mark will be used in order to prevent a scenario whereby the Firm could receive a Performance Fee merely for recouping prior losses. A full description of the entire fee arrangement is disclosed to the Client in such Client’s investment management agreement. Fees generally are deducted directly from the Client’s account, as specified in the relevant investment management agreement. DG Capital Management, LLC | 420 Lexington Avenue, Suite 2745| New York, NY 10170| Tel: 646.942.5700 | Fax: 212.202.4639
The Firm’s receipt of Performance Fees is intended to align the Firm’s interests with those of the Firm’s Clients and to provide the Firm with a greater incentive to manage assets well. The nature of the Performance Fee, however, creates a potential conflict of interest among the Firm, its associated persons, and its Clients. Such fees will be structured and charged in a manner consistent with the requirements of applicable law, including the Advisers Act and ERISA. An incentive fee arrangement may create an incentive for the Firm to make investments that are riskier or more speculative than would be the case in the absence of a Performance Fee. Where any part of the Firm’s compensation is based in part on the unrealized appreciation of securities or instruments for which market quotations are not readily available, the Firm shall disclose how such securities or instruments will be valued and the extent to which the valuation will be determined independently. To the extent the Firm values any such securities or instruments independently, it has a conflict of interest as the Firm will receive higher Management Fees and Performance Fees if it gives such securities and instruments higher valuations. The Firm does not represent that the amount of the Performance Fees or the manner of calculating the Performance Fees is consistent with other performance related fees charged by other investment advisers under the same or similar circumstances. The Performance Fees charged by the Firm may be higher or lower than the Performance Fees charged by other investment advisers for the same or similar services. In addition, in the event the Firm manages a Client from which it collects Performance Fees and also manages at the same time a Client from which it does not collect Performance Fees, the Firm has an incentive to favor such Clients for which it receives Performance Fees because it will receive a greater profit from the Clients that are charged Performance Fees. Therefore, the Firm has an incentive to allocate investments that are expected to be more profitable to accounts from which it collects Performance Fees, on the one hand, and that are riskier on the other hand, since in both scenarios, the Firm may receive greater fees if the investment generates a positive return. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Firm reviews allocations among accounts to ensure that it does not favor accounts that pay Performance Fees.
Item 10: Other financial industry activities and affiliations Conflicts of interest
Neither the Firm nor its management persons has any existing or pending applications to register a brokerdealer or registered representative of a broker-dealer.
DG Capital Management, LLC | 420 Lexington Avenue, Suite 2745| New York, NY 10170| Tel: 646.942.5700 | Fax: 212.202.4639
Neither the Firm nor its management persons has any existing or pending applications to register as a Futures Commission Merchant (“FCM”), Commodity Pool Operator (“CPO”), Commodity Trading Advisor (“CTA”) or other investment adviser. The Firm and/or its management persons do not have a financial industry relationship or arrangement with a related person as set forth in the instructions to the Brochure that is material to its advisory business or to its clients. The Firm has the ability to recommend or select other investment advisers for its Clients, but does not currently do so. The Firm does not have other business relationships with other investment advisers that create a conflict of interest.
Item 11: Code of ethics, participation or interest in client transactions and personal trading Conflicts of interest
A copy of the code of ethics (“Code of Ethics”) is available upon request to Clients or prospective Clients by contacting the Chief Compliance Officer, Eric Evanter, at (646) 942-5700 or eevanter@dgcapitalmgmt.com. The Code of Ethics is based upon the premise that all Firm personnel have a fiduciary responsibility to render professional, continuous and unbiased investment advisory service. The Code of Ethics requires all personnel to: (1) comply with all applicable laws and regulations; (2) observe all fiduciary duties and put Client interests ahead of those of the Firm; (3) observe Firm’s personal trading policies so as to avoid “frontrunning” and other conflicts of interests between the Firm and its Clients; and (4) ensure that all personnel have read the Code of Ethics, agreed to adhere to the Code of Ethics, and are aware that a record of all violations of the Code of Ethics will be maintained by the Firm’s Chief Compliance Officer and that personnel who violate the Code of Ethics are subject to sanctions by Firm, up to and including termination. Participation or Interest in Client Transactions: Conflicts of interest may occur when the Firm or its related persons, invest in the same securities, trade in the same securities at or about the same time, or have a material financial interest in the same securities that the Firm recommends to its Clients. The Firm recognizes that the personal securities transactions of its employees demand the application of a high code of ethics, and the Firm requires that all such transactions be carried out in a way that does not endanger the interest of any Client. At the same time, the Firm believes that if investment goals are similar for Clients and for employees of the Firm, it is logical and even desirable that there be common ownership of some securities. The Firm and its related persons may invest their personal funds in the Funds and, therefore, such persons may hold an indirect interest in the same securities as other investors in the Funds. Further, a related entity of the Firm is the general partner of certain of the Funds. Therefore, in order to address conflicts of interest, Firm has adopted a set of procedures, included in its Code of Ethics, with respect to transactions effected by its officers, directors and employees (hereafter in this section, “Employees”) for their personal accounts. In order to monitor compliance with its personal trading policy, Firm has adopted a securities transaction reporting system for all of its Employees. Additionally, the Code of Ethics sets forth the Firm’s policies and procedures with respect to material, nonpublic information and other confidential information, and the fiduciary duties that the Firm and each of its Employees has to each of its Clients. The Code of Ethics is circulated to all Employees, and each Employee, upon hire, must certify in writing that he or she has received and followed the Code of Ethics and any amendments thereto.

Item 12: Brokerage practices Conflicts of interest
The factors that the Firm considers in selecting or recommending broker-dealers for Client transactions and determining the reasonableness of their compensation are described below. Securities transactions for Clients are executed through brokers selected by the Firm in its sole discretion and without the consent of the Clients. In placing portfolio transactions, the Firm will seek to obtain the best execution for the Clients, taking into account the following factors but not limited to: the ability to effect prompt and reliable executions at favorable prices (including the applicable dealer spread or commission, if any); the operational efficiency with which transactions are effected and the efficiency of error resolution, taking into account the size of order and difficulty of execution; the financial strength, integrity and stability of the broker; special execution capabilities; clearance; settlement; reputation; online pricing; block trading and block positioning capabilities; willingness to execute related or unrelated difficult transactions in the future; order of call; on-line access to computerized data regarding Clients’ accounts; performance measurement data; the quality, comprehensiveness and frequency of available research and related services considered of value; the availability of stocks to borrow for short trades; and the competitiveness of commission rates in comparison with other brokers satisfying the Firm’s other selection criteria. “Soft Dollar” Policy: The Firm has the authority to engage in soft dollar arrangements. The Firm will do so in accordance with the policies and procedures described below. A portion of expenses for research related products and services might be paid with “soft dollars” generated through the Funds/Accounts trading activities. It is anticipated that the use of commissions or “soft dollars” to pay for research products or services will fall within the safe harbor created by Section 28(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. In addition to research services, the Firm may be offered other non-monetary benefits by broker-dealers that it may engage to execute securities transactions on behalf of Clients. These benefits may take the form of special execution capabilities, clearance, settlement, online pricing, block trading and block positioning capabilities, willingness to execute related or unrelated difficult transactions in the future, order of call, online access to computerized data regarding Clients’ accounts, performance measurement data, consultations, economic and market information, portfolio strategy advice, industry and company comments, technical data, recommendations, general reports, efficiency of execution and error resolution, quotation equipment and services, the availability of stocks to borrow for short trades, custody, travel, record keeping and similar services. These other services may also include but are not limited to payment of all or a portion of the Clients’ or the Firm’s or its affiliates’ newswire and quotation equipment and services (e.g., Reuters, Bloomberg); data processing charges; and periodical subscription fees. The Firm has the option to use “soft dollars” generated by Clients to pay for the research and non-research related services described above. The term “soft dollars” refers to the receipt by an investment adviser of products and services provided by brokers, without any cash payment by the investment adviser, based on the volume of brokerage commission revenues generated from securities transactions executed through those brokers on behalf of the investment adviser’s clients. The products and services available from brokers include both internally generated items (such as research reports prepared by employees of the broker) as well as items acquired by the broker from third parties (such as quotation equipment). Section 28(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), provides a “safe harbor” to investment managers who use soft dollars generated by their advised accounts to obtain investment research and brokerage services that provide lawful and appropriate assistance to the investment adviser in DG Capital Management, LLC | 420 Lexington Avenue, Suite 2745| New York, NY 10170| Tel: 646.942.5700 | Fax: 212.202.4639
the performance of investment decision-making responsibilities. At present, the Firm only uses soft dollars to pay for research related expenses that are within the safe harbor of Section 28(e) of the Exchange Act. The use of brokerage commissions to obtain investment research services creates a conflict of interest between the Firm and Clients because the Clients pay for such products and services that are not exclusively for the benefit of Clients and that may be primarily or exclusively for the benefit of the Firm. To the extent that the Firm is able to acquire these products and services without expending its own resources (including management fees paid by Clients), the Firm’s use of soft-dollars would tend to increase the Firm’s profitability. In addition, the availability of these non-monetary benefits may influence the Firm to select one broker rather than another to perform services for Clients. In the event that Firm uses soft dollar benefits, the Firm will use such benefits to service all Client accounts rather than only those accounts that paid for the benefits. When the Firm uses Client brokerage commissions (or markups or markdowns) to obtain research or other products or services, the Firm receives a benefit because the Firm does not have to produce or pay for the research, products or services. The Firm may have an incentive to select or recommend a broker-dealer based on the Firm’s interest in receiving the research or other products or services, rather than on Clients’ interest in receiving most favorable execution. The Firm may cause Clients to pay commissions (or markups or markdowns) higher than those charged by other broker-dealers in return for soft dollar benefits (known as paying-up). Other Uses and Products: The Firm may use some products or services not only as “research” and as brokerage (i.e., to assist in making investment decisions for Clients or to perform functions incidental to transaction execution) but for the Firm’s administrative and other purposes as well. In these instances, the Firm may make a reasonable allocation of the cost of the products and services so that only the portion of the cost that is attributable to making investment decisions and executing transactions is paid with commission dollars and the Firm bears the cost of the balance. The Firm’s interest in making such an allocation differs from Clients’ interest, in that the Firm has an incentive to designate as much as possible of the cost as research and brokerage in order to minimize the portion that the Firm must pay directly. Brokerage for Client Referrals: The Firm reserves the right to pay a fee or commission, in its sole discretion, to brokers or other persons who introduce Clients or investors to the Firm, provided that any such fee or commission will be paid solely by the Firm or its affiliates and no portion thereof will be paid by Clients. As a result, the Firm may have an incentive to select or recommend a broker based on the Firm’s interest in receiving Client or investor referrals rather than on Clients’ or investors’ interest in receiving most favorable execution. Because such referrals, if any, are likely to benefit the Firm and its affiliates but will provide an insignificant (if any) benefit to Clients and investors, the Firm will have a conflict of interest when allocating brokerage business to a broker who has referred Clients or investors to the Firm. To prevent Client brokerage commissions from being used to pay referral fees, the Firm will not allocate Client brokerage business to a referring broker unless the Firm determines in good faith that the commissions payable to such broker are not materially higher than those available from non-referring brokers offering services of substantially equal value. During the last fiscal year, there were no directed Client transactions to a particular broker-dealer in return for Client referrals. DG Capital Management, LLC | 420 Lexington Avenue, Suite 2745| New York, NY 10170| Tel: 646.942.5700 | Fax: 212.202.4639
Directed Brokerage: The Firm does not recommend, request, or require a Client to direct the Firm to execute transactions through a specified broker-dealer. The Firm does not permit a Client to direct the Firm to execute transactions through a specified brokerdealer except, if agreed to in the relevant investment management agreement. Aggregation of Orders: The Firm may aggregate purchase and sale orders of investments held by a Client’s account with similar orders being made simultaneously for other accounts or entities if, in the Firm’s reasonable judgment, such aggregation is reasonably likely to result in an overall economic benefit to such Client based on an evaluation that the Client will be benefited by relatively better purchase or sale prices, lower commission expenses or beneficial timing of transactions, or a combination of these and other factors. In many instances, the purchase or sale of investments for a Client’s account will be effected simultaneously with the purchase or sale of like investments for other accounts or entities. Such transactions may be made at slightly different prices, due to the volume of investments purchased or sold. In such event, the average price of all investments purchased or sold in such transactions may be determined, at the Firm’s sole discretion, and the Client’s account may be charged or credited, as the case may be, with the average transaction price. Allocation of Trades: The Firm may at times determine that certain investments will be suitable for acquisition by Clients and by other accounts managed by the Firm, possibly including the Firm’s own accounts or accounts of an affiliate. If that occurs, and the Firm is not able to acquire the desired aggregate amount of such securities on terms and conditions which the Firm deems advisable, the Firm will endeavor in good faith to allocate the limited amount of such securities acquired among the various Clients for which the Firm considers them to be suitable. The Firm may make such allocations among the Clients in any manner which it considers to be fair under the circumstances, including but not limited to allocations based on relative account sizes, the degree of risk involved in the securities acquired, and the extent to which a position in such securities is consistent with the investment policies and strategies of the various accounts involved. It is the Firm’s policy to ensure that investment allocations are made among Clients in a manner that is fair and equitable over time.
Item 14: Client referrals and other compensation Conflicts of interest
The Firm receives certain research or other services from broker-dealers through “soft dollar” arrangements. “Soft dollar” arrangements may create an incentive for the Firm to select or recommend broker-dealers based on the Firm’s interest in receiving the research or other products or services and may result in the selection of a broker-dealer on the basis of considerations that are not limited to the lowest commission rates and may result in higher transaction costs than would otherwise be obtainable by the Firm on behalf of the Clients. The Firm’s soft dollar transactions are only effected in compliance with the safe harbor provided by Section 28(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. The Firm uses broker-dealers, placement agents and other persons to refer Clients and investors and pay a marketing fee or commission in connection with such activities, including ongoing payments, at the Firm’s own expense. In certain cases, the Firm reserves the right to deduct a percentage of the amount invested by a Client or investor to pay sales fees or charges, on a fully disclosed basis, to a broker-dealer, placement agent or other person based upon the investment of the Client or investor introduced to the Firm by such broker-dealer, placement agent or other person. Any such sales fees or charges shall be assessed against the referred Client or investor and shall reduce the amount actually invested by the Client or investor with the Firm.
Item 9: Disciplinary information
To date, there have been no legal or disciplinary events in which the Firm or any supervised persons have been involved that are material to a Client’s or prospective client’s evaluation of the Firm’s advisory business or management.
Item 13: Review of accounts
All accounts managed by the Firm are reviewed on a regular basis by the portfolio manager of the Firm, to determine whether positions should be maintained in light of emerging trends and developments as well as market volatility and current market conditions. Matters reviewed include specific securities held, adherence to investment guidelines and the performance of each Client account. Accounts are responsible for keeping the Firm informed as to any changes in their personal financial condition or risk tolerance and/or changes to restrictions. The daily review of the portfolio is the main triggering factor of a review of an account, but reviews may be also be triggered by changes in a Client’s circumstances, Client request, or unusual market activity. Clients may be contacted periodically by the Firm to discuss the management and performance of their Firm account. Reports showing performance are sent to Fund investors monthly by the Firm’s administrator. Reports showing performance are sent to Account investors monthly or quarterly by the Firm or by a qualified independent custodian. Each investor in the Fund also receives the following: (i) annual financial statements of the Fund, audited by an independent certified public accounting firm; (ii) in the discretion of the Firm or an affiliate of the Firm, a periodic letter and/or report discussing the results of the accounts; (iii) DG Capital Management, LLC | 420 Lexington Avenue, Suite 2745| New York, NY 10170| Tel: 646.942.5700 | Fax: 212.202.4639
copies of such investor’s Schedule K-1 to the Funds’ tax returns, as applicable; and (iv) other reports as determined by the Firm or an affiliate of the Firm in its sole discretion. Additionally, within 120 days of the calendar year-end or as soon as practicable thereafter, Fund investors shall receive GAAP-compliant written audited financial statements.
Item 15: Custody
The Firm maintains custody over the assets of the Funds, but not over the Accounts. With respect to the Funds, the Firm has custody of, the Firm complies with Rule 206(4)-2 of the Advisers Act (the “Custody Rule”) by meeting the conditions of the pooled vehicle annual audit provisions with respect to the assets it is deemed to have custody of. Such assets and securities are held at a qualified custodian or as otherwise permitted in accordance with the Custody Rule. As stated above in Item 13, Review of Accounts, reports and statements detailing holdings and activity will be provided by the qualified custodian (in the case of the Accounts) or the administrator (in the case of the Funds). These reports, and monthly statements, will typically identify the account holdings and a current valuation of such holdings. The Firm urges the Clients’ investors to carefully review all statements and reports they receive and whenever possible to compare the same or similar information on different reports. The Firm also urges the Clients’ investors to compare any reports received from the Firm with reports received from third-party administrators, custodians or valuation services. Firm personnel will be available to assist the account holder in reviewing and understanding such reports.
Item 16: Investment discretion
The Firm has discretionary investment authority over Client assets that are managed by the Firm. This authority is established through the subscription documents or investment management agreements completed and signed by each investor prior to its investment in a Client. Please refer to Item 4 for additional information related to the Firm’s investment guidelines.

Item 17: Voting client securities
The Firm votes Client proxies when it has discretionary authority to do so. The Firm’s proxy voting policy seeks to ensure that the Firm votes in a manner which it believes is in the best interest of the Clients, whether that is to increase shareholder value the most, decrease shareholder value the least, or with another objective in mind. Consideration is given to both the short and long-term implications of the proposal when voting. The Firm may abstain from voting for a variety of different reasons including but not limited to: (i) if it deems that abstinence is in its Client’s best interests, (ii) when it has determined that the vote is immaterial to the value of the securities held, (iii) if the costs related to the vote are disproportionate to the expected value of the vote, or (iv) if the Firm has sold the related security since the record date. Unless otherwise agreed to with a Client, the Firm has discretion to vote proxies and does not take direction from its Clients. When necessary, the Firm monitors for potential conflicts of interest between its Client’s interest and its own within the proxy voting process. In addition, if the Firm receives proxies for the same security held by more than one Firm Client, the Firm will vote the securities in the best interest of all of the Firm Clients. The Firm will monitor for any conflict of interests between such Clients. In addition, certain Client investments may not have any proxies to vote due to the nature of the asset. The Firm and its prime broker monitor corporate actions of those securities purchased on behalf of its Clients. Proxy votes will generally be submitted electronically but may be submitted by mail. Investors in the Fund can obtain information on how the proxies were voted and a description of Firm’s policies and procedures regarding proxy voting by requesting such information from the Chief Compliance Officer at (646) 942-5700 or eevanter@dgcapitalmgmt.com.
Item 18: Financial information
The Firm does not require or solicit prepayments of fees six months or more in advance. The Firm is not aware of any financial condition that is reasonably likely to impair its ability to meet its contractual commitments to Clients, nor has it been the subject of a bankruptcy petition since its inception.
