The Firm provides investment advisory services to the Funds. Investment advice is provided directly to the Funds, subject to the direction and control of the General Partner of the applicable Fund, and not individually to the limited partners of such Fund. Investors in Funds include high net worth individuals, banks, pension and profit-sharing plans, sovereign wealth funds, trusts, estates, charitable organizations, university endowments, corporations, limited partnerships and limited liability companies or other business entities. Investments in the Funds are subject to applicable eligibility requirements as set forth in the Confidential Private Placement Memorandum. Each investor in a Fund must be an “accredited investor” as defined in Regulation D under Securities Act and a “qualified purchaser” as defined in the 1940 Act. JLL offers co-investment opportunities for certain investors to invest alongside a Fund in certain Fund portfolio companies. As referenced in Item 4, above, co-investments have been structured either as (i) a separate Co-Investment Fund or (ii) a direct investment by certain investors into a portfolio investment or its holding or operating company. When structured as a Co-Investment Fund, JLL considers the investment to be a Fund client, identifies the Fund in its Form ADV Part 1, Schedule D, Section 7.B.(1), obtains an audit for the Fund, reserves the option to assess a Management Fee and Carried Interest on such Fund and includes the amount of assets of such CoInvestment Fund in the Firm’s regulatory assets under management. In the case of direct coinvestments, JLL does not consider the investment to be a Fund or a client, does not act as the investment manager to the co-investment portion of the investment, does not charge Management Fees or Carried Interest to the investment, does not have custody of the investment or include the amount of assets of the co-investment in the Firm’s regulatory assets under management. In such direct co-investment opportunities, JLL will perform management, advisory and other services for the portfolio companies in which these co-investors invest, generally at no cost to such co-investors except portfolio investment fees and expenses (which such fees and expenses are recorded at the portfolio investment). Opportunities to participate in co-investment transactions arise when JLL has the opportunity for an investment in an existing or prospective portfolio investment and JLL determines that (i) an investment requires additional capital, (ii) all or a portion of the applicable opportunity is not required to be offered to a Fund, (iii) the full investment opportunity is not appropriate for a Fund, whether due to concentration restrictions contained in the Fund’s Governing Documents or otherwise or (iv) JLL believes the Fund will benefit from the participation of the co-investor(s). Such determinations are based on the provisions of the applicable Governing Documents, side letter agreements, agreements with lenders and such other factors as JLL will consider in its sole discretion, including those specified in its policies on investment allocation and co-investments. Subject to any restrictions contained in the Governing Documents of the relevant Fund or any side letter or other terms negotiated with respect to such Fund, in general no investor has a right to
participate in any co-investment opportunity. JLL’s exercise of discretion in allocating coinvestment opportunities will not always result in proportional allocations among co-investors and such allocations can be more or less advantageous to some co-investors relative to other coinvestors. When co-investment opportunities are permitted, it is possible that the size of the investment opportunity otherwise available to the Fund will be less than it would otherwise have been without the inclusion of such co-investors. JLL will select the investors that are permitted to co-invest in a particular portfolio investment in its sole discretion based on various factors, including those detailed in its Governing Documents and as outlined in its internal policies and procedures. While one or more limited partners in the Funds are on occasion invited to co-invest in a Fund’s portfolio companies, JLL is authorized in its sole discretion to offer any or all of a co-investment opportunity to investors that are not limited partners in the Funds. Co-investment opportunities are made available to select Fund limited partners and third parties, including, without limitation, management or founders of the applicable portfolio investment, co-sponsors, strategic investors, lenders, investment bankers, deal sources (including finders and consultants), other sponsors (including other private equity or venture capital firms), service providers, Strategic Advisors, sector experts, Strategic Advisors, other persons or entities affiliated, associated or otherwise known to JLL or its personnel. Certain service providers, including lenders and individuals who source transactions, have in the past and are expected in the future to negotiate co-investment rights or co-investment priority rights as a component of their compensation in connection with the services provided. In certain cases, determinations to allocate such amounts or investment opportunities to vendors or service providers will be made prior to the determination of the availability of opportunity for other coinvestors, and as such generally will decrease the amount of co-investment opportunities available. JLL can cause some co-investors in a Co-Investment Fund to bear a Management Fee, Carried Interest or other fees while not imposing a Management Fee, Carried Interest or other fees (or imposing different fees) on other co-investors. In certain cases, co-investment opportunities can include opportunities to invest in Fund portfolio companies at a time when there is not a corresponding Fund investment or on different terms than a Fund investment. Some co-investors can be provided a board seat or observer rights at a JLL portfolio company. Such positions provide such persons with voting rights, access to information and potentially the ability to influence the operations and decision-making of the portfolio company that are not necessarily available to other investors. Although co-investments typically involve investment and disposal of interests in the applicable portfolio company at substantially the same time and on substantially the same terms as the Fund making the investment, co-investors are generally subject to different economic terms than the Fund. From time to time, for strategic and other reasons, a co-investor or Co-Investment Fund purchases a portion of an investment from a Fund after such Fund has consummated its investment in the portfolio company (also known as a post-closing sell-down or transfer). Any such purchase from a Fund by a co-investor or Co-Investment Fund generally occurs shortly after the Fund’s completion of the investment to avoid any changes in valuation of the investment; however, in certain instances, a post-closing sell-down or transfer could occur well after the Fund’s initial purchase. When co-investors purchase their interest from a Fund after the Fund has consummated the investment, the price paid by co-investors is typically determined by the Fund’s General
Partner in its sole discretion, which has the potential to result in a conflict of interest. The Funds will bear the risk that any co-investors acquiring an interest in an investment after the closing of such investment will acquire such interest on terms that do not reflect the then-current value of such investment. Where appropriate, and in JLL’s sole discretion, JLL reserves the right to charge interest on the purchase to the co-investor or co-invest vehicle (or otherwise equitably to adjust the purchase price under certain conditions), and to seek reimbursement to the relevant Fund for related costs. However, to the extent such amounts are not so charged or reimbursed, they generally will be borne by the relevant Fund. The price reimbursed to the Fund may not reflect the full cost incurred by the Fund in connection with the investment, any interest charge on the coinvestment amount, the cost of establishing the credit facility utilized to acquire the portfolio investment (if applicable) or the risk borne by the Fund in connection with purchasing and warehousing the investment. In either case, potential co-investors typically do not bear any transaction costs of investments that are not consummated and are not subject to the same risks to which a Fund is throughout the investment process. As fees paid by or on behalf of co-investors are not subject to a Management Fee offset and are thus retained by JLL, the opportunity to receive such fees presents a conflict of interest in that JLL could be incentivized to allocate a greater portion of an investment to a coinvestor than it would have otherwise allocated absent such an arrangement. JLL seeks to address any such potential conflict of interest by investing in accordance with its policies and procedures governing investment allocation and co-investments. In addition, to the extent that JLL engages in a secondary liquidity transaction in connection with an investment, co-investors will not necessarily receive the same liquidity options as limited partners in a Fund and may therefore be compelled to receive cash or continue to hold an interest in the investment, depending on the particular facts of the transaction. In the event JLL is not successful in offering a co-investment opportunity to potential co-investors, in whole or in part, it is possible that a Fund will consequently hold a greater concentration and have greater exposure in the related investment opportunity than was originally intended, which could make the Fund more susceptible to fluctuations in value resulting from adverse economic and/or business conditions with respect thereto and would result in a greater concentration of risk as a result. In addition, as a consequence of a failed co-investment syndication process or a coinvestment syndication on unattractive terms, a Fund would be required to (i) bear the entire portion of any break-up, topping or other fees, costs and expenses related to such investment (including the proportionate share of such amounts that were expected to have been borne by coinvestors), (ii) receive less-than-fair-market value for the syndicated portion of the investment and/or (iii) be diluted or realize lower than expected returns from such investment. To mitigate such risk, each investment is subject to concentration limits as described in the relevant Fund Governing Documents. Despite these concentration limits, it is possible an investment that is not syndicated to co-investors as originally anticipated could result in a significant impact to a Fund’s overall investment returns.
