Item 4: Advisory business Services

A. Description of the Advisory Firm Samsara is a Delaware limited liability company that commenced operations in 2016 and has a principal place of business in Palo Alto, CA. Samsara’s founder and managing member is Srinivas “Srini” Akkaraju, MD, PhD. B. Types of Advisory Services Samsara provides discretionary investment advisory services to sophisticated, qualified investors through its private investment funds offered to investors in the United States and elsewhere (each, a “Fund” and collectively, together with any future private investment fund to which Samsara provides investment advisory services, the “Funds”). Affiliates of Samsara serve as the general partners of the Funds (the “GP Entities”). The GP Entities retain management authority over the business and affairs of the Funds, but delegate their investment discretion to Samsara. In accordance with SEC guidance, each GP Entity is subject to the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, as amended (“Advisers Act”) pursuant to Samsara’s registration. This Brochure also describes the business practices of the GP Entities, which operate as a single advisory business together with Samsara. Samsara is a venture capital firm which primarily provides investment advice on and manages investments in public and private securities and related assets and revenue streams of life sciences and health care companies (“Portfolio Companies”). These securities include but are not limited to: (1) equity securities; (2) warrants; (3) corporate debt securities, including convertible bonds; (4) options; (5) money market funds; and (6) private “non-public” investment opportunities. The activities of the Funds are governed by their limited partnership agreements, which specifies the investment guidelines and investment restrictions applicable to the Funds, and other offering documents (collectively, the “Governing Documents”) provided to the investors in the Funds (the “Investors”). Samsara manages the Funds’ investments pursuant to the Governing Documents. Samsara offers investment advice solely with respect to the investments made by the Funds. Such services consist of investigating, identifying, and evaluating investment opportunities, structuring, negotiating, and making investments on behalf of the Funds, managing and monitoring the performance of such investments, and disposing of such investments. In the future, Samsara may establish co-investment vehicles and may offer investments in the coinvestment vehicles to certain Investors of a Fund at the discretion of relevant GP Entity. There is no guarantee for any Investor in a Fund that it will be offered such co-investment opportunities. All decisions regarding whether and to whom to offer co-investment opportunities are made in the sole discretion of Samsara and/or the GP Entities subject to any restrictions contained in the Governing Documents of the Funds. C. Client Investment Objectives and Restrictions Samsara generally has broad and flexible investment authority with respect to the Funds. The Funds’ investment objectives and strategies are set forth in the Funds’ Governing Documents. All Investors are

provided with limited partnership agreement and other offering documents prior to making an investment. Investors are urged to carefully review those documents prior to making an investment in a Fund. Samsara tailors its investment advice to the Funds in accordance with the Funds’ investment objectives, guidelines, restrictions and strategy as set forth in the Governing Documents. Samsara does not tailor its advisory services to the individual needs of Investors. Since Samsara does not provide individualized advice to Investors, Investors must consider whether a particular Fund meets their investment objectives and risk tolerance prior to investing. Samsara and the GP Entities have entered into side letter agreements with certain Investors. Side letters are negotiated prior to investment and may establish rights that supplement or alter the terms of the Governing Documents. Pursuant to such side letters, Samsara, or the GP Entities, have granted rights to certain Investors which are generally not available to other Investors (including without limitation, advisory committee representation, certain transparency rights, reporting rights, and confidentiality). Once invested in a Fund, Investors generally cannot impose additional investment guidelines, restrictions or other requirements on the Fund. D. Wrap Fee Programs Samsara does not participate in wrap fee programs. E. Assets Under Management As of December 31, 2025, Samsara had $2,170,095,404 in regulatory assets under management on a discretionary basis. Samsara does not currently manage any client assets on a non-discretionary basis.

Item 5: Fees and compensation Fees

A. Advisory Fees and Compensation. Investors and prospective investors should refer to the Governing Documents of a Fund for a detailed description of the fees. The Funds generally compensate Samsara with a management fee based on a combination of committed capital, the cost basis of certain investments then-owned by each Fund and in some cases the net assets of the Fund (the “Management Fee”). In addition, performance-based compensation, based on the net profits allocated to each investor and calculated on a high watermark basis (the “Incentive Allocation”), is allocated to the applicable GP Entity. Samsara may waive the Management Fee and Incentive Allocation for investors that are partners or employees of Samara or the GP Entities. Otherwise, the Management Fee and Incentive Allocation are generally not negotiable. B. Payment of Fees. Samsara deducts fees directly from a Fund’s assets. Investors do not have the ability to choose to be billed directly for fees. Management Fees are generally deducted quarterly in advance as specified in the Governing Documents. The Incentive Allocation is paid to the applicable GP Entity when earned.

C. Other Fees and Expenses. As set forth in the Governing Documents, each Fund bears all costs and expenses incurred in the holding, purchase, sale or exchange of securities (whether or not ultimately consummated), including, but not by way of limitation, private placement fees, finder’s fees, interest on borrowed money, real property or personal property taxes on investment, including documentary, recording, stamp and transfer taxes, brokerage fees or commissions, legal fees, legal and compliance expenses (including expenses related to regulatory filings, blue sky and corporate filing fees, expenses incurred in connection with the investigation prosecution or defense of any claims by or against the Fund, including claims or investigations by or against a governmental authority, audit and accounting fees (including custody audit, if any), third-party consulting fees relating to investments or proposed investments, taxes applicable to the Fund on account of its operations, fees incurred in connection with the maintenance of bank or custodian accounts, and all expenses incurred in connection with the registration of the Fund’s securities under applicable securities laws or regulations. Each Fund also bears expenses incurred by the GP Entity in serving as partnership representative, the reasonable cost of liability and other premiums for insurance protecting the Fund, the GP Entity, the members, and Samsara and its employees from liability to third parties (including directors & officers and errors & omissions insurance costs) arising out of or related to the affairs of the Fund, all out-of-pocket expenses of preparing and distributing reports to investors, outof-pocket expenses associated with Fund communications with investors, including preparation of annual or other reports to the limited partners, out-of-pocket costs associated with Fund meetings or advisory committee matters, all legal, accounting and administrator fees relating to the Fund and its activities, all costs and expenses arising out of the Fund’s indemnification obligation, and any other expenses related to the purchase, sale or transmittal of Fund assets. Each Fund also bears all organizational and syndication costs, fees, and expenses by or on behalf of the GP Entity in connection with the formation and organization of the Fund and the GP Entity, including legal and accounting fees and expenses subject to the terms and limitations set for in the Fund’s Governing Document. Each Fund may be deemed to be paying for research and other services with bundled commission arrangements including soft dollars. Refer to Item 12 – Brokerage Practices for further information. Samsara, the GP Entities, or their members, or employees may receive management service, advisory, consultant, transaction, break-up or broken deal fees, or similar fees from Portfolio Companies, and 100% of such fees will offset the Management Fees payable to Samsara. In addition, Samsara, the GP Entities, or their members, or employees may receive director or consulting fees from Portfolio Companies in the form of cash, restricted or unrestricted stock or stock options (“Board Fees”). Any Board Fees in excess of $100,000 per year per Portfolio Company will generally 100% offset the Management Fee payable to Samsara, subject to the terms of the Governing Documents. These fees, and the associated conflicts of interest they present, are further described in Item 11 below. Investors and prospective investors should refer to the Governing Documents of a Fund for detailed information with respect to the fees and expenses they may pay in connection with an investment in such Fund. The information contained herein is a summary only and is qualified in its entirety by such Governing Documents. For further information regarding brokerage practices, please see “Item 12 – Brokerage Practices.” D. Prepayment of Fees. Management Fees are generally paid quarterly in advance, as of the first day of each calendar quarter, as specified in each Fund’s Governing Documents. Upon termination of investment management services, Management Fees that have been prepaid are returned on a prorated basis.

E. Additional Compensation and Conflicts of Interest. Samsara does not accept compensation for the sale of securities or other investment products, including asset-based sales charges or service fees.

Item 8: Methods of analysis, investment strategies and risk of loss Investment strategies and risks

A. Investment Strategies and Methods of Analysis. Samsara is a discretionary asset management firm pursuing a fundamentally-driven approach to life sciences investing. Samsara typically takes a large, concentrated positions in securities of life sciences companies with the potential for significant value creation over the long term. Samsara’s positions can constitute a significant portion of the capital structure of the companies in which it invests and Samsara may seek an active dialogue with the management of those companies. Given its large, concentrated and relatively long-term investment strategy, as well as the volatile securities within its investible universe, Samsara expects returns to be volatile. Samsara’s investment team generally meets on a weekly basis to discuss the current portfolio, prospective positions, deal flow, industry developments, scientific developments and publications, on-going research, and overall market themes. In evaluating securities, the main sources of information used by Samsara include, but are not limited to publicly available filings with the SEC, including annual reports and prospectuses; research materials prepared by third parties; company press releases; statements and presentation of companies and of researchers at industry, medical, and scientific conferences; scientific and medical literature, journals and publicly-disclosed study results, interviews of industry experts, including medical doctors and research scientists; primary research, such as direct surveys; and meetings with corporate management. Samsara

generates internally all of the analysis that it ultimately relies upon to make investment decisions, sometimes, using as inputs into this analysis outside sources of information, including, primarily, those described above. B. Material Risks Relating to Investment Strategies. An investment in a Fund involves a significant degree of risk that Investors should be prepared to bear. No guarantee or representation is made that a Fund will achieve its investment objective or that investors will not lose all or substantially all of their investment in the Fund. Purchases of interests in a Fund are suitable only for investors of substantial financial means who can make a long-term investment, can bear the risk of loss of their entire investment in the Fund and have no need for liquidity of their investment. The following is a summary of certain principal risks involved with Samsara’s investment strategy and its methods, described in Item 4 and Item 8.A above. The list below does not attempt to describe every possible principal risk associated with investing in a Fund. For a complete description of the risks involved in a particular strategy, please refer to the Governing Documents which contain additional disclosure of risks. Each investor in a Fund is provided with such risk disclosures in the Governing Documents. Risk Inherent in Venture Capital Investments. The types of investments that a Fund makes involve a high degree of risk. In general, financial and operating risks confronting Portfolio Companies can be significant. While targeted returns should reflect the perceived level of risk in any investment situation, there can be no assurance that a Fund will be adequately compensated for risks taken. A loss of an Investor’s entire investment is possible. In addition, the markets that such companies target are highly competitive and in many cases the competition consists of larger companies with access to greater resources. The timing of profit realization is highly uncertain. Early-stage and development-stage companies often experience unexpected problems in the areas of product development, manufacturing, marketing, financing and general management, which, in some cases, cannot be adequately solved. In addition, such companies may require substantial amounts of financing which may not be available through institutional private placements or the public markets. The percentage of companies that survive and prosper can be small. Investments in more mature companies in the expansion or profitable stage involve substantial risks. Such companies typically have obtained capital in the form of debt and/or equity to expand rapidly, reorganize operations, acquire other businesses, or develop new products and markets. These activities by definition involve a significant amount of change in a company and could give rise to significant problems in sales, manufacturing, and general management of these activities. Investment in Companies Dependent Upon New Scientific Developments and Technologies in the Biotechnology and Medical Device industries. The Funds plan to focus a majority of their investing on biotechnology and medical device companies. The specific risks faced by biotechnology and medical device companies include:

rapidly changing science and technologies;

new competing products and improvements in existing products which may quickly render existing products or technologies obsolete;

exposure, in certain circumstances, to a high degree of government regulation, making these companies susceptible to changes in government policy and failures to secure, or unanticipated delays in securing, regulatory approvals;

risks inherent in pre-clinical and clinical trials;

dependence on the development and maintenance of strategic and collaborative relationships with corporate partners, government agencies, research institutions, universities and hospitals in cases where such relationships are important to the development of a product;

difficulty of manufacturing certain products on a large scale or marketing such products economically;

Medicaid and third-party payer attempts to reduce reimbursement rates and other changes in reimbursement coverage;

inability to market products due to the proprietary rights of competitors;

scarcity of management, technical, scientific, research and marketing personnel with appropriate training;

the possibility of lawsuits related to patents and intellectual property; and

changing investor sentiments and preferences with regard to healthcare sector investments (which are generally perceived as risky).

Certain Legal and Regulatory Risks In Life Sciences Portfolio Companies. Legal and regulatory changes could occur during the term of a Fund that may adversely affect the Fund. The products of Portfolio Companies and some Fund assets may be subject to extensive and rigorous regulation by United States local, state and federal regulatory authorities and by foreign regulatory bodies. There can be no assurance that products developed by a Fund’s Portfolio Companies will ever be approved by such governmental authorities. Prior to the grant of marketing approvals by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration and corresponding regulatory authorities outside of the U.S., some of the products of Portfolio Companies may be required to undergo extensive investigation and clinical trials to meet stringent safety and efficacy requirements. There have been instances when the discovery of previously unknown problems with a product, manufacturer or facility have resulted in restrictions on the use or the manufacture of such product, including costly recalls or even withdrawal of the product from the market. Such events, whether voluntary or mandated by a regulatory authority, typically result in an immediate reduction or discontinuation of revenues from the product worldwide. If such an event were to occur, it would likely have a significant and adverse effect on the performance of a particular product or associated royalty interest and could have a material adverse effect on the aggregate performance of a Fund. Risks Associated with the Life Sciences / Healthcare Industry. The life science and healthcare industry is dominated by large multi-national corporations with substantially greater financing and technical resources than generally will be available to a Fund’s Portfolio Companies. Such large corporations may be better able to adapt to the challenges presented by continuing rapid and major scientific, regulatory, and technological changes as well as related changes in governmental and thirdparty reimbursement policies. Many of the Funds’ Portfolio Companies will be at least partially dependent for their success upon governmental and third-party reimbursement policies that are under constant review and are subject to change at any time. Any such change could adversely affect the viability of one or more Portfolio Companies. Within the life science, healthcare, medical device, and

biotechnology industries, the development of products generally is a costly and time-consuming process. Many highly promising products ultimately fail to be proven safe and effective. Products under development and pre-clinical testing generally will require extensive clinical testing prior to application for commercial use. There can be no assurance that the research or product development efforts of the Funds’ Portfolio Companies or those of their collaborative partners will be successfully completed, that specific products can be manufactured in adequate quantities at an acceptable cost and with appropriate quality, or that such products can be successfully marketed or achieve customer acceptance. Many of the Funds’ Portfolio Companies will depend heavily upon intellectual property for their competitive position. There can be no assurance that the Funds’ Portfolio Companies will be able to obtain patents for key inventions. Moreover, within the life sciences/healthcare industry, patent challenges are frequent. Even if patents held by a Fund’s Portfolio Companies are upheld, any challenges thereto may be costly and distracting to the Portfolio Companies’ management. Reliance on Samsara and its Managing Members. Samsara has sole discretion over the investment of the capital committed to a Fund as well as the ultimate realization of any profits. The Investors do not receive the detailed financial information issued by Portfolio Companies that is available to the Fund. Accordingly, Investors in a Fund will not have the opportunity to evaluate the relevant economic, financial and other information that will be utilized by Samsara in its selection of investments. As such, the pool of funds in each Fund represents a blind pool of funds. The Investors will be relying on Samsara to identify, structure, and implement investments consistent with each Fund’s investment objectives and policies and to conduct the business of the Fund as contemplated by the Governing Documents. The loss of one or more of Samsara’s managing members would likely have a significant adverse impact on the business of the Funds. No assurances can be given that the managing members will continue to be affiliated with Samsara throughout a Fund’s term. Notwithstanding any prior experience that the managing members of Samsara may have in making investments of the type expected to be made by a Fund, any such experience necessarily was obtained under different market conditions and with different technologies at the forefront of development. There can be no assurance that the managing members and/or Samsara will be able to duplicate prior levels of success. Reliance on Portfolio Company Management. Although Samsara may seek representation on the board of directors of each of the Portfolio Companies, Funds will not have an active role in the day-to-day management of the companies in which it invests. To the extent that the senior management of a Portfolio Company performs poorly, or if a key manager terminates employment, a Fund’s investment in such company could be adversely affected. Service on Board of Directors; Insider Status; material non-Public Information. An officer, employee or other representative of Samsara may serve as a director of a Portfolio Company, or a Fund may be deemed to beneficially own more than 10% of the outstanding stock of a class of a Portfolio Company. As a result, under section 16 of the Exchange Act, a Fund may have to disgorge any profits from purchases and sales of the securities of any such Portfolio Company within any 6-month period. In addition, if Samsara is deemed an affiliate of such a company, Rule 144 under the Securities Act may restrict a Fund from selling more than 1% of the total outstanding common stock of any such Portfolio Company in any 3-month period. If Samsara obtains material non-public information about a Portfolio Company or during periods when directors of such Portfolio Company and their affiliates are prohibited from purchasing or selling such Portfolio Company’s securities, a Fund may be prohibited from buying or selling such securities when doing so otherwise might benefit the Fund. Lack of Information for Monitoring and Valuing a Fund’s Assets; Valuation. Despite Samsara’s efforts to acquire sufficient information to monitor certain of a Fund’s investments and make wellinformed valuation and pricing determinations, where a security is subject to lack of available price quotations, Samsara may only be able to obtain limited information at certain times and, in some cases,

Item 7: Types of clients

Samsara provides investment advisory services to the Funds. All Investors in the Funds are “accredited investors” (as defined in Regulation D under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”)), “qualified clients” (as defined in Rule 205-3 under the Advisers Act) and “qualified purchasers” or “knowledgeable employees” (as defined in section 2(a)(51) of the Investment Company Act of 1940, amended (“Investment Company Act”) or Rule 3c-5 thereunder)). Admission to the Funds is not open to the general public. Samsara does not have a minimum size for a Fund, and minimum investment commitments by Investors are determined at the discretion of the GP Entities.

Item 6: Performance-based fees and side-by-side management Conflicts of interest

As described in Item 5.A above, each GP Entity receives performance-based compensation from the applicable Fund. The Incentive Allocation may create an incentive for Samsara to make investments that are riskier or more speculative than would be the case in the absence of such performance compensation. Notwithstanding this potential incentive, Samsara will evaluate investments in a manner that it considers to be in the best interest of a Fund, given the Fund’s investment objectives, investment strategies, suitability of the investment, and risk profile.

Item 10: Other financial industry activities and affiliations Conflicts of interest

Neither Samsara nor its management persons is registered, or has an application pending to register, as: (i) a broker-dealer; (ii) a registered representative of a broker-dealer; (iii) a futures commission merchant; (iv) a commodity pool operator; (v) a commodity trading advisor; or (vi) is an associated person of any of (iii), (iv) or (v).

The GP Entities are related persons of Samsara and serve as the general partners of the Funds. In connection therewith, the GP Entities maintain investments in the Funds and provide administrative services to the Funds. As described in Item 6, the GP Entities are entitled to receive an Incentive Allocation from the Funds, which may in certain circumstances create a conflict of interest, as described in Item 6 above.

Item 11: Code of ethics, participation or interest in client transactions and personal trading Conflicts of interest

Samsara has adopted a Code of Ethics (the “Code”) in accordance with Rule 204A-1 under the Advisers Act to foster compliance with applicable federal statutes and regulatory requirements, minimize circumstances that may lead to or give the appearance of conflicts of interest with clients, insider trading, or unethical business conduct as well as promote a culture of high ethical standards. Current and prospective investors may obtain a copy of the Code by contacting the Chief Compliance Officer at the information listed on the first page of this Brochure. The Code describes Samsara’s fiduciary duties and responsibilities to each Fund, requires that Samsara employee’s act in the best interests of each Fund to the exclusion of contrary interest, act in good faith and in an ethical manner, avoid conflicts of interest with the Funds to the extent reasonably possible, and identify and manage conflicts of interest to the extent that they arise. Samsara employees are also required to comply with applicable provisions of the federal securities laws and make prompt reports to Samsara or other appropriate party of any actual or suspected violations of such laws or of the Code by Samsara or its employees. The Code also contains Samsara’s insider trading policies and procedures, which are designed to prevent the misuse of material non-public information by Samsara and its officers, directors and employees. In accordance with these policies, to prevent trading of public securities based on material, non-public information, Samsara maintains, regularly updated and makes available to tis employees a “restricted” securities list. Public companies about which Samsara has or is expected to have, material, non-public information are generally placed on the restricted list. While an issuer is on the restricted list, Samsara and each person subject to the insider trading policy is generally prohibited from purchasing, selling or recommending the purchase or sale of that issuer’s securities in personal accounts. Samsara employees must provide Samsara’s Chief Compliance Officer with reporting as to their personal account and securities transactions. In addition, with the prior written approval of the Chief Compliance Officer, an employee may enter into a transaction in certain types of limited offerings (i.e., an offering that is exempt from registration under the Securities Act pursuant to Section 4(a)(2), Section 4(6), Rule 504, Rule 505 or Rule 506 thereunder). Employees are required to disclose their personal holdings and transactions on a quarterly and annual basis, as well as certify on a quarterly and annual basis as to the completeness of the reported holdings and transactions. The GP Entities are related persons of Samsara and serve as the general partners of the Funds. The GP Entities also commit capital to the Funds, and as a result every investment made by the Funds involves a purchase of securities whereby related persons of Samsara acquire an indirect interest in such securities. The fact the GP Entities have a financial interest in the Funds could create a potential conflict in that it could cause Samsara to make different investment decisions than if the GP Entities did not have such a financial ownership interest. However, Samsara believes that these financial interests align Samsara’s incentives with Investors.

Samsara, or an affiliate, may form co-investment vehicles to co-invest in one or more Portfolio Companies. Co-investment opportunities may not be offered to all Investors. In certain limited instances, Samsara and/or its employees may give advice and take action for their own accounts that may differ from advice given and action taken on behalf of a Fund. In addition, and as described above, Samsara and/or its employees may invest in third-party private investment funds that invest in some of the same securities as Samsara invests in on behalf of a Fund. Further, from time to time, Samsara and/or its employees may have an investment in position or interest in the same securities recommended to or owned by a Fund. As such, Samsara may purchase or sell for a Fund securities of an issuer in which Samsara and/or its employees also have an investment position or interest. Finally, Samsara and/or its employees may hold an interest in securities prior to a Fund initiating a position in such securities. Samsara seeks to address the above conflicts through regular monitoring of each Fund’s portfolios for consistency with objectives, strategies, and target capacity. Further, Samsara carefully considers the risks involved in any investments and Samsara provides extensive disclosure to Investors regarding the potential risks that come with an investment with Samsara. As stated in Item 11.A, the Code provides guidelines for identifying and addressing conflicts of interest. In addition, each Fund has a limited partner advisory committee (“LPAC”) comprised of certain Investors in such Fund. The LPAC advises Samsara on issues relating to conflicts of interest. Samsara typically consults with the LPAC if a conflict of interest described in this Item 11 arises with respect to a Fund.

Item 12: Brokerage practices Conflicts of interest

Samsara has discretion to determine the broker or dealer to be used for each securities transaction for the Funds, and Samsara has complete discretion in deciding the broker-dealer to be used for a particular transaction. Samsara need not solicit competitive bids and may not necessarily select the broker or dealer based on lowest pricing. In selecting broker-dealers on the basis of seeking best execution and other relevant considerations, Samsara will consider the following non-exhaustive factors: price quotes; the size of the transaction and ability to find liquidity; timeliness of execution; confidentiality; expertise in the specific financial instrument or sector, the nature of the market for the financial instrument; presence in the market of the financial instrument or sector or particular position; the broker-dealer’s financial stability; reputation; prior experience with the broker, including with respect to diligence, fairness, and integrity quality of research services; and other factor deemed appropriate by Samsara. It is not Samsara’s practice to negotiate “execution only” commission rates; thus Samsara may be deemed to be paying for research, brokerage or other services provided by the broker which are included in the rate. Samsara maintains policies and procedures to ensure the periodic review of broker dealer services and executions. Section 28(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, is a “safe harbor” that permits an investment manager to use commissions or “soft dollars” to obtain research and brokerage services that provide lawful and appropriate assistance in the investment decision-making process. Except for services that would be a Fund expense or as otherwise described below, Samsara will limit the use of “soft dollars” to obtain service which constitute research and brokerage with the meaning of Section 28(e). Research services within Section 28(e) may include, but are not limited to, research projects (including market research and medical journals); certain financial and medical newsletters and trade journals; software providing analysis of securities portfolios; corporate governance research and rating services;

attendance at certain seminars and conferences; discussions with research analysts; meeting with corporate executives; consultants’ advice on portfolio strategy; data services (including services providing market data, company financial data and economic data); advice from brokers on order execution; and certain proxy services. Brokerage services within Section 28(e) may include, but are not limited to, services related to the execution, clearing and settlement of securities transactions and functions incidental thereto (i.e., connectivity services between Samsara and a broker-dealer and other relevant parties such as custodians); trading software operated by a broker-dealer to route orders; software that provides trade analytics and trading strategies; software used to transmit orders; clearance and settlement in connection with a trade; electronic communication of allocation instructions; routing settlement instructions; post trade matching of trade information; and services required by the SEC or a selfregulatory organization such as comparison services, electronic confirms or trade affirmation. The use of commissions arising from a Fund’s investment transactions for services other than research and brokerage will be limited to services that would otherwise be a Fund expense. The use of commissions to obtain such other services would be outside the parameters of Section 28(e). In some instances, Samsara may receive a product or service that may be used only partially for functions within Section 28(e) (e.g., an order management system, trade analytical software, proxy service). In such instances, Samsara will make a good faith effort to determine the relative proportion of the product or service used to assist Samsara in carrying out its investment decision-making responsibilities and the relative proportion used for administrative or other purposes outside Section 28(e). The proportion of the product or service attributable to assisting Samsara in carrying out its investment decision-making responsibilities will be paid through brokerage commission generated by client transactions and the proportion attributable to administrative or other purposes outside Section 28(e) will be paid for by Samsara from its own resources with the exception of products or service that would otherwise be a Fund expense, which will still be paid for through brokerage commissions. When Samsara uses Fund commissions to obtain products and services, Samsara’s Best Execution Committee meet quarterly to review and evaluate its soft dollar practices and to determine whether, the commissions used to obtain those products and services were reasonable in relation to the value of the products or services provided by the broker-dealer. This determination is viewed in terms of either the specific transaction or Samsara’s overall responsibilities to the accounts over which Samsara exercises investment discretion. Although Samsara will make a good faith determination that the amount of commissions paid is reasonable in light of the products or services provided by a broker, commissions rates are generally negotiable and thus, selecting broker-dealers on the basis of considerations that are not limited to the applicable commission rates may result in higher transaction costs than would other be obtainable.

Item 14: Client referrals and other compensation Conflicts of interest

As Samsara’s advisory clients are the Funds, Samsara does not provide compensation for client referrals. However, the Funds utilize certain placement agents to introduce Investors to the Funds. Pursuant to the Governing Documents, any placement agent fees paid by a Fund are subject to an offsetting reduction in Management Fees.

Item 9: Disciplinary information

Samsara and its management persons have not been the subject of any material legal or disciplinary proceedings required to be disclosed in response to this item.

Item 13: Review of accounts

Samsara performs various daily, weekly, monthly, quarterly and periodic reviews of the Funds. These reviews are conducted by Samsara’s (1) portfolio manager, (2) senior investment professionals, (3) individual in charge of finance, and (4) Samsara’s third-party independent fund administrator. The Funds undergo an annual audit, which as of the date of this Brochure, is performed by KPMG. The Funds’ third-party independent administrator also independently confirms pricing, valuation, and fee calculations on a monthly basis. On a quarterly basis, Investors in the Funds will receive unaudited financial statements and a summary of acquisitions and dispositions of investments made by the applicable Fund during such quarter. In addition, Investors in the Funds will receive annual audited financial statements following the fiscal year-end, as well as capital account statements balances, investment summaries, market summaries, and other narrative

descriptions of the events of the prior fiscal year. Samsara also may, from time to time, provide other information to investors at Samsara’s discretion that it deems advisable and desirable.

Item 15: Custody

Pursuant to Rule 206(4)-2 under the Advisers Act (the “Custody Rule”), Samsara is deemed to have custody of the assets held by the Funds because an affiliate of Samsara (the GP Entities) serve as the general partners of the Funds. To comply with the Custody Rule, Samsara arranges for each Fund to be subject to an annual audit by an independent public accountant registered with, and subject to regular inspection by, the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (“PCAOB”) and for the audited financial statements of the Funds to be prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and distributed to Investors within 120 days of the end of the applicable Fund’s fiscal year. Investors should carefully review the audited financial statements of a Fund upon receipt, and should compare these statements to any account information provided by Samsara. As Samsara’s investment program involves some investments in privately offered securities issued by venture capital stage operating companies, Samsara generally will be exempt from the requirement that such securities be maintained with a “qualified custodian.” Samsara anticipates that many of its investments will involve securities that are (i) acquired from the issuer in a transaction or chain of transactions not involving any public offering; (ii) uncertificated, and ownership thereof is recorded only on the books of the issuer or its transfer agent in the name of the client; and (iii) transferable only with prior consent of the issuer or holders of the issuer’s outstanding securities. To the extent that Samsara holds any publicly traded securities or securities which are otherwise ineligible for an exemption from the qualified custodian requirement of the Custody Rule, Samsara will maintain such securities with a qualified custodian in an account in the name of each Fund or in accounts that contain only funds and securities owned by a Fund, under Samsara’s name as agent or trustee for the Fund.

Item 16: Investment discretion

Samsara has discretionary authority to manage securities accounts on behalf each Fund. Samsara is authorized to make transaction recommendations to the Funds. As explained in Item 4 above, each Fund’s investment strategy is set forth in detail in the Governing Documents. Investors do not have the ability to impose limitations on Samsara’s discretionary authority.

Item 17: Voting client securities

Samsara has adopted written proxy voting policies and procedures in accordance with Rule 206(4)-6 of the Advisers Act. In voting proxies for a Fund, Samsara is guided by general fiduciary principles. Samsara’s goal is to act prudently and in the best interest of the Fund, and accordingly of investors in the Fund. Samsara seeks to consider all positive and negative consequences its vote could have on the value of the investment. When Samsara votes proxies, Samsara does so in a manner that it believes will be consistent with efforts to maximize the value of the applicable Fund’s positions. In its discretion, Samsara may choose not to vote on a particular proxy. If Samsara encounters an identifiable conflict of interest with respect to a particular vote, with sufficient time before a vote, the managing member of Samsara and the Chief Compliance Officer will determine how to vote the proxy consistent with the best interests of the applicable Fund and in a manner not affected by the conflict of interest. The managing member of Samsara and the Chief Compliance Officer may opt for a voting procedure by which guidance is sought from outside legal counsel on matters involving a material conflict of interest. Investors may not direct Samsara as to how to vote in a particular solicitation. Investors may obtain a copy of Samsara’s proxy voting policies and procedures and information about how Samsara voted a proxy by contacting the Chief Compliance Officer at the contact information listed on the first page of this Brochure.
