STEADFAST CAPITAL MANAGEMENT LP

SCM serves as discretionary investment manager to private investment funds that are currently offered only to financially sophisticated institutional and high net worth investors. Steadfast Financial LP (“SF”), an affiliate of SCM, also provides services to the Funds (as defined below) in accordance with a service agreement with SCM. SCM and SF are collectively referred to as “Steadfast.” As of December 31, 2025, Steadfast manages American Steadfast, L.P., Steadfast International Ltd., and Steadfast International Master Fund Ltd. (collectively, the “Funds”). Steadfast provides discretionary investment advice to the Funds. Steadfast has broad and flexible investment authority over the Funds.

Steadfast seeks to generate attractive rates of return over the long term by investing primarily in publicly traded securities, both long and short. Although Steadfast seeks to make competitive returns on investment for its clients, Steadfast emphasizes the preservation of capital and the avoidance of large draw downs, especially in declining markets. Steadfast believes that a disciplined approach based on intensive research, a focus on the direction of underlying company fundamentals, and portfolio diversification can provide attractive returns on capital without undue risk to principal. Asset valuation and bottom-up research drive our investment decision making process. Investment decisions at Steadfast are made through a decentralized but coordinated structure built around our Portfolio Managers, each of whom oversees a dedicated portfolio focused on specific sectors and industries. Portfolio Managers have discretion to construct their portfolios as they see fit, leveraging deep domain expertise within their coverage areas. We believe this specialized approach enables a level of analytical rigor and conviction that is difficult to replicate in a more generalist structure. At the same time, we encourage ongoing communication and collaboration across the investment team, as we believe that a broad understanding of market developments—both opportunities and risks—enhances decision-making within each coverage area and contributes to a more comprehensive view at the Firm level. While each Portfolio Manager is responsible for investment decisions within their own portfolio, risk is managed centrally through a shared, multi-factor risk model that provides a consistent and objective framework across the Firm. This model produces rigorous, quantitative measures of portfolio exposure and sensitivity to a range of factors, including idiosyncratic, industry, country, style, and macro risks. In addition, Steadfast employs portfolio management guidelines designed to maintain exposures within defined risk tolerances. The Funds’ investments are not confined to any particular approach or industry and may at any time include, without limitation (unless otherwise specified in the Confidential Private Placement Memorandum of a Fund): long or short positions in publicly-traded or privately issued or negotiated common stocks, preferred stocks, stock warrants and rights, corporate and government debt (including syndicated bank loans), corporate and government bonds, notes or other debentures or debt participations, interests in real estate, convertible securities, distressed securities, and other credit-related assets (such as collateralized loan obligations, asset-backed securities, and mortgage-backed securities) currencies, digital assets, options (purchased or written) on any type of security, commodity or derivative, commodities (including physical commodities), futures contracts, forward contracts (including, without limitation, currency forward contracts), other derivative investments (which may be used for investment purposes and/or as a hedge against fat tail risk), swaps (including, without limitation, credit default swaps), partnership interests, opportunities in private equities, venture capital investments, and real estate, opportunities in short selling, risk arbitrage and spin-offs, contract rights, cash and other securities or other financial instruments, including those of investment companies, and other asset classes, such as precious metals and other hard assets. Clients generally may not impose any restrictions on the Funds’ investments beyond the limitations described in the offering documents for the Funds. (See Item 16 below). As of December 31, 2025, Steadfast managed approximately $10,360,800,715 of regulatory assets under management on a discretionary basis. Steadfast does not manage any assets on a non-discretionary basis.

The Funds currently offer multiple investment classes. The fees and compensation to Steadfast are described in the advisory contracts with its clients. With respect to American Steadfast, L.P. and Steadfast International Ltd., the classes that have greater restrictions on withdrawal/redemption terms are subject to the lowest management fees and incentive allocations. Capital contributed to the Funds at different points in time may be subject to different liquidity and economic terms. Management fees payable to Steadfast, if any, are described in detail in the Funds’ respective Confidential Private Placement Memoranda. The terms of such management fees with respect to the Funds include, for example: (i) they are generally paid quarterly in advance, (ii) generally, once paid, management fees are not refundable, except that they are prorated for less than full calendar quarters and appropriately adjusted for purchases or redemptions, and (iii) they are generally deducted directly from the Funds. Each Fund bears all fees and expenses related to its investing and trading activities, including, for example, fees to consultants, if any, and other direct operational and/or administrative expenses such as professional fees (including, without limitation, administrator, audit, accounting, tax and legal fees, including legal fees incurred in connection with negotiating and preparing side letter agreements with certain investors, fees and expenses associated with Customer Relationship Management software (including the legal and compliance expenses associated therewith) and fees and expenses of outsourced service providers that provide services related to accounting, reporting, development, fund operations and general compliance). Such fees and expenses include, without limitation, brokerage commissions, brokerage transaction cost analytics, expenses relating to short sales (including, without limitation, fees in connection with borrowing and margin), clearing and settlement charges, custodial fees, bank service fees and interest expenses, broken deal expenses, insurance expenses (including, without limitation, directors and officers and errors and omissions insurance for the personnel of Steadfast, its affiliates and directors of the Funds), investor reporting costs, beneficial ownership and short filing reporting costs, and position limit monitoring costs (including, without limitation, software to track such reporting and position limit obligations), legal and other expenses relating to the Funds’ investing activities, compliance with applicable securities laws and regulations and/or the rules of applicable self-regulatory organizations (including, without limitation, expenses incurred in connection with compliance consultants (including for the review and approval of expert network requests and chaperoning of expert network calls) applicable tax reporting laws and regulations and compliance with U.S. and non-U.S. anti-money laundering regimes), regulatory filings, if applicable in accordance with a Fund’s Confidential Private Placement Memorandum, required to be made by Steadfast and/or its affiliates in connection with managing the Funds (e.g., Form PF, Form 13H and Form CPO-PQR), intellectual property rights (including trademark filings and enforcement of trademark rights) or any litigation or regulatory investigation instituted against the Funds, Steadfast or any of their affiliates (including any settlement costs related thereto), due diligence of trading counterparties and custodians (including, without limitation, consultants advising on best execution) if applicable in accordance with a Fund’s Confidential Private Placement Memorandum, blue sky fees, fees and expenses associated with research and research-related materials (including, without limitation, researchrelated travel, computerized financial and research databases (such as Bloomberg), market data, news and quotation services, due diligence of research providers and other researchrelated products and services), artificial intelligence applications (including subscriptions

to platforms as well as fees and expenses of building proprietary artificial intelligence applications (whether in house, with outsourced providers or combination of both)), valuation-related expenses, the cost (including, without limitation, any related consulting, hardware, software development and support and maintenance expenses) of trade execution and management systems, risk and portfolio accounting and other portfolio systems, integration and data transfer connectivity costs to and from third party systems, director fees and costs associated with directors meetings, fees and expenses incurred in connection with any advisory board of a Fund (to the extent a Fund has an advisory board), compensation (which may include fees or performance-based compensation) of advisors, consultants and finders or other professionals relating to (or for the benefit of) portfolio companies or prospective portfolio companies in which a Fund may invest (whether or not completed) or hold a position, fees to individuals that serve as a representative of Steadfast on boards of directors, and other expenses which Steadfast reasonably determines to be related to the investment or disposition of the Fund’s assets and/or to the offer and sale of interests or shares in the Fund (including, without limitation, if applicable in accordance with a Fund’s Confidential Private Placement Memorandum, costs relating to the offer and sale of interests and shares in particular jurisdictions, including, for instance, in the European Economic Area under the Alternative Investment Fund Managers Directive (Directive 2011/61/EU) (including any initial or periodic filings required in connection therewith), and in Australia for “sufficient equivalence relief” with the Australian Security and Investments Commission (including legal, expenses and registered office expenses), and other similar regimes governing the offering of securities in other local jurisdictions, including any professional fees incurred in association therewith and any legal fees incurred in connection with distribution and placement arrangements, and regardless of whether such fees and expenses are imposed on Steadfast (or an affiliate thereof) or the particular entity offering its securities in such jurisdictions), and other similar expenses related to the Fund. The expenses that may be borne by each client are described in detail with respect to each Fund in its respective Confidential Private Placement Memorandum. Steadfast may also invest Fund assets in investments that charge additional fees. Clients may therefore be (i) paying advisory fees (including incentive allocations) to Steadfast or its affiliates and (ii) indirectly paying the fees charged by the underlying investment. Investments that charge additional fees may include, but are not limited to, money market funds, exchange traded funds, private investment funds and special purpose vehicles.

Methods of Analysis and Investment Strategies Generally Steadfast seeks to generate attractive rates of return over a long period of time by investing primarily in publicly traded securities, both long and short. Steadfast believes that a disciplined approach based on intensive research, a focus on the direction of underlying company fundamentals, and portfolio diversification can provide attractive returns on capital without undue risk to principal. Steadfast may use leverage as part of each Fund’s investment program. Steadfast focuses primarily on equities and derivatives of publicly traded companies, but where it believes that it can add value by evaluating all levels of a company’s capital structure, it may invest in a company’s secured debt, unsecured debt, preferred stock or securities that are not publicly traded. Steadfast believes that non-equity securities and derivatives are often less volatile instruments and may present a more attractive risk/reward profile than simply investing in common stock. Steadfast generally also uses derivatives for hedging purposes.

Asset valuation and bottom-up research drive Steadfast’s investment decision making. The more fundamental research and analysis Steadfast conducts on its prospective and existing portfolio holdings, the greater the likelihood it will be able to identify attractive investment opportunities and limit the downside in terms of investment selection. Steadfast’s research techniques may include, but are not limited to, the following: visiting companies, interviewing management, studying financial statements and other public disclosures, reading trade journals, talking to competitors and other industry participants, and reviewing insider transactions. In addition to buying securities, Steadfast also actively sells securities short, including common stock, secured debt, unsecured debt, and preferred stock. Steadfast’s primary goal on the short side is to make a profit, but Steadfast also believes that short selling enhances the Funds’ prospects for capital preservation. The interest income earned on short sale proceeds (at any given time, interest is credited to short sale proceeds at market rates) and the protection that shorts naturally provide against market downturns are two benefits of short selling that can enhance the Funds’ returns on capital. Additionally, Steadfast believes that the mental process required to consider “what can go wrong at a company” or “what could make its fundamentals deteriorate” makes Steadfast a more careful investor. A careful, detailed evaluation of a company’s business model, growth prospects, management team, and financial statements typically drives Steadfast’s investment approach on the short side. The Funds’ short sale candidates may exhibit several of the following characteristics: a flawed business model, cyclically high operating margins, unsustainably high returns on equity, deteriorating industry fundamentals, sector decay, a difficult pricing environment, weak management, an overly leveraged balance sheet, and/or negative cash flow. Steadfast actively seeks investment opportunities that meet the aforementioned criteria. Steadfast has broad and flexible investment authority over the Funds. Accordingly, the Funds’ investments are not confined to any particular approach or industry and may at any time include (unless otherwise specified in the Confidential Private Placement Memorandum of a Fund), without limitation: long or short positions in publicly-traded or privately issued or negotiated common stocks, preferred stocks, stock warrants and rights, corporate and government debt (including syndicated bank loans), corporate and government bonds, notes or other debentures or debt participations, convertible securities, distressed securities, and other credit-related assets (such as collateralized loan obligations, asset-backed securities, and mortgage-backed securities), currencies, digital assets, options (purchased or written) on any type of security, commodity or derivative, commodities (including physical commodities), futures contracts, forward contracts (including, without limitation, currency forward contracts), other derivative investments (which may be used for investment purposes and/or as a hedge against fat tail risk), swaps (including, without limitation, credit default swaps), partnership interests, opportunities in private equities, venture capital investments and real estate, opportunities in short selling, risk arbitrage and spin-offs, contract rights, cash and other securities or other financial instruments, including those of investment companies, and other asset classes, such as precious metals and other hard assets. Steadfast plans on investing in these categories of asset classes today, but Steadfast believes it is important to remain flexible because, in the future, opportunities may arise elsewhere, such as in various classes of hard assets. Investing in securities involves risk of loss that clients and investors should be prepared to bear.

Certain Risks Associated with Steadfast’s Methods of Analysis and Investment Strategies General. An investment in the Funds is speculative and involves a high degree of risk. The Funds have substantial limitations on investors’ ability to redeem or transfer their interests in the Funds, and no secondary market for the Funds’ interests exists or is expected to develop. The Funds utilize investment techniques, including short selling, the use of leverage and trading in derivatives, that involve significant risks. All of these risks, and other important risks, are described in detail in the Funds’ respective Confidential Private Placement Memoranda. Prospective investors are strongly urged to review the applicable Confidential Private Placement Memorandum carefully and consult with their own financial, legal and tax advisors, before investing in a Fund. Market Disruption Events and Geopolitical Risks. Steadfast may trade in different markets and different kinds of instrument types. It is possible that as a result of war, terrorist act, natural disaster, outbreak of infectious disease, epidemic, pandemic, or other serious public health concern, or geopolitical or other extraordinary or unforeseen circumstance or event (a “Market Disruption Event”), one or more of these markets may cease operating for a limited or indeterminable period of time. In that event, it may be difficult for us to value the positions that trade in the affected markets, and the Funds may be exposed to significant movements in the perceived value of instruments without having the ability to trade those instruments. Additionally, Market Disruption Events may have a substantial effect on economies and securities markets in the U.S. or worldwide, and could materially adversely affect individual issuers or related groups of issuers, securities markets, interest rates, credit ratings, inflation, investor sentiment, and other factors affecting the value of the Funds’ investments. Market Disruption Events could also affect the principal prime brokers and custodians that carry and clear the Funds’ trades and positions. The inability of key marketplace intermediaries to function could have an adverse impact upon liquidity as well as the ability of the Funds to manage their positions. Market Disruption Events could also have a direct physical impact upon the Funds’ and/or our operations, including the destruction of our facilities and/or incapacity or loss of life to key personnel. The inability to predict the timing, location, source and severity of a Market Disruption Event make it difficult to provide assurances that the Funds would not suffer material adverse consequences should a Market Disruption Event occur. Regulatory Uncertainty. It is expected that the current U.S. administration will seek to enact changes to numerous areas of law and regulations currently in effect. Any such changes could significantly impact the Funds and their investments. Specific legislative and regulatory proposals discussed during election campaigns and recent public statements that might have a material impact include, without limitation, changes to trade agreements, immigration policy, import and export regulations, tariffs and customs duties, energy regulations, income tax regulations and the federal tax code, and antitrust enforcement. Changes in federal policy are subject to further uncertainty, as changes could be implemented at regulatory agencies over time through policy and personnel changes, which lead to changes involving the level of oversight and focus on the financial services industry or the tax rates paid by corporate entities. The nature, timing and economic effects of potential changes to the current legal and regulatory framework affecting financial institutions under the current presidential administration remain highly uncertain. It is possible that future changes will adversely affect the Funds. There can be no assurance that any changes in laws, regulations or governmental policy will not have an adverse impact on the Funds or their investments.

Trade Policy. Changes to U.S. international trade policy (including tariffs on goods imported to the U.S.) and other trade barriers, as well as the responses of other countries and actors, could significantly exacerbate the normal risks associated with the Funds and result in adverse changes to, among other things: (i) general economic and market conditions; (ii) shipping and transportation costs and supply chain constraints; (iii) interest rates; (iv) demand for investments; (v) available credit in certain markets; (vi) import and export activity from certain markets; (vii) laws, regulations, treaties, pacts, accords, and governmental policies; and (viii) the ability of portfolio companies to implement strategies to produce expansion, reduce costs, improve operations, or otherwise enhance the value of the Funds’ investments in such portfolio companies. Such tariffs have the potential to gravely impact markets, global supply and demand, import/export policies, and the availability of labor in certain markets, and there is no guarantee that additional tariffs or similar measures will not be implemented. The foregoing could seriously impact the operations of the Funds and their ability to realize investment objectives in a timely manner. Cybersecurity Risks. The computer systems, networks and devices used by Steadfast and its service providers, and our clients to carry out routine business operations employ a variety of protections designed to prevent damage or interruption from computer viruses, network failures, computer and telecommunication failures, infiltration by unauthorized persons and security breaches. Despite the various protections utilized, systems, networks, or devices potentially can be breached. A client could be negatively impacted as a result of a cybersecurity breach. Cybersecurity breaches can include unauthorized access to systems, networks, or devices; infection from computer viruses or other malicious software code; and attacks that shut down, disable, slow, or otherwise disrupt operations, business processes, or website access or functionality. Cybersecurity breaches may cause disruptions and impact business operations, potentially resulting in financial losses to a client; impediments to trading; the inability by us and other service providers to transact business; violations of applicable privacy and other laws; regulatory fines, penalties, reputational damage, reimbursement or other compensation costs, or additional compliance costs; as well as the inadvertent release of confidential information. Similar adverse consequences could result from cybersecurity breaches affecting issuers of securities in which a client invests; governmental and other regulatory authorities; exchange and other financial market operators, banks, brokers, dealers, and other financial institutions; and other parties. In addition, substantial costs may be incurred by these entities in order to prevent any cybersecurity breaches in the future. Artificial Intelligence (“AI”) and Machine Learning Technology. Steadfast expects to utilize AI in its business operations, including to facilitate investment research, and the challenges with properly managing its use could result in reputational harm, competitive harm, and legal liability, and/or an adverse effect on Steadfast’s business operations. If the content, analyses, or recommendations that AI applications assist Steadfast in producing are or are alleged to be deficient, inaccurate, or biased, the Funds may be adversely affected. Additionally, AI tools used by Steadfast may produce inaccurate, misleading or incomplete responses that could lead to errors in Steadfast’s and its employees’ decisionmaking or other business activities, which could have a negative impact on the performance of the Funds. Such AI tools could also be used against Steadfast, the Funds and their investments in criminal or negligent ways.

Steadfast currently provides investment advice to the Funds. Investors in the Funds include institutional investors, foundations, endowments, hedge funds of funds, corporations, pension plans, family offices, sovereign wealth funds and high net worth individuals. The minimum investment is generally $1,000,000 with respect to the Funds. However, Steadfast may, to the extent permitted under applicable law, reduce any of these minimum investments at its discretion.

Steadfast generally receives annual performance-based fees or allocations from the Funds, subject to a high watermark. A high watermark is employed so that no performance-based fee or allocation is made with respect to an investment in a Fund until any decline in the net asset value of such investment in any prior year is offset by subsequent increases in the net asset value of such investment. The high watermark is described in greater detail in the offering documents of the Funds. Steadfast may receive greater performance-based allocations from a particular Fund if, for example, a greater proportion of such Fund’s investors select the higher performance-based allocation classes. This could result in a conflict of interest since Steadfast must allocate investment opportunities among the Funds and will have an incentive to favor the Funds that provide overall higher performance-based allocations to Steadfast. To avoid such a conflict of interest, Steadfast generally follows documented procedures in allocating investment opportunities among accounts, as described below.

As the management fees and performance-based allocations made to Steadfast with respect to the Funds are based directly on the net asset value of the Funds, Steadfast will have a conflict of interest in valuing the assets held by the Funds. In order to mitigate this conflict, Steadfast will follow its documented valuation policies in valuing Fund investments. As a general matter, Steadfast strives to allocate investment opportunities on a pari passu basis among clients that employ the same or substantially similar investment strategies, subject to any limitations that apply to a particular client and the exceptions noted below. For example, when Steadfast determines that a particular investment opportunity would be desirable for more than one Fund, it will allocate such opportunity pro rata among the Funds, and if such allocation is not possible or desirable, Steadfast will allocate the relevant investment opportunity in a manner that it deems fair and equitable under the circumstances existing at that time. Where a trade is allocated among clients other than on a pro rata basis, the reasons for such deviation will be documented by the Chief Compliance Officer. Steadfast is not obligated to purchase or sell a security for all clients if the relevant transaction or investment appears unsuitable, impractical or undesirable for one or more clients. Nonetheless, Steadfast, to the extent within its control, may not favor itself in any way to a client’s detriment and will act in a manner that, over the long term, is fair and equitable to its clients. If Steadfast determines that an investment opportunity is too large, too small or otherwise not suitable for the Funds, it may, but will not be obligated to, make proprietary investments therein.

CFTC and NFA Registrations SCM is registered with the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (the “CFTC”) as a commodity pool operator and commodity trading advisor under the Commodity Exchange Act and is a member of the National Futures Association (“NFA”). SCM serves as the “commodity pool operator,” as that term is defined by the U.S. Commodity Exchange Act, of the Funds and operates those vehicles under CFTC Rule 4.7. Robert S. Pitts, Jr. and Jeffrey L. Moore are registered with the CFTC as associated persons and swap associated persons of SCM and are approved by the NFA as associate members in connection therewith. Cayman Islands Monetary Authority SCM serves as the investment manager to Steadfast International Ltd. and Steadfast International Master Fund Ltd. Steadfast International Ltd. is registered with the Cayman Islands Monetary Authority (“CIMA”) as a “mutual fund” and Steadfast International Master Fund Ltd. is registered with CIMA as a “master fund,” as those terms are defined under the Cayman Islands Mutual Funds Act. Management of Multiple Funds Steadfast and its related persons currently manage the Funds. The Funds may be deemed to be related persons of Steadfast. The management of multiple investment vehicles may result in conflicts of interest when Steadfast and its related persons allocate their time and investment opportunities among clients. In addition, the compensation earned by Steadfast and its related persons from each of Steadfast’s clients may differ from one another. Steadfast and its related persons will generally follow documented procedures in allocating investment opportunities among its clients. (See Item 6 above).

Subject to applicable law and to the extent not effected through the market, Steadfast may effect transactions between the Funds (generally for rebalancing purposes) whereby one Fund will purchase securities from or sell securities to another Fund (although Steadfast generally effects rebalancing transactions between the Funds through the market). These transactions may result in a conflict of interest because a transaction may result in benefits to one Fund that may be greater than the benefits to the other transacting Fund. In order to mitigate such conflict, such transactions will be effected only when Steadfast believes such transactions are in the interest of the participating Funds. No brokerage commission or transfer fee will be paid to Steadfast or its affiliates for such transactions. Robert S. Pitts, Jr. (and/or other related persons) and/or Steadfast’s other principals may have a greater portion of his or their personal assets invested in certain of the Funds than in others. As a result, Steadfast may have a conflict of interest in allocating investment opportunities among the Funds. In order to mitigate such conflict, Steadfast will generally follow documented allocation policies. (See Item 6 above). To the extent that any expenses are incurred by Steadfast on behalf of more than one client, Steadfast will allocate such expenses between or among such clients on a fair and equitable basis, subject to any restrictions described in the respective offering documents of the Funds.

Code of Ethics Overview Steadfast has adopted a Code of Ethics (the “Code of Ethics”). Steadfast’s Code of Ethics provides that Steadfast is committed to conducting business in accordance with all applicable laws and regulations and in an ethical and professional manner. In addition, Steadfast recognizes that it has a fiduciary duty to its clients, and that all employees must conduct their business on behalf of Steadfast in a manner that enables Steadfast to fulfill this fiduciary duty. In this regard, Steadfast has developed policies and procedures in its Code of Ethics that are premised on fundamental principles of openness, integrity, honesty and trust. Steadfast’s Code of Ethics requires, among other things, that principals and employees:

Act with integrity, competence, diligence, respect, and in an ethical manner with the public, clients, prospective clients, colleagues in the investment profession, and other participants in the global capital markets; Place the integrity of the investment profession, the interests of the Funds and their respective investors, and the interests of Steadfast above one’s own personal interests; Adhere to the fundamental standard that an employee should not take inappropriate advantage of his or her position; Avoid and/or disclose any actual or potential conflict of interest; Conduct all personal securities transactions in a manner consistent with the Code of Ethics; Use reasonable care and exercise independent professional judgment when conducting investment analysis, making investment recommendations, taking investment actions, and engaging in other professional activities; Practice and encourage others to practice in a professional and ethical manner that will reflect positively on the employee and the profession; Promote the integrity of, and uphold the rules governing, capital markets;

Maintain and improve his or her professional competence and strive to maintain and improve the competence of other investment professionals; and Comply with all applicable provisions of the federal securities laws.

In addition, among other things, the Code of Ethics governs all personal investment transactions by Steadfast’s employees, Steadfast’s policies with respect to gifts and entertainment, compliance with applicable federal securities laws, the manner in which violations of federal securities laws are to be reported, and certain other outside activities of Steadfast’s employees. Steadfast will provide a copy of its Code of Ethics to any client or prospective client upon request. Participation or Interest in Client Transactions Steadfast offers the opportunity to prospective clients to invest in the Funds. Mr. Pitts and other management persons have significant personal investments in the Funds. In addition, Steadfast receives performance-based allocations from the Funds. Subject to applicable law and to the extent not effected through the market, Steadfast may effect transactions between Funds (generally for rebalancing purposes) whereby one Fund will purchase securities from or sell securities to another Fund. (See Item 10 above). Steadfast may also engage in rebalancing transactions conducted in the market through a broker. Pursuant to SEC guidance, if the principals of Steadfast own more than 25% of the interests in a Fund, a transaction involving that Fund may constitute a “principal” transaction under Section 206(3) of the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, as amended (the “Advisers Act”). The Chief Compliance Officer will monitor the interests of the principals of Steadfast, their immediate family members and their affiliates in the Funds, and Steadfast will not execute any transaction between the Funds that would result in a principal transaction unless Steadfast obtains the consent of the applicable Fund in a manner approved by its counsel. Personal Trading Under the Code of Ethics, unless a Steadfast employee has received the prior written preapproval of the Conflicts Committee, no employee may purchase or sell any security, with limited exceptions. Upon receiving the prior written approval of the Conflicts Committee, Steadfast personnel may invest in exchange traded funds (ETFs), mutual funds, private placements and private investment funds, physical commodities (such as gold), digital assets (such as digital currencies), and accounts managed by a third party on a discretionary basis. The Chief Compliance Officer may make exceptions to this trading policy on a caseby-case basis. There are several asset classes that Steadfast employees may invest in which do not require the pre-approval of the Conflicts Committee, including U.S. government securities, money market accounts / funds, and State-sponsored education savings programs. In addition, Steadfast personnel are generally required, subject to black-out periods, to liquidate positions which were acquired prior to joining Steadfast within a specified timeframe, upon receiving prior written approval from the Conflicts Committee. The Funds, Steadfast, their controlling principal, other members of the Steadfast management team and their respective affiliates may purchase products and services from companies in which the Funds are invested. From time to time, Steadfast principals may invest, directly or indirectly (through private investment funds or co-investment vehicles), in public equity, private equity, venture

capital and/or similar investments in which the Funds may also invest (including investing at or about the same time as the Funds). Such investments may lead to a conflict of interest in allocating such investments between clients and Steadfast personnel. However, this conflict is mitigated because such investments by Steadfast personnel will generally be made only in limited circumstances approved by Steadfast’s Conflicts Committee. In addition, clients will generally make such investments only when Steadfast believes there is no reasonable likelihood of a conflict of interest between the nature of the interests held by clients and the nature of the direct or indirect interests held by such Steadfast personnel. In addition, any voting decision with respect to such issuers will be made in the best interests of the Funds, even if such decision would be adverse to the interests of such Steadfast personnel. To the extent that Steadfast employees hold an interest in a company in which clients also hold an interest, any action that an employee may take with respect to the personal investment, whether acquisition, liquidation, voting or otherwise, is subject to the prior written consent of Steadfast’s Conflicts Committee. Timing of Transactions Steadfast may buy or sell securities for one Fund at the same time that it buys or sells the same security for one or more other Funds. This will typically happen when more than one Fund is capable of purchasing or selling a particular security based on investment objectives, available cash and other factors. This may create a conflict of interest if one Fund may benefit from making the trade before or after the other account. Steadfast will generally aggregate trades, subject to best execution, to avoid any such conflict of interest. (See Item 12 below). Except under limited circumstances, Steadfast personnel are generally not permitted to trade single name public equity or debt securities, however they may be permitted to unwind existing securities positions upon commencing employment with Steadfast (see “Personal Trading” of this Item 11 above). In order to prevent Steadfast personnel from selling securities at the same time that Steadfast is buying or selling the same securities for the Funds, personnel must receive the prior approval of the Conflicts Committee to engage in these transactions. Steadfast personnel may receive in-kind distributions of securities of both public and private companies from time to time. Such personnel may be permitted to hold such securities with the prior approval of the Conflicts Committee and any transactions in such securities must be pre-approved by the Conflicts Committee (which may impose blackout periods on transactions depending on the Funds’ trading activities, to the extent the Funds hold or intend to transact in the same securities).

Selection of Brokers In placing portfolio transactions for the Funds, Steadfast seeks to obtain best execution for the Funds by taking into account the following factors: the ability to effect prompt and reliable executions at favorable prices, the operational efficiency with which the transactions are effected, the financial strength, integrity and stability of the broker, the quality, comprehensiveness of related services considered to be of value, and the competitiveness of commission rates in comparison with other brokers satisfying Steadfast’s selection criteria.

Brokers sometimes suggest a level of business they would like to receive in return for the various services they provide; however, Steadfast will not commit to provide any level of brokerage business to any broker. Steadfast’s Brokerage Committee meets periodically to evaluate the execution performance of the broker-dealers it uses to execute its client transactions. In addition, the Brokerage Committee will consider input from analysts when evaluating the effectiveness of the brokers that provide research to Steadfast, and may also consider input from outside consultants when evaluating best execution. The Brokerage Committee also evaluates and seeks to resolve any conflicts of interest that Steadfast may have in selecting brokers to execute client transactions. Research and Other Soft Dollar Benefits Steadfast enters into soft dollar arrangements with brokers. Soft dollar arrangements arise when an investment adviser obtains products and services, other than securities execution, from a broker in return for directing client securities transactions to the broker. Soft dollar arrangements pose a conflict of interest for Steadfast in that such arrangements allow Steadfast to pay expenses with client commissions that would otherwise be borne by Steadfast. However, Steadfast believes that this conflict is mitigated because the Funds will generally pay for research as a “hard dollar” expense pursuant to their respective constitutive documents. When Steadfast uses client brokerage commissions (or markups or markdowns) to obtain research or other products or services, Steadfast receives a benefit because it does not have to produce or pay for the research, products or services. Steadfast may have an incentive to select a broker based on Steadfast’s interest in receiving the research or other products or services offered by such broker, rather than its clients’ interest in receiving most favorable execution. When engaging in soft dollar transactions, Steadfast intends to comply with the safe harbor requirements of Section 28(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Under this provision, in exercising its discretionary authority to select or arrange for the selection of brokers for execution of transactions for the Funds, and, subject to its duty to obtain best execution, Steadfast may consider the value of research and brokerage products and services (collectively, “Research”) provided by such brokers. Research may include, among other things, proprietary research from brokers, which may be written or oral. Research products may include, among other things, datasets, databases, data analytic tools, forecasting tools, research management tools, risk management tools, surveys regarding companies and industries, quotation services, and proprietary portfolio management and research applications (including, without limitation, any related consulting, software development and support and maintenance expenses associated with such applications). Research services may include, among other things, research concerning market, economic and financial data, a particular aspect of economics or on the economy in general, statistical information, pricing data and availability of securities and other assets, financial publications, newsletters, periodicals, industry journals, electronic market quotations, performance measurement services, analyses concerning specific securities, companies, industries or sectors, market, economic and financial studies and forecasts, appraisal services, algorithmic trading software, meetings with management teams, meetings with industry consultants, and invitations to attend conferences or meetings hosted by sell-side research providers. Steadfast may in the future acquire other products and services with client brokerage commissions in accordance with its policies and procedures. Accordingly, if Steadfast determines in good faith that the amount of

commissions charged by a broker is reasonable in relation to the value of the brokerage and products or services provided by such broker, the Funds may pay commissions to such broker in an amount greater than the amount another broker might charge. Research provided by such brokers may be used to service all of the Funds and not exclusively in connection with the management of the Fund, or to service Funds other than the Fund, that generated the particular soft dollar credits. Where a product or service obtained with Fund commission dollars provides both research and non-research assistance to Steadfast, Steadfast will make a reasonable allocation of the cost which may be paid for with Fund commission dollars. Steadfast executes securities transactions on behalf of the Funds with broker-dealers that provide Steadfast with access to proprietary research reports (such as standard investment research and credit reports). To the best of Steadfast’s knowledge, these services are generally made available to all institutional investors doing business with such brokerdealers. These bundled services are made available to Steadfast on an unsolicited basis and without regard to the rates of commissions charged or paid by client accounts or the volume of business that Steadfast directs to such broker-dealers. Steadfast and its affiliates have previously used client brokerage commissions to purchase (i) research, such as proprietary research from brokers, which may be written or oral; (ii) research products, such as datasets, databases, data analytic tools, forecasting tools, research management tools, risk management tools, surveys regarding companies and industries and quotation services, and the development of proprietary portfolio management and research applications (including related consulting, software development and support and maintenance associated with such applications); and (iii) research services, such as research concerning market, economic and financial data; a particular aspect of economics or on the economy in general; statistical information; pricing data and availability of securities; financial publications; newsletters; periodicals; industry journals; electronic market quotations; analyses concerning specific securities, companies, industries or sectors; market, economic and financial studies and forecasts; meetings with management teams; meetings with industry consultants and invitations to attend conferences or meetings hosted by sell-side research providers. During Steadfast’s last fiscal year, Steadfast has taken into account the quality, comprehensiveness and frequency of available research services and products considered to be of value provided by brokers when directing Fund transactions to a particular broker. Steadfast directed transactions to such brokers only consistent with best execution. Services from Prime Brokers Steadfast’s prime brokers provide Steadfast with front and back office services, including trading, securities lending, clearing, reporting, and settlement for equities, fixed income, foreign currency and options, among others. Steadfast’s prime brokers may also provide Steadfast with capital introduction and talent recruitment services. Brokerage for Client Referrals Steadfast may direct client transactions to brokers who refer investors to Steadfast, but only consistent with best execution.

Trade Error Policy None of Steadfast, its affiliates or personnel shall (i) receive any direct gain from trading errors and similar human errors or (ii) be responsible for any losses resulting from such trading errors, except in certain limited circumstances as described in the applicable Fund’s Confidential Private Placement Memorandum. In such limited circumstances, Steadfast will reimburse the Funds for net losses. Trading errors might include, for example, keystroke errors that occur when entering trades into an electronic trading system or typographical or drafting errors related to derivatives contracts or similar agreements. Investors should assume that trading errors (and similar errors) will occur and that the Funds (and not Steadfast or its affiliates or personnel) will receive the gain from any such errors, or be responsible for any resulting losses. Steadfast may correct misallocations of trades among the Funds by re-allocating the applicable trade using the intended allocation methodology prior to the trade’s settlement date. If a trade has settled, Steadfast may, if appropriate and subject to applicable law, within the same calendar month effect a cross trade between the Funds to correct the misallocation such that each Fund would be in the position it would have been in had the misallocation not occurred. Aggregation of Orders In managing the Funds’ portfolios, Steadfast will generally aggregate trades, subject to the aggregation being in the best interests of the Funds. Aggregation, or “bunching,” describes a procedure whereby an investment adviser combines the orders of two or more clients into a single order for the purpose of obtaining better prices and lower execution costs. Aggregation opportunities for Steadfast generally arise when more than one Fund is capable of purchasing or selling a particular security based on investment objectives, available cash and other factors. Steadfast is not required to aggregate trades. Steadfast may aggregate Fund orders when doing so will result in a better overall price for the Funds’ trades. Orders for the same security entered on behalf of more than one Fund will generally be aggregated subject to the aggregation being in the best interests of all participating Funds. Subsequent orders for the same security entered during the same day may be aggregated with any previously unfilled orders. This determination may take into account consideration of changes in the market price of the security. In addition, when Steadfast encounters investment opportunities which are appropriate for more than one Fund or when an aggregated order is only partially filled, Steadfast will generally allocate the investment opportunity on a pro rata basis to the Funds participating in the investment. (See Item 6 above). Steadfast will generally allocate “bunched” orders on an average price basis among the Funds, unless such combination would not be consistent with Steadfast’s or its affiliates’ duty to seek best execution or with the terms of the investment guidelines and restrictions applicable to a Fund, and each account will bear a pro rata share of commission and ticket charges. Additionally, for operational reasons, it is possible that trades that are suitable for both of the Funds may not be aggregated. When trades are not aggregated between the Funds (or any other accounts and funds managed by Steadfast or its affiliates), prices and transaction costs borne by each Fund and/or such other accounts and funds, may differ.

If a client is introduced to Steadfast by a third-party, Steadfast and/or its affiliates may pay such third-party a referral fee in accordance with the requirements of Rule 206(4)-1 under the Advisers Act to the extent applicable. Any such referral fee will be paid solely by Steadfast or its affiliates, and will not result in any additional charge to the client, unless the client agrees otherwise in its applicable written agreement with Steadfast or such third party. Steadfast has entered into agreements with such third-party solicitors on behalf of the Funds. Such compensated third-parties are subject to a conflict of interest because they will be compensated in connection with their activities. This conflict applies as well to nominees

that are compensated in connection with the investment of their clients’ assets with Steadfast or in the private investment funds that Steadfast manages. Similarly, certain capital introduction services provided by Steadfast’s prime brokers and/or its affiliates may be subject to certain requirements of Rule 206(4)-1 under the Advisers Act, and may face similar conflicts of interest, including that such prime brokers or their applicable affiliates may be incentivized to make a capital introduction in part because of the potential for additional prime brokerage and other business Steadfast might direct to them partially in exchange for such introductions. For a description of Steadfast’s practices regarding brokerage for client referrals, see Item 12, “Brokerage for Client Referrals” and for the products and services received from brokers, see Item 12, “Research and Other Soft Dollar Benefits.”

There have been no legal or disciplinary events that would be material to a client’s or a prospective client’s evaluation of our advisory business or the integrity of our management in the reportable timeframe required.

The Funds are reviewed regularly, and their performance analyzed on a continuous basis, by Steadfast’s investment professionals and risk management professionals. In addition, investment personnel generally meet weekly to discuss the Funds, performance, strategy and new ideas. The Funds’ portfolios are also reviewed by the Chief Compliance Officer and/or the Chief Operating Officer to monitor compliance with the applicable trading mandate and any applicable risk and/or operating guidelines, including compliance with Steadfast’s Compliance and Supervisory Procedures Manual. Investors in the Funds will generally receive: (i) a monthly statement of capital from the Fund’s administrator; (ii) a monthly performance update (which includes data such as returns for various timeframes and return attribution); (iii) a periodic investor letter; (iv) an annual audited financial statement of the Fund; and (v) a monthly transparency report for the Fund prepared by the Fund’s administrator. Upon request, investors in the Funds may also obtain Steadfast’s Due Diligence Report, monthly gross long and short portfolio exposures by investment type, quarterly equity gross long and short portfolio exposures by country, monthly estimated Fund returns, as well as estimated performance attribution and lagged portfolio top holdings. Risk reports regarding the Funds are also prepared by RiskMetrics Solutions, LLC (“RiskMetrics”). Such reports are provided directly by RiskMetrics and are available only to its paid subscribers. The Open Protocol Risk Report prepared by RiskMetrics will be provided by Steadfast upon request. In addition, investors may be provided with information (including, without limitation, position level information, counterparty exposure, and fund liquidity) about Steadfast and the Funds in response to questions and requests, and/or in connection with due diligence meetings or other communications, but such information will not be distributed to other investors and prospective investors who do not request such information. Each investor is responsible for asking such questions as it believes are necessary in order to make its own investment decisions and must decide for itself whether the limited information provided by Steadfast is sufficient for its needs. Additionally, subject to applicable law and approval of Steadfast, Steadfast or a Fund has (and may in the future) enter into agreements with certain investors pursuant to which they may provide such investors with rights that deviate from those described herein or in the governing documents of the particular Fund in which the investor holds its interest. Subject to applicable law and contractual provisions, the Funds do not intend to disclose the terms of such agreements and do not intend to disclose the identities of the investors that have entered into such arrangements with the Funds or Steadfast.

For purposes of Rule 206(4)-2 under the Advisers Act (the “Custody Rule”), Steadfast is deemed to have custody over the Funds’ assets. In accordance with the Custody Rule, a qualified custodian is not required to deliver quarterly account statements to the Funds or their respective investors because annual audited financial statements are delivered to investors within 120 days after the end of each Fund’s fiscal year.

Steadfast has discretionary authority to manage securities accounts on behalf of the Funds. Clients generally may not impose any restrictions on the Funds’ investments beyond the limitations described in the offering documents for the Funds.

Proxy Voting Procedures Steadfast generally has voting discretion over securities held in the Funds. Investors in the Funds are generally not able to direct their votes in a particular situation. Steadfast will exercise its discretion in the best interests of the Funds and in accordance with Steadfast’s proxy voting policies and procedures. The Steadfast analyst responsible for the applicable issuer is responsible, in conjunction with the applicable senior member of Steadfast’s investment team, for determining how to vote all proxy statements received by Steadfast with respect to such issuer. Steadfast may also retain a third party to assist it in coordinating and delivering proxies. In the absence of any conflicts of interest, Steadfast will vote all proxies in the manner that the applicable analyst determines is in the best interests of each Fund. In addition, the applicable analyst may determine to abstain from voting a proxy if he or she believes that such action is in or not opposed to the best interests of a particular Fund. The applicable analyst may take into account the following factors, among others, in determining if a specific proposal is in or not opposed to the best interests of a particular Fund: (a) management of the issuer’s views and recommendations on such proposal; (b) whether the proposal may have the effect of entrenching existing management and/or making management less responsive to shareholders’ concerns (e.g., instituting or removing a poison pill, classified board of directors and/or other anti-takeover measure);

and (c) whether he or she believes that the proposal will fairly compensate management for its and/or the issuer’s performance. If the applicable analyst deems that the issue being voted upon is not material for the Funds, Steadfast will not be obligated to vote on such matter. If Steadfast identifies a conflict of interest, it will create and maintain a “Proxy Conflicts Watch List” containing the names of any issuer(s) with respect to which Steadfast has identified a conflict of interest. Such conflicts may arise, for example, from the following relationships: (i) the issuer is an investor in a Fund; (ii) the issuer has a material business relationship with Steadfast; (iii) the proponent of a proxy proposal has a business relationship with Steadfast (e.g., the proponent is a pension plan for which Steadfast manages money); (iv) Steadfast has material business relationships with candidates for directorships in a proxy contest; (v) an employee of Steadfast has a personal interest in the outcome of a particular matter; or (vi) an employee of Steadfast has invested directly or indirectly (through private investment funds or co-investment vehicles) in the same issuer in which a Fund has invested. This list provides examples of possible conflicts of interest and is not meant to be comprehensive. Each employee must notify Steadfast’s Chief Compliance Officer of any potential conflicts of interest of which he or she is aware, and the Chief Compliance Officer will make a determination as to whether an item should be added to the Proxy Conflicts Watch List, as and when created. If the Chief Compliance Officer believes that a material conflict exists between Steadfast and any of the Funds, Steadfast will either: (i) abstain from voting if the applicable senior member of the Steadfast investment team and the Chief Compliance Officer believe that such action is in or not opposed to the best interests of the Funds or (ii) rely exclusively in making its voting decision on the recommendation of ProxyEdge, which has been engaged by Steadfast to assist in the proxy voting process. Should such security not be covered by ProxyEdge, Steadfast will rely upon another independent third party who is experienced in advising investment managers regarding proxy voting decisions. Notwithstanding the foregoing, with respect to the scenario described in clause (vi) in the immediately preceding paragraph, any voting decision made by the Steadfast employee and Steadfast with respect to such issuer will be made in the best interests of the Funds, even if such decision would be adverse to the interests of the Steadfast employee. Special considerations may apply in cases of conflicts of interest involving ERISA clients. Steadfast’s Chief Compliance Officer will confer with appropriate ERISA counsel in such cases. Upon the request by a Fund, Steadfast will disclose to such Fund how it voted proxies for securities owned by such Fund. Steadfast will provide a copy of its proxy voting policies and procedures to the Funds upon request. Class Action Participation Procedures To the extent that Steadfast has discretion to participate in class action lawsuits filed against companies or issuers in which the Funds are invested, Steadfast will generally participate in such class action lawsuits unless it believes that such participation is not in the best interests of the Funds. Steadfast has retained a third-party service provider to assist it in submitting claims to recover proceeds to which the Funds may be entitled from class action settlements. The service provider retains a portion of the proceeds that the Funds receive in connection with these claims.

Steadfast does not require or solicit prepayment of more than $1,200 in fees per client, six months or more in advance, and therefore is not required to include a balance sheet for its most recent fiscal year. Steadfast does not have any financial condition that is reasonably likely to impair its ability to meet contractual commitments to clients and has not been the subject of a bankruptcy petition at any time during the past ten years.
