Item 4: Advisory business Services

Overview SunTx is a private equity investment management firm that, since its inception in 2000, has pursued its investment strategy of making control investments in middle-market companies primarily in the Sunbelt region (the “Sunbelt” or the “Region”). SunTx was co-founded in 2000 by Ned N. Fleming III, Mark R. Matteson, Craig J. Jennings (collectively, the “Principals”) and Richard Boyle (who has retired and is no longer a Firm Principal). SunTx is wholly-owned by Ned N. Fleming III; SunTx Capital II Management Corp. (“SunTx II”) and SunTx Capital III Management Corp. (“SunTx III”), each an affiliate of SunTx and a Relying Adviser (as discussed below), are owned by Ned N. Fleming III, Mark R. Matteson and Craig J. Jennings. SunTx, SunTx II, and SunTx III provide investment management services on a discretionary basis to private equity investment funds (the “Private Equity Funds”), including the following: SunTx Capital Partners II, L.P. (“Capital II”), SunTx Capital Partners II Dutch Investors, LP (“Dutch II” and together with Capital II referred to as “Fund II”), SunTx Capital Partners III, L.P. (“Fund III” and together with Fund II, the “SunTx Funds”). Certain of SunTx’s affiliates (and not SunTx) serve as general partners to the SunTx Funds. SunTx or a SunTx affiliate may serve as general partner and/or investment manager to single purpose private investment funds established for the purpose of acquiring a Portfolio Company (“Acquisition Vehicles”). Each Acquisition Vehicle that has one or more third party co-investors in addition to SunTx or a SunTx Fund are deemed to be an investment advisory client. There are currently no Acquisition Vehicles under SunTx or a SunTx affiliate however, SunTx expects to establish Acquisition Vehicles for future portfolio company investments. Current and any future Acquisition Vehicles together with the SunTx Funds, are referred to as “Clients” or “Accounts”. SunTx II and SunTx III, together with those affiliates that serve as general partner to the SunTx Funds are together referred to in this Brochure as “SunTx Affiliates”. Companies in which the SunTx Funds invest are referred to as “Portfolio Companies”. SunTx, SunTx II, and SunTx III have together filed a single Form ADV. SunTx II and SunTx III are each a “Relying Adviser” of SunTx. SunTx, SunTx II and SunTx III are subject to a unified compliance program administered by a single Chief Compliance Officer (“CCO”) and hold themselves out to current and potential investors as conducting a single advisory business. References in this Brochure to SunTx shall include the Relying Advisers and all SunTx Affiliates, as appropriate. As of December 31, 2025, SunTx had approximately $554 million in discretionary gross assets under management, which amount includes uncalled capital commitments as of that date. SunTx does not currently manage any assets in a non-discretionary manner. Nature of Clients and Investors The SunTx Funds are SunTx’s Clients. SunTx does not have a separate client relationship with investors in the SunTx Funds, which are referred to throughout this Brochure as “Investors.” The SunTx Funds are typically U.S. limited partnerships and other investment vehicles (“Private Funds”) that are not registered or required to be registered under the U.S. Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “Investment Company Act”) or the U.S. Securities Act of 1933 (the “Securities Act”) and are privately placed to qualified investors in the United States and elsewhere. See also Item 7 below. Investors in the SunTx Funds are typically domiciled in the U.S., Europe or Asia and include public and private defined benefit retirement plans, endowments and foundations, family offices, wealth management firms, healthcare entities, financial institutions and high net worth individuals that are accredited investors and qualified clients.

Investment Mandates The SunTx Funds are managed in accordance with the investment objectives, strategies and guidelines as set forth in the relevant Fund’s confidential offering memorandum, organizational documents and other related documents (collectively “Governing Documents”) or investment agreement, and in all cases investments are selected on the basis of the Client’s investment needs and objectives. The SunTx Funds are not tailored to the individualized needs of any particular Investor, though certain SunTx Funds may take into consideration the general characteristics (e.g., tax status) of its target Investors when structuring its operations. An investment in a SunTx Fund does not, in and of itself, create an advisory relationship between the Investor and SunTx and SunTx typically does not enter into separate advisory arrangements with any Investor. Therefore, each Investor must consider for itself whether any SunTx Fund meets the Investor’s investment objectives and risk tolerance before investing in the Fund. Information about each SunTx Fund is set forth in its Governing Documents, which will be available to current and eligible prospective Investors only through SunTx or another authorized party.

Item 5: Fees and compensation Fees

SunTx Management Fees & Carried Interest SunTx and its affiliated entities that serve as general partners to the SunTx Funds (the “SunTx General Partners”) receive various fees from the Clients for their services at a negotiated rate based on each Client’s particular circumstances. Fees for these services are set forth in the Governing Documents or applicable investment management agreement. SunTx’s management fees for its Private Equity Funds are initially generally charged as a percentage of the Fund’s aggregate capital commitments, but this calculation is transitioned to a percentage of the Fund’s funded capital commitments after the Investment Period, as defined in the Fund’s Governing Documents (the “Management Fee”). Management Fees generally decline after the Investment Period, or earlier based upon the formation and requisite capital commitments of a new Fund, as described in the Governing Documents of each Fund. However, the degree and pace of deceleration varies per Fund. Management Fees are generally billed quarterly in advance as of the beginning of the quarter and are paid through a drawdown from a Fund’s available line of credit (“LOC”), a “capital call” by which the Investor is required to pay the required amount from its undrawn capital commitment to the SunTx Fund, or deduction from available cash. Assets in the SunTx Funds are generally subject to a lockup. Investors that fail to meet a capital call are subject to a forfeiture of a portion of their capital accounts, pursuant to the Governing Documents of each Fund. Investors who transfer their interests prior to the end of a quarter do not receive a refund of any portion of their Management Fees. The SunTx General Partners or an affiliate generally are entitled to receive a carried interest distribution (typically 20%) of the net profits derived from the disposition of investments, after the return of capital contributions and a preferred rate of return to Investors, (the “Carried Interest”), as defined in the Governing Documents for each Fund. Upon final dissolution of the Fund, the SunTx General Partner or affiliate is generally required to return Carried Interest distributions to the extent that such distributions exceed the amounts that would have been distributed if such Carried Interest distributions were calculated on the aggregate basis covering all Funds transactions (subject to terms and limitations set forth in the applicable Fund’s Governing Documents.) Carried Interest distributions are calculated from time to time upon the disposition of portfolio investments and are allocated or distributed to the General Partner or affiliate following the return of capital contributions and preferred return to Investors. SunTx may waive or reduce Management Fees or Carried Interest for certain Investors or classes of Investors, in its discretion. Thus, different Investors in the same SunTx Fund may pay different Management Fees based on, among other things, waivers. Acquisition Vehicles generally historically have not paid a Management Fee and certain Acquisition Vehicles have not been subject to Carried Interest. Future Acquisition Vehicles may pay Management Fees and Carried Interest consistent with the vehicles Governing Documents. Additionally, the SunTx General Partner’s capital account will generally not be subject to Management Fees or Carried Interest. Except as otherwise agreed, SunTx is not obligated to waive or reduce Management Fees for any other Investor when offering waivers or reductions to a particular Investor. Portfolio Company Fees SunTx or a SunTx affiliate are entitled to and have in the past received certain fees from Portfolio Companies in which the SunTx Funds invest and/or in connection with Portfolio Company investments, which may include advisory fees, directors’ fees, monitoring fees, investment banking or closing fees, commitment fees, break-up, “topping” or similar fees (“Special Income”). Pursuant to terms set forth in the Governing Documents for each SunTx Fund, such Special Income, after deduction of unreimbursed expenses and costs of SunTx and its affiliates (“Net Special Income”), generally reduces the Management

Fees payable to SunTx and/or offsets expenses of the SunTx Fund, as described below. In the event there is no Management Fee payable to offset, the SunTx Fund will record Due from Manager for the amount of Net Special Income, which can be settled in cash or offset against Due to Manager from such SunTx Fund. In the event SunTx or a SunTx Affiliate receives Net Special Income in connection with investments made by a Fund in which there are co-investors, Management Fees for the Fund will be offset only by the Fund’s allocable share of any Net Special Income paid to SunTx or a SunTx Affiliate in connection with investments made by the Fund but will not be offset with respect to co-investors’ share of any Net Special Income. Net Special Income for any such investment generally will be allocated among the Fund and any co-investors pro rata in proportion to the Fund and such co-investors’ investment as a percentage of the total investment. SunTx related persons may receive and have in the past received options, shares or units of a Portfolio Company as compensation for services provided to the company. All such options, shares or units issued to a SunTx related person have been and will be treated as Special Income when received or vested, as applicable. Other Expenses In addition to the Management Fee, each SunTx Fund typically pays its own operating expenses, or otherwise reimburses SunTx or a SunTx Affiliate, for these and other services as well as for certain organizational and offering expenses related to the Fund (“Partnership Expenses”). Partnership Expenses are described more fully in the Fund’s Governing Documents. If any fees, costs or expenses are incurred jointly for any Fund, Acquisition Vehicle, and/or any other account or entity sponsored or managed by SunTx or our affiliates, those expenses will be allocated among such Funds or entities in a manner as we reasonably determine to be fair and equitable under the circumstances. Acquisition Vehicles are generally responsible for their own administrative, operating, and other expenses, however, in the event an Acquisition Vehicle does not have the cash to pay such expenses, these expenses may be allocated to the SunTx Fund entities that own such Acquisition Vehicle. In some cases, the Governing Documents of the Acquisition Vehicle allow for a prescribed annual amount of these expenses to be reimbursed by the applicable Portfolio Company. Partnership Expenses typically include all reasonable out-of-pocket costs of administration of each SunTx Fund, including consulting and accounting, audit, custody, surprise examination, tax return preparation and legal expenses, administrators’ fees, annual meeting costs, liability insurance, and limited partner reporting expenses. Partnership Expenses also include out-of-pocket costs and expenses directly related to portfolio investments or prospective investments (whether or not consummated), such as legal, accounting and other professional or third-party costs, travel, entertainment and other costs, which may include coach, business or first class travel on commercial transportation services, private aircraft or other public or private transportation services, brokerage commissions and transaction costs, custody fees and fees of professional advisors and consultants (“Deal Expenses”), as well as expenses incurred in obtaining systems, research and other information utilized in SunTx’s investment program. Portfolio Companies pay or may pay, or reimburse SunTx or a SunTx Affiliate, for consulting fees or other expenses paid to operating partners and/or Consultants with which SunTx has a business relationship and who share SunTx’s office space. SunTx seeks to structure Portfolio Company investments so that Deal Expenses are absorbed or reimbursed by the relevant Portfolio Company, whenever practicable. Deal Expenses that are not absorbed or reimbursed by a Portfolio Company, such as when a deal is not consummated (i.e., “Dead Deal Expenses”) or when a security is purchased from someone other than the issuer, are deemed Partnership Expenses and to the extent such expenses relate to a specific investment are generally capitalized as part of the cost of the investment. To the extent any SunTx affiliates earns any break-up, “topping” or similar fee, such fees offset such expenses.

Any co-investment entities that are established to participate side-by-side with a SunTx Fund in multiple deals, will pay a proportionate share of Dead Deal Expenses or other Deal Expenses that are not charged directly to a Portfolio Company but are instead treated as Partnership Expenses. Co-investment entities that are established as a single-purpose entity to invest in a single Portfolio Company, or other co-investors who participate individually in a single Portfolio Company investment, will only pay any Dead Deal Expenses or other Deal Expenses related to that specific Portfolio Company. In addition, Portfolio Companies will pay directly, or reimburse SunTx or an affiliate, for consulting fees or other expenses paid to operating partners or consultants, including those with whom the Investment Manager has a business relationship and who share SunTx’s office space, for services provided to such Portfolio Companies, provided, the terms of any such payments shall be fair to the Portfolio Company and represent a cost-savings to the terms that would be obtained in an arm’s-length basis, taking into account the nature of the transaction and the services, from a nationally recognized consulting firm for the same engagement. SunTx contemplates that such operating partners and consultants will include operating partners and consultants who on a long-term basis spend a majority of their business time and attention providing services for the Partnership’s Portfolio Companies. Fees paid to such operating partners and consultants will not reduce Management Fees. Operating partners may further participate in sourcing potential portfolio company acquisition targets and participate in such portfolio company transactions together with SunTx and will benefit directly economically with respect to such transactions. Partnership Expenses also include expenses incurred in the registration or exemption of the Fund; unreimbursed expenses incurred in connection with the collection of amount due to the fund from any person; expenses incurred in connection with alterations and amendments to Governing Documents; out of pocket expenses of the Limited Partner Advisory Committee and Board of Governors, if any, including compensation of the members of the Board; expenses incurred in connection with any fund litigation and/or any indemnity or payment to any person; all expenses in connection with the dissolution and liquidation of the fund; all expenses incurred on account of taxes, fees or other governmental charges ; and all expenses incurred in connection with dissolution and liquidation of the Fund. The General Partner for each Private Fund is responsible for all administrative and overhead expenses associated with the operation of the General Partner and Investment Manager, fees and expenses of any placement agent retained in connection with the offering of fund interests, and organizational expenses in excess of an amount that is set forth in the Governing Documents for each Private Equity Fund (“General Partner Expenses”). Investors are charged for Partnership Expenses either through a drawdown from a Fund’s available LOC, a capital call, through a deduction from available cash held by the Fund, as selected by SunTx. As noted above, Portfolio Companies may reimburse SunTx or a SunTx Affiliate for expenses incurred in connection with such investment. SunTx discloses certain information about the amount and nature of Partnership Expenses in capital call notices and Fund financial statements. However, Fund Investors generally do not receive detailed information regarding specific Partnership Expenses paid. In addition, Investors generally receive limited or no information about the expenses paid or reimbursed by Portfolio Companies. This section provides an overview of the general fees and expenses to which SunTx Fund Investors are subject but is not an exhaustive list of all Partnership Expenses. Partnership Expenses are described more fully in the Governing Documents for each Fund.

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

Following is a summary of the investment strategies and risks involved in the Firm’s investment activities. Investors and potential investors should review the applicable Governing Documents for the particular Private Fund(s) in which they are considering investing for a more comprehensive discussion of the relevant risks associated with investing in that Fund. Methods of Analysis and Investment Strategies SunTx focuses on manufacturing, services and distribution businesses headquartered, or with significant operations, in the Sunbelt. SunTx believes the Region offers a large number of compelling investment opportunities given the size and strength of its economy, the strong foundation for further economic growth and capital investment, and the comparatively fewer private equity firms focusing on lower-middle market businesses. A significant part of SunTx’s strategy is to proactively identify investment opportunities and bypass the auction market for companies. Accordingly, SunTx has created a multi-faceted approach to developing investment ideas and sourcing investments, including the following key elements: (i) identifying promising areas of investment through a rigorous research and industry analysis; (ii) leveraging the SunTx’s reputation and presence in the Sunbelt to source proprietary opportunities; (iii) backing experienced industry executives or management teams to pursue build-ups and other acquisition opportunities in a particular industry sector; and (iv) avoiding competition by investing in sectors or niches that SunTx believes are either ignored or misunderstood, or businesses that involve significant analytical complexity. Investment Risks SunTx’s investment activities involve a significant degree of risk. The securities in which a SunTx Fund invests generally are highly illiquid and, although these investments may occasionally generate some current income, the return of capital and the realization of gain, if any, from an investment generally will occur only upon the partial or complete disposition of an investment. Although at least one SunTx portfolio company has engaged in an initial public offering (“IPO”) and shares of such company now trade publicly, it is unlikely for there to be a public market for many of the securities recommended by SunTx on behalf of the SunTx Funds, and these securities may require a substantial period of time to liquidate. There can be no assurance that the SunTx Funds will be able to realize returns on its investments it manages or that the returns will be commensurate with the risks of investing in the type of companies and transactions described in the applicable Governing Documents. Accordingly, an investment in the SunTx Funds should only be considered by persons who can afford a loss of their entire investment. Private equity investments made by SunTx involve a number of material risks including (but not limited to) the following: Possible Lack of Diversification. The SunTx Funds may not be subject to any comprehensive diversification or asset allocation requirements or be limited to a particular investment strategy. To the extent an Account concentrates investment in a particular geographic region, security, investment sector or stage of investment, investments may become more susceptible to fluctuations in value resulting from adverse economic or business conditions applicable to that region, type of security, sector or stage of investment. In addition, a SunTx Fund may participate in a limited number of investments in which case the investment returns of the SunTx Fund could be substantially adversely affected by the unfavorable performance of a single investment. Competition for Investment Opportunities. The activity of identifying, completing and realizing attractive investments is competitive and involves a high degree of uncertainty. The SunTx Funds may compete with other potential investors including private funds, hedge funds, other financial institutions or other corporate or strategic buyers for limited investment opportunities. As a result, there can be no assurance that a SunTx

Fund will be able to locate and complete portfolio investments that satisfy the SunTx Fund’s return objectives or realize their potential values or that the Private Equity Fund will be able to become fully invested for a significant period of time, if at all. Reliance on SunTx Professionals. The success of SunTx Funds depend, in substantial part, upon the skill and expertise of the investment professionals of SunTx. There can be no assurance that these SunTx investment professionals will continue to be associated with SunTx throughout the life of a particular SunTx Fund. Passive Investment in Interests. Investors do not control the day-to-day operations, including investment and disposition decisions, of any SunTx Fund and generally must rely entirely on SunTx, among others, to conduct and manage the affairs of a SunTx Fund. Market and Economic Risks. Private equity investments in Portfolio Companies may be materially and adversely affected by market, economic, and political conditions globally and in the jurisdictions and sectors in which the investments are made or the Portfolio Companies operate, including factors affecting interest rates, the availability of credit, currency exchange rates, and trade barriers, supply chain disruptions, sanctions and national and international political conditions. These factors may affect the level and volatility of securities prices and the liquidity of a Fund’s assets. Volatility or illiquidity could impair a Fund’s profitability or result in losses. The capital markets have experienced great volatility and financial turmoil, including, without limitation, following the COVID-19 outbreak, the outbreak of war between Russia and Ukraine, and recent financial institutions such as bank lenders becoming distressed or failing. Moreover, governmental measures undertaken in response to such turmoil (whether regulatory or financial in nature – including sanctions) may have a negative effect on market conditions. General fluctuations in the market prices of investments and economic conditions generally may affect the Funds’ ability to make investments. Instability or volatility in the markets and economic conditions generally (including during periods of high inflation and/or a slow-down in economic growth) may also increase the risks inherent in the Funds’ investments and could have a negative impact on the performance and/or valuation of the investments. Distribution of Portfolio Companies. The SunTx Funds may receive security positions from a Portfolio Company as part of a distribution or liquidation. These positions will be subject to market risk until liquidated. Uncertain Nature of Investments. The SunTx Funds may enter into high-risk investment opportunities. Companies in which the SunTx Funds invest may not achieve their expected operational objectives and might experience substantial fluctuations in their operating results. In all these cases, SunTx Funds are subject to the risks associated with the underlying businesses engaged in by Portfolio Companies, including market conditions, changes in regulatory environment, general economic and political conditions, the loss of key management personnel and other factors. Potential Investors should realize that realization events could be delayed as a result of general economic conditions, illiquidity of portfolio investments, contractual prohibitions or other reasons mentioned in this Brochure or the applicable Governing Documents. Illiquid Investments. Although investments by the SunTx Funds occasionally may generate some current income, the return of capital and the realization of gains, if any, from an investment primarily will occur upon the partial or complete disposition of the investment. It generally is expected that the sale of most of the investments will not occur for a number of years after the investments are made. Generally, no public market exists for most of the securities initially held by a SunTx Fund and these securities may require a substantial length of time to liquidate. Insufficient Capital for Follow-On Investments. From time to time, a Portfolio Company may require additional capital. There is no assurance that a SunTx Fund will make follow-on investments or that the Account will have sufficient resources to, or be permitted to, make these follow-on investments. A decision

to not make follow-on investments or its inability to make them may have a substantial negative impact on a Portfolio Company, may result in missed opportunities for a SunTx Fund or may result in dilution of the SunTx Fund’s investment. Investments Longer than Term. The SunTx Funds may make investments that, due to various reasons, may not be capable of an advantageous disposition prior to the date a SunTx Fund is required to be dissolved, either by expiration of the Fund’s term or otherwise. Therefore, a risk exists that a SunTx Fund may have to sell, distribute or otherwise dispose of investments at a disadvantageous time as a result of dissolution. Current SunTx portfolio companies have been held for a significant amount of time and the term of Fund I and Fund II have each exceeded 10 years. Regulatory Approvals. There can be no assurance that a Portfolio Company targeted by SunTx or a SunTx Fund will be able to (i) obtain all required regulatory approvals that it does not yet have or that it may require in the future; (ii) obtain any necessary modifications to existing regulatory approvals; or (iii) maintain required regulatory approvals. Delay in obtaining or failure to obtain and maintain in full force and effect any regulatory approvals, or amendments thereto, or delay or failure to satisfy any regulatory conditions or other applicable requirements could prevent operation of a facility owned by a Portfolio Company, the completion of a previously announced acquisition or sales to third parties, or could otherwise result in additional costs to a Portfolio Company. Inflation Risk; Rising Interest Rates. Rising inflation and U.S. budget deficits and overall debt levels have put upward pressure on interest rates and could lead to higher interest rates in the future. The U.S. Federal Reserve raised interest rates for the first time in several years recently and it has indicated that it expects interest rates to rise in an effort to control inflation. If a Portfolio Company is unable to increase its revenue in times of higher inflation, its profitability may be adversely affected. Some Portfolio Companies may have long-term rights to income linked to some extent to inflation, including, without limitation, by government regulations and contractual arrangement. Typically, as inflation rises, a Portfolio Company will earn more revenue, but will incur higher expenses. As inflation declines, a Portfolio Company may not be able to reduce expenses in line with any resulting reduction in revenue. Many businesses rely on concessions to mitigate the inflation risk to cash flows through escalation provisions linked to the inflation rate. While these provisions may protect against certain risks, they do not protect against the risk of a rise in real interest rates, which is likely to create higher financing costs for these businesses and a reduction in the amount of cash available for distribution to investors. Leverage. SunTx’s private equity investments typically include investments in companies whose capital structures may have leverage. These types of investments are inherently more sensitive to declines in revenues and to increases in expenses and interest rates. A highly leveraged entity may be subject to restrictive covenants imposed by lenders restricting its activity, or may be limited in making strategic acquisitions, or obtaining additional financing, and will have increased exposure to adverse economic factors such as downturns in the economy or deterioration in the condition of the Portfolio Company or its industry. Securities acquired by SunTx for a SunTx Fund, either directly or indirectly through a Portfolio Company, may be the most junior in what will typically be a complex capital structure, and thus subject to the terms of the relevant financing and a lender decides to enforce its creditor rights. Events of default may in some cases be triggered by events not related directly to the borrower itself, such as the insolvency of a guarantor. SunTx’s and a SunTx Fund’s ability to achieve attractive rates of return will depend on its ability to access sufficient sources of indebtedness at attractive rates. An increase in either interest rates or risk spreads demanded by leverage providers could make it more expensive to finance SunTx’s or a SunTx Fund’s investments and could make it more difficult to compete for new investments with other potential buyers who have a lower cost of capital. In addition, a portion of the indebtedness used to finance investments may include high-yield debt securities issued in the capital markets. Availability of capital from the high-yield debt markets is subject to significant volatility, and there may be times when SunTx or a

Item 7: Types of clients

SunTx provides investment management services solely to Private Funds exempt from registration under the Investment Company Act and Securities Act. Investors in the Private Funds are generally institutional investors and certain high net worth investors that are “accredited investors,” “qualified clients” and “qualified purchasers” (if required pursuant to the fund’s exemption), within the meaning of the Securities Act, the Advisers Act and the Investment Company Act, respectively. The Private Funds have a specified minimum investment as set forth in their Governing Documents. This minimum investment is subject to discretion, and the Firm or its affiliates may permit investments of a smaller amount generally or with respect to any Investor.

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

As noted above, the SunTx Funds generally pay Carried Interest or performance-based fees to SunTx that are tied to the performance of the relevant Fund. The Firm’s receipt of performance-based fees raises certain conflicts of interest, which are described below. Investment Selection. Performance-based fees and other arrangements where the incentive to achieve gains may exceed the disincentive to suffer losses may cause the Firm to choose investments that are riskier or more speculative than might otherwise have been chosen. To mitigate these conflicts, Firm management has invested substantial personal funds in the Private Funds managed by the Firm, and the Firm’s policies and procedures seek to provide that investment decisions are made in accordance with the fiduciary duties owed to the Clients and without consideration of the Firm’s (or its personnel’s) pecuniary, investment or other financial interests. Use of Line of Credit. SunTx Funds may, and newer funds are expected to, utilize a LOC to fund portfolio company investments and Fund expenses, as described in Item 5 above. The use of the LOC will delay and may reduce the amount of capital called from investors, which has the effect of increasing a Fund’s IRR but results in additional borrowing costs to the Fund. Side-by-Side Management. Different SunTx Funds may have different Carried Interest provisions or may be eligible for different Carried Interest allocations based on the investment returns of the Fund. Such differences could incent SunTx to favor one fund over another in its investment allocations, make investments in subsequent Funds that are intended to prop up investments in a prior Fund, or manipulate the sequence of dispositions. These potential conflicts are mitigated to some extent by the Fact that SunTx and its affiliates invest alongside the SunTx Funds and have a shared interest with Fund Investors in maximizing Fund returns. These potential conflicts are further mitigated by the fact that subsequent Funds generally are not launched until the Investment Period for prior Funds has expired; therefore, multiple Funds are generally not making new investments concurrently. Parallel Investment Vehicles generally invest in the same securities, at the same time and on the same economic terms. Investments by the SunTx Funds in a Portfolio Company owned by another SunTx Fund or SunTx Affiliate generally must be disclosed to and approved by the Limited Partners Advisory Committee for each relevant Fund to address potential conflicts of interest.

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

Firm Affiliated Entities. SunTx is affiliated with SunTx II and SunTx III, which are private equity fund managers to the SunTx Funds. SunTx II and SunTx III are each “Relying Advisers” of SunTx and their activities and the activities of their employees and the persons acting on their behalf are subject to SunTx’s supervision and control. SunTx and each Relying Adviser are subject to the Advisers Act and operate under a unified compliance program administered by a single compliance officer in accordance with the Advisers Act. SunTx and each Relying Adviser share the same office space and personnel. General Partners. As described in Item 4, certain Affiliates of the Firm serve as general partners to the SunTx Funds and general partners to such general partners. Private Funds. Each of the SunTx Funds are affiliated Funds. Investors may invest in more than one SunTx Fund, to the extent that they are eligible. The Firm is under no obligation to make these types of investments available, investments may not be appropriate for every Investor, and persons offered the opportunity to invest in multiple Private Funds recognize that the Firm is making the opportunity available based solely on its knowledge of the Investor’s eligibility for such Fund. The Firm will not consider whether the investment is appropriate for the Investor and neither is providing investment advice in making the opportunity available. Investors should consider all available information about such Funds, in light of their particular circumstances, prior to making an investment and, as a result, not all persons offered this opportunity will choose to invest. Further information about the SunTx Funds and their investments can be found in the Governing Documents, which are made available to current and qualified prospective Investors. Co-Investments. In connection with any SunTx Fund investment where the transaction requires or permits a larger investment than appropriate for the Fund, SunTx may in its sole discretion (but shall not be required to), offer to certain Fund Investors or other strategic third parties, including operating partners who may be instrumental in sourcing portfolio company transactions, the opportunity to co-invest with the fund on such terms and conditions as set forth in Fund Governing Documents or otherwise as the General Partner or Investment Manager determines (“Co-Investment Opportunities”). Certain of the SunTx Funds have entered into and may in the future enter into co-investment arrangements and have made or may make investments with these Investors or other third-party investors in Acquisition Vehicles managed by SunTx that were created solely for purposes of the co-investment arrangement. Pursuant to its Governing Documents, Fund III will generally allocate Co-Investment Opportunities to Eligible Limited Partners (i.e., those with commitments in excess of $30 million) on a pro rata basis based on their respective capital commitments. Except as otherwise provided in Fund Governing Documents, SunTx is under no obligation to make Co-Investment Opportunities available to Investors. SunTx identifies potential co-investors, including SunTx Fund Investors and other third-party investors, based upon its knowledge of the potential co-investor’s knowledge and expertise, resources, interest and ability to make such co-investments in a timely manner. Portfolio Company Activities. Certain Firm employees, officers and/or affiliates serve (and may in the future serve) as directors, officers or committee members of various SunTx Portfolio Companies. Such persons could face conflicts of interest between discharging their duties to the Portfolio Companies and acting in the best interest of the SunTx Funds. While SunTx does not generally charge director fees for SunTx employees serving on portfolio company boards, any compensation received in such capacities as directors, officers or committee members generally will offset Management Fees and/or other Partnership Expenses as discussed in Item 5 above. Other Activities. SunTx principals and other Supervised Persons have established or may establish, and may sponsor other investment teams that establish, private funds or pooled vehicles to invest in real estate, commodities and other opportunities that are outside of the SunTx Funds’ investment parameters. Such investments do not involve securities and are not part of SunTx’s investment advisory activities. To the

extent permitted by the Funds’ Governing Documents, SunTx principals have also engaged in private investment opportunities that are outside the investment parameters of the SunTx Funds. Affiliates of the Managing Partner own certain property through an entity that has established an agreement with a SunTx portfolio company that provides for the non-exclusive right to use such land for the purpose of business development in return for an annual fee. Such activities may be deemed to create potential conflicts of interest with respect to SunTx Fund activities, which SunTx seeks to mitigate through disclosure in this brochure or to the respective Fund’s Limited Partner Advisory Committee, as needed. Other employees are generally expected to devote their full professional time and efforts to the business of the Firm and its affiliates and avoid activities that could present actual or perceived conflicts of interest. Employees must generally obtain prior approval from the CCO for outside activities. Firm principals and employees have established personal and family investment entities that invest in public or private investments, which are unrelated to the investment activities of the Firm or the SunTx Funds. Any personal investment activities must be consistent with the Firm’s Code of Ethics. Please refer to Item 11 - Code of Ethics for a further discussion on potential conflicts of interest. Other Registrations. Neither the Firm, any affiliate, nor any management person is registered, or has an application pending to register as a securities broker-dealer, a registered representative of a broker-dealer, a futures commission merchant, commodity pool operator or commodity trading advisor.

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

Investments or Other Interest in Private Funds & Portfolio Companies The Firm advises multiple Private Funds that have various investment objectives, guidelines and strategies, as set forth in the Governing Documents for each Fund. In performing its advisory services, the Firm or an affiliate may give advice and take action with respect to any of the Private Funds that may differ from actions taken by the Firm or an affiliate on behalf of other Private Funds. The Firm is not obligated to recommend, buy or sell, or to refrain from recommending, buying or selling for any Client Account any security that the Firm or a related person may buy or sell for its or their own accounts or for any other Clients the Firm manages. The Firm and its affiliates, along with their respective personnel, have invested and may in the future invest or otherwise have an interest, either directly or indirectly, in the SunTx Funds, and/or securities held by the Funds, including investments in Co-Investment Opportunities, as further discussed in Item 10 and below. The Firm and its affiliates have entered into and may in the future enter into transactions with Portfolio Companies, and SunTx Funds have invested and may invest in the same Portfolio Companies as other SunTx Funds, which could lead to potential conflicts of interest. The Firm has implemented policies and procedures relating to personal securities transactions and insider trading that are designed to identify potential conflicts of interest, to prevent or mitigate actual conflicts of interest and to resolve conflicts appropriately, if they do occur. Investment & Co-Investment Allocations The Governing Documents of the SunTx Funds limit investments by the Firm and its affiliates outside the Fund in privately negotiated equity investments of the types to be made by the Fund. The Firm must promptly disclose to the Limited Partner Advisory Committee all investment opportunities in which the Firm or an affiliate invests consisting of privately negotiated equity investments that meet the investment parameters of, but are not invested in by the fund. As noted in Item 10 above, pursuant to the Governing Documents of the SunTx Funds, in connection with any SunTx Fund investment where the transaction requires or permits a larger investment than appropriate for the Fund, the Firm may in its sole discretion (but shall not be required to), offer to certain Investors the opportunity to co-invest with the fund on such terms and conditions as set forth in Fund Governing Documents or otherwise as the General Partner or Investment Manager determines. Employees do not participate in Co-Investment Opportunities. Co-Investment Opportunities are generally allocated to Limited Partners and/or other third parties based on their desire and ability to participate in co-investments, and the specific nature and type of each coinvestment. For Fund III, when a Co-Investment Opportunity is identified, we will determine the expected dollar amount of such co-investment. At least 60% of such co-investment will be first offered to Eligible Limited Partners, as defined in Fund governing documents, pro rata based on their respective capital commitments. The remaining 40% of such Co-Investment Opportunity, in addition to any unsubscribed portion of the 60% (or other amount) offered to Eligible Limited Partners, will be allocated by the General Partner at its discretion. To the extent that investment opportunities are identified that are too small or otherwise do not fit the investment parameters and guidelines of the SunTx Funds, such opportunities have been offered and may in the future be offered to the Firm, its affiliates, related persons or other potential investors identified by the Firm. The Firm is not required to disclose such investments or make such investment opportunities

available to SunTx Fund Investors or the Limited Partner Advisory Committee unless otherwise specifically required by a Fund’s Governing Documents. Related Party Transactions Neither the Firm nor any affiliate may engage in any principal transaction with a Client unless it complies with applicable law and relevant policies and procedures. In order to ensure that it obtains requisite consent required by Section 206(3) of the Advisers Act, the Firm will not engage in any principal transaction with any SunTx Fund without the prior approval of the Fund’s Limited Partner Advisory Committee, except as otherwise permitted by the relevant Fund’s Governing Documents. Code of Ethics The Firm’s Code of Ethics was adopted to govern personal transactions by supervised persons and to assure that their interests do not conflict with the interests of Clients or, as applicable, Investors in the SunTx Funds. As such, the Firm’s Code of Ethics includes: (i) standards of business conduct, requiring that supervised persons comply with relevant provisions of the federal securities laws and the fiduciary duties an investment adviser owes to its clients; (ii) personal securities transaction policies governing the personal investment activities of relevant personnel and requiring the submission by access persons of reports regarding their personal trading accounts and activities; and (iii) an insider trading policy. Currently, all employees, officers, directors and principals of the Firm are considered to be “Access Persons” for purposes of the Code of Ethics. Personnel who fail to observe the Code of Ethics and related compliance policies risk serious sanctions, including dismissal and personal liability. Personal Securities Transactions Policy The Firm’s Code of Ethics also includes a personal securities transactions policy, which imposes certain requirements and restrictions with respect to personal trading and investment activity by Access Persons. In particular, the Code requires Access Persons to obtain the approval of the CCO prior to investing in IPOs, initial coin offerings (“ICOs”) and private placements. The Firm maintains and periodically updates a Restricted List, to reflect actual or potential investment activities of the Clients or other receipt of potential material non-public information. Access Persons are also prohibited from investing in securities listed on the firm’s Restricted List without prior approval by the CCO. In appropriate circumstances the CCO may grant waivers to the Code’s restrictions. Insider Trading Policy The Firm and its related persons may, from time to time, come into possession of material nonpublic and other confidential information, which, if disclosed, might affect an investor’s decision to buy, sell or hold a security. Under applicable law, the Firm may be prohibited from improperly disclosing or using such information for its personal benefit or for the benefit of any other person, regardless of whether that other person is a Client. Accordingly, should the Firm come into possession of material nonpublic or other confidential information with respect to any company, it may be prohibited from communicating that information to, or using that information for the benefit of its Clients, and have no obligation or responsibility to disclose such information to, nor responsibility to use that information for the benefit of, the Clients when following policies and procedures designed to comply with law. Accordingly, the Firm’s Code establishes procedures to prevent the misuse of material nonpublic information by Firm supervised persons. Reporting Requirements under the Code

To assist the Firm in monitoring personal trading activities in order to detect potential conflicts of interest or violations of the Code, fiduciary duty or applicable law, Access Persons must provide periodic reports with respect to personal securities transactions, holdings and accounts, including annual reports of holdings in certain, reportable securities and quarterly reports of their personal transactions in reportable securities. These reports are submitted to and reviewed by the CCO or the CCO’s designee. Gifts and Entertainment Employees on occasion accept gifts or invitations to entertainment but must always act in the best interest of the Firm and its Clients and avoid any activity that might create an actual or perceived conflict of interest or impropriety in the course of the Company’s business relationships. The Firm’s gifts and entertainment policy implements internal controls to monitor such activity, which include (among others): • •

Requiring employees to report or obtain pre-clearance from the CCO before accepting gifts and entertainment of significant value; and Prohibiting more than four gifts or entertainment given or sponsored by the same person or entity without pre-approval from the CCO.

Political Contributions Employees on occasion make political or charitable contributions. Employees are required to seek prior approval before making political contributions to any political official, candidate for political office, political party or political action committee (“PAC”). Political contributions are generally permitted except where such contributions may raise issues under the pay-to-play rule.

Item 12: Brokerage practices Conflicts of interest

Brokerage Practices SunTx does not typically use brokers to transact for the SunTx Funds. However, the SunTx Funds may receive, and have received, public security positions from a Portfolio Company as part of a distribution or liquidation of that Portfolio Company. Accordingly, SunTx have sold and may from time-to-time sell such positions through a broker-dealer, either in an underwritten offering or in the market. When executing portfolio transactions in any investment in or for a Fund using brokers or dealers, SunTx seeks the best overall execution terms available to close the deal expeditiously and on terms most favorable to the Fund. When executing transactions for any Fund through a broker, the Firm may consider a number of factors, including reputation, financial strength and stability, efficiency of execution, commission rates, ability to execute difficult or complex transactions, and other matters involved in the receipt of brokerage services generally. In applying these factors, SunTx recognizes that different brokers may have different execution capabilities with respect to different types of securities and transactions, and that no one broker will likely be judged the best at every relevant factor as a general matter or with respect to any particular transaction. In the event SunTx selects an investment banker to sell a portfolio company or an underwriter(s) for a portfolio company IPO, the Investment Team will typically meet with multiple firms before making a selection and base such decision on various factors, including prior deal experience, contacts, team expertise, fees, research support and other relevant factors depending on the facts and circumstances of the transaction. Soft Dollars. SunTx’s current policy is not to use commissions generated by trading for the SunTx Funds to pay for third party research services. Brokerage for Client Referrals. SunTx does not use brokerage relationships for client referrals.

Item 14: Client referrals and other compensation Conflicts of interest

SunTx previously entered into an agreement with Sixpoint Partners LLC (“Sixpoint”) to act as placement agent with respect to Fund III and affiliated investment entities. Pursuant to such placement agent agreement, Sixpoint was paid a monthly retainer and will receive a percentage of capital commitments of investments in Fund III, subject to certain limitations as set forth in the placement agent agreement. Placement agents for SunTx Funds are disclosed in Section 7.B.(1) of Form ADV Part 1 and the relevant Fund’s Form D. SunTx has engaged Farlie Turner Gilbert & Co., a broker firm registered as Bayshore Partners, LLC, to identify potential investors for future funds. Neither SunTx nor any SunTx Affiliate generally receives any economic benefit from a non-client for providing investment advice or other advisory services to its Clients, except that SunTx or its affiliates receive certain fees from Portfolio Companies, or in connection with Portfolio Company investments, as described in Item 5 above. As described more fully in each SunTx Fund’s Governing Documents, such fees – after deduction for unreimbursed expenses – generally offset management fees and/or reduce Fund expenses.

Item 9: Disciplinary information

The Firm is required to disclose all material facts regarding any legal or disciplinary events that would be material to your evaluation of the Firm or the integrity of management. The Firm has no information to disclose in response to this Item.

Item 13: Review of accounts

Reviews. The SunTx Funds are reviewed by the SunTx Investment Team on a semi-annual basis. The SunTx Investment Team, comprised of senior executive members of SunTx, reviews, among other items, market outlooks and data related to the Portfolio Companies in each Private Fund such as reporting and valuations. Reports. Investors generally receive quarterly written reports from SunTx detailing, at a minimum, a description of the SunTx Fund holdings, financial statements and a capital account statement. Investors in each SunTx Fund receive periodic reports, communications and/or statements, as set forth in the relevant Fund’s Governing Documents or as otherwise agreed. Additionally, SunTx generally provides annual audit reports to each Investor in the SunTx Funds within 90 or 120 days (as set forth in each Private Fund’s Governing Documents) after the end of the relevant Private Fund’s fiscal year. Unaudited financial statements are provided to Investors in certain Acquisition Vehicles. Reports may include or be accompanied by information with respect to the performance of the Private Fund, information about the Investor’s capital account and certain tax-reporting information (e.g., Form K-1). SunTx provides and may in the future provide additional information pursuant to specific Investor requests or side letters. Representatives of SunTx may be made available for discussions with Investors on a periodic or agreed upon basis. Limited Partner Advisory Committee. Each SunTx Fund has a Limited Partner Advisory Committee (“LPAC”) comprised of a representative from the largest investors in each Fund. Pursuant to Fund Governing Documents, the LPAC meets with the General Partner periodically to consult on certain matters as set forth in Fund Governing Documents, including among others valuation methodologies and any issues involving conflicts of interest. The LPAC receives additional information in conjunction with such meetings.

Item 15: Custody

Due to its affiliation with the General Partner for each Private Fund and Private Client, SunTx is generally deemed to have custody of Client funds and securities for purposes of Rule 206(4)-2 under the Advisers Act. In order to comply with Rule 206(4)-2, SunTx utilizes the services of qualified custodians (as defined under Rule 206(4)-2) to hold Clients’ assets, to the extent required by the Rule. SunTx also ensures that each qualified custodian maintains these assets in an account that contains only Clients assets, under the Client’s name. In accordance with Rule 206(4)-2, SunTx also (i) engages an independent auditor registered with and subject to inspection by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (“PCAOB”) to audit each SunTx Fund at the end of each fiscal year and (ii) distribute the results of the audit in audited financial statements that are prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles to all Investors within 120 days after the end of the fiscal year for each SunTx Fund. The assets of certain Acquisition Vehicles are not subject to separate financial statement audits, but rather are considered within the scope of the financial statement audits of the SunTx Fund in which the Portfolio Company is ultimately held. Any Acquisition Vehicle in which there are third party investors is treated as a separate Client for purposes of Rule 206(4)-2. Accordingly, SunTx has (i) engaged an independent auditor registered with the PCAOB to audit each Acquisition Vehicle at the end of each fiscal year, and (ii) distributes the results of the audit in audited financial statements that are prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles to all third party investors within 120 days after the end of the fiscal year for each Acquisition Vehicle.

Item 16: Investment discretion

The Firm provides investment advisory services to the Private Funds on a discretionary basis, subject to the overall supervision of the respective Fund’s General Partner. The investment objectives and restrictions of the Private Funds are set forth in the relevant Governing Documents. Investors in the Private Funds do not have authority to impose any restrictions upon the Firm’s discretionary authority. However, the Firm may, under certain circumstances, enter agreements or side letters with Investors that limit certain fund investments to address specific legal, regulatory, tax or policy restrictions of the Investor. Each Private Fund Investor will generally grant the general partner thereof a limited power of attorney to enable the General Partner to execute the applicable partnership agreement and perform certain other activities in connection therewith on its behalf.

Item 17: Voting client securities

Investors in the Private Funds cannot direct how proxies for securities held in Private Funds are voted and therefore the Firm is generally responsible for voting proxies with respect to securities held in the Private Funds. SunTx does not typically invest in or hold publicly-traded securities in the Private Equity Funds and, therefore, infrequently votes proxies. However, SunTx does currently hold and may on occasion hold certain public securities, which may be subject to proxy votes. SunTx does not vote or review proxies on securities held by underlying Portfolio Companies. The Firm has adopted Proxy Voting Policies and Procedures (the “PVPs”) designed to ensure that, in the event that the Firm is in a position to vote proxies and deems it in the Clients’ best interest to do so, the Firm will vote such proxies based on what it considers to be in the best financial interest of the Private Funds and Fund Investors. Private Fund Investors may receive a copy of the PVPs, as well as information on how proxies were voted for their respective Private Funds by request to the Chief Compliance Officer.

Item 18: Financial information

The Firm is not aware of any financial condition reasonably likely to impair its ability to meet contractual commitments to clients.
