Woodline Partners LP

Woodline Partners LP is an investment adviser organized as a Delaware limited partnership which was formed in August 2018. Matthew Hooker, Karl Kroeker and Michael Rockefeller (the “Principals”) are the managing members of Woodline Holdings LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Woodline Holdings”). Woodline Holdings controls the investment adviser, and the Principals control Woodline Holdings. Woodline, with assistance from its affiliate, Woodline Partners Europe LLP (“Woodline Europe”), serves as the investment adviser for Woodline Fund LP (the “Onshore Fund”), Woodline Offshore Fund Ltd. (the “Offshore Fund”), Woodline Master Fund LP (the “Master Fund”), Woodline Spire Fund LP (the “Woodline Spire Onshore Fund”), Woodline Spire Offshore Fund Ltd. (the “Woodline Spire Offshore Fund”), Woodline Spire Master Fund LP (the “Woodline Spire Master Fund”, individually a “Fund” and collectively the “Funds”). The Advisors are affiliated advisers organized as separate legal entities conducting a single advisory business. As such, the Advisors are permitted to satisfy their obligation to register with the SEC through filing of a single Form ADV by the Advisors, with Woodline Europe, as a relying adviser. In providing services to the Funds, the Advisors formulate the investment objectives, direct and manage the investment and reinvestment of assets, and provide reports to investors. Investment advice is provided directly to the Funds and not individually to the limited partners or shareholders of the Funds (the “Investors”). The Advisors manage the assets of the Funds in accordance with the terms of each Fund’s confidential offering or private placement memoranda, individual limited partnership or shareholder agreements and other governing documents applicable to each Fund (the “Governing Fund Documents”). Shares or limited partnership interests (the “Interests”) in the Funds are not registered under the U.S. Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and the Funds are not registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940. Accordingly, the Interests in the Funds are offered and sold exclusively to investors satisfying the applicable eligibility and suitability requirements, either in private transactions within the United States or in offshore transactions. As of December 31, 2025, the Advisors had approximately $36,655,346,441 of regulatory assets under management. The Advisors do not manage any regulatory assets on a non-discretionary basis.

General The Advisors provide investment advisory services to each of the Funds pursuant to the Governing Fund Documents, which set forth in detail the fee structure relevant to each such Fund. The Advisors have the sole discretion to waive, reduce or alter the fee structure, and therefore, Investors’ fee structures vary. In addition, Woodline occasionally enters into side letter arrangements with certain Investors which provide for different or additional terms than those described below.

The Advisors typically receives compensation from fees based on a percentage of assets under management (a “Management Fee”) and incentive allocations based on each Fund’s investment performance (an “Incentive Allocation”). The fees and expenses vary by Fund and each Fund’s Governing Documents describe them in detail. Certain Funds require investors to pay a withdrawal charge to withdraw an investment, depending upon the amount and timing of the withdrawal and other factors, which is paid to the Fund, not to the Advisors. The Advisor and its affiliates reserve the right to waive or reduce the Management Fee and/or the Incentive Allocation for Investors, including employees, immediate family members of employees, and others as may be determined in the Advisor’s sole discretion. Other Expenses Charged to the Funds In addition to Management Fees and Incentive Allocations, the Investors will bear the fees and expenses charged to the Funds. Those fees and expenses will vary by Fund, but typically will include, among other things: (i) expenses related to the research, due diligence and monitoring of actual and prospective investments (whether or not consummated) and the consummation of investments of the Funds; and (ii) Fund organizational reorganizational and operational expenses. For certain Funds, a portion of the Fund’s assets are managed by external, unaffiliated investment managers (“Subadviser”). The fees and expenses charged by such Subadviser are expenses that are charged to the relevant Funds. Additional details about each of the Fund’s expenses can be found in the relevant Governing Fund Document. The Advisors allocate expenses for products and services purchased or utilized by more than one Fund and/or the Advisor among the Funds and Advisor in a manner that the Advisor believes, in good faith, is fair and equitable under the circumstances and considering such factors as the Advisor deems relevant, but in its sole discretion, subject to each relevant Governing Fund Document.

The Advisors manage the capital of each Fund in accordance with its investment objectives, which are set forth in the applicable Governing Fund Document. The Advisors generally deploy a fundamentally-driven research process in managing the Funds. The Advisors will take long and short positions, primarily in equities and equity-related securities (e.g., common and preferred stock, options, warrants, financial instruments and derivatives) in managing the Funds. Certain Funds will selectively participate in IPOs, secondaries, follow-ons, PIPEs, special situations and merger arbitrage. Funds may also invest in cash, cash equivalents and US Treasuries, as well as other securities and financial instruments. Certain Funds may also invest in private securities, including other private funds whether open-ended, closed-ended, or venture, some of which may be as a result of seed transactions or early stage transactions. Additionally, the Advisors may pursue quantitative strategies and an "alpha capture" strategy as a part of its investment program for certain Funds. Certain Funds have a long-biased strategy and are designed, in part, to provide exposure to a stock index. Investment decisions are a blend of bottom-up fundamental analysis and internally developed quantitative methods. The Advisors use proprietary tools to supplement their investment process. These tools include proprietary research, such as company-specific financial modeling, market modeling and valuation techniques; quantitative analysis that are relevant to each industry and subsector; and utilization of technology and data science to supplement the fundamental process. Risks Investing with the Advisors involves significant risk and is suitable only for those investors who can bear the risk of loss. Investors should carefully consider the risks involved in an investment in the Funds, including, without limitation, those discussed below. Additional or new risks not addressed below may affect the Funds. The following list of risk factors cannot be and is not intended to be exhaustive. Investors should consult their own legal, tax and financial Advisors about the risks of an investment in the Funds. The following risk factors and other relevant risks could have a material adverse effect on the Funds and Investors. Risks Relating to the Operations and Investment Activities of the Funds Systems and Operational Risks Generally The Funds depend on the Advisors to develop and implement appropriate systems for the Funds’ activities. The Funds rely heavily and on a daily basis on financial, accounting and other data processing systems to execute, clear and settle transactions across numerous and diverse markets and to evaluate certain Securities, to monitor the portfolio and capital, and to generate risk management and other reports that are critical to oversight of the Funds’ activities. In addition, the Funds rely on information systems to store sensitive information about the Funds, the Advisors,

their affiliates and the Investors. Certain of the Funds’ and the Advisors' activities are dependent upon systems operated by third parties, including prime brokers, the Administrator, market counterparties and other service providers, and the Advisors may not be in a position to verify the risks or reliability of such third-party systems. Failures in the systems employed by the Advisors, prime brokers, the Administrator, counterparties, exchanges and similar clearance and settlement facilities and other parties could result in mistakes made in the confirmation or settlement of transactions, or in transactions not being properly booked, evaluated or accounted for. Disruptions in the Funds’ operations may cause the Funds to suffer, among other things, financial loss, the disruption of its business, liability to third parties, regulatory intervention or reputational damage. Any of the foregoing failures or disruptions could have a material adverse effect on the Funds and the investments therein. Cybersecurity Risk The Advisors, their affiliates, their service providers, counterparties and other market participants on whom the Advisors and/or their affiliates rely increasingly depend on complex information technology and communications systems to conduct business functions. These systems are subject to a number of different threats or risks that could adversely affect the Funds and/or the Investors, despite the efforts of the Advisors, their affiliates, their service providers and counterparties on whom the Advisors and/or their affiliates rely to adopt technologies, processes and practices intended to mitigate these risks and protect the security of their computer systems, software, networks and other technology assets, as well as the confidentiality, integrity and availability of information belonging to the Funds and/or the Investors. For example, unauthorized third parties may attempt to improperly access, modify or disrupt the operations of or prevent access to the systems of the Advisors, their affiliates, their service providers and counterparties on whom the Advisors and/or their affiliates rely on or data within these systems. Third parties may also attempt to fraudulently induce employees, customers, third-party service providers or other users of systems to disclose sensitive information in order to gain access to the Advisors’, its affiliates’ or their Investors’ data. A successful penetration or circumvention of the security of the Advisors’ or its affiliates’ systems or the systems of their service providers, and counterparties could result in the loss or theft of an investor’s data or funds, the inability to access electronic systems, loss or theft of proprietary information or corporate data, physical damage to a computer or network system or costs associated with system repairs. Such incidents could cause the Funds, the Advisors, their affiliates, their service providers and counterparties on whom the Advisors and/or their affiliates rely on to incur regulatory penalties, reputational damage, additional compliance costs or financial loss. Valuation of Assets and Liabilities The Funds’ assets and liabilities are valued in accordance with the Valuation Policy. The valuation of any asset or liability involves inherent uncertainty. The value of a Security determined in accordance with the Valuation Policy may differ materially from the value that could have been realized in an actual sale or transfer for a variety of reasons, including the timing of the transaction and liquidity in the market. Uncertainties as to the valuation of portfolio positions could have an

impact on the net asset value of the Funds if the judgments of the General Partner, in its capacity as general partner of the Funds, regarding the appropriate valuation should prove to be incorrect. Counterparty Risk The Funds have established relationships to obtain financing, derivative intermediation and prime brokerage services that permit the Funds to trade in any variety of markets or asset classes over time. However, there can be no assurance that the Funds will be able to maintain such relationships. An inability to maintain such relationships or establish new ones could limit the Funds’ trading activities, create losses, preclude the Funds from engaging in certain transactions or prevent the Funds from trading at optimal rates and terms. Moreover, a disruption in the financing, derivative intermediation and prime brokerage services provided by any such relationships could have a significant impact on the Funds’ business due to the Funds’ reliance on such counterparties. If there is a default by a counterparty, the Funds under most normal circumstances will have contractual remedies pursuant to the agreements related to the transaction. However, exercising such contractual rights may involve delays or costs which could result in the net asset value of the Funds being less than if the Funds had not entered into the transaction. Furthermore, there is a risk that any of such counterparties could become insolvent and/or the subject of insolvency proceedings. In such case, the recovery of the Funds’ Securities from such counterparty or the payment of claims therefor may be significantly delayed and the Funds may recover substantially less than the full value of the Securities entrusted to such counterparty. Collateral that the Funds posts to its counterparties that is not segregated with a third party custodian may not have the benefit of customer-protected "segregation" of such funds. In the event that a counterparty was to become insolvent, the Funds may become subject to the risk that they may not receive the return of their collateral or that the collateral may take some time to return. In addition, the Funds may use counterparties located in jurisdictions outside the United States. Such local counterparties usually are subject to laws and regulations in non-U.S. jurisdictions that are designed to protect customers in the event of their insolvency. However, the practical effect of these laws and their application to the Funds’ assets are subject to substantial limitations and uncertainties. Because of the range of possible factual scenarios involving the insolvency of a counterparty and the potentially large number of entities and jurisdictions that may be involved, it is impossible to generalize about the effect of such an insolvency on the Funds and their assets. Investors should assume that the insolvency of any such counterparty would result in significant delays in recovering the Funds’ Securities from or the payment of claims therefore by such counterparty and a loss to the Funds, which could be material. Competition; Availability of Investments Certain markets in which the Funds may invest are extremely competitive for attractive investment opportunities. As a result, there can be no assurance that the Advisors will be able to identify or successfully pursue attractive investment opportunities in such environments.

Market Risk Generally The profitability of a significant portion of the Funds’ investment program may depend upon correctly assessing the future course of the price movements of securities and other investments. There can be no assurance that the Advisors will be able to accurately predict these price movements. With respect to the investment strategy used by the Funds, there is always some, and occasionally a significant, degree of market risk. For example, both the credit and equity markets experienced exogenous shocks related to COVID-19 during Q2 of 2020, resulting in the credit markets becoming illiquid, credit spreads widening and the equity markets losing substantial value. Further, the expanded influence of social media platforms on the market, combined with the access to costless retail brokerage, can exacerbate the volatility of particular issuers without regard to the fundamental value or the financial results of such issuers. Such market conditions caused many private investment funds to suffer material losses. Significant Positions in Securities; Regulatory Requirements In the event the Funds acquire a significant stake in certain issuers of securities and such stake exceeds certain percentage or value limits, the Funds may be subject to regulation and regulatory oversight that may impose notification and filing requirements or other administrative burdens on the Funds and the Advisors. Any such requirements may impose additional costs on the Funds and may delay the acquisition or disposition of the securities or the Funds’ ability to respond in a timely manner to changes in the markets with respect to such securities. In addition, "position limits" may be imposed by various regulators that may limit the Funds’ ability to effect desired trades. Position limits are the maximum amounts of gross, net long or net short positions that any one person or entity may own or control in a Security. All positions owned or controlled by the same person or entity, even if in different accounts, may be aggregated for purposes of determining whether the applicable position limits have been exceeded. To the extent that the Funds’ position limits were aggregated with an affiliate's position limits, the effect on the Funds and resulting restriction on its investment activities may be significant. If at any time positions managed by the Advisors were to exceed applicable position limits, the Advisors would be required to liquidate positions, which might include positions of the Funds, to the extent necessary to come within those limits. Further, to avoid exceeding any position limits, the Funds might have to forego or modify certain of its contemplated trades. In addition, if the Funds, acting alone or as part of a group, acquire beneficial ownership of more than 10% of a certain class of securities of a public company or places a director on the board of directors of such a company, under Section 16 of the U.S. Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), the Funds may be subject to certain additional reporting requirements and may be required to disgorge certain short-swing profits arising from purchases and sales of such securities. Furthermore, in such circumstances the Funds will be prohibited from entering into a short position in such issuer's securities, and therefore limited in its ability to hedge such investments. Similar restrictions and requirements may apply in non-U.S. jurisdictions.

The Advisors provide discretionary investment management and advisory services to the Funds directly, subject to the terms of the Governing Fund Documents, and not individually to the Investors. The minimum commitment for an Investor varies by Fund but is generally at least $20,000,000; however, the Advisor maintains discretion to accept less than the minimum investment threshold. Investors will be required to meet certain suitability qualifications in order to comply with applicable federal securities laws and regulations. Typically, these investors are pension plans (corporate, state and foreign), sovereign wealth funds, endowments, foundations, banks, pooled

investment vehicles (e.g., funds-of-funds), trusts, estates or charitable organizations, and corporate or business entities.

As described above, the Advisors or their affiliates receive performance-based compensation in the form of Incentive Allocation. The fact that a significant portion of the Advisor’s compensation is directly computed on the basis of profits generated by the sale or disposition of the Funds’ assets may create an incentive for the Advisors to make investments on behalf of the Funds that are riskier or more speculative than would be the case in the absence of such compensation. The Advisors have designed policies and procedures related to the management of the Funds and adherence to investment guidelines, as detailed in the Governing Fund Documents, in order to mitigate such risks.

The Advisors organize and sponsor the Funds. These pooled investment vehicles managed by the Advisors are controlled by affiliated GP Entities. The Advisors or the GP Entities will be responsible for all decisions regarding portfolio transactions of the Funds and have full discretion over the management of the Funds’ investment activities. While the GP Entities are not separately registered as investment advisers with the SEC, all of their investment advisory activities are subject to the Advisers Act and the rules thereunder. In addition, employees and persons acting on behalf of the GP Entities are subject to the supervision and control of Woodline. Thus, the GP Entities, all of its employees and the persons acting on its behalf would be “persons associated with” the registered investment adviser so that the SEC could enforce the requirements of the Advisers Act on the GP Entities. The Advisors are not registered as, and do not have any application to register, as a futures commission merchant or associated persons of a futures commission merchant. The Advisors are a commodity pool operator exempt from registration with the CFTC. As described in Item 4, Advisory Business, Woodline Europe is a relying adviser of Woodline. Woodline Europe provides investment advisory services in connection with the Advisors’ management of the Funds.

Transactions and Personal Trading Pursuant to Rule 204A-1 of the Advisers Act, Woodline has adopted a written Code of Ethics predicated on the principal that the Advisor owes a fiduciary duty to the Funds and its Investors. The Code of Ethics is designed to address and avoid potential conflicts of interest and is applicable to all Employees. The Advisor requires its Employees to act in the Funds’ best interests, abide by all applicable regulations and avoid any action that is, or could even appear to be, legally or ethically improper. While Employees generally may not purchase any listed, individual equity, debt, or derivative securities, Employees may, however, purchase or sell listed individual equity, debt or derivative securities in limited circumstances, subject to written preclearance from the Advisor’s compliance team. To ensure compliance with applicable securities laws, the Advisors require Employees to report personal securities transactions quarterly, provide the Advisor with detailed holdings reports upon commencement of employment and annually thereafter, and seek approval before engaging in certain transactions. The Advisors, their Employees or a related entity may have an investment in certain Fund. For example, the GP Entities for the Funds is owned by the Advisors’ Employees. The GP Entities may participate in the Funds’ investment program through its investment in the Funds. Therefore, the Advisors, its Employees or a related entity participate in transactions effected for Funds. The Advisors may engage in cross transactions between Funds, including, for example, in connection with subscriptions to or redemptions from a Fund, or the periodic rebalancing of positions. Woodline will effect a cross transaction if it determines that such cross transaction is fair, equitable and in the best interest of all participating Funds. Investors may request a copy of the Code of Ethics by contacting the Advisor.

The Advisors have discretion in deciding which brokers or dealers are to be used for a particular transaction and the compensation for those transactions. The Advisors seek to obtain best execution for all transactions and evaluate brokers and dealers on the basis of numerous factors and not necessarily lowest pricing. Brokers and dealers may provide other services that are beneficial to the Advisor and Funds. Subject to the Advisors’ duty to seek best execution, in selecting brokers and dealers (including prime brokers) to execute transactions, provide financing and securities on loan, hold cash and short balances and provide other services, the Advisors may consider, among other factors that are deemed appropriate to consider under the circumstances, the following: the ability of the brokers and dealers to effect the transaction; the brokers' or dealers' facilities, reliability and financial responsibility; and the provision by the brokers of consulting with respect to technology, operations and equipment, commitment of capital, access to company management and access to deal flow.

The Advisors may pay a broker-dealer commissions (or markups or markdowns with respect to certain types of riskless principal transactions) for effecting transactions in excess of that which another broker-dealer might have charged for effecting the transaction in recognition of the value of the brokerage and research services provided by the broker-dealer. The Advisors will effect such transactions, and receive such brokerage and research services, only to the extent that they fall within the safe harbor provided by Section 28(e) of the Exchange Act and subject to prevailing guidance provided by the SEC regarding Section 28(e). The Advisors believe it is important to its investment decision-making processes to have access to independent research. Also, consistent with Section 28(e), research products or services obtained with "soft dollars" generated by one Fund may be used to service one or more other Funds, including Funds that may not have paid for the soft dollar benefits. The Advisors will not seek to allocate soft dollar benefits to Funds in proportion to the soft dollar credits the Funds generate. Where a product or service obtained with soft dollars provides both research and non-research assistance to the Advisors (i.e., a "mixed use" item), the Advisor will make a good faith allocation of the cost which may be paid for with soft dollars. In making good faith allocations of costs between administrative benefits and research and brokerage services, a conflict of interest may exist by reason of the Advisors’ allocation of the costs of such benefits and services between those that primarily benefit the Advisor and those that primarily benefit the Funds. When the Advisors use brokerage commissions (or markups or markdowns) generated by any of the Funds to obtain research or other products or services, the Advisors receive a benefit because it does not have to produce or pay for such products or services. The Advisors may have an incentive to select or recommend a broker-dealer based on their interest in receiving research or other products or services, rather than on a Fund's interest in receiving most favorable execution. The Advisors use soft dollars to obtain, among other items, research produced by broker-dealers and research boutiques and alternative data as well as research tools, such as Bloomberg. At least annually, the Advisors consider the amount and nature of research and research services provided by broker-dealers, as well as the extent to which such services are relied upon, and attempts to allocate a portion of the brokerage business of the Funds on the basis of that consideration. In the event an error occurs while placing a trade for the Funds, the Advisor will seek to correct the error promptly in a way that mitigates any losses. The gain or cost of errors in the Funds will be borne by the Funds unless an error is the result of bad faith, gross negligence, or willful misconduct by the Advisors. The Advisors will not use soft dollars or commitments of future brokerage business to compensate any broker-dealer for absorbing the cost of a trade error. However, to the extent that the Advisors can demonstrate that a broker-dealer was partly or entirely responsible for a trade error, that broker-dealer may be asked to bear part or all of the cost of the error.

The Advisors do not receive economic benefits from non-clients for providing investment advice and other advisory services. The Advisors do not currently compensate anyone for client referrals.

Registered investment advisors are required to disclose all material facts regarding any legal or disciplinary events that would be material to a client’s or investor’s evaluation of the adviser or the integrity of the adviser’s management. Neither the Advisors nor any of its officers, directors, members, partners or employees (the “Employees”), have been involved in any legal or disciplinary events in the past 10 years that would require disclosure in response to this Item.

All investments are carefully reviewed and approved by the Advisors’ investment team. The Funds’ investments are reviewed on a continuous basis and the investment personnel meet regularly to discuss investment ideas, economic developments, industry outlook and other issues related to current portfolio holdings and potential investment opportunities.

Investors will receive reports in accordance with the terms of the Governing Fund Documents. To the extent permissible under applicable law, certain Investors may have access to additional information and reporting (written or verbal) not generally available to other Investors and such information may affect an Investor’s decision to request a withdrawal or redemption from its capital account. Such reports and information may include, among other things, documentation associated with the calculation of net asset value, performance tracking and/or portfolio holdings.

The Advisors are deemed to have custody of the Funds and are subject to Rule 206(4)-2 under the Advisers Act (the "Custody Rule"). However, the Advisors will not be required to comply with certain requirements of the Custody Rule with respect to the Funds because it will comply with the provisions of the so-called "Pooled Vehicle Annual Audit Exception", which, among other things, requires that the Funds be subject to audit at least annually by an independent public accountant that is registered with, and subject to regular inspection by, the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board, and requires that each Fund distribute its audited financial statements to all Investors within 120 days of the end of its Fiscal Year. The assets of the Funds must be held by a qualified custodian, with the exception of certain privately offered securities.

In accordance with the terms and conditions of the Governing Fund Documents, and subject to the direction and control of the GP Entity of each Fund, the Advisor generally has discretionary authority to determine, without obtaining specific consent from the Funds or its Investors, the securities and the amounts to be bought or sold on behalf of the Funds, and to perform the day-today investment operations of the Funds.

In compliance with Rule 206(4)-6 under the Advisers Act, Woodline has adopted proxy voting policies and procedures. The general policy is to vote proxy proposals, amendments, consents or resolutions (collectively, "Proxies"), in a prudent and diligent manner that will serve the applicable Fund’s best interest and is in line with each Fund’s investment objectives. In voting proxies, the Advisors utilize the services of a third-party proxy agent to assist in the proxy voting process. The Advisors regularly follow management’s proposal except in cases where it believes the best interests of the shareholders would not be promoted by following such proposal. In limited circumstances, the Advisors may abstain from voting Proxies where the Advisor believes abstaining is in the Funds’ best interests. Investors and the Funds may not direct the Advisor's vote

in a particular solicitation. Neither the Advisors nor their third-party proxy agent will be able to vote proxies for any securities loaned out by the Funds. Conflicts of interest may arise between the interests of the Funds on the one hand and the Advisor or its affiliates on the other hand. If the Advisors determine that it may have, or is perceived to have, a conflict of interest when voting Proxies, the Advisor will vote in accordance with its proxy voting policies and procedures. Investors may obtain a copy of Woodline’s proxy voting policies and its proxy voting record upon request. The Advisors will generally participate in class action lawsuits filed against companies or issuers in which the Funds invest unless they believe that such participation is not in the best interests of the Funds and any proceeds received with respect to such class action lawsuits will only be for the benefit of Investors in the Funds participating in such lawsuits at the time such awards are received.

A balance sheet is not required to be provided as the Advisors (i) do not solicit fees more than six months in advance, (ii) do not have a financial condition that is likely to impair their ability to meet contractual commitments to clients or (iii) have not been subject to any bankruptcy proceeding during the past 10 years.
