Littlejohn & Co., LLC: investment adviser

investments in equity securities of mid-sized companies, typically those with revenues in the range of $150 million to $800-plus million, which are experiencing a fundamental change in capital structure, strategy, operations, or growth (the “Private Equity Strategy”). The Private Equity Partnerships generally invest in companies that are performing below industry benchmarks or offer untapped operating or growth potential. Certain of Littlejohn’s Partnerships, including Private Equity Partnerships, may also invest in the debt and other related securities or obligations of leveraged or financially distressed middle market companies in addition to making other types of investments, including in special situations, private credit and liquid equities (the “Littlejohn Credit Strategy.” See also, Distressed Securities Pool, below). Such investments through the Littlejohn Credit Strategy may lead to control positions in the issuers of such debt or securities. Each Private Equity Partnership may also have related investment vehicles, including co-investment vehicles. The relevant governing documents of each Private Equity Partnership permit the general partner of the Private Equity Partnership to form one or more co-investment vehicles for the purpose of investing in some or all of the investments made by the Private Equity Partnership. The Private Equity Partnerships have formed such co-investment vehicles. In addition to the Distressed Securities Pools (defined below), there are also stand-alone Partnerships which are dedicated solely to investments in the Littlejohn Credit Strategy. One of the Partnerships in the Littlejohn Credit Strategy, the Littlejohn Opportunities Master Fund, L.P. (“Opportunities Fund”), which is a Hedge Fund, began the process of winding down its operations in 2020. When it commenced winding down its operations, the Opportunities Fund’s NAV was $158 million. There is approximately $30 million remaining in the Opportunities Fund and Littlejohn will continue the orderly liquidation of the fund to fully dispose of these remaining investments. The Littlejohn Financial Solutions Strategy (“Financial Solutions Strategy”) for which Littlejohn Financial Solutions, LLC (“Financial Solutions”) or an affiliate serves as investment manager is primarily comprised of shorter duration investments focused on working capital finance. The investments may include the purchase of notes or other instruments collateralized by the direct purchase of, or participation in, assets related to supply chain finance, accounts receivable finance, purchase order finance and inventory finance. Financial Solutions is a Delaware limited liability company founded in 2023. It is an affiliate of Littlejohn. Several senior Littlejohn employees have an indirect interest in Financial Solutions. Littlejohn provides accounting, finance, human resources, technology, legal, compliance, investor relations and general administrative support services to Financial Solutions. The Financial Solutions Strategy is supervised by Robert E. Davis, one of the Managing Directors responsible for overseeing the Littlejohn Credit Strategy.

The primary strategy of the Partnerships for which Putnam Hill Capital Partners, LP (“Putnam Hill”) or an affiliate serves as investment manager is to invest in the debt of U.S. middle-market companies acquired or controlled by private equity sponsors, with a focus on directly originated, club and syndicated investments (“Direct Lending”). Putnam Hill is a Delaware limited partnership founded in 2022. It is an affiliate of Littlejohn. Littlejohn is not a sponsor of the investment vehicles in Direct Lending although several senior Littlejohn employees have an indirect interest in Putnam Hill. Littlejohn provides accounting, finance, human resources, technology, legal, compliance, investor relations and general administrative support services to Putnam Hill. The Managing Directors responsible for the Littlejohn Credit Strategy and the Financial Solutions Strategy are members of the Putnam Hill Investment Committee. Regulatory Assets Under Management

As of December 31, 2025, Littlejohn had approximately $9 Billion in regulatory assets under management, and did not manage any assets on a non-discretionary basis.

For a specific explanation of the fees for any particular Partnership, investors should carefully review the offering documents of that Partnership. The management fee with respect to Private Equity Partnerships is typically determined based upon a percentage of up to 2.0% per annum of the capital commitments of limited partners to such Partnership during its investment period. With respect to the standalone Littlejohn Credit Partnerships, the management fee during the investment period is up to 1.5% per annum based on the lesser of (i) the limited partners’ capital contributions or (ii) the cost basis of the investments held by the Partnerships and their subsidiaries, calculated in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). With respect to the Putnam Hill Partnerships, the management fee will typically be up to 1.15%, with a cap of 1.50% of the net asset value, with the management fee base equal to the cost basis of investments, calculated in accordance with GAAP. Finally, the Financial Solutions Strategy Partnerships charge a management fee of 0.425% of the gross asset value per annum. After the investment period, the management fee percentage charged to each Private Equity Partnership (other than the Executive Funds, co-investment vehicles, and Partnerships that no longer collect management fees) is reduced and the management fee base is determined pursuant to a calculation specified in the Partnership’s governing agreements, generally the lesser of aggregate

capital contributions or the cost basis of investments, not to exceed partners’ capital commitments. The cost basis of investments is determined in accordance with GAAP. As such, the cost basis is reduced upon the occurrence of certain events (e.g., extinguishment of securities), but may also increase as a result of certain events (e.g., receipt of payment-in-kind interest). Capital is called from each limited partner in a Partnership for such limited partner’s pro rata portion of the management fee. For more specific discussion of management fee amounts, calculations, and other terms, investors should carefully review the offering materials for the applicable Partnership. With respect to distributions received as a result of a dividend recapitalization or other similar leveraged recapitalization, Littlejohn applies GAAP, as opposed to the tax or other treatment accorded by the underlying portfolio company, to determine whether the distributions received constitute dividend income, which does not reduce the cost basis of an investment, or the return of capital, which may reduce the cost basis of an investment. This is a facts-and-circumstances analysis and Littlejohn has developed a set of tests that it applies to distributions resulting from such transactions. In our experience, in the application of these tests, distributions received as a result of dividend recapitalization transactions are usually determined to constitute dividend income, as opposed to the return of capital, and therefore do not reduce the cost basis of the relevant investments. The management fees charged to a Hedge Fund vary according to the particular Hedge Fund’s terms. These management fees are generally paid quarterly, in advance, and are debited against the capital accounts of the underlying limited partners. For more specific discussion of management fee amounts, calculations, and other terms, investors should carefully review the offering materials for the applicable Partnership. Performance Compensation Generally, each Partnership (other than the Executive Funds and co-investment vehicles) pays the general partner of such Partnership carried interest or incentive distributions. For the Private Equity and Littlejohn Credit Partnerships, that carried interest is 20% of profits on distributions derived from the disposition of investments or securities, after accounting for a preferred return to limited partners of up to 8% per annum. The carried interest for the Putnam Hill Partnerships is 15% after accounting for a preferred return to limited partners of 7% per annum. The incentive distributions for the Financial Solutions Strategy Partnerships are 25% of distributable proceeds after accounting for a preferred return to limited partners of 12% per annum. The carried interest and incentive distributions paid to the general partner of a Partnership is subject to claw back under certain circumstances as set forth in each Partnership’s governing documents. Generally, the Hedge Fund pays the general partner of the Hedge Fund performance compensation (the “Performance Allocation”) equal to 20% of the increase in value of each investor’s investment in the Hedge Fund. Investors should refer to the Hedge Fund offering documents for specific information regarding the Performance Allocation. General While Littlejohn’s fees are generally not negotiable, the firm reserves the right to reduce or waive its fees for certain investors. In particular, fees may be waived for key employees of Littlejohn or family members of such key employees. Co-Investments.

Co-investment entities (which are typically formed at or around the time that the Partnership makes a particular investment) and co-investors will bear their pro rata share of any expenses associated with consummated investments but do not bear broken-deal expenses unless otherwise set forth in the applicable organizational documents of the co-investment entity or other agreements related to the co-investments. In addition, such co-investment entities (and indirectly, its limited partners) may or may not be charged transaction fees, management fees and/or carried interest, depending upon a variety of factors, including the investors in the co-investment entity, the specific investment or investments for which the co-investment entity was created, and the timing of the investment. Other Expenses

In addition to management and performance compensation, and potentially, also transactions fees, each Partnership (and indirectly, its limited partners) is required to pay all fees, costs and expenses relating to the Partnership’s activities, investments and business. Such fees, costs and expenses will vary, but typically will include those associated with making or selling portfolio investments, including investment expenses and investment related travel. Investment related travel may include travel on a private aircraft when Littlejohn believes that this cost is justified by the greater efficiency and security provided by the use of private air travel, especially for destinations which commercial aircraft do not efficiently reach. In addition to expenses related to researching, implementing and monitoring investments, Partnerships are also charged legal and accounting fees, taxes, fund administration fees, commissions and brokerage fees, registration expenses, the cost of directors’ and officers’ liability insurance and other expenses such as litigation or broken deal expenses, as set forth in more detail in the offering materials and/or governing documents of each such Partnership. Each Partnership (and indirectly its limited partners) is also responsible for the fees, costs and expenses relating to the organization of such Partnership, including travel, printing, legal, filing and accounting fees and expenses, and certain regulatory expenses up to a certain amount, as described in the offering materials and/or governing documents of such Partnership. Generally, any such organizational expenses paid by a Partnership in excess of the specified amount for each Partnership will be applied to offset management fees owed by such Partnership (except with respect to the Executive Funds and the co-investment vehicles). Investors should refer to the Partnership offering documents for specific information regarding offsets to management fees. A Partnership is also required to pay any placement agent fees that are incurred in connection with the marketing and offering of interests in such Partnership, provided, that any such payments will be applied to offset the management fee owed by the Partnership, as described under Item 14. – Client Referrals and Other Compensation. In certain circumstances, Littlejohn may set up co-investment vehicles for specific investments, at or shortly after the investments are made. Such co-investment vehicles may not bear all of the same expenses as the Partnerships, including expenses associated with unconsummated investments. In September 2021, Littlejohn formed Littlejohn Portfolio Support Group (“LPSG”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Littlejohn providing business consulting and operations improvement services allowing Littlejohn to bring in-house some of the services typically provided by third party operating consultants and boutique investment firms to Littlejohn portfolio companies. LPSG provides services solely to Littlejohn, Littlejohn portfolio companies or in relation to such portfolio companies. The services provided by LPSG generally focus on improvement of a portfolio company’s operational and financial results. The services are focused on one or more functional areas and may relate to pricing, marketing, sales, information technology, manufacturing, procurement, supply chain, talent

management and executive recruitment, or similar services that would be otherwise provided by third party operational consultants or boutique investment firms. There are three primary reasons underlying the formation of the LPSG entity. First, to provide services that are comparable in quality to those services that would be provided by investment banks and boutique consulting firms, but at a lower cost which excludes overhead and profit margins that are typically built into these firm’s rates. Second, there are desirable operating consultant candidates that prefer to be employees of a company as opposed to being independent contractors, and Littlejohn would not otherwise have access to these resources if it is unable to offer employment. Finally, Littlejohn expects that its existing and future portfolio companies will benefit from having access to individuals with specific expertise that can be deployed quickly and as and when needed. While Littlejohn and its portfolio companies utilize the professionals available through LPSG, Littlejohn, the Partnerships and/or the portfolio companies could also engage and retain other senior advisors, consultants, operating partners and other similar professionals (“Consultants”) with specific expertise that is not available from professionals at LPSG, or if the LPSG professional with such expertise is otherwise engaged at that time. These Consultants are not employees or affiliates of Littlejohn or LPSG and will, from time to time, receive payments from, and/or investment allocations with respect to, portfolio companies. The nature of the relationship with such Consultant and the amount of time devoted or required to be devoted by each of them varies considerably. In certain cases, they provide the portfolio companies, Partnerships and/or Littlejohn with industry-specific insights and feedback on investment themes, assist in transaction due diligence, make introductions to and provide reference checks on management teams. In other cases, they may take on more extensive roles and serve as executives or directors on the boards of portfolio companies or contribute to the origination of new investment opportunities. In certain instances, Littlejohn may have formal arrangements with these Consultants (which may or may not be terminable upon notice by any party), and in other cases the relationships may be more informal. They may be compensated (including pursuant to retainers and expense reimbursement) from a Partnership and/or portfolio companies or may be uncompensated unless and until an engagement with a portfolio company develops. In such circumstances, such payments from, or investment allocations with respect to, portfolio companies and/or the Partnerships will not, even if they have the effect of reducing any retainers or minimum amounts otherwise payable to Littlejohn, be deemed paid to or received by Littlejohn and such amounts will not be subject to the offset provisions as described above. These Consultants may have the right or may be offered the ability to co-invest alongside the Partnerships through their general partners, including in those investments in which they are involved, or otherwise participate in equity plans for management of any such portfolio company. There can be no assurance that any of the Consultants will continue to serve in such roles and/or continue their arrangements with Littlejohn and/or any portfolio companies throughout the terms of Partnerships. Portfolio companies typically prepay an estimated amount of annual fees to LPSG at the beginning of each year. To the extent there are prepaid but unused annual LPSG fees at the end of any such year, the credit balance is rolled over to the following year. If there is an unused credit balance at the time that a portfolio company is sold, it is reimbursed to the portfolio company. Other Compensation Littlejohn, its employees, and in some cases, operating partners, may receive director’s fees, consulting fees, monitoring fees and other similar fees from the Partnerships’ portfolio companies (collectively, “Advisory Fees”). Depending on a Partnership’s governing documents, a percentage of

the Advisory Fees Littlejohn receives will be applied to reduce or offset a portion of the quarterly management fee payable by the applicable Partnerships, and any transaction fees received by Littlejohn will be used to pay or reimburse the applicable Partnerships for costs and expenses incurred by such Partnership in connection with any transaction (whether or not consummated) to the extent such Partnerships have not previously been reimbursed, in each case as detailed in the governing documents of the Partnerships, and except with respect to the Executive Funds and co-investment vehicles. If a Partnership is not entitled to receive or otherwise offset its pro-rata allocation of any Advisory Fees because such receipt or offset is not required by the Partnership’s governing agreement, then such Partnership’s pro-rata allocation of such Advisory Fee will be retained by the Adviser instead. Given the investment program of many of the Partnerships, it is likely that certain investment professionals of Littlejohn may become members of the board of directors of one or more companies whose securities are included in a Partnership’s portfolio. In the event such a professional becomes a board member, and such professional is compensated by the company for his or her role as a board member, such compensation will be remitted to the Partnership(s) holding the relevant investment (other than an Executive Fund or co-investment vehicle). Operating partners whose efforts are dedicated to a specific portfolio company will be compensated by that portfolio company, and as such their compensation (including any director’s fees), is not used to offset any portion of management fees. Similarly, the fees received by LPSG which are used primarily to compensate and reimburse expenses of the LPSG employees, are not used to offset any portion of the management fees. Certain Advisory Fees may be waived or deferred at Littlejohn’s sole discretion. Additional information about circumstances under which Littlejohn has waived or deferred such Advisory fees is included in Item 11 below. In addition, Item 11 below provides information concerning other fees and whether they are retained by the Adviser.

In order to minimize adverse consequences that might result from this risk, Littlejohn, Putnam Hill and Financial Solutions manage each Partnership in accordance with the investment strategies they have developed for such Partnership. Furthermore, Littlejohn, Putnam Hill and Financial Solutions disclose to investors the risks associated with the payment of performance compensation, as well as the risks inherent in the investment strategies of a Partnership, in the offering documents for such Partnership. The potential conflict of interest with respect to Littlejohn’s allocation of investment opportunities is mitigated by the fact that Littlejohn (including the general partners) does not receive carried interest, incentive distributions or a Performance Allocation for the Executive Funds but does receive fees in respect of the performance of the other Partnerships. Further mitigating this potential conflict of interest is that the governing documents of the Executive Funds, and certain Private Equity Partnerships specify that the Executive Funds will invest alongside or in such Private Equity Partnerships in all investments in which such Private Equity Partnerships will control the target company immediately following such investment, and also specify that such investments shall be made pro rata based upon the unfunded capital commitments of the Executive Funds and each such

Private Equity Partnership.

Once Littlejohn has identified a potential control investment opportunity, the Firm will undertake a comprehensive due diligence process, consisting of the following components: • Preparation of a preliminary financial model and collecting and analyzing sufficient industry, company specific and management information; • Thorough study of the target company’s industry, market share, competitive strengths and weaknesses, and internal operations, utilizing industry professionals or consultants to supplement internal findings and opinions where appropriate. • Assessment of the target’s management team, and, if management is underqualified (or does not exist) initiation of a search for qualified candidates. In these circumstances, Littlejohn will confirm that it can provide the operating resources to temporarily assume management responsibilities until qualified personnel are hired. • Evaluation of internal operations of business, including (i) understanding components of cost and fully loaded customer and product line profitability; (ii) identifying opportunities to streamline manufacturing processes and improve capacity utilization; (iii) identifying opportunities to improve product mix and quality; and (iv) developing strategic plans for internal growth and growth through acquisitions. • Confirmatory due diligence conducted by either outside professionals on matters such as accounting, tax, legal, environmental, human resources, technical (if necessary), risk management and employee benefits, or operating partners with specific expertise to perform the required due diligence.

As part of Littlejohn’s Private Equity Strategy, after making an investment, Littlejohn will begin

implementing a long-term operating strategy that identifies priorities and goals, works to attract and motivate a superior management team, and addresses manufacturing, financial controls and systems, sales and marketing, and product development needs. The Firm closely monitors each portfolio company’s performance and holds management accountable for the achievement of performance targets. Littlejohn Credit Strategy

Littlejohn seeks to achieve superior risk adjusted returns on behalf of the stand-alone Littlejohn Credit Partnerships, as well as specified portions of the assets of certain of the Partnerships (each such portion of assets or sleeve of a Partnership, a “Distressed Securities Pool”) by investing in a diversified portfolio of debt, equity and other related securities or obligations of leveraged or financially distressed middle market companies or during market dislocations, as well as private credit/structured capital investments and other special situations. Particularly with respect to companies that have undergone, are undergoing or are considered likely to undergo, a reorganization under bankruptcy laws or other extraordinary transaction, such as debt restructurings, reorganizations or liquidations outside of formal bankruptcy proceedings, Littlejohn believes that such securities and obligations are often mispriced by the marketplace due to difficulties in understanding the timing and process of a corporate restructuring, lack of reliable external data, and difficulties in conducting financial analysis, and Littlejohn seeks to profit on its expertise in investing in operationally and financially challenged companies. During the holding period of an investment, Littlejohn may attempt to proactively lead change by asserting rights as a creditor to maximize value by advocating for bankruptcy and/or restructuring. To the degree possible, Littlejohn will attempt to serve as an active member of creditor committees, company boards, and ad hoc creditors groups. Littlejohn will attempt to exit when investor value has been maximized. When Littlejohn makes credit investments on behalf of a Partnership, Littlejohn may seek to build its non-control position in a target into one where it will ultimately gain control over the issuer of such securities. The Firm believes that the Littlejohn Credit Strategy significantly improves the Private Equity Partnerships’ ability to access and take control of underperforming companies, especially in instances where ownership is fragmented and control will most likely be achieved through the conversion of debt. Once control is obtained over a target company, Littlejohn will further leverage the resources and infrastructure of Littlejohn’s private equity group by becoming active in the management of such company on the same basis that Littlejohn manages companies in which it makes control equity investments, as described above. Littlejohn employs both quantitative and qualitative valuation techniques to properly assess the intrinsic value of target companies. In analyzing a target, Littlejohn will consider all securities and obligations within the target’s capital structure and will focus its investments on the best risk adjusted assets, though preference will be given to the most senior tranche of a company’s capital structure. Littlejohn will also analyze the timing and complexity of the restructuring or other extraordinary event the target is undergoing in order to determine what actions and events will be necessary to increase the value of the investment, and consider the effects these factors will have on the liquidity and hold period of the investment in order to construct a diversified portfolio. Financial Solutions Strategy

On behalf of Partnerships for which Financial Solutions is the investment manager, Financial Solutions seeks to make investments in specialty finance assets through structured notes and other instruments primarily, but not solely, related to working capital finance. These instruments are typically collateralized by working capital assets, such as accounts receivables, inventory, purchase orders, accounts payables and invoices (the “Collateral Obligations”). The issuers of these structured notes may be offshore, and the companies who are the obligors with respect to the Collateral Obligations which serve as the security underlying the structured notes may also be offshore. The value of the Collateral Obligations and the creditworthiness of their respective obligors are of great importance in determining the value of the Financial Solutions Partnerships’ investments. The ability of an obligor to repay such Collateral Obligations is dependent upon the continued successful operation of each obligor’s business, which cannot be assured. Moreover, some of the Partnership’s investments will require reliance upon due diligence conducted by the issuer of the notes or its affiliates on the Collateral Obligations and the underlying obligors, which may fail to uncover misrepresentations or fraud in connection with such Collateral Obligations. With respect to some of its investments, Financial Solutions intends to apply leverage to maximize returns. Some of the notes that the Partnership invests in will have a fixed interest rate, whereas to the extent leverage is used, it will typically be subject to a floating interest rate. Accordingly, if future interest rates rise, the financing cost of leverage will rise and impact the Partnerships’ returns with respect to applicable investment. The Partnerships may enter into interest rate or other hedging transactions to mitigate these risks. The use of leverage can, in certain circumstances, maximize the losses to which a Partnership’s investments may be subject. Any event that adversely affects the value of an investment would be magnified to the extent the Partnership is leveraged. Direct Lending

Putnam Hill seeks to generate current income with paramount focus on the preservation of capital from investments in senior secured first and second lien loans to U.S. middle market companies. The Putnam Hill investment team previously engaged in direct lending activities at their prior employer and will be seeking to effectuate both leverage and unleveraged variations of the strategy effected at their previous firm on behalf of Partnerships for which Putnam Hill is the investment manager. Putnam Hill intends to capitalize on directly originated, club and syndicated middle market lending investments, focusing on highly negotiated, well-structured investments that meet the Direct Lending team’s investment criteria. To achieve Putnam Hill’s investment objectives, the Partnerships will invest primarily in senior secured floating rate assets carrying relatively low leverage as compared to collateralized loan obligations and other structured products. Putnam Hill’s investment professionals have long-established relationships with U.S. based private equity sponsors and intermediaries that they expect will result in potential financing opportunities that meet Putnam Hill’s disciplined underwriting process. The cornerstone of Putnam Hill’s strategy with respect to its investments is the corporate governance advantages that flow to debt issuers owned by private equity firms which enable these issuers to take nimble and comprehensive actions in adverse scenarios. Certain Partnerships may apply leverage to maximize returns. The use of leverage can, in certain circumstances, maximize the losses to which a Partnership’s investments may be subject. Any event that adversely affects the value of an investment would be magnified to the extent the Partnership is leveraged.

Cyber Security Breaches and Identity Theft

Littlejohn’s and its portfolio companies’ information and technology systems may be vulnerable to damage or interruption from computer viruses, network failures, computer and telecommunication failures, infiltration by unauthorized persons and security breaches, usage errors by their respective professionals, power outages and catastrophic events such as fires, tornadoes, floods, hurricanes and earthquakes. Although Littlejohn has implemented, and portfolio companies may implement, various measures to manage risks relating to these types of events, if these systems are compromised, become inoperable for extended periods of time or cease to function properly, Littlejohn, the Partnerships and/or a portfolio company may have to make a significant investment to fix or replace them. The failure of these systems and/or of disaster recovery plans for any reason could cause significant interruptions in Littlejohn’s, the Partnerships’ and/or a portfolio company’s operations and result in a failure to maintain the security, confidentiality or privacy of sensitive data, including personal information relating to investors (and the beneficial owners of investors). Such a failure could harm Littlejohn’s, the Partnerships’ and/or a portfolio company’s reputation subject any such entity and their respective affiliates to legal claims and otherwise affect their business and financial performance. RISK OF LOSS AND MATERIAL RISKS RELATING TO INVESTMENT STRATEGIES AND METHODS OF ANALYSIS ARE FOUND IN THE RESPECTIVE PARTNERSHIPS’ PRIVATE PLACEMENT MEMORANDUM. INVESTORS SHOULD CAREFULLY REVIEW AND CONSIDER THE RISKS OUTLINED THEREIN. International Military Conflicts

The military conflict between Russia and Ukraine and the United States, Israel and Iran has caused disruptions to global financial systems, trade, and transport, among other things. The global sanctions and other severe restrictions or prohibitions on the activities of individuals and businesses connected to Russia imposed by multiple countries, as well as the voluntary actions of many companies in ceasing to operate and conduct business in or with Russian counterparties, will likely directly or indirectly impact the business activities of at least some of Partnerships’ portfolio companies. The closing of the Strait of Hormuz has had a worldwide impact on the shipping industry and the transportation of goods generally, and has resulted in increased oil and gas prices, contributing to the inflationary environment. The ultimate impact of these conflicts, or any new conflicts, and their effect on global economic and commercial activity and conditions, and on the operations, financial condition, and performance of a Partnerships or any particular industry, business, or investee country and the durations and severity of those effects, is not possible to predict at this time. It is possible that these conflicts could have a significant adverse impact and result in significant losses to a Fund. Such impact may include significant reductions in revenue and growth, unexpected operational losses and liabilities, and reductions in the availability of capital. It may also limit the ability of a Fund to source, diligence, and execute new investments and to manage, finance, and exit investments in the future.

Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning Developments. Recent technological advances in artificial intelligence and machine learning technology (collectively, “Machine Learning Technology”), including OpenAI’s release of its ChatGPT application, pose risks to Littlejohn, the Funds, and their portfolio companies. Any of these technological innovations could result in harm to Littlejohn, the Funds, or their portfolio companies, significantly disrupt the business models, investment strategies, operational processes, and markets in which they operate and subject them to increased competition, which could materially and adversely affect their business, financial condition, and operations. Littlejohn, the Funds, and their portfolio companies could be further exposed to the risks of Machine Learning Technology if third-party service providers or any counterparties, whether or not known to Littlejohn, also use Machine Learning Technology in their business activities. Littlejohn will not be in the position to control the manner in which third-party products are developed or maintained or the manner in which third-party services are provided, even where they have sought contractual protections. The use of Machine Learning Technology presents a number of risks that cannot be fully eliminated. Use of Machine Learning Technology by any of the parties described herein could include the input of confidential information (including material non-public information or personal identifiable information) into Machine Learning Technology applications, resulting in such confidential information becoming part of a dataset that is accessible by other third-party Machine Learning Technology applications and users. Machine Learning Technology is generally highly reliant on the collection and analysis of large amounts of data, and it is not possible or practicable to incorporate all relevant data into the model that Machine Learning Technology utilizes to operate. Certain data in such models will inevitably contain a degree of inaccuracy and error, and could otherwise be inadequate or flawed. To the extent that Littlejohn, the Funds, or their portfolio companies utilize or are otherwise exposed to the risks of Machine Learning Technology use, such parties may be adversely affected by any such inaccuracies or errors. Machine Learning Technology will likely also be competitive with certain business activities or increase the obsolescence of certain organizations’ products or services, particularly as Machine Learning Technology improves. This could also have an adverse impact on Littlejohn, the Funds, and their portfolio companies. The use of Machine Learning Technology, including potential inadvertent disclosure of confidential information or personal identifiable information of Littlejohn, the Funds, or their portfolio companies, could also lead to legal and regulatory investigations and enforcement actions. Invoice Spoofing, Business Email Compromise, and AI-Enabled Fraud. Littlejohn faces increasing exposure to sophisticated cyber-enabled fraud, including invoice spoofing, payment redirection schemes, and business email compromise, which may be amplified through the malicious use of AI. Threat actors may impersonate Littlejohn, its clients, Fund Limited Partners, portfolio companies, service providers, or authorized signatories by exploiting look-alike domains, compromised email accounts, deepfake audio or video, and AI-generated communications that closely mimic legitimate instructions, invoices, or identities. Such schemes can be directed at Littlejohn or its affiliates, vendors, custodians, administrators, agent banks, loan servicers, and investors and may result in unauthorized transfers, misdirected capital contributions or distribution proceeds, and other financial losses. AI-enabled fraud can materially erode the effectiveness of traditional controls by accelerating and scaling social engineering, creating realistic synthetic documents and identities, and defeating common authentication methods. Even with robust cybersecurity programs, multi-factor authentication, verification protocols, segregation of duties, staff training, and vendor oversight, no system of internal controls can fully prevent or detect all incidents, particularly those leveraging

rapidly evolving AI capabilities. Littlejohn relies on third-party service providers, communication platforms, and payment networks. Vulnerabilities or control failures at any point in these chains— whether at Littlejohn or a third party—could enable or exacerbate fraudulent activity, including misapplied proceeds from spoofed capital call or wire instructions. In addition, legacy contractual protections with vendors may be inadequate to address AI-driven threat vectors, and insurance coverage (including cyber, crime, or fidelity bonds) may contain exclusions, caps, retentions, sublimits, or other limitations that reduce or eliminate recoveries for losses arising from spoofing or AIrelated fraud. A successful fraud incident could result in monetary losses, disruption of operations, delays in capital calls or distributions, liquidity constraints, impairment of cash flows, and costly remediation, investigations, and litigation. Clients of Littlejohn may be required to reimburse or bear losses suffered by investors and counterparties and may not be able to recover funds misdirected to fraudulent accounts. Regulatory scrutiny may increase, and Littlejohn could face fines, penalties, or adverse supervisory actions if its controls are deemed inadequate. Furthermore, reputational damage and erosion of investor trust could adversely affect fundraising, investor relations, and access to banking and capital markets. Any of the foregoing could have a material adverse effect on the business, financial condition, and results of operations of Littlejohn or its clients and Funds. Tax Reform Risks. Legislation has been proposed in the past that could result in significant tax increases and various other changes to U.S. tax rules. It is unclear whether any future legislation will be enacted into law or, if enacted, what form it would take, and it is also unclear whether there could be regulatory or administrative action that could affect U.S. tax rules. In July 2025, President Trump recently signed into law the OBBBA which includes several new provisions (and other amendments) to the Internal Revenue Code. The impact of the OBBBA and of any other potential tax changes on an investment in the Funds is uncertain. Prospective investors should consult their own tax advisors regarding potential changes in tax laws and the impact on their investment in the Funds and the impact on the Funds and any potential investments.

The existence of multiple pooled investment vehicles can create a material conflict of interest with respect to Littlejohn’s allocating investment opportunities among pooled investment vehicles. Generally, under the Partnerships’ governing documents, private equity investments that are suitable for more than one Private Equity Partnership are allocated pro rata to the Private Equity Partnership(s) that are in their investment periods at the time of the allocation, although follow-on investments in existing portfolio companies are generally made by the Private

Equity Partnership(s) that made the initial investment. When Littlejohn deems investment opportunities for the Littlejohn Credit Strategy to be suitable for more than one pooled investment vehicle, Littlejohn will allocate the investment opportunity between such pooled investment vehicles on a basis Littlejohn considers to be fair and reasonable taking into consideration such factors as the capital available to such pooled investment vehicles, the life-cycle and investment period stage of the pooled investment vehicle, any investment restrictions included in the governing documents of such pooled investment vehicles, the size of the transaction, the amount of potential follow-on investing that may be required for such investment and the other portfolio investments of such pooled investment vehicles, the relation of such opportunity to the investment strategy of such Partnerships, considerations involving the portfolio balances of such Partnerships, the sourcing of the transaction, the nature and extent of involvement in the transaction on the part of the respective teams of investment professionals of Littlejohn, and any other considerations Littlejohn deems relevant in good faith. In addition, conflicts of interest would arise if different Partnerships were to invest at different times or in different securities of or in different levels of the capital structure of a single company (for example, if one Partnership were to invest in the equity of an issuer, and another Partnership were to invest in debt securities of such issuer). Certain Partnerships include as part of their investment strategy the investment of assets into one or more other Littlejohn strategies. This could present a conflict of interest in that portfolio managers may be incentivized to invest in a Littlejohn strategy over a non-affiliated strategy. This conflict is mitigated by disclosure in the offering documents of the Partnerships who invest in these other Littlejohn strategies. In order to manage and mitigate potential conflicts of interest arising from the different investment objectives of the various Partnerships and other vehicles, Littlejohn has developed a conflicts of interest policy which provides guidance in these types of situations. Littlejohn Capital, LLC

Angus C. Littlejohn, Jr. is the founder of Littlejohn Capital, LLC, a private equity firm focused on micro-cap private companies whose size generally prohibits investment by Littlejohn. In the event an investment opportunity arises that has any significant potential to become an investment for one of the Partnerships or for one of the portfolio companies, Littlejohn requires Littlejohn Capital to present the opportunity to the Partnerships for a right of first refusal prior to Littlejohn Capital making an investment. In the event such an opportunity were to be appropriate for both Littlejohn Capital and one or more Partnerships, the above procedures as described for the allocations of investment opportunities would be instituted and conflicts of interest explored by the applicable Partnership’s Advisory Committee. Goldman Sachs & Co.

Goldman Sachs & Co., Inc. (“Goldman”) has, through various intermediary entities, provided capital to Littlejohn. As a result, Goldman indirectly owns a minority interest of Littlejohn. While Littlejohn manages the business and affairs of the Partnerships, as a result of its interests in Littlejohn, Goldman is entitled to certain contractual economic, governance, reporting and other rights. For instance, Goldman will receive a portion of the fees and distributions (including carried interest, as described above) payable to Littlejohn. The interests of Goldman and its affiliates may conflict with the interests

of other Littlejohn investors. Goldman is a financial institution with many different affiliates, businesses and activities, at least some of which may conflict with the interests of the Partnerships and investors therein. Goldman and its affiliates may serve as investment advisers or investment managers to other client accounts and conduct investment activities for their own accounts and may give advice or take action with respect to such other clients or accounts that differs from advice given or actions taken by Littlejohn. Goldman and its affiliates may compete with the Partnerships for certain investment opportunities. Furthermore, there can be no assurance that Goldman or any of its affiliates will hold or continue to hold any interest in Littlejohn, and may dispose, transfer or sell any of such interests in accordance with the terms of the applicable governing documents.

Investors or prospective investors may obtain a copy of the Code by sending a written request to Mr. Kenneth Warren (Littlejohn’s Chief Compliance Officer) at the address set forth on the cover page of this Brochure. The Code requires Littlejohn personnel to act with competence, dignity, integrity and in an ethical manner when dealing with the Partnerships, their investors and other third parties. The Code also requires Littlejohn employees to comply with all federal and state securities laws. Littlejohn employees are further required to adhere to the highest standards with respect to any conflicts of interest with clients, and to report to the Chief Compliance Officer any practice that creates or gives the appearance of a material conflict of interest. It is possible that Littlejohn personnel may personally invest in some of the same investments that are held by a Partnership, or that they may own investments that are subsequently purchased for a Partnership. To mitigate the effects of this potential conflict, the Code implements policies and procedures which govern, among other things, personal trading by Littlejohn personnel. Among other requirements, all employees must seek pre-approval for certain personal trades and report their personal securities transactions and holdings in accounts over which they have direct or indirect influence or control. Further, Littlejohn personnel must certify their compliance with the Code on an annual basis. Other Fees

Littlejohn may receive (i) acquisition fees for investments, (ii) fees for asset management services; and (iii) fees for advisory and/or transaction services provided to companies in which the Partnerships have an interest. Partnerships and their limited partners will not receive the benefit of any fees relating to the Partnerships’ investments or paid by portfolio companies except to the extent they are offset by

reduced management fees, as applicable, and in accordance with the applicable Partnership’s governing agreements. Management fee offset rates for these related fees from portfolio companies range from zero to 100%, depending upon the specific Partnership. Fees received will not offset management fees beyond a reduction to zero. However, as described in Item 5, as is the case with respect to the fees received by third-party operating consultants and boutique investment firms, management fees are not offset by fees received by LPSG. If a Partnership is not entitled to receive or otherwise offset its pro-rata allocation of any of these other fees as described above because such receipt or offset is not required by the Partnership’s governing agreement, then such Partnership’s pro-rata allocation of such other fees will be retained by the Adviser instead. In addition, Littlejohn has elected at times and under certain circumstances, to waive or defer Advisory Fees due from portfolio companies, such as for the provision of monitoring services. Specifically, Littlejohn has elected and may elect, in its discretion, to waive or defer Advisory Fees due from portfolio companies due to, among other things, the demands of lending institutions that may provide a variety of debt financing options to portfolio companies, cash flow considerations at a portfolio company, and/or a conclusion by Littlejohn, in its sole discretion, that the financial resources of a portfolio company would be more effectively deployed on other value creation opportunities or for other purposes. Since management fees are not offset by fees received by LPSG, and LPSG is an affiliate of Littlejohn, a conflict of interest exists. Accordingly, in July 2021, after presenting Littlejohn’s plan to form LPSG to the Limited Partner Advisory Committee, Littlejohn sought and obtained investor consent to modify the relevant fund agreements to permit the establishment of LPSG to provide services to the Littlejohn portfolio companies, permit the Littlejohn funds to compensate LPSG, and to exclude the fees received by LPSG from the management fee offset obligation. Littlejohn further mitigates any conflict of interest that may be presented by the use of LPSG to provide services, by focusing LPSG’s operations on the improvement of the operational results of Littlejohn’s portfolio companies in a manner that improves Littlejohn’s investment returns rather than generating an independent profit in the manner of a third-party provider performing the same services. This philosophy seeks to ensure that LPSG provides its services on terms (including cost) that are prevailing in the market or better. If LPSG were to generate profits not reinvested in its business, Littlejohn, as its owner, would be entitled to receive a dividend. To avoid conflicts that this scenario would otherwise create, LPSG is managed, and its operations budgeted, to achieve breakeven results annually. To the extent any profits are generated by LPSG in excess of a working capital reserve, they will be refunded back to the portfolio companies that engaged LPSG during the prior calendar year. Therefore, because LPSG is not operated in a manner that seeks to maximize its revenue, this removes any financial incentive Littlejohn would have to direct portfolio company business to LPSG for the purpose of generating profit for Littlejohn. To the extent LPSG operates at a loss, that loss is borne by Littlejohn. With the expectation that a portfolio company will have a need to use LPSG’s services and will benefit from such use, upon acquisition and then again annually, Littlejohn has its portfolio companies pay a retainer to LPSG in varying amounts, taking into account the needs of the specific portfolio company, its size, the value creation plan, and any other applicable factors. LPSG’s charges for services provided to the portfolio company during the year are credited against the retainer until the retainer is fully exhausted. To the extent the LPSG charges for services during the year are less than the retainer amount and there is a balance remaining at the end of the year, that balance will be carried forward to the following year and added to the annual retainer due from the portfolio company. All amounts in the retainer account are available for use by the portfolio company to offset LPSG charges for services at any time. If, upon sale, there is a remaining balance in a portfolio company’s retainer account, the entirety of that balance will be credited to the portfolio company.

Side Letter Agreements.

Littlejohn has entered into side letter agreements with certain investors that provide such investors with additional or differential rights, including but not limited to excuse rights applicable to particular investments (which may increase the percentage interest of other investors in, and contribution obligations of other investors with respect to such investments), information rights, waiver of certain confidentiality obligations and withdrawal or transfer rights. Portfolio Company Relationships

The Partnerships’ portfolio companies may be counterparties or participants in agreements, transactions or other arrangements with portfolio companies of other investment funds managed by Littlejohn or other Littlejohn affiliates that, although Littlejohn determines to be consistent with the requirements of such Partnerships’ governing agreements, might not have otherwise been entered into but for the affiliation with Littlejohn, and which may involve fees and/or servicing payments to Littlejohn-affiliated entities which are not subject to the management fee offset provisions. For example, Littlejohn may cause portfolio companies to enter into agreements regarding group procurement, contractual relationships for goods or services between portfolio companies (which portfolio companies may or may not be held as investments of the same Partnership)and other similar operational initiatives that may result in commissions or similar payments, including related to a portion of the savings achieved by the portfolio company. Common Service Providers

Littlejohn and Littlejohn affiliates may engage other common service providers. In such circumstances, there will be a conflict of interest between Littlejohn and Littlejohn affiliates in determining whether to engage such service providers, including the possibility that Littlejohn will favor the engagement or continued engagement of such persons if it receives a benefit from such service providers, such as lower fees, that it would not receive absent the engagement of such service provider by the Littlejohn affiliates. Co-Investments

Littlejohn may offer investors and other third parties the opportunity to co-invest in particular investments alongside the Partnerships. Co-investment opportunities offered to investors will be allocated as determined by the Littlejohn Partnerships’ general partners in their discretion, and there is no guarantee for any investor that it will be offered co-investment opportunities. As a general matter, the Littlejohn Partnerships’ general partners, in determining the allocation of co- investment opportunities, generally expect to take into account various facts and circumstances deemed relevant by the Littlejohn Partnerships’ general partners, including among others, whether a potential coinvestor has expressed interest in evaluating co-investment opportunities, whether a potential coinvestor has a history of participating in co-investment opportunities with Littlejohn, the size of the potential co-investor’s interest to be held in the underlying portfolio company as a result of the applicable Partnership’s investment (which is likely to be based on the size of the potential investor’s capital commitment and/or investment in the applicable Partnership), whether the potential coinvestor has demonstrated a long-term or continuing commitment to the potential success of Littlejohn, the applicable Partnership, or other co-investment and/or other Partnerships, and such other factors that Littlejohn deems relevant under the circumstances. The terms and conditions of any co-investment opportunities will generally be negotiated by the Littlejohn Partnerships’ general partners and the potential co-investor on a case-by-case basis. Overlapping Investments

One or more Partnerships will invest in debt securities and other obligations relating to investments of other Partnerships, including portfolio companies in which such other Partnerships make or have an investment. Conflicts of interest will likely arise between or among the Partnerships in connection with such debt securities and other obligations. For example, if a Partnership makes or has an equity investment in a portfolio company in which another Partnership has an investment, or if one Partnership, through the purchase of debt obligations or otherwise, becomes a lender to a portfolio company in which another Partnership has a debt or equity investment, or if two or more Partnerships, participate in separate tranches of a fundraising with respect to a portfolio company, Littlejohn will generally have conflicting loyalties between its duties to the Partnerships. Littlejohn’s Conflicts of Interest policy provides guidance with respect to avoiding, mitigating and eliminating such conflicts. It should be noted, however, that is certain circumstances actions may be taken for the benefit of a Partnership that are adverse to another Partnership and vice versa. In addition, subject to the terms of the applicable governing documents, which shall control, in connection with such shared investment, Littlejohn will generally seek to implement certain procedures to mitigate conflicts of interest which typically involve (i) a forbearance of rights, including certain non-economic rights, relating to the Partnerships, such as where Littlejohn causes a Partnership to decline to exercise certain control-and/or foreclosure- related rights with respect to a portfolio company (including following the vote of other third party lenders generally -- or otherwise recusing itself with respect to decisions -- and/or (ii) the applicable general partner or manager may cause a Partnership to recuse itself from participating in any decisions related to equity or debt securities and/or other obligations held by such Partnership, including in each case with respect to actions and/or decisions with respect to defaults, foreclosures, workouts, restructurings, and/or exit opportunities), subject to certain limitations. There can be no assurance that any such conflict will be resolved in favor of a Partnership and Littlejohn may be required to take action where it will have conflicting loyalties between its duties to the Partnerships which may adversely impact a Partnership. In addition, Littlejohn may structure an investment to permit another Partnership focused on credit investments to participate in one or more debt tranches of the capital structure of a portfolio company of a buyout Partnership (either together with, or separate from, participation alongside the portfolio investment made by the buyout Partnership). Littlejohn may face conflicts of interest arising from the different interests held by different Partnerships in the underlying portfolio company (e.g., with respect to terms of high yield securities or other debt or other instruments, the enforcement of covenants, the terms of recapitalizations and the resolution of workouts or bankruptcies). It is possible that in a bankruptcy proceeding one Partnership’s interests may be adversely affected by virtue of the involvement and actions of another Partnership relating to its investment. Subscription Facility and Capital Calls

A general partner may fund investments with proceeds from drawdowns under one or more revolving credit facilities (the collateral for which can be, for example, the undrawn capital commitments of investors) prior to calling commitments. The interest expense and other costs of any such borrowings will be expenses of the applicable Partnership and, accordingly, decrease net returns of such Partnership. The preferred return will begin accruing only when capital contributions to fund such investments, or repay borrowings used to fund such investments, are actually made. In light of the foregoing, the general partners have an incentive to cause Partnerships to borrow in this manner in lieu of drawing down commitments. As a general matter, use of leverage in lieu of drawing down commitment amplifies returns (either negative or positive) to limited partners. For additional information regarding the foregoing or the risks and conflicts with respect to any Partnership or investment vehicle sponsored by Littlejohn, please see the Confidential Private

Placement Memorandum, if applicable, or subscription documents of the applicable Littlejohn Partnership or investment vehicle.

securities or other instruments to buy or sell; (2) the total amount of securities or other instruments to buy or sell; and (3) the executing broker or dealer for any transaction, irrespective of the commission rates or commission equivalents such broker or dealer charges. Littlejohn seeks to select brokers based upon the brokers’ ability to provide best execution for the transaction. In making its decisions regarding the allocation of brokerage transactions for Partnerships and in seeking best execution, Littlejohn will consider a variety of factors, of which commission price is not the only concern. This is partly due to the fact that in many cases, commission cost is not possible to determine due to the nature of the pricing structure the brokers use, making the cost of execution less relevant in seeking best execution than an overall assessment of the totality of circumstances for each trade. Research and Soft Dollar Benefits

Brokers through which Littlejohn effects transactions may provide Littlejohn with investment research and other products and services that are generally made available to all institutional investors doing business with such brokers. These bundled services are made available to Littlejohn on an unsolicited basis and without regard to the rates of commissions or spreads charged or paid by Littlejohn or the volume of business Littlejohn directs to such broker- dealers. Since these products and services are merely made available by brokers as part of a bundled business package to Littlejohn, which may or may not use them, it is Littlejohn’s understanding that such brokers do not set discrete prices for such products and services. Accordingly, Littlejohn does not separately compensate such brokers for the provision of such services and does not believe that it “pays-up” for such brokers’ services since the brokers do not break out the costs for such services. Aggregation of Orders

Littlejohn may aggregate trades for different Partnerships in securities, distressed debt and other obligations when such aggregation is expected to result in best execution and be in the best interest of all participating Partnerships. All Partnerships participating in block trades must receive the average price and pay a proportional share of any trading costs, based upon the allocation of the trade among the Partnerships. The guidelines Littlejohn follows in allocating trades among Partnerships are described in Item 10 - Other Financial Industry Activities and Affiliations.

Littlejohn requires each portfolio company to prepare regular operating reports and financial statements and evaluates each portfolio company’s performance at regular meetings of the Firm’s investment professionals. The credit portfolios are reviewed on a regular basis in order to assess exposure and performance expectations. Each holding is monitored on an ongoing basis by a designated Littlejohn employee. The Managing Directors responsible for managing the Littlejohn Credit portfolios ensure that the securities or other financial instruments held by the relevant vehicle are consistent with the portfolio parameters set forth in the relevant governing documents. Similarly, the Financial Solutions Strategy portfolios, which are overseen by the Managing Directors responsible for managing the Littlejohn Credit Strategy, are reviewed on a regular basis by the Financial Solutions Strategy investment professionals. The investment professionals for Direct Lending conduct comprehensive due diligence covering key aspects of a potential investment and prepare a credit memorandum containing due diligence findings and relevant credit and business analyses and recommendations. The credit memorandum is then presented to Putnam Hill’s investment committee which must approve the investment before formal commitment documents are prepared and negotiated with the borrower. The investment committee also determines appropriate investment amounts and suggests ongoing monitoring requirements consistent with Putnam Hill’s policies and procedures. Once investments are made, Putnam Hill regularly monitors the liquidity and credit profile of the Direct Lending Partnerships’ overall portfolios and individual statements. Putnam Hill performs ongoing quarterly reviews the Partnerships’ portfolios and utilizes and internal credit rating system to characterize and monitor credit profile, liquidity and expected level of return on each investment. Monitoring of the Partnerships’ portfolio will involve regular review of each borrower’s financial performance to assess financial trends, appropriate courses of action, as necessary, and to evaluate overall quality of the portfolio, including daily review of any late payment of interest or fees by borrowers, monthly review of financial statements of borrowers, and quarterly review of financial performance relative to expectations, covenant compliance and internal risk ratings. The Managing Directors responsible for supervising the Littlejohn Credit Strategy are members of the Putnam Hill Investment Committee. Reports to Investors

All investors receive, at least quarterly, reports showing the current estimated value of their

investment. In addition, the Partnerships issue audited financial statements at least annually. In addition, each pooled investment vehicle provides information to its investors applicable to that vehicle that may include information regarding investments, market conditions or values.

As discussed in Item 5 – Fees and Compensation above, Littlejohn may receive Advisory Fees in respect of services it provides to portfolio companies, and may receive transaction fees in connection with the acquisition or disposition of portfolio companies. In addition, Littlejohn may receive “breakup” fees in connection with proposed investments which are not consummated. A percentage of the Advisory Fees and any breakup fees Littlejohn receives will be applied to reduce the quarterly management fee of the applicable Partnership, as detailed in the governing documents of the Partnerships. If Littlejohn receives any transaction fees in connection with the acquisition or disposition of portfolio companies, such transactions fees will be used to pay or reimburse the applicable Partnership for costs and expenses incurred by such Partnership in connection with any transaction (whether or not consummated) for which the Partnership has not previously been reimbursed. Executive Funds and co-investment vehicles do not pay any management fees, and as noted above, the pro-rata portion of Advisory Fees and other fees that would be allocated for the benefit of the Executive Funds, certain co-investment vehicles and, for that matter, to any other Partnerships that are not entitled to a pro-rata portion of such Advisory Fees or other fees, as set forth in the respective Partnerships’ governing agreements of such other Partnerships, are allocated to, and retained by, the Adviser. Putnam Hill may receive fees generated in connection with the origination, acquisition, holding or disposition of the Partnerships’ investments, including directors’, origination, syndication, transaction, monitoring, consent, amendment, commitment, ticking, break-up and other similar fees in connection with Partnership investments, net of certain expenses, which will reduce the Management Fee otherwise payable by Partnership limited partners. However, fees received by Putnam Hill from a portfolio issuer or any other person, including the Fund, as payment to Putnam Hill for consulting, advisory, loan agent or loan servicing or similar services that are provided to such persons by Putnam Hill solely in their capacity as an arranger or agent of an investment of the Fund (e.g., an agency fee or arrangement fee payable only to the agent under the applicable credit facility and not paid to, or for the benefit of, each lender in respect of their commitment thereunder) will not reduce the Management Fee otherwise payable by Partnership limited partners.

Although such restrictions vary from vehicle to vehicle, they typically include restrictions on the types of securities and other assets the Partnership may invest in, the amount of the Partnership’s assets that may be invested in single portfolio company and the geographical regions in which the Partnership may invest. In addition, a Partnership may enter into separate agreements, commonly referred to as “side letters”, with certain investors, which agreements, among other things, may provide additional limitations on the general partner’s authority to select investments on behalf of the applicable Partnership.

In situations where Littlejohn votes the securities of a portfolio company for which a member of Littlejohn serves on the board of directors, Littlejohn has determined that it does not inherently present a conflict of interest as the purpose for serving on the board is to maximize the return on the Partnership’s investment and to ensure that the Partnership’s interests are protected. Investors in the Partnerships may obtain a copy of Littlejohn’s Proxy Voting Policy, as well as applicable proxy voting records, by sending a written request to Mr. Kenneth Warren (Littlejohn’s Chief Compliance Officer) at the address set forth on the cover page of this Brochure.
