Select Equity Group, L.P.: investment adviser

Loening is the controlling member of the General Partner. On November 26, 2013, the Firm succeeded to the registrations of SEGI, which was registered with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) in 1992, and SOA, which was registered with the SEC in 2006. Types of Advisory Services For Our Individual Clients For Our Individual Clients in Our U.S. Long-Only Strategy We offer a long-only equity management program that utilizes fundamental analysis to select stocks, with a view towards capital appreciation. The Firm will generally maintain cash positions for accounts in this strategy when, in its opinion, market conditions limit investment opportunities meeting the standards it has established for investments, however, money market reserves have typically ranged between 0% and 20%, depending on market conditions. Clients may terminate an investment advisory contract and withdraw capital or securities from their accounts at any time subject to any applicable notice provisions. Though client accounts are managed independently, we use a similar investment approach in substantially all our separately managed accounts in this strategy. In addition, we generally limit our portfolio of securities to fewer than forty stocks in each account. We believe this approach allows for the continuous and thorough evaluation of all accounts and all equities held. As a general matter, we do not attempt to “time” the market or to predict overall macro-economic trends. Instead, we seek to make investments in good businesses with strong managements that we believe to be inefficiently valued by the markets. We are focused on owning businesses which are profitable, have growing sales and stable or expanding profit margins and healthy or rapidly improving balance sheets. We may from time to time sell securities in client accounts to capture losses and seek to create tax efficiencies. We offer the foregoing services in conjunction with several fee arrangements at the option of the client. Certain fee arrangements are based on a percentage of assets under management; others include an asset-based fee and a performance-based fee. The performance-based fee arrangements are available only to clients who meet certain financial and/or sophistication requirements, as hereinafter described. The fees charged to such individual clients are discussed in Item 5 below. For Our Individual Clients in Other Strategies We also offer other strategies with different or negotiated fee schedules and other terms, including accounts that are similar in strategy to certain of the Private Funds, as defined below. General In accordance with Rule 3a-4 of the Investment Company Act of 1940, SEG obtains sufficient client information to ensure that accounts are managed on an individualized basis and accepts reasonable restrictions imposed by clients. . For Our “Private Fund” Clients The Firm also serves as investment manager to certain private funds (each a “Private Fund”), which are managed

in accordance with the applicable investment strategy described below in Item 8 and the methodology described in its confidential private offering memorandum (“Offering Memorandum”). The general partner of each Private Fund that is organized as a limited partnership is an affiliate of the Firm. Furthermore, an affiliate of the Firm serves on the Board of Directors of each Private Fund that is organized as a Cayman Islands exempted company. Private Funds may have multiple classes of limited partnership interests or shares. The classes may differ in terms of fees, liquidity rights or other features as described in the Offering Memorandum for the Private Fund (or any supplement thereto). The Private Funds may, without notice to other investors, enter into (and have entered into) “side letter” agreements with certain prospective or existing investors granting them, among other things, special liquidity rights, performance compensation waivers or reductions, hurdle rate modifications, management fee reductions or modifications, withdrawal or redemption fee waivers or reductions, specialized diligence requests and/or other more favorable investment terms than the terms that are described in the applicable Offering Memorandum. The granting of preferred terms to certain investors is solely at the discretion of the Firm, an affiliate that serves as general partner of the Private Fund or the Board of Directors of the Private Fund, as applicable, and the Private Funds shall have no obligation to offer such differing or additional rights, terms or conditions to all investors. We also offer Private Fund strategies as separately managed accounts to clients who meet certain financial and/or sophistication requirements with different or negotiated fee schedules and other terms. The fees charged to Private Funds are discussed in Item 5 below. Advisory or Sub-Advisory Services to Registered Investment Vehicles We offer advisory or sub-advisory services to certain registered commingled investment vehicles, including UCITS sub-funds, COLs sub-funds and 1940 Act funds (collectively, “Registered Advisory Clients”), certain of which vehicles are sponsored by the Firm (such sponsored Registered Advisory Clients, the “Sponsored Registered Funds”). The investment strategies offered to our Registered Advisory Clients may be the same or similar to our Private Fund strategies; provided that they will be subject to any regulatory requirements applicable to, or other investment restrictions imposed by, such Registered Advisory Clients. The fees charged to Registered Advisory Clients are discussed in Item 5 below. Additional Information The investment terms offered to different clients pursuing the same or similar investment strategies differ in some cases. For example, certain separately managed account clients or Registered Advisory Clients have been offered different liquidity terms than other separately managed account, Registered Advisory Clients and Private Fund clients pursuing the same or similar investment strategy. By way of another example, certain separately managed account clients or Registered Advisory Clients have information sharing terms that are more extensive than other clients. Prospective and existing clients should consider these possible conflicts of interest in making their decision to invest or remain invested. Assets Under Management All individual client accounts (subject to any agreed upon client guidelines or restrictions), Private Funds and Registered Advisory Client accounts are managed on a discretionary basis. As of December 31, 2025, we manage approximately $36,383,791,684 (gross) on a discretionary basis and $0.00 on a non-discretionary basis.

The performance-based fee arrangement is available only to clients who meet certain financial and/or sophistication requirements, as hereinafter described. As discussed in Item 4 above, we often provide asset management services for clients on an asset-based fee basis. We generally charge an annual management fee between 0% (for employees, principals and certain affiliates) and 2% of assets under management paid (on a prorated basis) at the end of every calendar quarter. Fees are based on the fair market value of the portfolio under management, generally at the closing date of each calendar quarter (March 31, June 30, September 30, December 31) after all fees (other than the management fee) and commissions. In the event that the client terminates the managed account between quarterly billing cycles or adds or withdraws funds between quarterly billing cycles, the client is billed on the prorated annual fee rate applicable to its account based on the assets under management as of the termination date or addition or withdrawal date, as appropriate. For individual clients, generally, we will submit to that client or its custodian a bill for management fees each quarter. Where the client’s custodian receives the bill for management fees, such custodian will generally deduct our management fees from those individual clients’ custodial accounts. Certain clients have requested that we send them a bill for management fees each billing cycle and they, in turn, either request that the custodian deduct our fee from their account or otherwise settle the invoices outside of their account. Fees are based on the fair market value of the portfolio under management, generally at the closing date of each calendar quarter (March 31, June 30, September 30, December 31) after all fees (other than the management fee) and commissions. We have agreed and may continue to agree to provide asset management services for clients on a performance fee basis, provided that such clients meet the “qualified client” standards established by the SEC under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940 (the “Advisers Act”). In such cases, the fees may be individually negotiated and will typically involve both a performance-based fee and an asset-based fee. All performance-based fees will comply with Section 205 of the Advisers Act and Rule 205-3 thereunder, as applicable. In certain cases, the performance fees are subject to a 5% performance hurdle. In other cases, the performance fees are subject to the outperformance of a particular index. In such cases, because the performance fee is determined based on the outperformance of an index, it is possible that the performance fee would be payable even if such client’s account had depreciated in value or that the performance fee could exceed the appreciation in the value of such client’s account. For individual clients with performance-based compensation arrangements, the performance compensation is generally assessed at the end of the calendar year based on the portfolio’s fair market value as of the applicable year-end (inclusive of any portfolio contributions within the given period, which are treated as individual tranches), or, as appropriate, the date of portfolio withdrawals or portfolio termination. Typically, we will submit a bill for performance-based fees, if any, annually to the client or its custodian. The client may choose whether to have its custodian deduct our performancebased fees from those individual clients’ custodial accounts or to settle the bill outside of their custodial accounts. If a client’s assets are invested in a money market mutual fund (which in some cases has been selected as a cash management option by the client) or exchange traded funds, such assets will be subject to management and other fees charged by such fund, as well as the advisory fee charged by us. As a result, the client will in effect be paying two advisory fees with respect to the assets invested in the money market fund or exchange traded fund.

For Our Other Individual Clients The fee schedules described above relate to our U.S. Long-Only Strategy. We manage and offer other strategies with different or negotiated fee schedules and terms, including accounts that are similar in strategy to certain of the Private Funds. Those fee schedules may include an asset-based fee component and/or (provided that the client meets the “qualified client” standards established by the SEC under the Advisers Act) a performance-based fee component and vary based on the relevant account’s strategy in addition to any other terms negotiated with each client. For Our Private Fund Clients Certain Private Fund clients pay a management fee in an amount equal to 0.0% to 2.00% per annum of net asset value. Each Private Fund may have multiple classes of limited partnership interests (“Interests”) or shares (“Shares”). The classes differ in terms of fees, liquidity rights or other features as described in the Offering Memorandum for the Private Fund or applicable supplements thereto. Certain classes of Interests or Shares of the Private Funds are also subject to an incentive allocation or, in the case of the Private Equity strategy, carried interest (“Performance Compensation”) equal to 10% to 20% of net gains; in certain cases, the Performance Compensation is subject to a 5-10% net performance hurdle. In certain cases, Performance Compensation only applies to net gains that bring the investor to a new “high water mark.” In other cases, the Performance Compensation is subject to the outperformance of a particular index. In such cases, because the Performance Compensation is determined based on the outperformance of an index, it is possible that Performance Compensation would apply even if such investor’s capital account or per share net asset value had depreciated in value or that the Performance Compensation could exceed the appreciation in the value of such investor’s Interests or Shares. In the case of the private equity funds, the Performance Compensation is subject to a preferred return. With respect to the Private Equity strategy, the Firm receives monitoring or other fees paid to it by the portfolio companies held by the strategy. Our employees, principals and certain affiliates are generally not charged asset-based fees or Performance Compensation in connection with any investment they may make in the Private Funds. The Firm has the discretion to modify its fees on a case by case basis and has done so in the past. We have offered and expect to continue to offer other strategies with different or negotiated fee schedules and other terms, including managed accounts and/or private funds that are similar in strategy to certain of the Private Funds. For Private Funds, management fees and Performance Compensation are deducted from or charged to the applicable investor’s capital account or shares of the Private Fund. Generally, a Private Fund’s management fee is charged monthly in arrears and Performance Compensation is allocated at the end of the fiscal year based on the portfolio’s fair market value as of the applicable fiscal year-end, or the termination or withdrawal/redemption date, as appropriate. For Our Registered Advisory Clients The UCITS funds we sponsor and sub-advise (the “Sponsored UCITS”) charge asset-based management fees in respect of our investment management services, which are payable quarterly in arrears out of the assets of the Sponsored UCITS. Such management fees differ depending on the sub-fund and share series in which the applicable investor is invested, and additional operating fees and expenses apply. The 1940 Act Fund sponsored and advised by the Firm (the “Sponsored RIC”) charges a 1.00% asset-based fee, accrued daily and payable monthly in arrears based upon the Sponsored RIC’s average daily net assets, subject to a 0.25% waiver through July 1, 2026. Additionally, the Sponsored RIC will pay the Firm a 20.00% incentive fee (provided that such incentive fee only applies to net gains that bring the Sponsored RIC to a new “high water mark”) annually or, if sooner, in connection with repurchase of Sponsored RIC shares or the payment of a dividend or other distribution which is not reinvested in the Sponsored RIC.

The fees paid by our other Registered Advisory Clients (the “Third-Party Registered Clients”) are separately negotiated and will vary based on investment strategy and client type in addition to any other fee terms or methodologies that may be agreed to with each client. Other Fees And Expenses That The Client May Pay In Connection With Our Advisory Services: In addition to the fees outlined above, and brokerage and other transactional costs discussed more fully in Item 12 below, our individual clients and Registered Advisory Clients will bear certain additional fees and expenses. Individual clients and Third-Party Registered Clients incur custodial fees charged by their custodian. The Sponsored Registered Funds bear certain organizational, offering, accounting, valuation, legal, custodial, risk management, tax and other operating expenses. Additionally, the Sponsored UCITS bear the costs of a fee payable to the Sponsored UCITS’ Management Company, as well as an administration fee and a depositary fee. The Sponsored RIC similarly pays certain administration, fund accounting and transfer agency fees, each as described in its offering documents. Class A of the Sponsored RIC also pays a distribution and servicing fee out of the assets of such class. Such fees and expenses are described further in the applicable offering documents. If a separately managed account client and/or Registered Advisory Client’s assets are invested in a money market mutual fund (which in some cases has been selected as a cash management option by the client), such assets will be subject to management and other fees charged by such fund, as well as the advisory fee charged by us. As a result, those clients will in effect be paying two advisory fees with respect to the assets invested in the money market fund. In addition to the fees outlined above and brokerage and other transactional costs discussed more fully in Item 12 below, the Private Funds, and not their general partner (if any) or the Firm, will bear a portion of any expenses associated with the Firm’s research activities and their own accounting, valuation, legal, administration, custodial, risk management, tax and other operating expenses (including the expenses of consultants or advisors, insurance costs, offering expenses, and brokerage fees), as well as any regulatory compliance and/or reporting expenses related to their activities, operation, fees, expenses and/or holdings, in each case including any related technology or software expenses. If the assets of a Private Fund are invested in a money market mutual fund (or similar cash management vehicle) or an exchange traded fund, such assets will be subject to management and other fees charged by such fund, as well as the management fee charged by us. As a result, such Private Funds will in effect be paying two management fees with respect to the assets, if any, invested in the money market fund (or similar cash management vehicle) or exchange traded fund. The Firm has adopted an expense allocation policy (the “Expense Allocation Policy”) which it utilizes in determining the types of expenses that are appropriate to be allocated to and borne by its clients. In connection therewith, the Firm seeks to ensure that expenses (the “Permissible Expenses”) allocated to and paid by its clients are consistent with, and permissible under, the applicable advisory contracts, governing agreements, Offering Memoranda and other operative documents (the “Governing Documents”) governing such clients and that shared Permissible Expenses are allocated among the Firm’s clients in a manner intended by the Firm to be fair and equitable to its clients, such that no client is consistently advantaged or disadvantaged in relation to any other client, or disadvantaged in relation to the Firm. In furtherance of the foregoing, in order to ensure that expenses are determined, allocated and billed correctly and consistently with its Expense Allocation Policy, within a reasonable period following the end of each calendar semi-annual period ending June 30 and December 31, the Firm shall identify all of the expenses associated with Firm’s research activities (“Research Expenses”) and the accounting, legal, administration, risk management and other operating expenses borne by the Firm, including expenses of consultants, advisors, insurance and offering expenses (collectively with Research Expenses, “Administrative Expenses”) that are associated with the operations of the Private Funds and the separately managed accounts. Registered Advisory Clients are considered separately managed account clients for these purposes. All such Administrative Expenses are reviewed to determine which are Permissible Expenses (including any Research Expense) incurred for the benefit of multiple Private Funds and separately managed accounts and not allocable solely to an individual Firm client. This determination shall be made in consideration of multiple criteria including, among other things, applicable provisions of such Private Fund’s and/or separately managed account’s Governing Documents, how the services or products are actually used and market best practices (including guidance interpreting Section 28(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended). The Firm will also periodically review and identify any soft dollar credits available to pay for certain of the Research Expenses. Research Expenses may first be reduced by available soft dollar credits before being

-8-

allocated amongst the Firm’s clients. Following such assessments, if deemed appropriate under the circumstances and consistent with the other provisions of the Expense Allocation Policy, the Research Expenses and/or other Administrative Expenses will be allocated among the Firm’s Private Fund and separately managed account clients pro rata, based on either (i) the trading statistics traded by each Private Fund, separately managed account client in relation to all trading in every strategy of the Firm’s Private Funds, separately managed accounts that benefited from such Research Expenses and/or other Administrative Expenses, as applicable, or (ii) the assets under management in each Private Fund or separately managed account, or (iii) another methodology which is deemed fair and appropriate for the expense allocation. For purposes of these calculations, the trading statistics method of allocation is based on the trading volume, measured in notional dollars, of each client. Generally, each Private Fund directly bears the Research Expenses and/or other Administrative Expenses allocated to such Private Fund, while the Research Expenses and/or other Administrative Expenses allocated to the separately managed accounts clients are borne by the Firm. While these Research Expenses and Administrative Expenses are generally not borne by the Sponsored Registered Funds, such funds do bear certain of their organizational expenses and of their (and their service providers’) operating expenses (including legal and other expenses relating to the Firm’s management of such products), as described above. Because certain of the Research Expenses and/or other Administrative Expenses are either allocable to, or payable by, the Firm as described above, the Firm faces certain potential conflicts of interest in determining both (i) the portion (if any) of these expenses that is allocable to, and payable by, the Firm and (ii) the portion of expenses that is allocable to the separately managed accounts and payable by the Firm, versus the portion that is allocable to, and payable by, the Private Funds. The Firm will also face potential conflicts of interest in allocating expenses among more than one Private Fund depending on, among other factors, the nature of each Private Fund’s investors and the fees payable to the Firm by such investors. Finally, the manner in which SEG allocates Research Expenses creates the effect where certain clients and/or investment strategies bear the cost of certain expenses for which they may not derive direct benefits. The Firm has in place policies and procedures that it believes are reasonably designed to mitigate these potential conflicts of interest.

Furthermore, not all classes of Interests or Shares within the same Private Fund are subject to the same performancebased compensation arrangements. Classes of Interests or Shares that are subject to a higher performance-based compensation rate may create an additional incentive for us to take greater risks for the Private Fund as a whole than otherwise would be the case with a Private Fund offering only a single class of Interests or Shares subject to a lower performance-based compensation rate. It is our policy, to the extent practicable, to allocate investment opportunities among our clients, over a period of time, on a fair and equitable basis. We have adopted a Trade Allocation Policy that we believe will realize that objective and mitigate the conflicts discussed above. Additionally, purchases or sales of investments for a particular Private Fund are generally made without regard to class of Interests or Shares unless subject to regulatory or contractual investment limitations. The Firm has adopted policies and procedures that require its employees or certain third-party intermediaries to perform a suitability analysis of each prospective client’s investment objectives, financial circumstances and sophistication, before recommending a sponsored investment strategy.

Long-Only strategy invests primarily in U.S.-based small and mid cap companies, defined as those companies whose market capitalizations fall within the range of market capitalizations represented in the Russell Midcap® Index (in each case as measured at the time of the strategy’s initial purchase). The U.S. Long-Only strategy generally has 25-40 long positions which are typically held for a multi-year time frame. U.S. Core Strategy: This is a long-only equity portfolio which can invest globally across the market capitalization spectrum, but has primarily invested in the U.S. As with our other strategies, this investment strategy is driven by a research intensive, fundamental bottom-up selection of individual equities (typically between 40-60 positions) generally with a multi-year investment horizon. Concentrated Opportunistic Long-Only Strategy: This is a long-only, concentrated global equity strategy focused on identifying high-quality businesses. The strategy has historically held approximately 10-20 positions. U.S. Long/Short Strategy: This is a long-biased long/short portfolio without geographic or market capitalization restrictions and which primarily invests in equities (typically between 50-80 long positions and 80-110 short positions); the strategy’s investment team employs a fundamental research process to identify what we believe to be high-quality businesses on the long side and companies with deteriorating fundamentals on the short side. International Long/Short Strategy: This is a long-biased long/short portfolio which primarily invests in international equities. International Long-Only Strategy: This is a long-only portfolio which primarily invests in international equities across the market capitalization spectrum (generally between 30-60 positions). Private Equity Strategy: This is a private equity strategy that pursues North American buyout investments in lower middle market private companies (for example, businesses with sub $250 million enterprise values). International Long-Only Large Cap Strategy: This is a long-only portfolio which primarily invests in international equities of companies with market capitalizations in excess of $12.5 billion at the time of the strategy’s initial investment (generally between 30-60 positions). Global Long-Only Large Cap Strategy: This is a long-only, global portfolio which primarily invests in equities of companies with market capitalizations in excess of $12.5 billion at the time of the strategy’s initial investment (generally between 30-60 positions). Global Long/Short Large Cap Strategy: This is a long/short global equity strategy which invests primarily in companies with market capitalizations in excess of $15.0 billion at the time of the strategy’s initial investment. Investment in this strategy is offered to Firm employees only. U.S. Small Cap Strategy: This is a long-only U.S. small cap equity strategy that invests primarily in small cap equity securities (generally, the equity securities of companies whose market capitalizations fall within the range of market capitalizations represented in the Russell 2000® Index, in each case as measured at the time of the strategy’s initial purchase (generally between 35-65 positions). Concentrated Long/Short Strategy: This is a concentrated long/short equity strategy that invests in companies

well-positioned to capitalize on the evolution of Mobility as well as opportunistic special situations. U.S. Mid Cap Biased Long-Only Strategy: This is a long-only equity strategy that invests primarily in companies domiciled, incorporated or listed in the U.S., although the strategy may also invest in non-U.S. securities. The strategy may have a bias toward U.S. small and mid capitalization companies (companies whose market capitalizations fall within the range of market capitalizations represented in the Russell Midcap® Index (in each case as measured at the time of initial purchase)). Equity Market Neutral Strategy: This is a strategy which seeks to generate absolute returns through a marketneutral long/short equity approach, balancing long and short positions to maintain minimal net market exposure. The Firm employs a systematic, research-driven process that aggregates proprietary signals based on recurring business and stock characteristics to construct a portfolio targeting stable, low-correlation returns. We obtain exposure to particular issuers or securities for our Private Funds (and may for certain of our individual clients and Registered Advisory Clients) through various types of derivatives transactions, including, without limitation, swaps and contracts for differences. Additionally, we may hedge exposure to currency fluctuations for foreign securities owned by the Private Funds or certain Registered Advisory Clients by entering into currency forward or option transactions. Risks with respect to such transactions are more fully described under “Material Risks.” We currently advise other customized strategies with different or negotiated fee schedules and other terms, including separately managed accounts, Registered Advisory Clients and/or Private Funds that may be similar in strategy to our fourteen principal investment strategies above. To the extent we believe it is appropriate for a particular investment strategy, we may purchase, on behalf of the Private Funds, Registered Advisory Clients and separately managed accounts in such investment strategy, certain securities that are considered “new issues” under Rule 5130 and Rule 5131 (the “New Issue Rules”) of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc. (“FINRA”). “New issues” are equity securities sold in an initial public offering (“New Issues”). Under the New Issue Rules, FINRA member broker-dealers are prohibited from selling New Issues to accounts where the beneficial owners include certain types of investors, including, without limitation, affiliates of broker-dealers and executive officers and directors of any single U.S. public company (or any single non-public company meeting certain size criteria) and persons materially supported by such officers or directors, who collectively own more than 25% of an account. If any client or investor is prohibited from investing in any security by virtue of the New Issue Rules (a “Restricted Person”) and the Firm, on behalf of a Private Fund or Registered Advisory Client, chooses to invest in that security, the Restricted Person may not share in the profits or losses resulting from the Private Fund’s investment in such securities. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Firm or the Private Fund’s general partner (as applicable), in its sole and absolute discretion, may allocate a de minimis portion (no more than 10%) of the returns associated with New Issues to Restricted Persons, as permitted by Rule 5130. We have provided, and may continue to provide, investment advice with respect to entities organized as publicly traded limited partnerships. This brochure and the material contained herein are not meant to be, nor shall it be construed as, an offer or solicitation of an offer for the purchase or sale of any of the Private Funds described. Material Risks There are a number of risks associated with an investment in our investment products. The following is a nonexhaustive list of some of the risks that a client should consider carefully before investing in any of our investment products. Clients should also review the offering materials, and other literature concerning the Firm or the Private Funds which have additional discussion or detail concerning applicable risks including, but not limited to, those summarized herein. The first section discusses certain risks generally applicable to all our strategies. The subsequent sections discuss specific investment risks of investing in our Private Funds and for Registered Advisory Clients and individual client accounts that may be managed using a strategy similar to that used by a Private Fund.

General Risks Associated with All Our Investment Products Past Performance. There can be no assurance that a strategy will achieve its investment objectives. The past investment performance of a strategy is not necessarily indicative of the future results of such strategy or of an investment in any separate account, Private Fund or Sponsored Registered Fund. Our investment program should be evaluated on the basis that there can be no assurance that our assessments of the short-term or long-term prospects of investments will prove accurate. Overall Investment Risk. All securities investments risk the loss of capital. The nature of the securities to be purchased and traded by a client and the investment techniques and strategies to be employed by the Firm may increase such risk. The identification of investment opportunities is a difficult task, and there can be no assurance that such opportunities will be successfully recognized. While the Firm will devote its best efforts to the management of a client’s portfolio, there can be no assurance that a client will not incur losses. Returns generated from a client’s investments may not adequately compensate the client (or investor in a Private Fund or Sponsored Registered Fund) for the business and financial risks assumed. Clients and investors should be aware that it may lose all or part of its investment in an account, Sponsored Registered Fund or Private Fund. Many unforeseeable events, including actions by various government agencies and domestic and international economic and political developments, may cause sharp market fluctuations which could adversely affect SEG-managed portfolios and their performance. Competition. The varied investment strategies and techniques engaged in by the Firm are not unique and involve a degree of risk. The accounts and investment products managed by the Firm will compete with many firms, including firms which have substantially greater financial resources and research staffs. Market Volatility. The profitability of an account or investment product managed by the Firm depends upon the Firm correctly assessing the future price movements of stocks. There can be no assurance that the Firm will be successful in accurately predicting such price movements. Speculative Investment Program and No Current Income. The investment program of an account or investment products managed by the Firm should be considered speculative, as there can be no assurance that our assessments of the short-term or long-term prospects of various investment strategies or investments will generate a profit. In view of the fact that the accounts and/or investment products managed by the Firm likely will not make distributions, an investment in an account or investment product managed by the Firm is not suitable for investors seeking current income. Illiquidity of Markets. At various times, the markets for securities purchased or sold, although organized and active, may nevertheless be “thin” or illiquid, making the purchase or sale of securities at desired prices or in desired quantities difficult or impossible. Counterparty Creditworthiness. Accounts and investment products managed by the Firm may engage in securities and financial instruments that involve counterparties. Under certain conditions, a counterparty to a transaction could default or the market for certain securities or financial instruments may become illiquid. In any case, the applicable client could experience liquidity problems. Systemic Risk. World events and/or the activities of one or more large participants in the financial markets and/or other events or activities of others could result in a temporary systemic breakdown in the normal operation of financial markets. Such events could result in the accounts and/or investment products managed by the Firm losing substantial value caused predominantly by liquidity and counterparty issues (as noted above) which could result in such accounts or investment products incurring substantial losses. General Economic Conditions. The success of the Firm’s investment activity will be affected by general economic conditions which affect the level and volatility of prices as well as the liquidity of the markets. The prices of many securities and derivative instruments are highly volatile. The price movements of the instruments held or sold short will be influenced by, among other things, interest rates, changing supply and demand relationships, inflation rates, the trade, fiscal, monetary and exchange control programs and policies of governments, and national and international political and economic events. Governments from time to time intervene, directly and by regulation, in certain markets, thereby disrupting strategies focusing on these sectors.

Unexpected changes (in either direction) in the volatility or liquidity of the markets in which an account or investment product managed by the Firm will hold positions could cause significant losses. Market Risks and Lack of Liquidity. The success of the Firm’s investment program depends to a great extent upon our ability to assess correctly the future course of price movements of the securities and other instruments in which its managed accounts and investment products invest. There can be no assurance that the Firm will accurately predict such movements. In addition, certain of the investments in which a portion of the Firm’s clients or investors’ capital may be invested, from time to time, may have limited liquidity. This lack of liquidity, together with a failure to accurately predict market movements, may adversely affect our ability to execute trade orders at desired prices. Moreover, because illiquid investments may be difficult to value, an account’s or investment product’s net asset value may fluctuate widely from one period to the next, and may not correspond to the proceeds ultimately received by such account or investment product upon the disposition of such investments. Market Disruption and Geopolitical Risk. Increased geopolitical tension induced by, among other events, instability in the Middle East, including recent conflicts with Iran, the Russian invasion of Ukraine, the ongoing hostilities between Israel and Hamas, the aftermath of the war with Iraq, and terrorist attacks in the United States and around the world have had a substantial impact on the U.S. and world economies and securities markets. The nature, scope, duration and political and economic impact of any such wars, occupations or terrorist attacks cannot be predicted with any certainty. Terrorist attacks closed some of the U.S. securities markets in 2001, and similar events could occur in the future. Wars, occupations, terrorism and related geopolitical risks have led, and may in the future lead, to increased short-term market volatility and may have adverse long-term effects on U.S. and world economies and markets generally. These risks could also adversely affect individual issuers and securities markets, regional and global economic markets for securities and commodities, interest rates, secondary trading, rating, investor psychology, credit risk, inflation and other factors relating to investments made by the Firm on behalf of its clients. The escalation of geopolitical tensions have and could in the future led to supply chain disruptions and volatility in the U.S. and global markets and resulting sanctions and penalties imposed by countries related to such conflicts could adversely affect the global economy and financial markets, leading to significant volatility in commodity prices and lack of liquidity in capital markets. As a result, these types of geopolitical events could have an adverse effect on the value of the investments held by the Firm’s clients beyond any direct exposure to issuers in the areas where any such wars, occupations or other geopolitical events occur and could result in significant investment losses. Inflation. The U.S. and other developed economies are experiencing higher-than-normal inflation rates. It remains uncertain whether substantial inflation in the U.S. and other developed economies will be sustained over an extended period of time or have a significant effect on the U.S. or other economies. Inflation and rapid fluctuations in inflation rates have had in the past, and may in the future have, negative effects on economies and financial markets. As inflation rises, a portfolio company may earn more revenue but incur higher expenses. As inflation declines, a portfolio company may not be able to reduce expenses commensurate with any resulting reduction in revenue, adversely affecting its profitability. Furthermore, wages and prices of inputs increase during periods of inflation, which can negatively impact returns on investments. In response to high inflation, central banks and governments may take corrective actions, including adjusting short-term and long-term interest rates or changing monetary policies or interest-rate policies, which may adversely impact the lending environment and the investments held by the Firm’s clients. The full impact of inflation on markets, business activity and the global economy, as well as potential changes in economic and fiscal policies that may be adopted by governments to address the same, have not yet been fully identified or understood. Developments Related to U.S. Foreign Policy. The U.S. has implemented, and indicated an intention to continue to implement, significant increases on tariffs on goods imported into the U.S., including from China. The continued implementation of tariffs (and the threat that additional tariffs may be imposed in the future) may lead to increased costs for portfolio companies, supply chain disruptions, and heightened market volatility. Tariffs also may reduce profit margins and affect overall competitiveness of portfolio companies, particularly for portfolio companies that rely on global supply chains, which could negatively impact the financial performance and valuation of portfolio companies. Additionally, we cannot predict how other countries will respond to any tariffs that may be imposed. For example, it is possible that other countries may determine to impose additional

- 15 -

tariffs on U.S. goods imported into such jurisdictions in response. Any such tariffs, whether implemented by the U.S. administration or other countries, could have an adverse effect on the performance of an account’s investments. Directorships on Boards of Public Companies. Our employees or affiliates may serve, from time to time, as directors, or in a similar capacity, with respect to public companies, the securities of which are purchased or sold on behalf of a client of the Firm. In the event that we or our affiliates (i) obtain material non-public information with respect to any portfolio company on whose board of directors our members serve or (ii) are subject to trading restrictions pursuant to the internal trading policies of such a portfolio company, the Firm may be prohibited for a period of time from engaging in transactions with respect to the securities of such a portfolio company, which prohibition may have an adverse effect on the accounts and investment products managed by the Firm. Cybersecurity. The information and technology systems of the Firm, of the custodians or administrators of the separate account clients, Private Funds or Sponsored Registered Funds and/or of the Firm’s portfolio companies may be vulnerable to damage or interruption from computer viruses, network failures, computer and telecommunication failures, infiltration by unauthorized persons and security breaches, denial-ofservice attacks on websites (i.e., efforts to make network services unavailable to intended users), usage errors by their respective professionals, power outages and catastrophic events such as fires, tornadoes, floods, hurricanes and earthquakes. If these systems are compromised, become inoperable for extended periods of time or cease to function properly, the Firm, a separate account client, a Private Fund, a Sponsored Registered Fund and/or a portfolio company may incur specific time or expense to fix or replace them and to seek to remedy the effects of such issues. The failure of these systems and/or of disaster recovery plans for any reason could cause significant interruptions in the Firm’s, a separate account client’s, a Private Fund’s, a Sponsored Registered Fund’s, an administrator’s and/or a portfolio company’s operations and result in financial losses, violations of applicable privacy and other laws and 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 the Firm’s, a client’s, a Private Fund’s, Sponsored Registered Fund’s and/or a portfolio company’s reputation, subject any such entity and its respective affiliates to legal claims or otherwise affect their business and financial performance. In addition, cyber-attacks may render records and other data integral to the functioning of the Firm’s clients inaccessible or inaccurate or incomplete. Substantial costs may be incurred by the Firm, a separate account, a Private Fund, a Sponsored Registered Fund and/or a portfolio company in order to resolve or prevent cyber incidents in the future. Operational Risk. The Firm has developed systems and procedures to manage operational risk. Operational risks arising from mistakes made in the confirmation or settlement of transactions, from transactions not being properly booked or accounted for, or other similar disruption in the Firm’s operations may cause the accounts and/or investment products it manages to suffer financial loss, the disruption of the Firm’s business, liability of clients or investors to third parties, regulatory intervention, or reputational damage to the Firm. The Firm relies heavily on its portfolio management, trading, financial, accounting, and other data processing systems. The ability of its systems to accommodate increasing volume of transactions could also constrain the Firm’s ability to properly manage its clients’ portfolios. Other Business Interruptions. The Firm’s investment advisory activities and operations, or the activities and operations of service providers or portfolio companies, could be interrupted or adversely affected by extraordinary events or emergency situations, including, without limitation, outbreaks of infectious diseases, epidemics or pandemics, war, terrorism, failure of technology, disasters, government macroeconomic policies, or social instability. In order to mitigate the effects of these types of events, the Firm and/or any of its portfolio companies may activate their business continuity and/or disaster recovery plans. These plans may, for example, require their employees to work and access their information technology, communications or other systems remotely. The failure of these systems and/or disaster recovery plans for any reason could cause significant business interruptions in the Firm’s, its affiliates’ and/or a portfolio company’s operations. Alternative Data. The Firm expects to obtain and use alternative data in its investment process. Alternative data may consist of datasets that have been culled from a variety of sources, such as, but not limited to, internet usage, financial transactions, mobile devices and applications that generate location, mobility and other data, surveys, and government and other public records databases (this data is sometimes referred to as “big data”

- 16 -

or “alternative data”). The Firm intends to apply this alternative data to better anticipate company-specific and macro-economic trends and otherwise to develop or improve its investment decision making process. The analysis and interpretation of alternative data involves a high degree of uncertainty and may entail significant expense, including data acquisition and technological efforts, that will be borne—at least in part— by Private Fund clients. No assurance can be given that we will be successful in utilizing alternative data in the investment process. Moreover, there has been increased scrutiny from a variety of regulators regarding the use of alternative data in this manner, and its use or misuse under current or future laws and regulations could create liability for the Firm and clients in numerous jurisdictions. We cannot predict what, if any, regulatory or other actions may be asserted with regard to alternative data, but any adverse inquiries or formal actions could cause reputational, financial, or other harm to the Firm or to clients. Conversely, any future limitations on the use of alternative data could have a material adverse impact on the performance of client portfolios. Use of Artificial Intelligence and Related Technologies. Firm personnel are permitted to utilize artificial intelligence, machine learning, large language models, natural language processing, and similar technologies (collectively, “AI Tools”) to augment and support certain investment research and operational processes; however, given that that the usage and functionality of AI Tools is complex and evolving, the Firm may determine to change its usage of, or refrain from using, AI Tools in its research and/or operational processes at any time. In addition, certain vendors, service providers and counterparties, including third-party data or research providers, may use AI Tools or provide AI Tools to the Firm. Clients and investors should be aware of the risks related to the use of AI Tools. Many AI Tools are relatively recent and novel developments and may be subject to one or more undetected errors, defects or security vulnerabilities. When using AI Tools, the Firm often has limited or no visibility over the data used to train or the technology used to create these AI Tools, as well as the accuracy and completeness of the output from such AI Tools. Further, the processes by which some AI Tools produce any particular output might be difficult (or impossible) to understand, to explain, or to replicate, and there is a risk that any particular output will be unreliable, whether because such output appears to be accurate but is not or contains other errors. Some errors may be discovered only after an AI Tool has been used by end customers or after substantial operations in the marketplace. Any errors, defects or security vulnerabilities discovered after such AI Tools are in widespread operation could result in substantial loss of revenues or assets, or material liabilities, reputational risks or sanctions. In addition, the regulatory landscape for the use of AI Tools is evolving, and the use of AI Tools may expose the Firm to new or increased governmental or regulatory scrutiny, risk of litigation, or cybersecurity vulnerabilities. There is no assurance that the Firm can successfully assert proprietary rights in output generated by the Firm’s use of AI Tools. Additional Business and Investment Risks of Private Funds and of Registered Advisory Clients and Individual Client Accounts Managed Similarly to Private Fund Strategies An investment in a Private Fund and/or a Registered Advisory Client or an individual account managed pursuant to or in a manner similar to a Private Fund strategy followed by the Firm involves a high degree of risk. Accordingly, an investment in such products is suitable only for persons of adequate financial means who have no need for liquidity with respect to their investment and who can bear the economic risk, including the possible complete loss of their investment. Depending on the investment strategy, the investment risks associated with such strategy (or similar strategies) may include some or all of the following risk factors. Additionally, Registered Advisory Clients and individual client accounts managed to a Private Fund strategy (or similar strategy) will have similar investment risks associated with such strategy. When reading the following risks any reference to “Private Fund” should be interpreted as applying to individual clients whose accounts employ an investment strategy substantially similar to a Private Fund strategy. We urge all prospective investors to discuss the risks described in the applicable investment documents and offering materials and other potential risks in detail with their professional advisors prior to making an investment decision. Investment Concentration. A Private Fund may have a high concentration of its assets in a single investment or the securities of a limited number of issuers. Such lack of diversification could magnify potential losses (or gains) because the Private Fund would be more exposed to the risks associated with, and developments affecting, an individual or small group of issuers than a fund that invests more broadly. Accordingly, the investment portfolio of a Private Fund may be subject to more rapid change in value than would be the case if a Private Fund were subject to more stringent requirements with respect to diversification among

- 17 -

companies, securities and types of securities, as well as other types of investments. Clients that employ the Concentrated Opportunistic Long-Only Strategy, Concentrated Long/Short Strategy, U.S. Mid Cap Biased LongOnly Strategy or Private Equity Strategy should give particular consideration to this risk. Investment in Small Companies. There is no limitation on the size or operating experience of the companies in which a Private Fund or an account may invest. Some small companies in which a Private Fund or an account may invest may lack management depth or the ability to generate internally or obtain externally the funds necessary for growth. Companies with new products or services could sustain significant losses if projected markets do not materialize. Further, such companies may have, or may develop, only a regional market for products or services and may be adversely affected by purely local events. Such companies may be small factors in their industries, may face intense competition from larger companies and typically entail a greater risk than investment in larger companies. Clients that employ the U.S. Long-Only Strategy, Private Equity Strategy, Concentrated Long/Short Strategy, U.S. Small Cap Strategy or U.S. Mid Cap Biased Long-Only Strategy should give particular consideration to this risk. Leverage. A Private Fund at times may trade securities on a leveraged basis, i.e., where the security can be purchased by putting up only a portion of the instrument’s value and borrowing the remainder. As a result, a relatively small downward price movement in a security may result in immediate and substantial losses to a Private Fund. The Private Fund may be required to liquidate portfolio positions at disadvantageous times to satisfy its obligations in leveraged transactions. In addition, trading on margin will result in interest charges to a Private Fund which may be substantial. Leveraged investments, including any purchase or sale of securities on margin, may result in losses in excess of the amount invested. Clients that employ the U.S. Long/Short Strategy, International Long/Short Strategy, Global Long/Short Large Cap Strategy, Concentrated Long/Short Strategy or Equity Market Neutral Strategy should give particular consideration to this risk. Short Selling. A Private Fund may engage in short selling. Selling securities short runs the risk of losing an amount greater than the amount invested. Short selling is subject to theoretically unlimited risk of loss because there is no limit on how much the price of the stock may appreciate before the short position is closed. A short sale may result in a sudden and substantial loss if, for example, an acquisition proposal is made for the subject company at a substantial premium over market price. Clients that employ the U.S. Long/Short Strategy, International Long/Short Strategy, Concentrated Long/Short Strategy, Global Long/Short Large Cap Strategy or Equity Market Neutral Strategy should give particular consideration to this risk. Reverse Repurchase Agreements. A Private Fund may enter into reverse repurchase agreements with brokers, dealers, domestic and foreign banks or other financial institutions that have been determined by the Firms to be creditworthy. In a reverse repurchase agreement, a Private Fund sells a security and agrees to repurchase it at a mutually agreed upon date and price, reflecting the interest rate effective for the term of the agreement. It may also be viewed as the borrowing of money by a Private Fund. A Private Fund’s investment of the proceeds of a reverse repurchase agreement is the speculative factor known as leverage. Reverse repurchase agreements involve the risk that the market value of the investment of the proceeds may decline below the price of the securities a Private Fund has sold but is obligated to repurchase under the agreement. In the event that the buyer of securities under a reverse repurchase agreement files for bankruptcy or becomes insolvent, a Private Fund’s use of the proceeds of the agreement may be restricted pending a determination by the other party, or its trustee or receiver whether to enforce a Private Fund’s obligation to repurchase the securities. Illiquid Securities. A portion of the Private Fund’s assets may from time to time be invested in securities and other financial instruments or obligations for which little or no market exists and/or which are restricted as to their transferability under federal or state securities laws. Securities may become illiquid after purchase by the Private Fund, particularly during stressed market conditions. Because of the absence of any trading market for these investments, the Private Fund may take longer to liquidate these positions than would be the case for publicly traded securities. Although these securities may be resold in privately negotiated transactions, the prices realized on these sales could be less than those originally paid by the Private Fund. Further, companies whose securities are not publicly traded may not be subject to public disclosure and other investor protection requirements applicable to publicly traded securities. Because illiquid investments may be difficult to value, the Private Fund’s net asset value may fluctuate widely from one period to the next.

- 18 -

Fixed Income Securities. The market values of fixed income securities tend to vary inversely with the level of interest rates. When interest rates rise, their values will tend to decline; when interest rates decline, their values generally will tend to rise. Long-term instruments are generally more sensitive to these changes than short-term instruments. Certain fixed income securities will be paid off by the obligor more slowly than anticipated when interest rates rise, causing the value of these securities to fall. Conversely, when interest rates fall, certain fixed income securities will be paid off by the obligor more quickly, and the Private Fund may have to invest the proceeds in securities with lower yields. The market value of fixed income securities and therefore their yield is also affected by the perceived ability of the issuer to make timely payments of principal and interest. Foreign Securities. A Private Fund may invest in securities of companies domiciled or operating in one or more non-U.S. countries. Investing in non-U.S. securities involves considerations and possible risks not typically involved in investing in securities of companies domiciled and operating in the United States, including instability of some governments, the possibility of expropriation, limitations on the use or removal of funds or other assets, changes in governmental administration or economic or monetary policy (in the United States or abroad) or changed circumstances in dealings between nations. The application of local tax laws (e.g., the imposition of withholding taxes on dividend or interest payments) or confiscatory taxation may also affect investment in non-U.S. securities. Relatively higher expenses may also result from investment in non-U.S. securities because of the costs that must be incurred in connection with conversions between various currencies and brokerage commissions that may be higher than in the United States. The Private Fund may hold its foreign securities and cash in foreign banks and securities depositories, which may be subject to limited or no governmental oversight. For these reasons, buying, selling and holding securities is often more expensive in foreign markets than in the United States. Non-U.S. securities markets also may be less liquid, more volatile and less subject to governmental supervision than in the United States. Such investments could be affected by other factors not present in the United States, including lack of uniform accounting, auditing and financial reporting standards and potential difficulties in enforcing contractual obligations. Clients that employ the International Long/Short Strategy, the International Long-Only Strategy, Concentrated Opportunistic Long-Only Strategy, the Global Long-Only Large Cap Strategy, the Global Long/Short Large Cap Strategy, the International Long-Only Large Cap Strategy, the Concentrated Long/Short Strategy or the Equity Market Neutral Strategy should give particular consideration to this risk. Emerging Markets. A Private Fund may invest in markets worldwide, including emerging markets. Investment in emerging market securities involves a greater degree of risk than an investment in securities of issuers based in developed countries. Among other things, emerging market securities investments may be subject to the following risks: less publicly available information; more volatile markets; less liquidity or available credit; political or economic instability; less strict securities market regulation; less favorable tax or legal provisions; price controls and other restrictive governmental actions; a greater likelihood of severe inflation; unstable currency; and war and expropriation of personal property. Emerging markets generally are not as efficient as those in developed countries. Emerging markets tend to develop unevenly and may never fully develop. In some cases, a market for the security may not exist locally and transactions will need to be made on a neighboring exchange. Volume and liquidity levels in emerging markets are lower than in developed countries. When seeking to sell emerging market securities, little or no market may exist for the securities. In addition, issuers based in emerging markets are not generally subject to uniform accounting and financial reporting standards, practices and requirements comparable to those applicable to issuers based in developed countries, thereby potentially increasing the risk of fraud or other deceptive practices. The quality and reliability of official data published by the government or securities exchanges in emerging markets may not accurately reflect the actual circumstances being reported. The issuers of some non-U.S. securities, such as banks and other financial institutions, may be subject to less stringent regulations than would be the case for issuers in developed countries and, therefore, potentially carry greater risk. In addition, a Private Fund’s investment opportunities in certain emerging markets may be restricted by legal limits on foreign investment in local securities or restrictions on the ability to convert currency or to take currencies out of certain countries. Clients that employ the International Long/Short Strategy, International Long-Only Strategy, Concentrated Opportunistic Long-Only Strategy, Global Long-Only Large Cap Strategy, the Global Long/Short Large Cap Strategy, International LongOnly Large Cap Strategy, the Concentrated Long/Short Strategy or the Equity Market Neutral Strategy should give particular consideration to this risk.

Currency Exposure. A portion of a Private Fund's assets may be invested in investments denominated in various currencies and in other financial instruments the prices of which are determined with reference to such currencies. A Private Fund will, however, value its investments and other assets in U.S. Dollars. Accordingly, the value of such investments and assets may be affected favorably or unfavorably by fluctuations in exchange rates. A Private Fund may seek to hedge its foreign currency exposure but will necessarily be subject to foreign exchange risks. To the extent unhedged, the value of a Private Fund’s net asset value will fluctuate with the U.S. Dollar exchange rate as well as with price changes of a Private Fund’s investments in the various local markets and currencies. Forward foreign exchange contracts and options may be utilized to hedge against currency fluctuations. There can be no guarantee that instruments suitable for hedging currency or market shifts will be available at the time when a Private Fund wishes to use them or will be able to be liquidated when a Private Fund wishes to do so. Moreover, in most emerging market countries the markets for certain of these hedging instruments are not highly developed and in many emerging market countries no such markets currently exist. In addition, a Private Fund may choose not to enter into hedging transactions with respect to some or all of its positions. Currency exchange costs will be incurred when a Private Fund changes investments from one country to another. The DoddFrank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (the “Reform Act”) regulates forward foreign exchange contracts and therefore contemplates that certain of these contracts may be exchange-traded, cleared by a clearinghouse and regulated by the United States Commodity Futures Trading Commission (“CFTC”) as further discussed below. A limited category of forward foreign exchange contracts, however, were excluded from certain regulations under the Reform Act, as permitted thereunder, by the U.S. Secretary of the Treasury and therefore that class of forward foreign exchange contracts will not be subject to full regulation by the CFTC. Thus, the Private Funds may not receive any benefit of CFTC regulation for certain of its trading activities in forward foreign exchange contracts. See “Government Regulation Relating to Swaps and Other OTC Derivatives” below for more information. Clients that employ the International Long/Short Strategy, International Long-Only Strategy, Concentrated Opportunistic Long-Only Strategy, Global Long-Only Large Cap Strategy, the Global Long/Short Large Cap Strategy, International Long-Only Large Cap Strategy, the Concentrated Long/Short Strategy or the Equity Market Neutral Strategy should give particular consideration to this risk. Emerging Technologies Investment Risk. A Private Fund may invest in companies that the Firm expects will be directly or indirectly affected by the research, development and application of next generation wireless and other technologies as they emerge (such affected companies, “Emerging Investments”) to gain exposure to emerging technologies. All of the risks associated with such technologies may not fully emerge until the technologies are more widely used. The regulatory environment surrounding new technologies is often unclear. There is often uncertainty regarding the application of existing regulation (which may lead to increased compliance costs and/or reputational or economic costs related to regulatory violations) and there can be no guarantee that new regulations or legal developments will not be enacted that inhibit a technology’s widespread adoption or prevent a company from realizing all of its potential benefits. Further, the extent of such technologies’ versatility has not yet been fully explored. Technologies perceived to displace older technologies or create new markets may not in fact do so. Companies that initially develop or adopt a novel technology may not be able to capitalize on it and there is no assurance that a company will derive any significant revenue from it in the future. Companies that develop emerging technologies may face political or legal attacks from competitors, industry groups or local and national governments. The value assigned by or to any one particular company developing an emerging technology may be overstated. Currently, there are few public companies for which these emerging technologies represent an attributable and significant revenue or profit stream. An emerging technology may constitute a small portion of a company’s overall business and the success of a technology may not significantly affect the value of the equity securities issued by the company. Finally, rare earths, the majority of which are currently mined outside of the U.S., are needed to develop various parts of 5G technologies and applications. Trade tensions between the U.S. and other countries who produce rare earths, such as China, may impact the success and/or scalability of certain Emerging Investments. Clients that employ the Concentrated Long/Short Strategy should give particular consideration to this risk. Information Technology Companies Risk. A Private Fund may invest in companies in the information technology sector, including those in the semiconductor industry, and therefore the performance of the Private Fund could be negatively impacted by events affecting these companies. Market or economic factors impacting information technology companies and companies that rely heavily on technological advances could have a significant effect on the value of the Private Fund’s investments. The value of stocks of information technology companies and companies that rely heavily on technology is particularly vulnerable to rapid changes in

- 20 -

technologies, short product life cycles, rapid product obsolescence, frequent new product introductions, government regulation (including, but not limited to, additional regulatory requirements and oversight related to privacy concerns and cybersecurity risks), the loss of patent, copyright and trademark protections, evolving industry standards, cyclical market patterns, aggressive pricing and reduced profit margins, and competition, both domestically and internationally, including competition from foreign competitors with lower production costs. Stocks of information technology companies and companies that rely heavily on technology, especially those of smaller, less-seasoned companies, tend to be more volatile than the overall market. Information technology companies are heavily dependent on patent and intellectual property rights, the loss or impairment of which may adversely affect profitability. Information technology companies and companies that rely heavily on technology may also be prone to operational and information security risks resulting from cyber-attacks and/or technological malfunctions. Clients that employ the Concentrated Long/Short Strategy should give particular consideration to this risk. Communications Services Companies Risk. A Private Fund may invest in companies in the communications services sector. Communications services companies are subject to extensive government regulation. The costs of complying with governmental regulations, delays or failure to receive required regulatory approvals, or the enactment of new adverse regulatory requirements may adversely affect the business of such companies. Companies in the communications services sector can also be significantly affected by subsequent legislative or regulatory changes (including, but not limited to, additional regulatory requirements and oversight related to privacy concerns and cybersecurity risks), rapid advancements in technology, intense competition domestically and international (including competition with alternative technologies such as wireless communications, 5G and other technologies), product compatibility, consumer preferences, rapid product obsolescence, intellectual property use and research and development of new products. Technological innovations may make the products and services of such companies obsolete. Fluctuating domestic and international demand, shifting demographics and often unpredictable changes in consumer tastes can drastically affect a communication services company’s profitability. While all companies may be susceptible to network security breaches, certain communication services companies may be particular targets of hacking and potential theft of proprietary or consumer information or disruptions in service, which could have a material adverse effect on their businesses. Clients that employ the Concentrated Long/Short Strategy should give particular consideration to this risk. Derivatives. A Private Fund may purchase derivatives or enter into derivative transactions (“Derivatives”). Derivatives are financial instruments which derive their performance, at least in part, from the performance of an underlying asset, index or interest rate. Derivatives can be volatile and involve various types and degrees of risk, depending upon the characteristics of the particular Derivative and the portfolio as a whole. Derivatives permit a Private Fund to increase or decrease the level of risk, or change the character of the risk, to which its portfolio is exposed in much the same way as a Private Fund can increase or decrease the level of risk, or change the character of the risk, of its portfolio by making investments in specific securities Derivatives may entail investment exposures that are greater than their cost would suggest, meaning that a small investment in Derivatives could have a large potential impact on a Private Fund’s performance. If a Private Fund invests in Derivatives at inopportune times or the Firm judges market conditions incorrectly, such investments may lower a Private Fund’s return or result in a loss. A Private Fund also could experience losses if its Derivatives were poorly correlated with its other investments, or if a Private Fund were unable to liquidate its position because of an illiquid secondary market. The market for many Derivatives is, or suddenly can become, illiquid. Changes in liquidity may result in significant, rapid and unpredictable changes in the prices for Derivatives. The Reform Act regulates forward foreign exchange contracts and therefore contemplates that certain of these contracts may be exchange-traded, cleared by a clearinghouse and regulated by the CFTC as further discussed below. A limited category of forward foreign exchange contracts, however, were excluded from certain regulations under the Reform Act, as permitted thereunder, by the U.S. Secretary of the Treasury and therefore that class of forward foreign exchange contracts will not be subject to full regulation by the CFTC. Thus, the Private Funds may not receive any benefit of CFTC regulation for certain of their trading activities in forward foreign exchange contracts. See “Government Regulation Relating to Swaps and Other OTC Derivatives” below for more information.

- 21 -

Swaps. Certain of the Private Funds reserve the right to utilize swaps. A swap is a contract under which two parties agree to make periodic payments to each other on the basis of the value of a security, specified interest rates, an index or the value of some other instrument, applied to a stated or “notional” amount. Engaging in swaps entails certain risks. A Private Fund will be subject to the risk of counterparty default on its swaps. Since swaps do not generally involve the delivery of underlying assets or principal, any loss would likely be limited to the net amount of payments required by the contract. However, in some swap transactions, the counterparty may require a Private Fund to deposit collateral to support its obligation under the swap agreement. If the counterparty to the swap defaults, a Private Fund would lose the net amount of payments that it is contractually entitled to receive, as well as any collateral deposits made with the counterparty. Swaps expose a Private Fund to the credit risk of the counterparties with which it deals, which exposure and risk at times may be substantial. Nonperformance by counterparties of the obligations or contracts underlying the swaps could expose a Private Fund to losses, whether or not the transaction itself was profitable. Such “counterparty risk” is present in all swaps and is accentuated for contracts with longer maturities where events may intervene to prevent settlement, or where a Private Fund has concentrated its transactions with a single or small group of counterparties. Swaps may expose a Private Fund to additional liquidity risks as there may not be a liquid market within which to close or dispose of outstanding obligations or contracts. Under the Reform Act, certain swaps and other over-the-counter (“OTC”) derivatives, as discussed further below, that were previously executed on a bilateral basis are now required to be traded on a regulated swap exchange or execution facility. It is expected that the CFTC and the SEC will require the execution on a regulated market of additional OTC derivatives transactions in the future. Such requirements may make it more difficult and costly for a Private Fund to enter into highly tailored or customized transactions. They may also render certain strategies in which a Private Fund might otherwise engage impossible or so costly that they will no longer be economical to implement. Swaps and other transactions in OTC derivatives that are not required to be executed on a regulated market may involve other risks as well, as there is no exchange market on which to close out an open position. It may be impossible to liquidate an existing position, to assess the value of a position or to assess the exposure to risk. See also “Government Regulation Relating to Swaps and Other OTC Derivatives” below. CFDs. A Private Fund may enter into contracts for differences (previously defined as “CFDs”). In CFD transactions, each party assumes price positions in reference to an underlying security or other financial instrument. The “difference” is determined by comparing each party’s original position with the market price of such securities or financial instruments at a pre-determined closing date. Each party will then either receive or pay the difference, depending on the success of its investment. CFDs are subject to certain risks. Financial markets for the securities or instruments which form the subject of a CFD can fluctuate significantly. Parties to a CFD assume the risk that the markets for the underlying securities will move in a direction unfavorable to their original positions. Parties to a CFD may require a deposit of 10% to 20% of the contract value as security. CFDs often involve considerable economic leverage due to the modest upfront investment relative to the overall contract value. As a result, such contracts can lead to disproportionately large losses as well as gains and relatively small market movements can have large impacts on the value of the investment. In addition, because CFDs involve contracting with a counterparty, a Private Fund will be subject to the risk that the counterparty will be unable to, or will refuse to, perform with respect to the underlying contract. See also “Government Regulation Relating to Swaps and Other OTC Derivatives” herein. Options; Hedging A Private Fund may employ techniques whereby investments will be made in an effort to offset exposure to a particular source of risk (hedging) or to enhance returns. The various techniques may include, but are not limited to, the purchase and sale of stock options and options on stock market indices or market segments and writing stock options against existing holdings. To the extent that a Private Fund invests in foreign securities, it may elect to hedge fluctuations in currency exchange rates. Hedging is a means of offsetting, or neutralizing, the price movement of an investment by making another investment, the price of which should tend to move in the opposite direction from the original investment. While hedging may reduce or eliminate losses, it can also reduce or eliminate gains. The imperfect correlation in price movement between a security and an investment purchased as a hedge for that security may limit the effectiveness of the hedging strategy. If an option purchased by a Private Fund were permitted to expire without being sold or exercised, its premium would be lost by a Private Fund. The risk involved in writing a put option is that there could be a decrease in the market value of the underlying security. If this occurred, the option could be exercised and the underlying security would then

- 22 -

be sold to a Private Fund at a higher price than its current market value. The risk involved in writing a call option is that there could be an increase in the market value of the underlying security. If this occurred, the option could be exercised and the underlying security would then be sold by a Private Fund at a lower price than its current market value. Purchasing and writing put and call options and, in particular, writing “uncovered” options are highly specialized activities and entail greater than ordinary investment risks. Securities Lending. Consistent with its investment objective and policies, a Private Fund may lend its portfolio securities in order to realize additional income. It is anticipated that any such loan will be continuously secured by collateral at least equal in value to the value of the securities loaned. The risk of loss on such transactions is mitigated because, if a borrower were to default, the collateral should satisfy the obligation. However, as with other extensions of secured credit, loans of portfolio securities involve some risk of loss of rights in the collateral should the borrower fail financially. There is also a risk of loss of value if the collateral is invested. Trading Limitations. For all exchange-traded securities, including options, the exchange generally has the right to suspend or limit trading under certain circumstances. Such suspensions or limits could render certain strategies difficult to complete or continue and subject a Private Fund to loss. Turnover. A Private Fund’s investment approach will emphasize active management of the Private Fund’s portfolio and the Private Fund’s capital may be invested on the basis of short term market considerations. The portfolio turnover rate of those investments may be significant, potentially involving substantial brokerage commissions and fees. These commissions and fees will, of course, reduce a Private Fund’s net profits or increase a Private Fund’s net loss. High portfolio turnover may result in more frequent realization events for the Private Fund and higher capital gains or losses attributable to its investors. Risk Relating to Prime Brokers, Brokers, Custodians and Counterparty Insolvencies. A Private Fund is subject to a number of risks relating to the insolvency, administration, liquidation or other formal protection from creditors of a prime broker, broker and custodian providing prime brokerage, brokerage or custodian services to a Private Fund and other counterparties that may have possession of assets of a Private Fund. These risks will vary based on the relevant jurisdiction and legal regime governing the prime broker, broker, custodian or relevant counterparty (each, a “custodian entity”) and the specific contractual terms negotiated with each such custodian entity and may include, without limitation: the loss of all cash held with the relevant custodian entity which is not being treated as client money subject to the applicable customer protection laws or otherwise segregated or protected by the rules of the applicable jurisdiction; the loss of all cash which the relevant custodian entity has failed to treat as client money in accordance with applicable procedures; the loss of all securities in respect of which the relevant custodian entity has exercised its contractual rights to borrow, lend, take legal and beneficial ownership of or otherwise use for its own purposes whether exercised in compliance with or in breach of any agreed limits on such rights of use or applicable regulatory restrictions; the loss of some or all of any securities held on trust or client money held by or with the relevant custodian entity in connection with a reduction to pay for administrative costs of the insolvency of the custodian entity and/or the process of identifying and transferring the relevant trust assets and/or client money or for other reasons according to the particular circumstances of the custodian entity’s insolvency; losses of some or all assets due to the incorrect operation of the brokerage, custody or other accounts by the relevant custodian entity; and losses caused by prolonged delays in receiving transfers of balances and regaining control over the relevant assets. In addition, where securities are held with a sub-custodian of a custodian entity or are held in the name of a sub-custodian, such securities may not be as well protected as they would be if they were held directly by the custodian entity. An insolvency of a custodian entity or sub-custodian could cause severe disruption to the trading of a Private Fund. In some circumstances, this could cause a Private Fund to declare a suspension of net asset value calculations and/or suspend or limit withdrawals. While the Firm monitors its counterparties and seeks to manage such insolvency risks, no assurance can be given that the risks and adverse events described above will not occur. Off-Balance Sheet Risk. In the normal course of business, a Private Fund may invest in financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk. These instruments include forward contracts, swaps and securities and options contracts sold short. An off-balance sheet risk is associated with a financial instrument if such instrument exposes the investor to an accounting and economic loss in excess of the investor’s recognized asset carrying value in such financial instrument, if any; or if the ultimate liability associated with the financial instrument has the

- 23 -

potential to exceed the amount that the investor recognizes as a liability in the investor’s statement of assets and liabilities. Market Risks and Lack of Liquidity. The success of a Private Fund’s investment program depends to a great extent upon our ability to assess correctly the future course of price movements of the securities and other instruments in which a Private Fund invests. There can be no assurance that we will accurately predict such movements. In addition, certain of the investments in which a portion of a Private Fund’s capital may be invested, from time to time, may have limited liquidity. This lack of liquidity, together with a failure to accurately predict market movements, may adversely affect our ability to execute trade orders at desired prices. Moreover, because illiquid investments may be difficult to value, a Private Fund’s net asset value may fluctuate widely from one period to the next, and may not correspond to the proceeds ultimately received by a Private Fund upon the disposition of such investments. Portfolio Company Leverage. The Private Funds employing the Private Equity Strategy may make investments, either through leveraged buyouts or otherwise, in portfolio companies that have a leveraged capital structure. To the extent that any investment is made in a company with a leveraged capital structure, such investment may be subject to increased exposure to adverse economic factors such as a significant rise in interest rates, a downturn in the economy or deterioration in the condition of such company or its industry. In the event that such a company is unable to generate sufficient cash flow to timely meet principal and interest payments on its indebtedness, the value of such Private Fund’s investment in such portfolio company could be significantly reduced or even eliminated. Additionally, lenders would typically have a claim that has priority over any claim by a Private Fund employing the Private Equity Strategy to such assets in an insolvency event or proceeding. Risks in Effecting Operating Improvements. In some cases, the success of the Private Equity Strategy’s will depend, in part, on the ability of the relevant Private Fund or the management of a portfolio company to restructure and implement improvements in the operations of a portfolio company. The activity of identifying and implementing restructuring programs and operating improvements at portfolio companies entails a high degree of uncertainty. There can be no assurance that the Firm will be able to successfully identify and implement such restructuring programs and improvements. Control Positions and Non-Controlling Interests. The Private Funds employing the Private Equity Strategy may assume control positions in certain of the portfolio companies. The exercise of control over a company imposes additional risks of liability for environmental damage, product defects, failure to supervise management, violation of governmental regulations and other types of liability in which the limited liability generally characteristic of business operations may be ignored. Such Private Funds may make minority or other equity investments in portfolio companies where there is the possibility that the portfolio companies may be controlled by persons who have economic or business interests or goals that are inconsistent with those of such Private Fund’s or may be in a position to take action contrary to those of the Private Fund’s business interests. Where a Private Fund Funds employing the Private Equity Strategy holds a non-controlling interest in a portfolio company, it may have a limited ability to limit or otherwise protect its position in such company. Third Party Investments. The Private Funds employing the Private Equity Strategy may co-invest with third parties through partnerships, joint ventures, or other entities. Such investments may involve risks not present in investments where a third party is not involved, including the possibility that a third party co-venturer or partner may at any time have economic or business interests or goals that are inconsistent with those of the Private Fund, or may be in a position to take action contrary to the Private Fund’s business interests. Insufficient Capital for Follow-On Investments. Following its initial investment in a portfolio company, a Private Fund employing the Private Equity Strategy may have the opportunity to increase its investment in successful operations or may be asked to provide additional funds to such portfolio company. There is no assurance that the Private Fund will make follow-on investments or that it will have sufficient resources to, or be permitted to, make such investments. Any decision not to make follow-on investments, or a Private Fund’s inability to make them, may have a substantial negative impact on a portfolio company in need of such an investment, may result in missed opportunities for the Private Fund, or may result in dilution of the Private Fund’s investment.

Government Regulation Relating to Swaps and Other OTC Derivatives. The Reform Act was enacted in July 2010. The Reform Act requires extensive rulemaking and regulatory changes that will affect private fund managers, the funds that they manage and the financial industry as a whole. Additionally, under the Reform Act, the SEC has mandated (and will mandate) new recordkeeping and reporting requirements for investment advisers, which add costs to the legal, operational and compliance obligations of the Firm and possibly the Private Funds and Registered Advisory Clients. The Reform Act affects a broad range of market participants with whom Private Funds interact or may interact, including banks, non-bank financial institutions, rating agencies, mortgage brokers, credit unions, insurance companies, payday lenders and broker dealers, and affects the way in which the Firm conducts business with its counterparties. In an attempt to reduce systemic and counterparty risks associated with OTC derivatives transactions, the Reform Act requires that a substantial portion of OTC derivatives (such as the derivatives, swaps, CFDs and currency hedges described above) must be executed in regulated markets and submitted for clearing to regulated clearinghouses. The CFTC has mandated that certain OTC derivatives must be cleared and will impose that mandate on additional OTC derivatives in the future. The SEC has not yet imposed a clearing mandate on any OTC derivatives that it regulates. OTC trades submitted for clearing will be subject to minimum initial and variation margin requirements set by the relevant clearinghouse, as well as margin requirements set by the prudential regulators, the CFTC and/or the SEC. The regulators also have broad discretion to impose margin requirements on non-cleared OTC derivatives. Although the Reform Act includes limited exemptions from the clearing and margin requirements for so-called “end-users”, the Private Funds do not expect to be able to rely on such exemptions. In addition, the OTC derivative dealers with which the Private Funds execute the majority of their OTC derivatives will not be able to rely on the end-user exemptions under the Reform Act and therefore such dealers will be subject to clearing and margin requirements notwithstanding whether the Private Funds are subject to such requirements. OTC derivative dealers are also required to post margin to the clearinghouses through which they clear their customers’ trades instead of using such margin in their operations. This further increases the dealers’ costs, which costs are expected to be passed through to other market participants in the form of higher fees and less favorable dealer marks. In addition, a Private Fund may also be required to post higher margin amounts to certain of the dealers with which it trades and that will increase the costs of the Private Fund and reduce the amount of available capital with which to implement its investment strategy. With respect to cleared OTC derivatives, the Private Funds will not face a clearinghouse directly but rather through an OTC derivatives dealer that is registered with the CFTC or SEC to act as a clearing member. The Private Funds may face the indirect risk of the failure of another clearing member customer to meet its obligations to its clearing member. Such scenario could arise due to a default by the clearing member on its obligations to the clearinghouse, triggered by a customer’s failure to meet its obligations to the clearing member. The SEC and the CFTC may also require a substantial portion of derivative transactions that are currently executed on a bi-lateral basis in the OTC markets to be executed through a regulated securities, futures, or swap exchange or execution facility. Certain CFTC-regulated OTC derivatives are already subject to these rules and the CFTC expects to subject additional OTC derivatives to such trade execution rules in the future. The SEC has not indicated when they will impose clearing or trade execution requirements on the OTC derivatives that they regulate. Such requirements may make it more difficult and costly for investment funds, including the Private Funds, to enter into highly tailored or customized transactions. They may also render certain strategies in which the Private Funds might otherwise engage impossible or so costly that they will no longer be economical to implement. OTC derivative dealers and major OTC derivatives market participants are required to register with the SEC and/or the CFTC and maintain adequate capital reserves. Based on the current levels of uncollateralized exposure to their swap dealers, it is not anticipated that the Private Funds and/or the Firm will be required to register as major participants in the OTC derivatives markets. Dealers and major participants will be subject to minimum capital and margin requirements. These requirements may apply irrespective of whether the OTC derivatives in question are exchange-traded or cleared. OTC derivatives dealers will also be subject to new business conduct standards, disclosure requirements, reporting and recordkeeping requirements, transparency requirements, position limits, limitations on conflicts of interest, and other regulatory burdens (some of which are already in effect). These requirements may increase the overall costs for OTC derivative dealers, which are likely to be passed along, at least partially, to market participants in the form of higher fees or less advantageous dealer

- 25 -

marks. The overall impact of the Reform Act on the Private Funds is highly uncertain and it is unclear how the OTC derivatives markets will adapt to this new regulatory regime. The Private Funds may trade in forward contracts on foreign currencies. In this connection, the Private Funds contract with or through their banks or brokers to make or take future delivery of a particular foreign currency. Although the foreign currency market is not believed to be necessarily more volatile than the market in other commodities, there is less protection against defaults in the forward trading of currencies since such forward contracts are currently not guaranteed by an exchange or clearing house. The Reform Act includes in the definition of “swap” foreign exchange forwards and therefore contemplates that certain of these contracts may be exchangetraded, cleared by a clearinghouse and otherwise regulated by the CFTC. The CFTC has been granted authority to regulate forward foreign currencies and many of the final regulations already adopted by the CFTC will apply to such contracts. A limited category of forward foreign currency contracts, however, were excluded from certain of the Reform Act regulations by the U.S. Secretary of the Treasury. Therefore, with respect to trading in forward foreign currency contracts excluded by the U.S. Secretary of the Treasury, the Private Funds are not afforded the protections provided by CFTC regulation, including segregation of funds. Similarly, if the Private Funds trade in metals, they may contract as principal to make or take delivery of the metals. Such transactions are not currently regulated by the CFTC, and any protections provided under CFTC regulations do not apply to them. In any principal contract the Private Funds must rely on the creditworthiness of its counterparties. In addition, securities and futures markets are subject to comprehensive statutes, regulations and margin requirements. Regulators and self-regulatory organizations and exchanges are authorized to take extraordinary actions in the event of market emergencies. The regulation of derivative transactions and funds that engage in such transactions is an evolving area of law and is subject to modification by government and judicial actions. The effect of any future regulatory change on the Private Funds could be substantial and adverse including, for example, increased compliance costs, the prohibition of certain types of trading and/or the inhibition of a Private Fund’s ability to pursue its investment approach. Changes in U.S. federal, state or foreign tax, securities or bankruptcy laws, or in accounting standards may make corporate restructurings or other transactions less desirable or make risk arbitrage less profitable. Amendments to the U.S. bankruptcy code, non-U.S. bankruptcy laws or other relevant laws could also alter an expected outcome or introduce greater uncertainty regarding the likely outcome of an investment situation. Limitations Due to Regulatory Restrictions. A Private Fund may seek to acquire a significant stake in certain securities. In the event such stake exceeds certain percentage or value limits, a Private Fund may be required to file a notification with a governmental agency or comply with other regulatory requirements. Certain notice filings are subject to review that requires a delay in the acquisition of the security. Compliance with such filing and other requirements may result in additional costs to a Private Fund, and may delay a Private Fund’s ability to respond in a timely manner to changes in the markets with respect to such securities. Digital Asset Derivatives. The U.S. Long/Short Strategy may seek short exposure to virtual commodities, including digital asset futures or swaps. Digital assets (also known as “virtual currencies,” “cryptocurrencies,” “coins” or “tokens” or similar terms) are assets that are issued and/or transferred using technological innovations such as distributed ledger or blockchain technology and include, but are not limited to, Bitcoin. Digital assets have no intrinsic value other than as a method of exchange and are not based on a tangible commodity, security, contractual right or legal obligation. Digital assets have limited history and typically are not issued or backed by any government, bank or central organization.

Model and Data Risk. The Firm relies extensively on quantitative and data-driven models to identify investment opportunities, weight positions, and manage risk for the Equity Market Neutral Strategy. These models are inherently uncertain and may produce inaccurate or incomplete outputs, particularly where relationships observed in historical data fail to persist or where input data is stale, missing, unreliable, or otherwise flawed. Many of the Firm’s models are predictive in nature and are designed to forecast security returns and risk. Such forecasts

- 26 -

may prove incorrect, potentially resulting in losses or missed opportunities. Risk management informed by these models may also be ineffective or perform differently than expected. The Firm also employs advanced statistical and machine-learning techniques for the Equity Market Neutral Strategy, which may be less transparent, less interpretable, and supported by more limited out-ofsample evidence than traditional approaches. Model outputs may differ materially from observed market prices as relationships observed in historical data may not persist into the future. To accommodate this, the Firm seeks to monitor, validate, and refine model outputs over time. Trading Decisions Based on Quantitative and Other Analysis. The Investment Adviser’s portfolio management and trading decisions for the Equity Market Neutral Strategy are based on quantitative models, signals, and other analyses. Any factor that would lessen the prospect of major trends occurring in the future (such as increased governmental control of, or participation in, the financial markets) may reduce the prospect that a particular trading method or strategy will be profitable in the future. In the past, there have been periods without discernible trends and, presumably, such periods will continue to occur in the future. Moreover, any factor that would make it more difficult to execute trades at desired prices in accordance with the signals of the trading method or strategy (such as a significant lessening of liquidity in a particular market) would also be detrimental to profitability. Further, many managers’ investment models and trading methods utilize similar analyses in making trading decisions. Therefore, bunching of buy and sell orders can occur, which makes it more difficult for a position to be taken or liquidated. No assurance can be given that the Equity Market Neutral Strategy’s investment approach will be successful under all or any market conditions. Risk of Programming and Modeling Errors. The research and modeling process undertaken by the Firm for the Equity Market Neutral Strategy is complex. Errors have occurred and are expected to continue to occur in conceiving of, designing, programming, testing, maintaining, monitoring, and/or using quantitative tools and/or models. Although the Firm seeks to hire individuals skilled in these functions and to provide appropriate levels of oversight, the complexity of the tasks and the limited ability to perform “real world” testing of the end product raises the chances that the finished model may contain an error. Programming and modeling errors are often difficult to detect and could go undetected for long periods of time, or never be detected, compounding over time. If the Firm determines to fix a model error, it may also result in unintended consequences, including creating other errors. In addition, third party programming, model or coding errors are outside the control of the Firm. One or more of such errors could adversely affect the Equity Market Neutral Strategy and would generally not constitute a trade error subject to reimbursement under the Firm’s trade error policies. The Firm may also use other numerical estimation methods that can give sub-optimal or incorrect outputs even when coded properly. Generally, the Firm will not notify investors in the Equity Market Neutral Strategy of non-compensable errors or incidents, including coding or data issues. The Firm’s testing of its models is directed in part at identifying these risks, but there is no guarantee that these risks will be effectively managed. Computer System Risks. The Firm relies on a variety of computer hardware and software systems and platforms to assist in their advisory activities for the Equity Market Neutral Strategy, some of which may be proprietary while others may be licensed from third parties. Incorrect data, including stale or missing data, hardware or software malfunctions, programming inaccuracies, and similar errors may impair the performance of such systems or platforms, which may negatively affect investment performance. Obsolescence Risk. The Firm’s investment process for the Equity Market Neutral Strategy is unlikely to be successful unless the assumptions underlying the models it uses to implement such strategy are realistic and either remain realistic and relevant in the future or are adjusted to account for changes in the overall market environment. If such assumptions are inaccurate or become inaccurate and are not promptly adjusted, it is likely that profitable trading signals will not be generated. The Firm’s testing of its models and data are directed in part at identifying these risks, but there is no guarantee that these risks will be effectively managed. If and to the extent that the models do not reflect certain factors, and the Firm does not successfully address such omission through its testing and evaluation and modify the models accordingly, major losses may result. The Firm will continue to test and evaluate its models, and may add new models, as a result of which the existing models may be modified from time to time. Any modification of the models will not be subject to any requirement that investors in the Equity Market Neutral Strategy receive notice of the change or that they consent to it. There can be no

- 27 -

assurance as to the effects (positive or negative) of any modification of the models or strategies on the Equity Market Neutral Strategy. Crowding/Convergence. There is significant competition among funds leveraging quantitative models as part of their strategy. To the extent that the Firm’s models used while managing the Equity Market Neutral Strategy come to resemble those employed by other managers, the risk that a market disruption that broadly affects the models of comparable managers (including competitors of the Firm) may adversely affect the Equity Market Neutral Strategy is increased, as such a disruption could accelerate reductions in liquidity or rapid repricing due to simultaneous trading across a number of funds in the marketplace. Involuntary Disclosure. As described above, the Firm’s ability to achieve the Equity Market Neutral Strategy’s investment objective is dependent in large part on its ability to develop and protect its models and proprietary research. The proprietary research are largely protected by the Firm through the use of policies, procedures, agreements, and similar measures designed to create and enforce robust confidentiality, non-disclosure, and similar safeguards. However, extensive position-level public disclosure obligations (or disclosure obligations to prospective or current investors, exchanges, or regulators with insufficient privacy safeguards) and theft of research, technical specifications, and other data could lead to opportunities for competitors to reverse-engineer strategies, and thereby impair the relative or absolute performance of the Equity Market Neutral Strategy’s portfolio. Proprietary Trading Methods. Because the Firm’s trading methods for the Equity Market Neutral Strategy are proprietary, investors will generally not be able to determine details of such methods or whether they are being followed. Trading Judgment. The success of the proprietary valuation techniques and investment and trading strategies employed by the Firm on behalf of the Equity Market Neutral Strategy is subject to the judgment and skills of the portfolio managers, research teams and trading teams. There can be no assurance that the investment decisions or actions of the portfolio managers, researchers or trading personnel will be correct. Incorrect decisions or poor judgment may result in substantial losses to the Equity Market Neutral Strategy.

The Firm or its affiliate will provide the client with a copy of the Offering Memorandum of the Private Fund(s) or the prospectus of the Sponsored Registered Fund(s) in which the client is considering an investment. Each such Offering Memorandum or prospectus discloses the respective fees and Performance Compensation (if any) to which an investor in the Private Funds or Sponsored Registered Funds is subject, and describes such Private Fund’s or Sponsored Registered Fund’s investment methodology and risks, certain conflicts of interest that may arise out of the relationship between the Private Fund or Sponsored Registered Fund, the Firm and/or the Firm’s affiliates, as well as other pertinent information. We will not cause a client’s assets to be used to purchase Private Fund or Sponsored Registered Fund interests unless we have received explicit written instructions signed by the client authorizing and directing the Firm to do so. The Firm and its related persons attempt to resolve any conflicts of interest in a manner that we believe is fair to each party involved. Certain supervised persons of the Firm are registered representatives of a broker-dealer engaged by the Firm in relation to marketing and distribution activities for the Sponsored RIC. The broker-dealer is not affiliated with the Firm. As mentioned in Item 4, we also serve as the sub-adviser to certain Registered Advisory Clients sponsored by other investment advisers, investment banks or private wealth platforms. You should also note that we manage or own (through our employees) certain proprietary accounts, as well as a private foundation for donations to qualified charitable institutions. The Firm, its principals, affiliates or employees have ownership interests in one or more of the Private Funds and we could have positions or interests in securities which are purchased or sold for, or recommended to, clients. In some cases, we give advice and take action with respect to any of our other clients, or for the Firm’s or our principals’, affiliates’ or employees’ own accounts, which differs from advice given or the timing or nature of action taken with respect to a client’s account. It is our policy, to the extent practicable, to allocate investment opportunities among clients and investors, over a period of time, on a fair and equitable basis. We have adopted a Trade Allocation Policy that we believe will realize that objective and mitigate the conflicts discussed above. We do not have any obligation to purchase or sell or to recommend for purchase or sale for a client’s account any security which the Firm, its principals, affiliates or employees may purchase or sell for its or their own accounts or for the account of any other client, if in our opinion such transaction or investment appears unsuitable, impractical or undesirable for a client’s account. Additionally, the Firm, our employees and a private charitable foundation operated by us make donations to charitable organizations. Some of these donations have been given and could be given in the future to organizations that are also clients of ours or investors in the Private Funds or Sponsored Registered Funds we manage. However, please note that the Firm has policies and procedures in place which are reasonably designed to prevent self-dealing behavior. The Firm has (and intends to continue to provide) advisory services to clients, and has accepted (and intends to continue to accept) subscriptions to the Private Funds, Sponsored Registered Funds or Affiliated Group Accounts (as defined below) from clients or investors who also provide services to the Private Funds, Sponsored Registered Funds or the Firm or who are affiliated with service providers to the Private Funds, Sponsored Registered Funds or the Firm. Certain of such clients or investors also may have other business, personal, political, financial or other relationships with the Firm, our affiliates, Affiliated Group Accounts and/or organizations with which our senior investment professionals have been affiliated. Such service providers additionally may be investors in a Private Fund, Sponsored Registered Fund or an Affiliated Group Account (and/or their respective portfolio companies), our affiliates, sources of investment opportunities or co-investors or counterparties therewith. Relationships such as these could be viewed as creating a conflict of interest. In certain circumstances, service providers or their

- 30 -

affiliates, charge different rates or have different arrangements for services provided to the Firm, our affiliates, or Affiliated Group Accounts, Private Funds and/or their portfolio companies. There can be no guarantee that any Private Fund, any Affiliated Group Account or any of their portfolio companies will receive the most beneficial terms offered by any particular service provider. Investments by advisors or service providers, service providers’ existing relationships, and favorable terms offered by service providers all may influence the Firm in deciding whether to select or recommend such a provider to perform services for the Private Funds, Sponsored Registered Funds, any Affiliated Group Account or any portfolio company of any Private Fund, Sponsored Registered Fund or Affiliated Group Account. The Firm requires its employees to act in the best interests of the Private Funds, Sponsored Registered Funds and Affiliated Group Accounts when engaging service providers on their behalf. The Firm provides investment advisory services from time to time to clients whose ownership structure is comprised of publicly traded securities, or to clients who hold senior positions at companies with publicly traded securities. Clients should be aware that the Firm may recommend (and has recommended) the purchase or sale of securities that are issued by another one of its advisory clients, by companies with which another advisory client is affiliated, or by companies for which one or more of the Firm’s advisory clients serve as senior personnel. We recognize our fiduciary duty to act in the best interests of all clients and will take steps necessary to ensure that any investment recommendation does not inappropriately favor one client over another. The Firm, its principals, and any of its employees or affiliates (collectively, the “Affiliated Group”) are not prohibited from engaging in, acquiring or possessing an interest in, directly or indirectly, any other present or future business ventures or investments, of any nature whatsoever for its or his own account or for the account of others (each, an “Affiliated Group Account”). For example, the members of the Affiliated Group are not precluded from acquiring or possessing an interest or engaging, directly or indirectly, in any other present or future business ventures or investments which would be permissible or desirable business ventures or investments for a Private Fund, Sponsored Registered Fund and/or separately managed account or are currently held or owned by a Private Fund, Sponsored Registered Fund and/or separately managed account, acting as investment adviser to other clients, acting as a broker, finder or director, officer or employee of, or consultant to any corporation, a trustee to any trust, a limited partner or general partner in any partnership, an administrative official of any business entity, or from receiving compensation for services as an adviser with respect to, or participating in, profits derived from the investments of any such corporation, trust, partnership or other business entity. No client will have any right to participate, in any manner whatsoever, in, or to require an accounting for, any profits or income earned or derived by the Affiliated Group members in their conduct of any business. Subject to applicable law, the Affiliated Group may also enter into transactions with one or more portfolio companies held by a Private Fund, Sponsored Registered Fund and/or separately managed account for clients in an Affiliated Group Account, which transactions may present additional conflicts of interest. Because the Firm manages multiple clients, conflicts of interest arise in allocating management time, services or functions of the Firm. In addition, the Firm, its portfolio manager(s) or its affiliates have and expect to continue to form and/or advise additional registered or private investment funds and/or accounts (whether with similar or different investment mandates, return objectives, redemption/withdrawal, notice and/or other terms, risk profiles, fee structures and characteristics), enter into other investment advisory relationships and engage in other business activities, even though such activities could be in competition with an existing Private Fund, Registered Advisory Client and/or separately managed account and/or involve substantial time and resources of the Firm, its portfolio manager(s) or its affiliates. The Affiliated Group owes a fiduciary duty to each Private Fund, Registered Advisory Client, separately managed account or other Affiliated Group Account for which it serves as investment adviser. Affiliated Group Accounts will not be required to take any action or withhold from taking any action to mitigate losses by any other Affiliated Group Account. It may be the case where such actual or potential conflicts of interest arise that the Affiliated Group’s financial incentives (including because of potentially disparate financial interests in each of the funds or accounts) will be in favor of only certain Affiliated Group Accounts. Furthermore, the Firm employs professionals who research and trade securities of companies for other Affiliated Group Accounts and/or who provide middle- and back-office services for other such Affiliated Group Accounts. Such professionals will from time to time receive information related to certain issuers in which the Firm has invested or is considering making an investment on behalf of an Affiliated Group Account. In cases where this information is material and non-public, the Firm will be restricted from making any new investments, or liquidating current investments, in the relevant securities on behalf of the Affiliated Group Accounts. The Firm’s Code of Conduct sets forth a standard

- 31 -

of business conduct expected of all of the Firm’s employees (including compliance with federal securities laws) and is predicated on the principle that the Firm owes a fiduciary duty to its clients. In addition, the Firm has, in certain circumstances, and may in the future, agreed to restrict its ability to vote as a shareholder with respect to certain portfolio companies in which one or more of its clients holds an interest. Such contractual restrictions on proxy voting for certain investments may present the opportunity for potential conflicts of interests to arise and certain clients may be disadvantaged by the Firm’s inability to vote shares (and such clients may also not receive benefits that other clients received in connection with the Firm’s decision to accept a restriction on voting). In addition, a subsidiary of the Firm currently owns Venrex Investment Management LLP (“Venrex”), a venture capital investment management firm based in the United Kingdom, which is also a registered U.S. investment adviser. The Firm’s relationship with Venrex implicates certain conflicts of interest. See Item 14 – “Client Referrals and Other Compensation” for additional information. Other present and future activities of the Firm and its affiliates could give rise to additional conflicts of interest. For example, the Firm and its affiliates expect that they will expand the range of services that they provide and/or enter into a new line of business over time. The Firm and its affiliates will not be restricted in the scope of their business or in the performance of any such services (whether now offered or undertaken in the future) even if such activities could give rise to conflicts of interest, and whether or not such conflicts are described herein. While none of the Firm, or its partners, officers, employees or affiliates is obligated to resolve any conflicts in favor of any one Private Fund, Registered Advisory Client or separately managed account, the Firm will endeavor to ensure that any conflict of interest is resolved fairly. However, prospective clients should be aware that conflicts will not necessarily be resolved in favor of any one Private Fund’s, Registered Advisory Client’s or separately managed account’s interest. The Firm and certain individuals who are members of the Affiliated Group are currently the sole contributors to a private foundation known as Aventine Research Institute (“Aventine”). Aventine is devoted to publishing research on technological trends and developments affecting a wide variety of industries, cultures and regions. All of the research published by Aventine is made available to the public free of charge. Although Aventine intends to conduct its charitable activities without regard to the Firm’s investment activities, Aventine is governed by a board of directors, the majority of whom are officers or employees of the Firm. In addition, while Aventine is supported by a staff of one or more employees who are dedicated exclusively to Aventine’s charitable activities (the “Aventine Employees”), the Aventine Employees utilize offices provided by the Firm, and the Aventine Employees and the Firm’s employees are permitted to engage in discussions with one another from time to time in connection with their respective activities. The Aventine Employees also have access to research that the Firm prepares for the benefit of the Firm’s clients, and the Firm provides certain administrative services to Aventine, including accounting services. The relationships between Aventine and the Firm present the opportunity for certain potential conflicts of interests to arise. For example, in the course of conducting its charitable activities, Aventine will from time to time receive information related to certain issuers in which the Firm has invested or is considering making an investment on behalf of clients. To the extent that any such information is material and non-public, the Firm will be restricted from making any new investments, or liquidating current investments, in the relevant securities. In addition, because Aventine intends to conduct its charitable activities without regard to the Firm’s investment activities, research published by Aventine could potentially affect (negatively or positively) the price of certain securities in which one or more of the Firm’s clients are invested. The Firm believes that it has taken reasonable steps to mitigate these conflicts, such as requiring the Aventine Employees to be subject to the Firm’s Code of Ethics and other relevant compliance procedures that are applicable to the Firm’s employees and communications.

(The policy does not apply to fully discretionary accounts managed by an unaffiliated investment manager that have been disclosed and exempted from coverage by the Chief Compliance Officer.) All employees, their spouses and each household member must, with certain limited exceptions, receive prior written approval before engaging in transactions in covered securities (open-end mutual funds are not covered securities) and employees are generally not permitted to trade single name securities or derivatives on single name securities. All purchases of covered securities by our employees and their household members are subject to a 30 calendar day holding period. The Code also sets forth policies and procedures to prevent the misuse of material nonpublic information by employees. The Firm or related persons of the Firm, from time to time, obtain or are deemed to have obtained, material nonpublic information about a portfolio company or other issuer that cannot be divulged or acted upon for our clients. This means that we are at times precluded from buying or selling a particular security on behalf of a client. Under the Code, our employees are generally discouraged from serving as directors, officers or trustees of publicly traded companies, unless acting on behalf of the Firm, and must receive approval from the Firm’s Chief Compliance Officer or its designee to do so. In addition, we seek to eliminate any potential conflict of interest by requesting that all employees not accept any personal gifts valued at over $100 from vendors or business associates without providing reimbursement. Where possible, employees are advised that gifts should be accepted on behalf of the Firm and shared with all employees. Clients, prospective clients, investors or prospective investors may obtain a copy of the Code by contacting us at Select Equity Group, L.P., 380 Lafayette Street, New York, NY 10003 or (212) 475-8335.

In selecting or recommending brokers or dealers, we will consider all relevant factors, including the price (including the applicable brokerage commission or dealer spread), size of the order, financing costs, nature of the market for security, timing of the transaction, the reputation, experience and financial stability of the broker-dealer, the quality of service, difficulty of execution and operational facilities of the firm involved, the ability to effect the transaction where a large block or other complicating factors are involved, and the availability of the broker to stand ready to execute possible difficult transactions in the future. We have no obligation to deal with any broker or group of brokers in the execution of portfolio transactions. We allocate brokerage to broker-dealers that provide us with research and other services, including pursuant to certain third-party soft dollar arrangements, even though such broker dealers may charge commissions which exceed those other broker-dealers may have charged for the same transactions. In general, allocations to any such broker-dealers are permitted to the extent that we view the commissions as reasonable in relation to the value of the brokerage and/or research services provided by the broker-dealer (or soft dollar credits in respect thereof), viewed in terms of either the particular transaction or our overall responsibilities with respect to the accounts as to which we exercise investment discretion, without any requirement to demonstrate that any such factor is of a direct benefit to a particular client. Brokerage and/or research products or services furnished by brokers in connection with securities transactions effected for particular client can (and are expected to) be used by us in advising other clients, including clients who did not pay commissions to the broker-dealer relating to such products or services or whose accounts are not party to any such third-party soft dollar arrangements. Accordingly, any one client will not necessarily, in any particular instance, be the direct or indirect beneficiary of the research or brokerage services or products provided. While we endeavor to use such additional benefits to service all of our clients’ accounts equitably, you should note that such arrangements provide an incentive for us to select or recommend a brokerdealer based on an interest in receiving the research or other products or services, rather than on the clients’ interest in receiving most favorable execution. For example, when the Firm uses brokerage commissions generated by certain of our trading activities to obtain research or other products or services, we receive a benefit as we do not have to pay for such products or services and can use such products or services to inform our management of other Affiliated Group Accounts. This gives rise to conflicts of interest in allocating brokerage business and benefits received from such allocation, including an incentive to cause the Affiliated Group Accounts to effect more transactions than they might otherwise do to obtain those benefits. We do not believe that we are “paying up” for such brokerage and/or research services or product currently, however such arrangements may nevertheless cause clients to pay commissions (or markups or markdowns) higher than those charged by other broker-dealers in return for such benefits in the future. In addition, we are authorized to direct commissions to certain brokers who direct or refer investment opportunities or introduce investors to the Private Funds or the Sponsored Registered Funds (although there is no obligation to do so). The Firm’s prime brokers, Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC, UBS Securities LLC and Goldman Sachs & Co., provide a variety of services to the clients of the Firm, which include clearance and settlement of securities transactions, custody of the clients’ securities and cash, extending margin credit to the client, arranging for stock loans to implement short sales, lending of the clients’ portfolio securities to third parties, and capital introduction services whereby the Firm may be afforded the opportunity to make a presentation regarding its services to certain qualified investors by the prime broker. While the prime broker generally provides capital introduction services to the Firm at no additional cost to the Firm, the Firm and not the client will be the principal or sole beneficiary of those services, thus presenting a potential conflict of interest between the client and the Firm, which is responsible for selecting the prime broker and negotiating such person’s brokerage, margin and other fees. Investment decisions are made for the Private Funds, the Registered Advisory Clients, other clients of the Firm and our affiliates, and proprietary accounts in light of relevant investment considerations. In certain instances, simultaneous transactions will occur. In the event that orders for the same security for more than one client are placed with the same broker, we often aggregate or “bunch” such orders. Purchases and sales are then allocated so that no account will be treated less favorably than another over time. Our Trade Allocation Policy provides that trade orders made prior to May 1, 2026 on behalf of accounts and Private Funds managed in the U.S. Long-Only

Strategy (including the proprietary accounts discussed in Item 10 above) will be allocated based on available cash in the accounts and Private Funds managed in this strategy. This sometimes results in certain Private Funds and accounts (including the proprietary accounts discussed in Item 4 above) receiving more advantageous pricing than other accounts or Private Funds with respect to a trade order. Trades for accounts, Private Funds and Registered Advisory Clients managed in our other strategies –and effective as of May 1, 2026, trade orders on behalf of accounts and Private Funds managed in accordance with our U.S. Long-Only Strategy—will be allocated pro rata based on the size of the order. While in some cases the aggregation of orders could have a detrimental effect upon the price or value of a security for a particular account, or upon its ability to complete an entire order, in other cases coordination and the ability to participate in volume transactions will be beneficial to the account. We will not be required or deemed to have the duty to obtain the lowest brokerage or commission rates or combine or arrange orders to obtain the lowest brokerage commission rates. As a result of changes in investment allocations due to cash flows (e.g., subscriptions, withdrawals/redemptions or contributions) in a Private Fund, Registered Advisory Clients or managed account and/or differences in investment strategies and the risk profiles associated with such strategies, we sometimes acquire or dispose of securities on behalf of certain clients at different times and at different prices and/or trading parameters than transactions in the same securities are effected on behalf of other clients. Trades placed at different times may be executed at different prices. Securities traded on an exchange or over-the-counter are traded through brokers who generally charge a stated commission for their service; however, in certain cases we effect transactions in securities for advisory clients through a broker on a principal basis, i.e. subject to an undisclosed dealer spread. Certain agency transactions are subject to both commissions and an undisclosed dealer spread. Certain orders placed for some clients that have accounts at Charles Schwab & Co., Inc. (“Schwab”) will be aggregated by Schwab through a master account in our name. We must inform Schwab of which clients are participating in each order and their respective interests in such order. Schwab will withdraw or deposit funds from or into each such client’s brokerage account at Schwab and allocate the securities purchased or sold to such accounts in accordance with instructions delivered by the Firm after the order is placed. Schwab has advised us that no client funds or securities are moved, transferred or delivered to our master account with Schwab. In addition, only advisory clients’ transactions will be aggregated through the master account; individual investment advice and treatment will be accorded to each advisory client’s account; and client funds and securities will at all times be maintained in brokerage accounts at Schwab in the name of their respective owners. We are permitted to place concurrent buy/sell orders for the same security when we have determined, in accordance with our fiduciary obligations, that it is appropriate for one or more of our clients to buy the same security that one or more other clients are selling (for example, as a part of monthly rebalancing or to effect concurrent subscriptions/withdrawals/redemptions/strategy trades). In such situations, purchase orders will generally be traded at a different broker than the sales transactions for the opposing accounts and/or funds (and vice-versa), but may in certain circumstances - subject in all cases to applicable law and regulation (including the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended), as well as our policies prohibiting cross-trades involving our principal accounts or the accounts of our registered investment company clients – be placed with the same broker.

Individually managed clients receive a statement (no less frequently than quarterly) from the custodians they elect to use showing the securities held, cash balance, total value, and a description of all transactions during the month. In certain cases (e.g., where agreed or required), we furnish clients with individual accounts a quarterly report showing opening and closing balances and performance comparisons with the relevant benchmark indices (in each case, index performance is total return with dividends included). After the end of each calendar year, investors in the Private Funds to which the Firm serves as investment adviser will be provided with financial statements audited by the Private Funds’ independent accountants via an electronic portal. Each Private Fund investor will, in addition, be furnished (either in hard copy or via an electronic portal) information necessary for the preparation of its respective tax returns (if applicable). Each investor will also receive a monthly report setting forth the value of its capital account or shareholdings, as the case may be, from a third party administrator via an electronic portal. Each Private Fund investor will also receive such periodic performance reports as the general partner or investment manager may deem appropriate. Investors in the Sponsored Registered Funds will receive regular written reports in accordance with the principles established in the relevant UCITS directives or U.S. federal securities laws (as applicable).

You should be aware that these practices may lead to a potential conflict of interest for the referring party who may have an incentive to recommend investment products based on the compensation received, rather than on a client’s needs. Any referral fee commission or other payment made in connection with the referral of advisory clients or solicitation of investors will comply with Rule 206(4)-1 of the Advisers Act, wherever and as is applicable. Please see also the disclosures with respect to certain brokers discussed in Item 12 above. A subsidiary of the Firm currently owns Venrex, an investment management firm based in the United Kingdom. Under the Firm’s arrangement with Venrex, the Firm and certain of its affiliates and partners are entitled to receive a portion of the investment advisory fees, incentive compensation and other fees received by Venrex for the services it provides to the funds or accounts it manages (the “Venrex Funds”). Certain of our investors may also invest, directly or indirectly, in the Venrex Funds (and the Firm has established certain vehicles to invest in Venrex Funds), and the Firm and certain of its affiliates and partners will receive a portion of the investment advisory fees, incentive compensation and other fees paid by such investors, directly or indirectly, in respect of the Venrex Funds, including any administration fees, transaction fees, management fees, commissions and performance fees or carried interest allocations. Consequently, the Firm faces a potential conflict of interest with respect to its relationship with Venrex insofar as the Firm will benefit if their investors are introduced to, or directly or indirectly invest in, the Venrex Funds. Currently the investment strategies of the Venrex Funds do not overlap with our investment strategies.

Upon liquidation of a Private Fund, the Firm, where required by law or contract, will distribute its audited financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP to all investors in the Private Fund promptly after the completion of such audit. For any separately managed accounts that are not registered investment companies for which the Firm is deemed to have custody pursuant to Rule 206(4)-2 under the Advisers Act (other than separately managed accounts where the Firm is deemed to have custody solely as a consequence of its authority to make withdrawals from the account to pay fees), the Firm will arrange for a surprise examination of such accounts. For separately managed account over which the Firm is deemed to have custody solely because we automatically deduct fees, we will get a certification that clients receive quarterly account statements from the Qualified Custodians for their accounts. Clients should carefully review such account statements and compare them to those received from the Firm. For those client accounts where we submit to the client or its custodian a bill for management fees (discussed above), we have a reasonable belief, after due inquiry, that the qualified custodians of those accounts send account statements to such clients no less frequently than on a quarterly basis.

Our policy is to vote clients’ proxies in the interest of maximizing shareholder value - voting proxies in such a manner as to cause the issue to increase the most or decline the least - considering both the short and long term implications of the proposal to be voted. If an analyst determines that they or the Firm are facing a material conflict of interest in voting a client’s proxy, and the proposed vote is in conflict with our stated guidelines or policies on a particular issue, our procedures provide for a Proxy Voting Committee to determine the appropriate vote. The Firm’s policy on voting proxies can differ for certain clients can differ based on their investment strategy. Our written proxy voting policy and procedures are available for clients’ review. In addition, our complete proxy voting record is available. A copy of the policies and the proxy voting record relating to the respective client may be obtained by contacting us at Select Equity Group, L.P., 380 Lafayette Street, New York, NY 10003 or (212) 4758335. Separately managed account clients that engage in securities lending are responsible for ensuring that any securities out on loan are recalled or the Firm will not be able to vote the shares out on loan. Separately managed account clients also should ensure that all required power-of-attorney documents are on file with their custodians to permit the Firm to vote shares in the non-U.S. jurisdictions where such documentation is required. We are not authorized to provide advice with respect to, or participate on behalf of our separately managed account clients in, legal matters, including class action settlement and bankruptcies. We may, however, where we deem appropriate in our sole discretion, elect to participate in a class action settlement or other litigation on behalf of our Private Fund clients or the Sponsored RIC where we have the requisite authority to take such action.
