First Sentier Investors: investment adviser

In Australia, FSI ARE is the holder of an Australian Financial Services Licence (AFSL 240550) issued by the Australian Securities and Investments Commission. FSI ARE provides investment management services to institutional clients through a separate account based on customized investment objectives or guidelines, time horizons, risk tolerances and limitations of such clients. FSI ARE tailor the fees charged to clients and the type of reporting they receive. FSI ARE is the investment adviser to investment vehicles with U.S. and non-U.S. institutional investors which are offered in the US (“Private Funds”). FSI ARE does not anticipate registering such investment vehicles under the U.S. Investment Company Act of 1940 and their shares or interests, as applicable, will not be registered under the U.S. Securities Act of 1933. Accordingly, no Private Funds will be publicly offered in the United States. For completeness, please note that the ADV Part 1 application and the below asset under management figures refer to the capabilities of FSI ARE as a whole (i.e. not only Private Funds), and the supporting facts and figures reflect this. FSI ARE does participate in wrap fee programs in Australia that are not available for investment by US persons. As of 31 December 2025, FSI ARE assets under management were as follows: Discretionary:

US$ 6,826,532,723

Non-Discretionary:

Nil

Total:

US$ 6,826,532,723

This includes assets where we have sub-delegated discretion to an affiliate and assets where an affiliated manager has delegated authority to FSI ARE. Therefore, certain of the assets will also be included in the AUM reported by our affiliated managers.

FSI ARE will normally invoice clients directly for the fees they have incurred. FSI ARE will not deduct fees directly from client accounts unless clients have explicitly instructed us to do so. This will be done after the client’s receipt and review of the invoice or fee calculation. In addition to FSI ARE’s management fee, clients will incur other fees and expenses charged by third parties in relation to their accounts which include, but are not limited to, valuation and audit fees, custody fees, brokerage, foreign exchanges fees and other transaction costs.

Private Funds For management of the Private Funds, FSI ARE will receive a management fee as a percentage of assets under management paid quarterly in arrears. FSI ARE will also be entitled to a performance fee on the terms described in the constituent documents of the fund and the private placement memorandum. FSI ARE will pay out of the assets of the Private Fund (and accordingly, the investors will bear) all of the ordinary and extraordinary expenses, which include, but are not limited to:

Expenses associated with the holding of existing Investments, for example valuation fees;

Expenses associated with the acquisition or disposal of investments, for example due diligence costs;

Administrative costs, for example registry and custodial charges;

Costs incurred in obtaining financial accommodation for the Private Fund;

Interest charges on financial accommodation;

Costs incurred in connection with professional consultants or advisors (e.g. legal, tax, accounting, audit or valuation) whether or not members of MUFG;

Communication and reporting expenses (including costs incurred to convene meetings, etc.); and

Other costs including bank fees and printing and postage costs.

Based on this preliminary investment review, a presentation will be made to the Investment Committee and a decision will be made on whether to progress the opportunity to the due diligence phase. The objective of the due diligence phase is to undertake a detailed assessment of the investment opportunity in order to understand the overall risk and return profile of the investment and its suitability for the client and to develop a strategy to minimise execution risk and improve the probability of securing the investment on attractive terms. The due diligence process typically involves:

Appointing appropriate due diligence advisors to undertake independent assessments of financial and operating information. A concerted effort is made to appoint advisors in a timely manner, so as to ensure the best possible advisory team can be retained for the transaction;

Developing a detailed understanding of both the asset profile and investment profile;

Meeting with existing management teams and current owners of the asset if possible;

Identifying quantifiable and non‑quantifiable risk factors and mitigants;

Identifying growth potential and any other opportunities to optimise the asset profile and investment profile;

Developing a financial model with long‑term cash flow projections to support an investment case and stress test the investment profile.

The due diligence process involves developing a detailed understanding of the impact of multiple factors relating to the investment opportunity including macro factors (such as industry/sector specific variables, country and political risk and general market condition) and micro factors (including strength of management team, competitive position with industry, cost and capital structures and demand).

Investment Strategies Our investment strategy is designed in order:

To create a diversified infrastructure portfolio capable of generating attractive risk-adjusted returns over a long-term horizon, and

To leverage the deep skillset, 25+ years of investment experience and substantial resources of the Investment Team in order to procure and actively manage quality assets to enhance the Private Funds’ investment performance.

Page | 7

The pillars of the investment strategy are:

Long term investment horizon – a strategic focus on mature assets offering sustainable income generation in OECD countries;

Core and Core+ infrastructure opportunities – the Private Funds aim to avoid style drift into peripheral infrastructure or emerging markets;

Mid-market deals, typically focusing on seeking high-value opportunities; and

Active asset management –seeking lead or co-lead positions which offer greater control and influence over asset management activities, supporting development and implementation of strategic goals, and championing responsible investment and the adoption of relevant United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals across all stages of the investment lifecycle.

The target sectors include (but are not limited to) gas, water and electricity networks, oil, gas and chemical storage facilities, airports, ports, rail, toll roads, transport services, renewables, waste, and fixed telecommunications infrastructure. The Private Funds seeks to invest in established and operating businesses, and seek to manage exposure to material revenue, operating and construction risks.

Risk Factors Cybersecurity Risk There is a risk of fraud, data loss, business disruption or damage to the information of the Fund or to investors’ personal information as a result of a threat or failure to protect the information or personal data stored within the IT systems and networks of the Trustee/GP, Managers or other service providers. Demand Risk and Usage Charges The level of demand, usage or patronage for the service or commodity provided by an infrastructure Investment of the Private Fund may fall below expectations and adversely affect the performance of the Private Fund. Economic Conditions and Business Risk Changes in economic conditions, including, for example, interest rates, foreign exchange rates, inflation rates, employment conditions, competition, technological developments, political and diplomatic events and trends, changes in tax laws and regulations and emerging environmental factors such as changing climate conditions can affect substantially and adversely the business and prospects of the investments. None of these conditions are within the control of FSI ARE and no assurances can be given that FSI ARE will anticipate such developments. The investments consist primarily of securities issued by entities which are privately owned. Operating results of such entities will be difficult to predict. Such Investments are subject to a high degree of business and financial risks that can result in substantial losses. This includes risks associated with the emergence or development of competitors for services offered by the Private Funds’ assets, and due to adverse changes in macro-economic and environmental conditions. Force Majeure Risk Force majeure is the term generally used to refer to an event beyond the control of any party, including acts of God, fires, floods, earthquakes, wars, strikes and acts of terrorism. Some force majeure risks are uninsurable and, if such events occur, they may have adverse effects on the Fund or the Investments. General Investment Risk

Direct investment in infrastructure is speculative and involves substantial risk, including the risk of loss of an investor’s entire investment. The Private Funds are subject to those market risks common to investing in all types of financial instruments. In addition, infrastructure investments are subject to some of the following material risks. Litigation Risk If any of the Private Fund’s portfolio investments become involved in material or protracted litigation, the litigation expenses and the liability threatened or imposed could have a material adverse effect on the Private Fund. Liquidity Risk The investments of the Private Funds into unlisted infrastructure assets are highly illiquid and difficult to realise. There is no obligation to permit redemption of an Investor’s interest in the Private Funds if requested, and the Private Funds may not have sufficient available cash to fund the redemption when requested. The Private Funds will be under no obligation to make such cash available through the sale of assets, borrowings or otherwise to provide liquidity for Investors. Management Risk The investment strategies, techniques and risk analyses employed, while designed to enhance returns, may not produce the desired results. The assessment of a particular security or assessment of market, interest rate or other trends could be incorrect, which can result in losses. Market Risk Investment returns are influenced by the performance of the market as a whole. This means that the investments can be affected by things like changes in interest rates, investor sentiment and global events, depending on which markets or asset classes our clients invest in. Non-Diversification Risk Non-diversification of investments means a portfolio may invest a large percentage of its assets in securities represented by a small number of issuers. As a result, the portfolio’s performance may depend on the performance of a small number of issuers. Operational Risk The risk of loss resulting from inadequate or failed internal processes, people and systems, or from external events. Adverse impacts may arise internally through human error, technology or infrastructure changes, or through external events such as third party failures or crisis events. There is also exposure to the operational risk of the underlying business of each investment. Specialised skills are required to run an infrastructure business successfully. An inefficient or failed operation may adversely affect the profitability of the underlying business leading to a lower performance on the investment. This includes workplace health and safety related risks of the underlying business of each investment, being the risk of possible harm to individuals when exposed to a hazard. Personnel Risks The performance of a security which derives income from infrastructure assets may be impacted by the loss of key asset management personnel. We seek to minimise personnel risks by allocating significant resources to the investments. Remuneration is competitive and directly linked to the performance of the investment. Teams are mandated to grow funds under management and are backed by internal resources, including product development, information technology, trading and distribution.

Potential Environmental Risk The portfolio may hold securities in an issuer who may be liable for the costs of removal or remediation of hazardous or toxic substances. The costs of any required remediation or removal of such substances may be substantial. The presence of such substances, or the failure to remediate such substances properly and any regulatory penalties may adversely impact the value of the securities causing a loss. Regulatory, Political and Social Risk Investments may be made in assets that are subject to industry-specific regulation including price and environmental regulation. An underlying asset may breach the regulatory regime it is subject to. There is also the risk that changes to existing laws or the introduction of new legislation may adversely affect the value of investments. In addition, the operations of Investments may rely on government permits, licences, concessions, leases or contracts. With any Investment, there exists the risk of adverse political, legal and tax developments, including nationalisation, termination or non-payment of concessions, confiscation without fair compensation, windfall profit tax, or war. Furthermore, any restriction imposed to prevent capital flight may make it difficult or impossible to exchange or repatriate currency. Reputation and Environmental Risk Reputation risk arises from the public’s adverse perception of the performance of an asset. This may involve issues such as impacts on public health or safety, environmental damage or social justice, for example. The broader issue associated with reputation risk is that once a particular asset is tainted in the public eye, this brand damage may extend across the portfolio of assets within a Private Fund or separate account. Valuation and Reporting Risk The information and valuation data provided by the independent valuer may not always be provided in a timely manner and may contain valuation errors. In such a case, adjustments may be made in good faith to account for relevant factors should the information from the independent valuer be delivered late or be obviously incomplete or inaccurate. As a result, such indicative NAV may not be accurate and may be revised on a subsequent valuation date. There can be no assurance that the Investment values that factor into the calculation of the NAV from time to time will ultimately be realised and the NAV of the Private Fund may be adversely affected if the values of Investments that the Private Fund records are materially higher than the values that are ultimately realised upon disposal.

You can request a copy of our Code of Ethics by emailing AUenquiries@firstsentier.com. Definitions: Supervised Person: is any partner, officer, director (or other person occupying a similar status or performing similar functions), or employee of an investment adviser, or other person who provides investment advice on behalf of the investment adviser and is subject to the supervision and control of the investment adviser. Access Person: is a Supervised Person who has access to non-public information regarding clients’ purchase or sale of securities, is involved in making securities recommendations to clients or who has access to such recommendations that are non-public.

The Code also outlines the requirements, and where relevant references policies to ensure the standards detailed above are adhered to and include: Protection of Non-Public Information It is a crime in the U.S. and many other countries to transact in a company’s securities while in possession of material non-public information about the company. Supervised Persons are responsible for safeguarding non-public information relating to securities recommendations, fund and client holdings. As such, Supervised Persons must not trade based on FSI ARE’s confidential and proprietary investment information or on the non-public information of other companies that may be in its possession. Other types of information (e.g., marketing plans, employment issues, client identities, etc.) may also be confidential and should not be shared with individuals outside FSI ARE (except those retained to provide services for FSI ARE). Personal Securities Trading Page | 12

FSI ARE’s directors, officers, and employees, including Access Persons and their Related Persons buy, sell, and hold for their own and their family members’ accounts public securities, private securities, and other investments in which such FSI ARE personnel have a pecuniary interest. Such investments may also be bought, sold, or held for clients or through accounts (or investments in funds) managed by FSI ARE or otherwise. As a result of differing trading and investment strategies or constraints, positions taken by FSI ARE directors, officers, and employees can be the same as or different from, or made contemporaneously or at different times than, positions taken for clients. As these situations involve potential conflicts of interest, FSI ARE has adopted policies and procedures relating to personal securities transactions, insider trading and other ethical considerations, including the Global Personal Dealing Policy in accordance with Rule 204A-1 under the Advisers Act. These policies and procedures are intended to identify and prevent actual conflicts of interest with clients and to resolve such conflicts appropriately if they do occur. The Global Personal Dealing Policy as summarised in the Code governs personal trading by all employees (including Access Persons) and their Related Persons. Employees are permitted to maintain personal securities accounts provided that such accounts are disclosed to FSI ARE and that any personal trading is consistent with the Global Personal Dealing Policy, the Code of Ethics and applicable law. In summary the requirements that apply to employees, including Access Persons and their Related Persons are:

Initial and annual, reports of securities and holdings must be submitted.

Initial and changes to the broker, dealer or bank accounts in which any securities are held must be submitted.

Transactions in listed securities, including highly concentrated ETFs, require pre-approval and are subject to a minimum holding period of 120 days. In some regions securities may be sold inside the minimum holding period where the employee has suffered a minimum 20% loss as evidenced on the employee’s broker statement and Compliance has pre-cleared the trade.

Imposes “blackout” periods on all employees prohibiting transactions in certain securities during time periods surrounding transactions in the same securities or related securities by client accounts.

Not submit more than 20 pre-clearance approval requests per calendar quarter.

Employees located in the US are prohibited from purchasing initial public offerings (IPOs).

Access Persons located jurisdictions outside of the US are prohibited from participating in IPOs that will be listed on a US exchange.

Access Persons must obtain approval before acquiring a beneficial ownership on a limited offering or private placement.

Investment team employees in Unlisted Infrastructure and their related persons cannot invest in any security issued by a company in which the Unlisted Infrastructure team is currently undertaking analysis (or it is known at a point in the future that analysis will be undertaken), with a view to acquiring the company, or assets of the company (refer to Conflict of Interest below on the segregation of investment teams).

Gifts and Gratuities The purpose of business entertainment and gifts in a commercial setting is to create good will and sound working relationships; not to gain unfair advantage with clients or vendors. When offering or accepting gifts and/ or entertainment the following principles apply:

Page | 13

(i)

FSI ARE does not engage in bribery or corrupt activities;

(ii)

FSI ARE is responsible for identifying and managing any conflict of interest;

(iii) Gifts must not be solicited and all gifts offered and accepted must be reasonable and proportionate; and (iv) If there is any doubt about appropriateness of a gift to offer or accept, it should not be made or the gift politely declined. Conflicts of Interest In the discharge of its fiduciary duties FSI ARE has in place policies and procedures to manage actual perceived or potential conflicts of interest. In summary this involves:

Avoiding it, where the conflict cannot be satisfactorily managed, for whatever reason, through controls and disclosure, or

Controlling it, through the operation of controls, or

Disclosing it. For the disclosure to be effective, it must be complete providing sufficient detail for the client to decide how the conflict impacts service to them and it must be timely, prominent and meaningful.

FSI ARE from time to time does invest in the same securities that its affiliates invest in. Portfolio management and security recommendations are undertaken at an investment strategy level and each investment team managing these strategies is organised separately. Information barriers and other controls (such as restricting access to each other’s investment management systems and research files) exist between investment teams to manage any potential conflicts that may arise. Outside business interests FSI ARE’s fiduciary duties to clients dictate that FSI ARE and its Supervised Persons devote their professional attention to client interests above their own and those of other organizations. Where there is a potential or perceived conflict, permission must be obtained through management and the Compliance team prior to engaging in any outside business activity. FSI ARE can deny approval where the perceived conflict of interest cannot be managed effectively.

Although allocating orders among FSI ARE clients creates potential conflicts of interest because FSI ARE could receive greater fees or overall compensation from some clients than received from other clients, allocation decisions will not be made based on such greater fees or compensation.

Periodic written data, including valuations and transaction information, will be provided on a quarterly (or as otherwise agreed) basis and may be supplied to the client or the client’s custodian for accounting or reconciliation purposes. In addition, clients will receive quarterly reports, either following a standard template, or tailored to suit the individual client or mandate requirements. FSI ARE regularly reviews performance, counterparty risk and associated issues, breaches of investment guidelines and any general dealing or operational factors which affect the Private Funds. In the event of a major market dislocation, or similar event, client accounts would be reviewed and appropriate action and communication undertaken promptly.
