Prior to providing advice to an Institutional Investor, Hale will spend time with the client asking questions, discussing the client’s investment experience and financial circumstances, and broadly identifying major goals of the client. For example, Hale may discuss with the client cash flows, required distributions, significant institutional events, risk tolerance, and return expectations, among others. An Institutional Investor may impose restrictions on the types of securities in which Hale may invest on its behalf and may provide investment guidelines to Hale at any time.

Type and Value of Assets Currently Managed As of December 31, 2025, Hale had $788,285,666 in discretionary assets under management. Principal Owners The sole principal owner of Hale is Steven A. Hale II.

Item 5. Fees and compensation

Fund Fees Neither Hale Partnership Fund L.P. nor MGEN II – Hale Fund, L.P. charge a management fee to their investors. However, Hale Medical Office Building Fund, L.P., Hale Government Building Fund, L.P., Smith - Hale Fund L.P., Dickinson – Hale Fund L.P., and Hale ICFG Fund, L.P. do charge management fees to their investors. Such management fees are paid to Hale on the following terms: Hale Medical Office Building Fund, L.P. The Fund pays to Hale an asset management fee equal to 1.0% annually (0.25% each quarter) of the aggregate capital contributions made to the Fund by then-current investors in the Fund. Hale Government Building Fund, L.P.

Read the rest of Item 5 (384 more words)

The Fund pays to Hale an asset management fee equal to 1.0% annually (0.25% each quarter) of the aggregate capital commitments made to the Fund as of the last day of the immediately preceding calendar quarter by then-current investors in the Fund. Smith - Hale Fund L.P. Each Fund investor pays, through the Fund, its proportionate share of the quarterly management fee calculated and payable in advance to Hale as of the close of business in New York on the last business day of the preceding quarter. The management fee is calculated based on an annual rate of one percent (1%) of the Fund’s net assets less cash. Dickinson – Hale Fund L.P. Each Fund investor pays, through the Fund, its proportionate share of the quarterly management fee calculated and payable in advance to Hale as of the close of business in New York on the last business day of the preceding quarter. The management fee is calculated based on an annual rate of one percent (1%) of the Fund’s net assets. Hale ICFG Fund, L.P. The Fund pays to Hale an asset management fee equal to 1.0% annually (0.25% each quarter) of the net asset value of the Fund, which is calculated and payable in advance, on the first day of each calendar quarter, and prorated for any partial calendar quarter. The Management Fees of the Funds are generally subject to waiver or reduction by the General Partner in its sole discretion. In addition, each Fund is also responsible for certain of its operating expenses. Such expenses generally include, without limitation, legal, accounting, tax, auditing, custodial, and administrative fees, as outlined in the offering document related to each Fund. Institutional Investor Fees Hale’s fees for Institutional Investors are negotiated individually with each client. Generally, fees are deducted from or paid by an Institutional Investor’s account either monthly or quarterly in arrears.

In the event of a termination of a Fund’s or an Institutional Investor’s investment advisory agreement, fees will be prorated. Any paid but unearned fees will be promptly refunded, and any fees due to Hale will be invoiced or deducted from the Fund’s or the Institutional Investor’s account prior to termination. Additional information related to the foregoing fee discussion is set forth below under “Performance-Based Fees and Side-By-Side Management” and “Brokerage Practices”.

Item 6. Performance-based fees and side-by-side management

Fund Performance Fees While Hale does not receive a performance-based fee, the General Partner generally receives performance-based fees in the form of carried interest of up to 25% of the net profits earned by each Fund investor above the applicable hurdle rate and, as applicable, after any loss carryforward provision is satisfied, as further described in each Fund’s offering documents. While the Funds have long-term investment strategies, potential investors should note that a carried interest arrangement may nonetheless provide an incentive for Hale to make investments that are riskier or more speculative than would be the case in the absence of such an arrangement.

Read the rest of Item 6 (155 more words)

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the General Partner may negotiate or set performance fees and other terms different from the foregoing with respect to any Fund Hale manages. Institutional Investor Performance Fees With respect to certain Institutional Investors, Hale generally receives performancebased fees in the form of carried interest of up to 15% of the net profits earned by each applicable Institutional Investor above the applicable hurdle rate and, as applicable, after any loss carryforward provision is satisfied, as further described in each Institutional Investor’s investment management agreement. While the Institutional Investors may have long-term investment strategies, potential investors should note that a carried interest arrangement may nonetheless provide an incentive for Hale to make investments that are riskier or more speculative than would be the case in the absence of such an arrangement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Hale may negotiate or set performance fees and other terms different from the foregoing with respect to any Institutional Investor.

Item 7. Types of clients

Hale currently provides investment advisory services to the Funds and to Institutional Investors. Interests in the Funds are offered pursuant to applicable exemptions from registration under the Securities Act and the Investment Company Act. Investors eligible to invest in the Funds are “accredited investors” as defined in Regulation D under the Securities Act. “Accredited investors” may include high net worth individuals, banks,

thrift institutions, pension and profit-sharing plans, trusts, estates, charitable organizations and other business entities. The minimum investment requirement for a Fund offered by Hale varies from Fund to Fund, but typically begins at $100,000. Hale Partnership Fund, L.P. is the only fund open to new investors. The minimum account size for Hale Partnership Fund, L.P. is $250,000. Hale reserves the right to negotiate the minimum investment amount with the investor and may have accounts where the initial investment is more or less than $250,000 or $500,000, respectively. The General Partner of each Fund, in its sole discretion, may permit investments that are less than the required minimum investment commitment set forth in the applicable Fund’s offering documents. The minimum investment required for an Institutional Investor varies and is subject to negotiation, but typically begins at $40 million. Hale may allow certain investors to invest in a Fund on different business terms than other investors. For example, one Fund may agree to provide certain investors additional or different information from the information made available to the other investors in that Fund. Hale also may agree to provide certain investors with a fee arrangement that differs in structure and amount from that generally available to investors in the same Fund. In determining whether to allow an investor to participate in a Fund on different business terms, Hale may consider a number of different factors including, but not limited to, Hale’s belief about whether the different terms will adversely affect the other investors in the relevant Fund considered as a group; such investor’s objectives in requesting or accepting such terms; whether such investor is under legal, regulatory or “best practices” obligations to request such terms; and/or whether granting such terms is in any respect inconsistent with representations made by the Fund or Hale to investors.

Item 8. Methods of analysis, investment strategies and risk of loss

Methods of Analysis and Investment Strategies Hale currently manages each Fund in accordance with the investment strategy outlined in its offering documents. Each strategy involves significant risks, including the risk that each Fund (and, in turn, the Fund investors), could lose some or all of any invested capital. An investment in a Fund will provide limited liquidity because there are significant restrictions on transferability of each Fund’s interests and withdrawals from each Fund. A general description of the primary investment strategies of the Funds is set forth below: Hale Partnership Fund, L.P.

Read the rest of Item 8 (3,375 more words)

The Fund seeks to maximize after-tax total returns by exploiting inefficient segments of the financial markets including, but not limited to, small capitalization equities, value equities, merger arbitrage, distressed debt, post-reorganization equities, corporate liquidations, options, commercial loans, and private operating businesses.

The Fund targets a concentrated portfolio of between ten and fifteen such positions. In addition to those positions, Hale may use options or sell securities short to hedge the Fund’s exposure to the stock market, interest rates, and/or currencies. MGEN II – Hale Fund, L.P. The investment strategy utilized in managing this Fund is identical to the strategy utilized in managing Hale Partnership Fund, L.P. However, this fund is closed to outside investors. Hale Medical Office Building Fund, L.P. The Fund seeks to invest in properties with prime location, primarily medical and government office building properties located in and around the Southeast and MidAtlantic regions of the United States. The Fund may also invest in other attractive real estate, real-estate related, and co-investment opportunities, including, without limitation, real estate investment trusts and joint real estate investments. This fund is closed to outside investors. Hale Government Building Fund, L.P. The Fund seeks to recapitalize HC Government Realty Trust, Inc., a Maryland corporation, through investment in certain preferred equity and in the mezzanine debt of HC Government Realty Holdings, L.P., a subsidiary of HC Government Realty Trust, Inc. The Fund may also invest in other attractive real-estate related and coinvestment opportunities, including, without limitation, real estate investment trusts and joint real estate investments. This fund is closed to outside investors. Smith - Hale Fund L.P. The investment strategy utilized in managing this Fund is identical to the strategy utilized in managing Hale Partnership Fund, L.P. However, this fund is closed to outside investors. Dickinson - Hale Fund L.P. The investment strategy utilized in managing this Fund is identical to the strategy utilized in managing Hale Partnership Fund, L.P. However, this fund is closed to outside investors. Hale ICFG Fund, L.P. The Fund seeks to maximize after-tax total returns by exploiting inefficient segments of the financial markets, including, but not limited to, small capitalization equities, merger arbitrage, distressed debt, post-reorganization equities, convertible preferred securities, commercial loans, and private operating businesses. This fund is closed to outside investors. Hale may provide investment advisory services to Institutional Investors utilizing, in whole or in part, the investment strategies utilized by the Funds.

Risk of Loss Investing in securities involves risk of loss that you should be prepared to bear. We do not guarantee the success of any investment decision, methodology, or strategy that we may use, or the success of our overall management. We invest client accounts in different types of securities and financial instruments, which are subject to risks. Therefore, using our advisory services involves various risks, including, but not limited to, the risk factors set forth below. While these risk factors should be reviewed carefully, other risk factors ultimately may affect investment returns and performance in a manner and to a degree not now foreseen or not specifically identified in this Brochure disclosure. Prospective investors should consider the risk factors set forth below in addition to risks included in the offering materials and/or governing documents of the Funds. Acquired Fund Risk. Investing in securities issued by registered investment companies and private investment partnerships involves the paying of a portion of the operating costs of the investment companies or partnerships. These costs include management, brokerage, shareholder servicing, and other operational expenses. Since these costs may involve the duplication of advisory fees and other expenses, you may indirectly pay higher operational costs than if you owned shares of the underlying investments of the investment company directly. Activist Investor Risk. When utilizing the strategies described above, we are likely to invest in the securities of a company in which an activist investor is exerting or is trying to exert influence. We will invest in such securities when we believe that the activist is likely to exert influence on the company in a positive way and deliver value for investors. However, the risk exists that the company will utilize various means to neutralize the activist and avoid the activist’s influence or that the activist will determine the cost of fighting to gain influence over the company is too great and abandon the effort. Either outcome would likely have a negative effect on the value of the company’s securities. Cash or Cash Equivalents Risk. When holding cash or cash equivalents, there is the risk that the value of the cash account, including interest, will not keep pace with inflation, thus reducing purchasing power over time. Commodity Risk. Investments which may be affected by commodity risks include equity investments in companies whose business relates to the value of commodities directly and indirectly, futures contracts tied to the price of particular commodities, and shares of investment pools that invest in commodity-related equities or futures contracts. Investments related to commodities may be more volatile and less liquid than alternative investments. The value of investments related to commodities may be materially and quickly changed by government regulation, natural disasters, technological innovation, wars and terrorist attacks, and other events outside of our control. Currency Risk. Changes in the exchange rates between foreign currencies and the U.S. dollar may negatively affect the value of investments in foreign securities. For example, a U.S. investor will receive fewer dollars if foreign securities denominated in

a foreign currency are sold, mature, or are liquidated after the foreign currency has weakened relative to the U.S. dollar. Domestic securities whose issuers conduct a significant portion of their business in foreign currencies may also be negatively affected by changes in the exchange rates between those foreign currencies and the U.S. dollar, which may negatively affect the value of those domestic securities. Derivatives Risk. Even a small investment in derivatives (which include options, futures and other transactions) may give rise to leverage risk (which can increase volatility and magnify a portfolio’s potential for loss), and can have a significant impact on the portfolio’s performance. Derivatives are also subject to credit risk (the counterparty may default) and liquidity risk (it may be difficult to save or otherwise exit the contract in a timely manner). Equity Security Risk. Common and preferred stocks are susceptible to general stock market fluctuations and to volatile increases and decreases in value as market confidence in and perceptions of their issuers change. Warrants and rights may expire worthless if the price of a share of common stock is below the conversion price of the warrant or right. Convertible bonds may decline in value if the price of a share of common stock falls below the conversion price. Investor perceptions are based on various and unpredictable factors, including expectations regarding government, economic, monetary and fiscal policies; inflation and interest rates; economic expansion or contraction and global or regional political, economic and banking crises, any of which may cause decreases in the values of equity securities. Hedging Risk. Hedging is a strategy in which a derivative is used to offset the risks associated with other holdings (e.g., purchasing an S&P futures contract to offset a substantial short equity position). There can be no assurance that the hedging strategy will reduce risk or that hedging transactions will be either available or cost effective. Index Risk. If the derivative is linked to the performance of an index, it will be subject to the risks associated with changes in that index. Inflation Risk. Increases in real interest rates can cause the price of debt securities to decrease. Interest payments on debt securities can be unpredictable. Interest Rate Risk. Fixed income securities and other instruments may decline in value because of a general increase in interest rates. As nominal interest rates rise, the value of certain fixed income securities is likely to decrease. A nominal interest rate can be described as the sum of a real interest rate and an expected inflation rate. Fixed income securities with longer durations tend to be more sensitive to changes in interest rates, usually making them more volatile than securities with shorter durations. The values of equity and other non-fixed income securities may also decline due to fluctuations in interest rates. Leverage Risk. Using derivatives like commodity futures and options to increase a portfolio’s combined long and short exposure creates leverage, which can magnify the potential for gain or loss and, therefore, amplify the effects of market volatility on the portfolio’s value.

Liquidity Risk. Liquidity refers to the relative ease of turning an investment into cash or a cash equivalent. Liquidity is primarily affected by the present demand for the investment relative to the supply available for purchase. In utilizing the strategies described above, we are likely to make investments in relatively small markets where we believe we can find mispriced assets. However, acquiring investments in such markets carries the risk that we will be unable to find a willing buyer for the investments when we determine it is time to sell the investment. As a result, we may not be able to sell the investment at what we believe to be a fair price or may be unable to sell the investment at all. Management Risk. The portfolio manager’s judgements about the attractiveness, value and potential appreciation of particular investments may prove to be incorrect and there is no guarantee that the portfolio manager’s judgement will produce the desired results. Market Risk. The value of securities may decline due to daily fluctuations in the securities markets. Performance of securities will vary daily, based on many factors that affect the stock market, including changes in interest rates, national and international economic conditions, and general equity market conditions. In a declining stock market, stock prices for all companies may decline, regardless of the long-term prospects of particular companies. Mezzanine Debt Risk. Mezzanine debt generally is rated below investment grade, and frequently is unrated. Because mezzanine debt typically is the most subordinated debt obligation in an issuer’s capital structure, it is subject to the additional risk that the cash flow of the borrower and any property securing the loan may be insufficient to repay the loan after the related borrower pays off any senior obligations. Mezzanine loans, which are usually issued in private placement transactions, may be considered illiquid. In addition, they are often used by smaller companies that may be highly leveraged, and in turn may be subject to a higher risk of default. Investment in mezzanine debt is a specialized practice that depends more heavily on independent credit analysis than investments in other fixed-income securities. Mezzanine debt involves a greater credit risk of default due to the need to service more senior debt of the issuer. Non-Diversification Risk. A relatively high percentage of the assets in a portfolio may be invested in the securities of a limited number of companies that could be in the same or related economic sectors. Accordingly, your portfolio may be more susceptible to any single economic, technological or regulatory occurrence than the portfolio of a diversified portfolio. Options Risk. There are risks associated with the sale and purchase of call and put options. The seller (writer) of a put option tends to lose money if the value of the reference index or security falls below the strike price. The seller (writer) of a call option tends to lose money if the value of the reference index or security rises above the strike price. The buyer of a put or call option risks losing the entire premium invested in the option if the value of the reference index or security is such that the option is not exercised before it expires.

Political Risk. Political elections and the public policy crafted as a result thereof can negatively affect investments. At one extreme, elections may lead to the nationalization of industries, particular sub-sets of industries, or company assets. However, elections may also lead to public policy decisions resulting in a sudden or gradual change in the availability of a commodity, barriers to entry in business or a business sector, tariffs, and taxes. Public policy decisions can also change incentives related to the desirability of entering into certain transactions, including, but not limited to, mergers and spin-offs, which could negatively affect investments. Preferred Equity Risk. Preferred securities represent an equity interest in a company that generally entitles the holder to receive, in preference to the holders of other classes of stock, such as common stock, dividends and a fixed share of the proceeds resulting from a liquidation of the company. Preferred securities may pay fixed or adjustable rates of return. The market value of preferred securities is subject to company-specific and market risks applicable generally to equity securities and is also sensitive to changes in the company’s creditworthiness, the ability of the company to make payments on the preferred securities, and changes in interest rates, typically declining in value if interest rates rise. In addition, preferred equity investments involve a greater risk of loss than conventional debt financing due to their noncollateralized nature and subordinated ranking. The ability of a holder of junior claims to proceed against a defaulting issuer is circumscribed by the terms of the particular contractual arrangement, which vary considerably from transaction to transaction. Real Estate Risk. Real estate risk entails a wide variety of risks, including, but not limited to, changes in taxation, regulations and economic and political factors that negatively impact the real estate market and the direct ownership of real estate. Additional real estate risks include overbuilding in a particular community or region (i.e., surplus inventory), rising operating costs, rising mortgage interest rates, and increased property taxes. Some real estate-related investments are not fully diversified and are subject to the risks associated with financing a limited number of projects. In addition, some real estate investments, such as real estate investment trusts, may be heavily dependent upon the management team and are subject to heavy cash flow dependency, defaults by borrowers and self-liquidation. Sector Risk. When investments are concentrated in a sector or group of sectors, investment returns may be adversely impacted by events or developments in such sector or group of sectors. These events or developments might include additional government regulation, resource shortages or surpluses, changes in consumer demands or improvements in technology that make products or services of a particular sector less desirable. Investment in Government Properties Risk. With respect to any Fund that invests in properties leased to the U.S. Government, any failure by the U.S. Government to perform its obligations under its leases or a failure by the U.S. Government to renew its leases upon expiration, as well as any terminations of leases by government agency or department tenants as a result of the current policies of the presidential administration, could cause interruptions in the receipt of lease revenue or result in

vacancies, or both, which would reduce revenue until the affected properties are leased, and could decrease the ultimate value of the affected property upon sale, all of which could impact investment returns. By executive order on January 20, 2025, President Trump established the Department of Government Efficiency (“DOGE”) to maximize government efficiency and productivity. Among the actions taken by DOGE toward this goal were the terminations of leases by government agency or department tenants at numerous real estate properties around the country. While DOGE was disbanded in November 2025, any further effort by the U.S. Government to terminate leases by government agency or department tenants for purposes of maximizing government efficiency and productivity, or otherwise, could materially and adversely affect a Fund’s investment in properties leased to the U.S. Government. Investment in Medical Office Buildings Risk. With respect to any Fund that invests in medical office buildings, a downturn in the healthcare industry could negatively affect a medical office building lessee’s ability to make lease payments, or to otherwise perform its obligations under its lease, or could result in the lessee’s failure to renew its lease upon expiration, any of which could cause interruptions in the receipt of lease revenue or result in vacancies, or both. Such circumstances would reduce revenue until the affected properties are leased, and could decrease the ultimate value of the affected property upon sale, all of which could impact investment returns. Investment in Property Casualty Insurance and Reinsurance. With respect to any Fund that invests in property casualty insurance and reinsurance, such business is exposed to risks arising from catastrophes. Catastrophes can be caused by various natural events, including but not limited to hurricanes, tropical storms, tornadoes, windstorms, earthquakes, hail, and other severe weather events. The frequency and severity of weather conditions are inherently unpredictable, but the frequency and severity of property claims generally increase when severe weather conditions occur. In addition, longer-term natural catastrophe trends may be changing and new types of catastrophe losses may be developing due to climate change, its associated extreme weather events linked to rising temperatures and its effects on global weather patterns, greenhouse gases, sea, land and air temperatures, sea levels, rain, hail and snow. Climate studies by government agencies, academic institutions, catastrophe modeling organizations and other groups indicate that climate change may be altering the frequency and/or severity of catastrophic weather events, such as hurricanes, tornadoes, windstorms, floods and other natural disasters. These risks are particularly prevalent with respect to properties in Florida, where some of the Funds’ insurance and reinsurance properties are concentrated. As a result, catastrophes could be more frequent or severe than contemplated in pricing and risk management models and may have a material adverse effect on such Funds’ results from operations due to increases in the losses and loss adjustment expenses. Catastrophe losses, in excess of the insurance or reinsurance premium received, may reduce liquidity and adversely affect such Funds’ results from operations. Investment in Title Insurance and Title Agency Businesses. With respect to any Fund that invests in title insurance and title agency products and services, demand for such products and services generally decreases as real estate activity, such as sales, mortgage financing and mortgage refinancing, decreases. In general, real estate

activity and, as a result, the demand for title insurance and title agencies’ products and services, generally decreases in the following situations: (i) when mortgage interest rates are rising; (ii) when the availability of credit, including commercial and residential mortgage funding, is limited; and (iii) when real estate affordability is declining. National inventory levels for residential real estate have declined over the past several years and remain below historical average levels. The number of residential purchase transactions has also declined, particularly as a result of decreased demand due to increased mortgage interest rates beginning in 2022. Residential refinance activity is also strongly correlated with changes in mortgage interest rates, and rising mortgage interest rates during previous years have, expectedly, had an adverse impact on the refinance business, which is expected to continue for so long as mortgage interest rates remain high relative to the interest rates of outstanding mortgages. Higher interest rates have also negatively impacted the volume of commercial transactions since 2022. As a result, the title insurance and title agency industry may experience decreased revenues and earnings, and potentially increased title claims experience. Additionally, any increase in inflation could have an adverse impact on general and administrative expenses, as these costs could increase at a rate higher than revenues. The resulting effects on title insurance and title agencies’ businesses could be materially adverse, including a significant reduction in revenues, earnings and cash flows, deterioration in the value of or return on investments and increased credit risk from customers and others with obligations to title insurance companies and title agencies. Small and Mid-Capitalization Stock Risk. The earnings and prospects of small and mid-capitalization stocks are more volatile than those of larger companies. Smaller companies may experience higher failure rates than larger companies. Smaller companies normally have a lower trading volume than larger companies, which may tend to make their market price fall more disproportionately than larger companies in response to selling pressures. Smaller companies may also have limited markets, product lines or financial resources and may lack management experience. Turnover Risk. The investment processes and tools we utilize may lead to higher portfolio turnover. Higher turnover may result in higher transactional, brokerage, and tax costs. Higher costs may negatively affect portfolio returns.

Item 9. Disciplinary information

Hale has no disciplinary events to disclose.

Item 10. Other financial industry activities and affiliations

The General Partner serves as general partner of the Funds, and the principal owner of Hale is also the principal owner of the General Partner.

Item 11. Code of ethics, participation in client transactions and personal trading

Personal Trading Code of Ethics and Personal Trading Hale has adopted a Code of Ethics (the “Code”), the full text of which is available to any client or prospective client upon request. Hale’s Code has several goals. First, the Code is designed to assist Hale in complying with applicable laws and regulations governing its investment advisory business. Under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, as amended (the “Advisers Act”), Hale owes fiduciary duties to its clients. Pursuant to these fiduciary duties, the Code requires Hale-associated persons to act with honesty, good faith and fair dealing in working with clients. In addition, the Code prohibits associated persons from trading or otherwise acting on insider information.

Read the rest of Item 11 (727 more words)

Next, the Code sets forth guidelines for professional standards for Hale’s associated persons (managers, officers and employees). Under the Code’s Professional Standards, Hale expects its associated persons to put the interests of Hale clients first, ahead of personal interests. In this regard, Hale-associated persons are not to take inappropriate advantage of their positions in relation to Hale clients. Third, the Code sets forth policies and procedures to monitor and review the personal trading activities of associated persons. From time to time, Hale’s associated persons may invest in the same securities recommended to clients. This may create a conflict of interest because associated persons of Hale may invest in securities ahead of or to the exclusion of Hale clients. Under its Code, Hale has adopted procedures designed to reduce or eliminate conflicts of interest that this could potentially cause. The Code’s personal trading policies include procedures for limitations on personal securities transactions of associated persons, including generally disallowing trading by an associated person in any security within one day before any client account trades or considers trading the same security and the creation of a restricted securities list, reporting and review of personal trading activities and pre-clearance of certain types of personal trading activities. These policies are designed to discourage and prohibit personal trading that would disadvantage clients. The Code also includes provisions requiring associated persons to report any violations of the Code and provides for disciplinary action as appropriate for violations. Participation or Interest in Client Transactions As outlined above, Hale has adopted procedures to protect client interests when its associated persons invest in the same securities as those selected for or recommended to clients. In the event of any identified potential trading conflicts of interest, Hale’s goal is to place client interests first. As described above, Hale Government Building Fund, L.P. has invested in certain preferred equity and in the mezzanine debt of HC Government Realty Holdings, L.P., a subsidiary of HC Government Realty Trust, Inc. Steven A. Hale II, the sole principal owner of Hale, is the Chairman, Chief Executive Officer and President of HC Government Realty Trust, Inc. and owns shares of common stock of HC Government Realty Trust, Inc. and units of limited partnership interest in HC Government Realty

Holdings, L.P. In the event Hale Government Building Fund, L.P.’s interests are not aligned with the personal interests of Mr. Hale in HC Government Realty Trust, Inc. and HC Government Realty Holdings, L.P., Mr. Hale will resolve such conflict in favor of Hale Government Building Fund, L.P. Additionally, certain of the Funds have invested in HG Holdings, Inc. (“HG Holdings”), a public reporting company which primarily engages in the business of issuing title insurance and providing title agency services through its subsidiaries and also engages in management advisory services and other investment activity, including in rental real estate through equity investments in HC Government Realty Trust, Inc. Mr. Hale serves as the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of HG Holdings and owns shares of common stock of HG Holdings, and as stated above also serves as the Chairman, Chief Executive Officer and President of HC Government Realty Trust, Inc. and owns shares of common stock of HC Government Realty Trust, Inc. In the event the Funds’ interests are not aligned with the personal interests of Mr. Hale in HG Holdings, Mr. Hale will resolve such conflict in favor of the Funds. Furthermore, Hale Partnership Fund L.P. is the owner of units of limited partnership interest of Hale Medical Office Building Fund, L.P. Mr. Hale is the sole principal owner of Hale and the sole principal owner of the General Partner of both Hale Partnership Fund L.P. and Hale Medical Office Building Fund, L.P. In the event Hale Partnership Fund L.P.’s interests are not aligned with the personal interests of Mr. Hale, Mr. Hale will resolve such conflict in favor of Hale Partnership Fund L.P. Consistent with the foregoing, Hale maintains policies regarding participation in initial public offerings (“IPOs”) and private placements in order to comply with applicable laws and avoid conflicts with client transactions. If associated persons trade with client accounts (e.g., in a bundled or aggregated trade), and the trade is not filled in its entirety, the associated person’s shares will be removed from the block, and the balance of shares will be allocated among client accounts in accordance with Hale’s written policy.

Item 12. Brokerage practices

When given discretion to select the brokerage firm that will execute orders in client accounts, Hale seeks “best execution”, which is a combination of a number of factors, including, without limitation, quality of execution, services provided and commission rates. Therefore, Hale may use or recommend the use of brokers who do not charge the lowest available commission in the recognition of research and securities transaction services, or quality of execution. Research services received with transactions may include proprietary or third-party research (or any combination), and may be used in servicing any or all of Hale’s clients. Therefore, research services received may not be used for the account for which the particular transaction was effected.

Hale’s policy is to stay within the safe harbor of Section 28(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, which permits investment money managers to pay higher commissions on behalf of a client than otherwise are available to obtain brokerage and research services, if managers determine, in good faith, that the

brokerage rates charged by such broker are reasonable in light of the services provided. DIRECTED BROKERAGE: Hale does not allow directed brokerage accounts. TRADE AGGREGATION: Hale may enter trades as a block where possible and when advantageous to clients whose accounts have a need to buy or sell shares of the same security. This blocking of trades permits the trading of aggregate blocks of securities composed of assets from multiple client accounts (including the Funds), so long as transaction costs are shared equally and on a pro-rata basis between all accounts included in any such block. Block trading allows Hale to execute equity trades in a timelier, equitable manner, and may reduce overall costs to clients. Hale will only aggregate transactions when it believes that aggregation is consistent with its duty to seek best execution (which includes the duty to seek best price) for its clients, and is consistent with the terms of Hale’s investment advisory agreement with each client for which trades are being aggregated. No advisory client will be favored over any other client; each client that participates in an aggregated order will participate at the average share price for all Hale’s transactions in a given security on a given business day, with transaction costs generally shared pro-rata based on each client’s participation in the transaction. On occasion, owing to the size of a particular account’s pro rata share of an order or other factors, the commission or transaction fee charged could be above or below a breakpoint in a pre-determined commission or fee schedule set by the executing broker, and therefore transaction charges may vary slightly among accounts. Accounts may be excluded from a block due to tax considerations, client direction or other factors making the account’s participation ineligible or impractical. Hale will prepare, before entering an aggregated order, a written statement (“Allocation Statement”) specifying the participating client accounts and how it intends to allocate the order among those clients. If the aggregated order is filled in its entirety, it will be allocated among clients in accordance with the Allocation Statement. If the order is partially filled, it will generally be allocated pro-rata, based on the Allocation Statement, or randomly in certain circumstances. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the order may be allocated on a basis different from that specified in the Allocation Statement if all client accounts receive fair and equitable treatment over time, and the reason for different allocation is explained in writing and is approved by an appropriate individual/officer of Hale. Hale’s books and records will separately reflect, for each client account included in a block trade, the securities held by and bought and sold for that account. Funds and securities of clients whose orders are aggregated will be deposited with one or more banks or broker-dealers, and neither the clients’ cash nor their securities will be held collectively any longer than is necessary to settle the transaction on a delivery versus payment basis; cash or securities held collectively for clients will be delivered out to the custodian bank or broker-dealer as soon as practicable following the settlement, and Hale will receive no additional compensation or remuneration of any kind as a result of the proposed aggregation.

Hale will generally not engage in cross trading or principal trades with respect to the assets of Institutional Investors without the prior written consent of such investor.

Item 13. Review of accounts

Fund Reviews The General Partner will cause Fund accounts to be reviewed not less than quarterly by either Mr. Hale, the sole principal owner of Hale, or by Jacqlyn Piscetelli, the chief financial officer of Hale. These reviews will include the appropriateness of the Fund’s investments for the Fund’s portfolio and the performance of the Fund. Investors in the Funds generally receive, among other things, a copy of financial statements of the relevant Fund after the fiscal year end of the Fund. In addition, investors in the Funds receive regular reporting updates through letters and investor meetings.

Institutional Investor Reviews All portfolios for Institutional Investors are monitored by the principals of Hale on a regular basis for performance, outlook and suitability based on investor objectives. Account reviews with Institutional Investors may be quarterly, annually or ad hoc, as requested by the Institutional Investor. Institutional Investors generally receive a review of their current investment holdings, realized and unrealized gains and losses, investment income and investment performance on a monthly basis from the respective Fund’s administrator. Account custodians are responsible for providing monthly or quarterly account statements which reflect the positions (and current pricing) in each account as well as transactions in each account, including fees paid from an account. Account custodians also provide prompt confirmation of all trading activity, and year-end tax statements, such as 1099 forms. Hale will provide additional written reports as needed or requested by Institutional Investors. Institutional Investors should carefully compare the statements that they receive from Hale against the statements that they receive from their account custodian(s).

Item 14. Client referrals and other compensation

Hale may use the services of unaffiliated solicitors to serve as placement agents for the Funds. Under those circumstances, Hale may pay compensation to the solicitor; however, those arrangements will be effected in accordance with Rule 206(4)-3 under the Advisers Act and the investor will not pay a higher fee as a result of any solicitation or referral.

Item 15. Custody

Fund Custody Hale (through the General Partner) is deemed to have custody of certain assets of the Funds.

Interactive Brokers LLC, Computershare Limited, Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, and Equity Trust Company each serve as a qualified custodian for one or more of the Funds. All of the Funds’ investment securities are currently held by one or more of the qualified custodians on behalf of the Funds. Only Hale Partnership Fund, L.P. and Hale ICFG Fund, L.P. are currently audited annually, and the annual audited financial statements of each Fund are sent to the respective Fund’s investors. The audit is conducted in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.

Hale received an unqualified opinion from the independent public accountant with respect to each Fund’s 2024 financial statements and expects that it will receive an unqualified opinion from the independent public accountant with respect to each Fund’s 2025 financial statements as sufficient audit evidence will be available. Hale engaged an independent public accountant to conduct a surprise examination of the assets of all of its Funds in 2023, including Hale Partnership Fund, L.P. and Hale ICFG Fund, L.P. Hale received an unqualified opinion with respect to the 2023 surprise examination. Hale engaged an independent public accountant to conduct a surprise examination of the assets of all of its Funds in 2024, including Hale Partnership Fund, L.P. and Hale ICFG Fund, L.P., and reasonably believed that such independent public accountant would complete its examination and submit Form ADV-E to file its certificate of accounting by the 120-day deadline; however, due to certain logistical issues, the 2024 surprise examination and a 2025 surprise examination was not completed. Hale has since taken corrective action, including engaging a new independent public accountant to conduct a surprise examination of the assets of all of its Funds in 2026 and implementing enhanced internal controls and compliance procedures to ensure timely completion of future surprise examinations. Additionally, the qualified custodian for the Funds sends quarterly account statements directly to the Funds or investors in the Funds. Institutional Investor Custody The Bank of New York Mellon, Goldman Sachs & Co. LLC, Wells Fargo Bank, Truist Financial Corporation, Morgan Stanley & Co., The Huntington National Bank, HSBC Bank USA, ServisFirst Bancshares, Inc., and The Bank of Nova Scotia serve as custodians for the Institutional Investor accounts. From time to time, however, an Institutional Investor may select an alternate broker to hold accounts in custody. In any case, it is the custodian’s responsibility to provide the Institutional Investor with confirmation of trading activity, tax forms and at least quarterly account statements. Institutional Investors are advised to review this information carefully, and to notify Hale of any questions or concerns. Institutional Investors are also asked to promptly notify Hale if the custodian fails to provide statements on each account held. From time to time and in accordance with Hale’s investment advisory agreement with Institutional Investors, Hale will provide additional reports. As mentioned above, the account balances reflected on these reports should be compared to the balances

shown on the brokerage statements to ensure accuracy. At times there may be small differences due to the timing of dividend reporting, pending trades or other similar issues. Hale may be deemed to have “soft” custody of its Institutional Investor accounts because Hale’s portfolio management fees are normally debited directly from the account(s), unless other arrangements are made.

Item 16. Investment discretion

Hale has discretionary authority to determine the investments to be bought or sold and the amounts to invest for the Funds, pursuant to the investment advisory agreement and/or management agreement between the General Partner and Hale. Hale has such discretionary authority to invest for each Institutional Investor pursuant to an investment advisory agreement between the client and Hale.

Item 17. Voting client securities

Hale has adopted a proxy voting policy whereby Hale will use its best efforts to vote proxies on behalf of the Funds and Institutional Investors. Clients have no authority to direct the vote of Hale. Should a conflict of interest arise in voting securities, Hale will attempt to resolve the conflict with the view of the best interest of its clients. Clients may obtain a copy of Hale’s complete proxy voting policies and procedures upon request. Clients may also obtain information from Hale about how Hale voted any proxies on behalf of their account(s).

Item 18. Financial information

Hale does not require nor solicit prepayment of more than $1,200 in fees per client, six months or more in advance, but Hale (through the General Partner) is deemed to have custody of certain assets of the Funds. Hale has no financial condition that is reasonably likely to impair its ability to meet its contractual commitments to its clients and has not been the subject of a bankruptcy petition at any time during the past ten years.
