On behalf of certain Clients, Muddy Waters’ focuses on both long and short-activist single-name securities (with a short bias). On behalf of other Clients, Muddy Waters’ focuses on a particular sector (i.e., the natural resource sector) or a particular region (i.e., Asia, specifically Vietnam). Unless otherwise specified in the Client’s documentation, there are no limits imposed on the types of securities or other instruments in which the Clients may invest, the types of positions it may take, the concentration of its investments by sector, industry, country, company, class or otherwise, the amount of leverage it may employ or the number or nature of short positions it may take. In addition, Muddy Waters has, and may in the future offer co-investment opportunities alongside the Clients to third parties.

Muddy Waters has entered (and may in the future enter) into agreements with investors whereby such investors are subject to terms and conditions that are more advantageous than those set forth in a Fund’s Offering Documents. For example, such terms and conditions provide, including, without limitation, for special rights to make future investments in a Fund and other investment vehicles; “most favored nation” provisions; special redemption rights, relating to frequency or notice; a reduction or rebate in management fees or incentive allocations to be paid by the investors and/or other terms; rights to receive reports from the Fund on a more frequent basis or that include information not provided to other investors (including, without limitation, more detailed information regarding portfolio positions); transfer rights between and among an investor’s affiliates; notice rights upon the occurrence of various events and such other rights as may be negotiated by the Muddy Waters, a Fund and an investor.
