Overview

Sound Point CLO C-MOA, LLC (“C-MOA”) is a Delaware series limited liability company founded in December 2017. C-MOA provides collateral management services to securitized asset pools (otherwise known as collateralized loan obligations or “CLOs”). C-MOA also intends to manage a proprietary account (“Proprietary Account”) to meet the requirements of the European and UK risk retention rules and securitization regulation. The members of C-MOA are (i) Sound Point Euro CLO Management, LP, a Cayman Islands limited partnership, (ii) Sound Point Euro 2 CLO Management, LP, a Cayman Islands limited partnership and (iii) Sound Point Capital Management, LP, a Delaware limited partnership (“Sound Point”). The general partner of Sound Point Euro CLO Management, LP and Sound Point Euro 2 CLO Management, LP is Sound Point CLO Management, GP LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, which, in turn, is wholly owned by Sound Point. Sound Point is an SEC-registered investment adviser that controls C-MOA. In order to meet the requirements of European and UK risk retention and securitization regulation, Sound Point may provide C- MOA with the capital necessary for C-MOA to remunerate its expenses. Sound Point is a privately-owned asset management firm with investment strategies that concentrate on performing credit and collateralized loan obligations, opportunistic credit, structured credit, specialty finance and marketplace lending, and commercial real estate credit, utilizing a fundamental and research- intensive approach to investing. Sound Point is a Delaware limited partnership founded in 2008 by Stephen Ketchum, its Managing Partner and CIO. Mr. Ketchum owns Sound Point along with principals of Stone Point Capital LLC, a private equity firm (“Stone Point”), and Blue Owl GP Stakes II (A) LP, a third-party permanent capital fund that is managed by Blue Owl GPSC Advisors LLC, an investment adviser principally owned, through certain intermediary vehicles, by Blue Owl Capital Inc. (“Blue Owl”), and Assured Guaranty U.S. Holdings Inc., a Delaware corporation (“AGUS”) and a wholly owned subsidiary of publicly traded Assured Guaranty Ltd. (NYSE: AGO), a limited company organized under the laws of Bermuda. Stone Point, Blue Owl and AGUS each holds minority equity interests in Sound Point. Minority Equity Ownership and Sound Point Board of Managers Stephen Ketchum is a principal owner of Sound Point, indirectly through SPC Consolidator LLC, a Delaware limited liability company. Sound Point’s general partner is SPC Partners GP, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company that is controlled by Stephen Ketchum. Certain other limited partners of Sound Point have contributed, or have the right to receive, 5% or more of Sound Point’s capital upon its dissolution, and these limited partners are Blue Owl GP Stakes II (A) LP, AGUS and two senior principals of Stone Point. Three additional senior principals of Stone Point are also limited partners of Sound Point, but each holds minority equity ownership below the 5% threshold. James Carey, one of Stone Point’s senior principals, and Dominic Frederico, CEO of Assured Guaranty Ltd., serve with Stephen Ketchum on Sound Point’s Board of Managers and consequently have certain rights of approval over the actions of Sound Point which may indirectly impact Client Accounts; however, neither Mr. Carey nor Mr. Frederico are members of any committee that makes investment decisions for any funds or accounts managed by C-MOA. Sound Point and the C-MOA operate independently of Stone Point and Assured Guaranty Ltd. Blue Owl GP Stakes II (A) LP, Blue Owl GP Stakes II (B) LP (together, the “Blue Owl Funds”) and AGUS hold minority equity interests in Sound Point and Sound Point GP Parent, LLC, respectively. Although, as noted above, a senior principal of Stone Point and the CEO of Assured Guaranty Ltd. serve on Sound Point’s Board of Managers, none of Stone Point, Blue Owl, the Blue Owl Funds, AGUS or any of their respective affiliates is involved in the day-to-day management of Sound Point or, consequently, of C-MOA, nor does any such party have any control over the investment decisions of any CLOs. Advisory Services The primary investment objectives of the CLOs are set out in their offering memoranda and/or other materials provided to investors and prospective investors therein.
