Black Impact Non OZ Fund 1, LP, a non-Opportunity Zone fund (“Non OZ Fund”; collectively with the OZ Fund, the “Black Impact Funds”); and 3. Sola Community Revitalization and Affordability Fund, L.P. (“CRA Fund”). The general partner to the OZ Fund and the Non OZ Fund is Black Impact GP, LLC (“BIGP”).

The Funds receive capital commitments from investors during a fundraising stage and then are generally closed to new investors. From time to time thereafter, as applicable, the General 1 An Opportunity Zone is an economically-distressed community where private investments, under certain conditions, may be eligible for capital gain tax incentives. Opportunity Zones were created under the 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (“TCJA”), to stimulate economic development and job creation, by incentivizing long-term investments in low-income neighborhoods. Opportunity Zone Census Tracts are identified in the TCJA. Partners will notify one or the other of the Funds’ limited partners (each a “Limited Partner”) to make capital contributions, in proportion to their respective commitments, to enable the Fund to make investments and pay Fund expenses. Prior to each capital call, the investment will typically have been identified and vetted by Sola Impact Group. In providing investment management services to the Funds, Sola Impact Group focuses on a double bottom line objective of seeking financial returns and to make a beneficial social impact by acquiring, rehabilitating, developing, operating, holding for investment, and, as appropriate, disposing of multifamily apartment buildings, mixed-use spaces, improved and unimproved land, ground-up development projects, repositioned and repurposed commercial and office spaces, condominium projects, and
similar properties (each a “Property”, collectively, the “Properties”), located in or, in the case of the Non OZ Fund and the CRA Fund, near2 Opportunity Zones in cities in the western United States with large minority populations, including those potentially experiencing demographic and economic transition. The objectives of the Funds are multifold, but are anchored by the perspective that the revitalization of urban Black and brown communities requires an intentional focus on the following four pillars: 1. Access to Affordable Housing. The preservation and development of affordable multifamily housing for minority communities in major urban markets in a primary objective of the Funds. 2. Access to Education. Learning to utilize technology and education in the technology field is important; closing the “digital divide” is key to addressing racial inequality. 3. Access to Ownership. The Funds will seek to provide pathways for increased homeownership for communities of color. 4. Access to Capital. A key priority of the Funds is to partner with regional developers to enable greater access to capital, support minority-owned small businesses, and create local jobs in communities where the Funds invest. Properties will be acquired through one or more limited liability companies or limited partnerships (each a “Project Entity”) in some cases formed by the applicable Fund and its General Partner, and managed by Sola Impact Group, and in other cases where the Fund is participating in the joint venture opportunity with a third-party developer, an entity which may be formed and managed by either the Fund or the third-party developer. The activities of the Funds, including the ownership, redevelopment, leasing, operation and the fulfilling of other Fund objectives related to the Properties are intended to be conducted primarily through the Project Entities. 2 While neither the Non OZ Fund nor the CRA Fund will provide the TCJA tax benefits of investing in Opportunity Zones, they seek to benefit from an increase in value in properties adjacent to Opportunities Zones as a result of the passage of the TCJA and from improvements in properties completed by Opportunity Zone investment funds. The investment period (the “Investment Period”) for each Fund will commence on the initial closing and terminate on the earlier of (i) a determination by the Fund’s General Partner that the Fund will not purchase any additional Properties for its portfolio or (ii) the three-year anniversary of the Initial Closing, subject to the General Partner’s right to extend for one additional year. The Funds are not required to register under the Investment Company Act of 1940, or to register their securities under the Securities Act of 1933, in reliance upon certain exemptions available to issuers whose securities are not publicly offered.
