Z2 primarily focuses on investments within private or public credit, distressed, special situation or private

Z2 provides portfolio management and investment advisory services to private pooled investment vehicles
or other investment vehicles (“Funds” or “Clients”). Each Fund relies upon an exemption from registration
under Section 3(c)(7), exclusively for qualified purchasers (but
reserves the right to rely on one or more other
applicable exemptions as permitted by law).
Z2’s investment advisory services include identifying and evaluating investment opportunities, negotiating
the terms of investments, managing and monitoring investments and selling portfolio investments. Z2
manages each of its Funds within the guidelines and restrictions set forth, as applicable, in each Fund’s private
placement memorandum, limited partnership agreement (or limited liability company or other applicable
governing agreement), subscription agreements, advisory agreements, side letter agreements and other
governing documents of the relevant Fund (collectively, as amended, “Governing Documents”) and within
regulatory guidelines and limitations. See Item 8 for additional information regarding the Firm’s investment
strategies and risks.
Each of the Funds are controlled by a general partner or managing member or similar governing entity as
provided in the Governing Documents (“General Partner”). Each Fund’s General Partner has appointed Z2 (or
an affiliate thereof) to serve as the Fund’s investment manager, pursuant to a written agreement. The
General Partner in its discretion may offer co-investment opportunities to one or more Funds or their
affiliates, and to other funds, private investors, groups, entities, or individuals. Co-investors will be
determined by the General Partner in its sole discretion, and co-investment opportunities will be offered on
a deal-by-deal basis.
