Our national client base consists of foundations and endowments, defined benefit plans, defined contribution plans, insurance portfolios and non-profit healthcare operating entities. PRINCIPAL OWNER Effective August 1, 2019, Highland became a subsidiary of Regions Bank, which is a wholly owned subsidiary of Regions Financial Corporation.

COLLECTIVE INVESTMENT TRUST Highland provides investment advisory services to the Cahaba Partners Collective Investment Trust (the “Cahaba Partners CIT”), for which Global Trust Company (“GTC”), a trust company organized under the laws of Maine, acts as trustee. Highland manages the

assets of each fund established by GTC (each a “Cahaba Partners CIT Fund”). Highland is responsible for constructing and monitoring the asset allocation and portfolio strategies for each Cahaba Partners CIT Fund, consistent with each Cahaba Partners CIT Fund’s investment objective, strategy, and risks. Highland believes that it is possible to enhance shareholder value by using one or more sub-advisory firms to manage the assets of each Cahaba Partners CIT Fund. Therefore, Highland manages each Cahaba Partners CIT Fund using a “manager of managers” approach by selecting one or more sub-advisers to manage each Cahaba Partners CIT Fund, based upon Highland’s evaluation of the sub-adviser’s expertise and performance in managing the asset class in which such Cahaba Partners CIT Fund will invest. Each client desiring to invest in a Cahaba Partners CIT Fund will be provided offering documents related to the Cahaba Partners CIT, which will typically include a confidential private offering memorandum, a participation agreement, and a copy of the Cahaba Partners CIT’s Declaration of Trust (collectively, the “CIT Offering Documents”). Highland does not have authority to invest eligible plan assets into one or more of the Cahaba Partners CIT Funds on a discretionary basis. In order to invest, the eligible plan’s fiduciary must make the decision to invest in the Cahaba Partners CIT Fund. The eligible plan’s fiduciary must make this decision on an independent basis, without using Highland as the primary source for making such decisions. LLC FUND In addition to the above, Highland provides investment advisory services to the Cahaba Partners Investment Fund LLC, a Delaware series limited liability company (the “Cahaba Partners LLC Fund”) consisting of separate and distinct investment funds (each a “Cahaba Partners LLC Series”). GTC serves as the manager of the Cahaba Partners LLC Fund. Highland has discretionary investment authority over each Cahaba Partners LLC Series’ assets and is primarily responsible for the investment selection and positioning of each Cahaba Partners LLC Series. Highland utilizes sub-advisers to manage the assets of each Cahaba Partners LLC Series. Cahaba Partners LLC Series assets allocated to a sub-adviser will be either invested directly in securities and other assets consistent with the Cahaba Partners LLC Series’ investment objectives and guidelines or in an investment pool managed by the sub-adviser that invests directly in securities and other assets consistent with the Cahaba Partners LLC Series’ investment objectives and guidelines. Each client desiring to invest in a Cahaba Partners LLC Series will be provided offering documents related to such Cahaba Partners LLC Series, which will typically include a confidential private placement memorandum, an investor questionnaire, a subscription agreement, and a copy of the limited liability company agreement of the Cahaba Partners LLC Fund (collectively, the “Fund Offering Documents”). Highland does not have authority to invest client assets into one or more of the Cahaba Partners LLC Series on a discretionary basis. In order to invest, the client must make the decision to invest in the Cahaba Partners LLC Series and how much of the client’s assets to invest. The client must make those decisions on an independent basis, without using Highland as the primary source for making such decisions. ASSET MANAGEMENT As of December 31, 2023, Highland managed $14,263,129,378 of client assets on a discretionary basis and $9,311,587,458 of client assets on a non-discretionary basis. Assets managed on a discretionary basis and assets managed on a non-discretionary basis are included in computing “regulatory assets under management” required for Item 5F in Part 1A of Highland’s Form ADV. With respect to assets managed on a non-discretionary basis, these assets are included in computing “assets under management” because Highland has continuing or regular supervisory or management responsibility.
