(“Watermark”) is a Delaware corporation that, together with its predecessors, has provided investment and trading advisory services since 1988. Watermark is managed by its board of directors (the “Watermark Board of Directors”). Andrew Okun, Dougin Walker, William Nicolls, John Niforatos and David Rowntree (the “Principals”) have been elected as directors of the Watermark Board of Directors. B. Description of Advisory Services Currently, Watermark provides investment and trading advisory services to Parsec Trading Corp. (the “Master Fund”) and its Feeder Funds (as hereinafter defined). All investment advisory services provided by Watermark are provided on a discretionary basis. i. The Master Fund The Master Fund is a British Virgin Islands (“BVI”) company and was organized on July 25, 1990 and commenced operations on August 23, 1990. The Master Fund is exempted from registration under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Investment Company Act”) in reliance on Section 3(c)(7) thereof. The board of directors of the Master Fund has appointed Watermark, pursuant to an investment management agreement, dated as of January 1, 2024, to perform various investment management services, as well as administrative, back-office, trade execution and operational services for the Master Fund, consistent with the investment objective, approach and restrictions described in the investment management agreement. ii. The Feeder Funds The Master Fund has two feeder funds: Parsec Institutional Fund, Ltd. and Parsec Onshore Partners, L.P. (collectively, the “Feeder Funds”). Parsec Institutional Fund (“PIF”) PIF is a BVI company. It was organized on March 11, 2016 and commenced operations on April 30, 2016. PIF invests all of its assets (other than amounts held pending investment or distribution) in the Master Fund and is exempted from registration under the Investment Company Act in reliance on Section 3(c)(7) thereof. Shares of PIF are offered on a private placement basis to persons who are not “U.S. persons,” as defined in Regulation S of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and to U.S. tax-exempt investors that are (i) “accredited investors,” as defined in Regulation D under the Securities Act, (ii) “qualified purchasers,” as defined under the Investment Company Act, and (iii) “qualified eligible persons,” as defined under CFTC Rule 4.7. PIF offers two classes of shares. Class I shares and class II shares are denominated in U.S. dollars and Japanese yen. The U.S. dollar denominated class I and class II shares are offered with voting rights and the Japanese yen denominated class I shares and class II shares are offered with and without voting rights. The class I shares and class II shares differ in their subscription and redemption terms. The minimum investment amount for each of class I shares and class II shares is $5,000,000 (or the Japanese yen equivalent thereof). The board of directors of PIF, in its sole discretion, may accept subscriptions of lesser amounts
or establish different minimums. An investment in PIF is also subject to certain other conditions, which are set forth in PIF’s confidential private placement memorandum, dated January 2024. The board of directors of PIF has appointed Watermark, pursuant to an investment management agreement, dated as of January 1, 2024, to perform various investment management services, as well as administrative, back-office and operational services for PIF.
