Chilton is a Delaware corporation that is majority owned by Birchwood Investment
Company, Inc. (“Birchwood”). Birchwood was previously named Chilton Investment
Company, Inc., but changed its name effective December 6, 2021 in order to allow for the
corporate reorganization contemplated herein (i.e., to establish a new Delaware
corporation with the name Chilton Investment Company, Inc.). Birchwood is a Delaware
corporation that was founded in July 1992 by Mr. Richard L. Chilton, Jr. and is controlled by
Mr. Chilton and various family trusts. Birchwood registered with the SEC as an investment
adviser in January 2004 and Chilton Investment Company, LLC assumed this registration in
June 2005. As part of a corporate reorganization effective as of 1 May 2022, Chilton has
assumed the investment advisory business and registration of its affiliate, Chilton
Investment Company, LLC. As there is no actual change in control or change in
management of the entity providing services with respect to all of its client accounts,
Chilton has not deemed this to have been an “assignment” under Section 202(a)(1) of the
US Investment Advisers Act of 1940. Chilton has assumed this successor registration,
effective 1 May 2022. All Chilton personnel previously associated with Chilton Investment
Company, LLC are now providing services through Chilton in connection with this
reorganization, which services are expected to be completely identical in nature. There
will be no change to the support or service of client accounts in connection with this
corporate reorganization. Chilton is a global investment management firm that aims to
produce superior investment returns by aggressively seeking capital appreciation in rising
markets and preserving capital in declining markets. Chilton takes a long-term perspective
and endeavors to maintain a focused, disciplined portfolio that consistently generates
profits for clients over time. Chilton has a wholly-owned operating subsidiary, namely,
Chilton Investment Company Limited in the United Kingdom, (“Chilton U.K.”). All of the
business revenues and net profits of Chilton U.K. are consolidated within Chilton. Chilton
U.K. is exempt from registration as a “participating affiliate” of Chilton as that term is used
in relief granted by the staff of the SEC allowing U.S. registered investment advisers to use
investment advisory resources of non-U.S. investment adviser affiliates subject to the
regulatory supervision of the U.S. registered investment adviser. Employees of Chilton U.K.
are subject to Chilton’s supervision and control and are treated as “persons associated
with” Chilton. Please see Item 10 for a more detailed discussion of Chilton U.K.
Chilton is affiliated with Chilton Investment Services, LLC, a Delaware limited liability
company (“Chilton Investment Services”) and Chilton Trust Company, National Association,
a national trust bank (“Chilton Trust”). Chilton Investment Services registered
with the SEC
as an investment adviser in October 2011 and provides investment advisory services to
private investment funds and managed accounts. Chilton Trust received its national trust
bank charter from the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (the “OCC”) in September
2020 and, together with Chilton Investment Services, provides wealth management
services to high net worth individuals and families.

Chilton also acts as an adviser or sub-adviser to funds that are registered under the
Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”) (the “Registered Funds”)

collective investment in transferable securities within the meaning of the European
