A. General Description of Advisory Firm
Farallon Europe, a limited liability partnership organized under the laws of England and Wales,
is an investment adviser that was founded in 2004 by Farallon Capital International Limited, a
limited company organized under the laws of England and Wales; Andrew Spokes, the
Managing Partner and Senior Managing Member of Farallon Capital Management, L.L.C., a
Delaware limited liability company (“FCM LLC”); and Nicolas Giauque, a Managing Member
of FCM LLC. Farallon Europe’s principal owner is Wissam Charbel. Please see FCM LLC’s
Form ADV for more information about FCM LLC.
Farallon Europe, together with certain other parties listed elsewhere in this Form ADV Part
2A, has entered into an agreement (the “Sub-Adviser Agreement”) with FCM LLC and
Farallon Partners, L.L.C., a Delaware limited liability company (“FP LLC”) together with
FCM LLC, “Farallon”) pursuant to which Farallon Europe and such other parties have been
delegated discretionary authority to make and manage investments on behalf of the Farallon
Funds (as defined below).
Farallon Europe’s authority pursuant to the Sub-Adviser Agreement extends over a significant
portion of the Farallon Funds’ assets under management. Farallon Europe has responsibility
for the day-to-day investment decisions and operations relating to its subadvisory portfolio.
Neither FCM LLC nor FP LLC control Farallon Europe. In carrying out its investment
activities on behalf of the Farallon Funds, however, Farallon Europe is subject to the authority
and supervision of Farallon and implements the investment guidelines and restrictions set by
Farallon from time to time.

Farallon Europe, Farallon Capital Asia Pte. Ltd., a Singapore company (“Farallon Asia”),
Farallon Capital Asia (HK) Limited, a Hong Kong company (“Farallon Hong Kong”), Farallon
Capital Japan LLC, a Japanese limited liability company (“Farallon Japan”) and Farallon Latin
America Investimentos Ltda., a Brazilian sociedade limitada (“Farallon Latin America”), serve
as exclusive subadvisers to Farallon. Farallon Europe, collectively with Farallon Asia, Farallon
Hong Kong, Farallon Japan and Farallon Latin America are referred to as the “Farallon
Advisers.” All of the Farallon Advisers currently provide services exclusively for Farallon.
Farallon Europe has broad and flexible investment parameters, and seeks global investment
opportunities pursuant to a wide variety of investment strategies, including, without limitation,
certain core strategies such as credit investing, direct investments, long/short equity investing,
merger arbitrage, risk arbitrage and real estate, as more fully set forth below in Item 8.
Farallon Europe will emphasize or de-emphasize, add, develop or eliminate different
investments and investment strategies and techniques from time to time, depending on, among
other things, the perceived opportunities and relative risk-adjusted expected returns. Farallon
Europe’s execution is flexible to allow capital to shift among strategies, asset classes, and
geographies based on prevailing opportunities. Investments are made in U.S. and non-U.S.
securities and markets, including emerging markets such as China, Southeast Asia, India,
Eastern Europe, Africa and Latin America. Farallon Funds’ investment portfolios, as
applicable to their investment strategies, consist of a broad range of publicly traded and
privately purchased securities, instruments and obligations.
This Brochure generally includes information about Farallon Europe and its relationships with
the Farallon Funds. While much of this Brochure applies to all such Farallon Funds, certain
information included herein applies only to specific Farallon Funds.
C. Availability of Customized Services
While the Farallon Funds generally have similar and overlapping investment strategies and
investment parameters, Farallon Europe’s advice with respect to the Farallon Funds is subject
to their investment programs, which differ due to, among other reasons, various investment
restrictions and types of investors. The Farallon Funds include, for example, funds that are
designed specifically for U.S. taxable investors, which utilize margin borrowings and other
forms of leverage; funds that are designed specifically for U.S. tax-exempt entities (and certain
of those funds generally do not borrow on margin); non-U.S. funds that do not participate in
certain U.S. investments; funds that do not make Special Investments (as defined below); funds
that primarily invest in Special Investments; multi-strategy funds that may make investments
subject to certain environmental, social and/or governance investment screens; funds with
certain currency hedging overlays; strategy-specific funds; funds and managed accounts
focused on overflow and/or co-investment opportunities; and funds that are a hybrid or a sub-
set of the foregoing. Additional funds that pursue specialized, or different, investment
programs may be formed in the future. Farallon may enter into agreements, such as side
letters, with certain investors in the Farallon Funds that may provide rights or benefits in favor
of such investors that are more favorable than the rights or benefits provided to other investors
in such Farallon Funds. The investment mandate and guidelines or restrictions for each
Farallon Fund are set forth in its constituent documents. References to “constituent
documents” in this Form ADV Part 2A include any offering documents for a Farallon Fund
and any investment management agreement with respect to a Farallon Fund that is a managed
account. Persons reviewing this Form ADV Part 2A should not construe this as an offering of
any of the Farallon Funds described herein. Such offering will only be made pursuant to the
delivery to prospective investors of a private placement memorandum and/or subscription
agreement, which will describe certain risk factors, conflicts of interest, investment objectives
and other important features of a particular Farallon Fund.
