The Adviser is an investment adviser with its principal place of business in New York, New York.
The Adviser commenced operations as an investment adviser in April 2002 and has been registered
with the SEC since August 21, 2009. Two Sigma Management, LLC is the general partner of the
Adviser. Trusts established by John A. Overdeck and David M. Siegel are the principal owners of

The Adviser provides advisory services on a discretionary basis to its clients, which include
various private investment funds, consisting of both commingled vehicles (including employees’
securities companies) and funds of one, as discussed in Item 7 of this brochure. Such private
investment funds to which the Adviser provides advisory services are referred to herein
collectively as “Clients” and each, as a “Client.” The Adviser and its affiliates are referred to

The Adviser specializes in process-driven, systematic investment management, generally by
performing quantitative analysis to build mathematical strategies that rely on patterns inferred
from historical prices and other data in evaluating prospective investments. These strategies are
implemented by employing various risk management, investment, optimization and execution
techniques (collectively, the “Techniques”). In addition to systematic strategies and Techniques,
the Adviser utilizes certain non-systematic and/or discretionary strategies and Techniques often
based, at least in part, on quantitative analysis. In certain cases, the Adviser expects to rely
primarily or solely on human discretion, including for the purpose of pursuing what are viewed by
its investment professionals as opportunistic trade ideas or discretionary strategies.
The Adviser uses these strategies and Techniques to provide advisory services with respect to a
broad range of securities and financial instruments, which include or may include, without
limitation, U.S. and non-U.S. equity and equity-related securities, bonds and other fixed income
securities (including, without limitation, corporate, convertible, agency,
non-U.S. and U.S.

alike swaps and real estate swaps), convertible instruments, inflation protection instruments,

which exist now or are hereafter created (collectively, “Instruments”).

each Client’s offering memorandum, investment management agreement and/or governing
