Burren Capital Advisors Limited ("BCAL"), a limited company organized in Gibraltar, is a non U.S.
based investment adviser registered with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") and
wholly-owned by AMPM Ventures Limited.
BCAL serves as Alternative Investment Fund Manager ("AIFM") to the Burren
Global Master ICAV ("Master Fund") and Burren Global Feeder ICAV (the "Fund" or "Feeder Fund"),
collectively the Funds. The Feeder Fund and the Master Fund are umbrella Irish collective asset-
management vehicles with variable capital and with segregated liability between sub-funds,
incorporated in Ireland under the Irish Collective Asset-management Vehicles Act 2015 and authorized
by the Central Bank of Ireland as qualifying investor alternative investment funds.
The Burren Global Arbitrage Feeder Fund (the "Feeder Sub-Fund"), a sub-fund of the Feeder Fund is
organized as a feeder fund and all of the assets of the Feeder Sub-Fund (to the extent not retained in
cash) are invested in the Burren Global Arbitrage Master Fund (the "Master Sub-Fund"), a sub-fund of
the Master Fund. The investment objective of the Master Sub-Fund is to achieve positive, continuous
absolute returns, which are intended to be uncorrelated to the market even in severe market
conditions, through investing in global "event-driven" and "special situation" strategies. The reporting
currency for the Funds is US dollars.
Affiliates of BCAL serve as the general partner/managing member for the Fund. BCAL provides

Prospectuses and Sub-Funds' Supplements, which include specific operational details of the Funds
and Sub-Funds, including a detailed section on the management of the Funds and Sub-Funds.
BCAL does not generally tailor its advisory services to the individual needs of investors. The firm's
clients consist solely of the various Funds under management by the firm. Accordingly, BCAL does not
manage portfolios for investors that seek to impose restrictions on investing in certain securities which
BCAL believes may form part of its investing universe. The Funds have individual investment
guidelines and objectives, as detailed in the offering memorandum (Fund Prospectus). Once
subscribed to the Fund, an investor has no ability to restrict the types of investments that BCAL may
make.
The Master Fund has appointed Goldman Sachs International, and SMT Trustees (Ireland) Limited, as
the Prime Broker and Depositary (Custodian), respectively. The allocation of assets of the Master Fund
between the Prime Broker and Custodian are determined by the nature and type of transaction and in

financial instrument held in custody the Depositary shall return a financial instrument of identical type
or the corresponding amount to the relevant Sub-Fund or the AIFM acting on behalf of the Master
Fund without undue delay. The Depositary shall not be liable if it can prove that the loss has arisen as
a result of an external event beyond its reasonable control, the consequences of which would have
been unavoidable despite all reasonable efforts to the contrary.

As mentioned under "Prime Brokers" below, the Master Fund has appointed the Prime Broker to
provide certain prime brokerage services, pursuant to a prime brokerage agreement (the "Prime
Brokerage Agreement"). The Depositary has delegated the safe-keeping of Financial Instruments, to
the Prime Brokers to act as sub-custodian in accordance with the AIFMD.
Potential investors should note that pursuant to the terms of the sub-custody agreements with the

contractually of any liability for a loss of financial instruments.

discharge prior to their investment. Investors will be informed of any changes with respect to the
Depositary's liability.
In accordance with Article 21 of the AIFMD, the Prime Brokers have accepted the transfer and
the discharge of liability for the loss of Financial Instruments held in custody by the Prime
Broker from the Depositary.
