Each General Partner listed above is subject to the Advisers Act pursuant to Silver Oak

business practices of each General Partner, which operate as a single advisory business together

Each General Partner serves as general partner to one or more Funds (as defined below)
and has the authority to make investment decisions on behalf of the respective Fund(s) it advises.
Silver Oak provides discretionary investment advisory services to its clients, which consist
of investment funds privately offered to qualified investors in the United States and elsewhere.
Silver Oak’s clients include the following (each, a “Fund,” and collectively together with any

• Silver Oak Services Partners II, L.P. (“Fund II”)

The Funds are private equity funds and generally invest through negotiated transactions in
operating entities, generally referred to herein as “portfolio companies.” Silver Oak’s investment
advisory services to the Funds consist of identifying and evaluating investment opportunities,
negotiating the terms of investments, managing and monitoring investments and ultimately selling
such investments. Investments are made predominantly in non-public companies, although
investments in public companies are permitted in certain instances. Where such investments
consist of portfolio companies, the senior principals or other personnel of Silver Oak often will
serve on such portfolio companies’ respective boards of directors or otherwise act to influence
control over management of portfolio companies in which the Funds have invested.
Silver Oak’s advisory services for each Fund are detailed in the applicable offering
memorandum or other offering documents
(each, a “Memorandum”) and limited partnership or
other operating agreements of the Funds or governing documents (each, a “Limited Partnership
Agreement,” and together with the Memorandum, the “Governing Documents”) and are further
described below under “Methods of Analysis, Investment Strategies and Risk of Loss.” Investors
in the Funds (generally referred to herein as “investors” or “limited partners”) participate in the
overall investment program for the applicable Fund, but may be excused from a particular
investment due to legal, regulatory or other agreed upon circumstances pursuant to the Governing
Documents; for the avoidance of doubt, such arrangements generally do not and will not create an
adviser-client relationship between Silver Oak and any investor. The Funds or Silver Oak have
entered into “side letter” or similar agreements with certain investors that have the effect of
establishing rights (including economic or other terms) under, or altering or supplementing the
terms of a Fund’s Governing Documents with respect to such investors (each, a “Side Letter”).
Additionally, as permitted by the relevant Governing Documents, Silver Oak expects to
provide (or agree to provide) investment or co-investment opportunities to certain current or
prospective investors or other persons, including other sponsors, market participants, finders,
consultants and other service providers, portfolio company management or personnel, Silver Oak
personnel and/or certain other persons associated with Silver Oak and/or its affiliates, the
opportunity to co-invest in certain portfolio companies alongside a Fund. Co-investors typically
invest and dispose of their investments in the applicable portfolio company at the same time and
on the same terms as the Fund making the investment. However, for strategic and other reasons,
co-investors will purchase a portion of an investment from one or more Funds after such Funds
have consummated their investment in the portfolio company (also known as a post-closing sell
down or transfer), which generally will have been funded through Fund investor capital
contributions and/or use of a Fund credit facility. Any such purchase from a Fund by a co-investor
generally occurs shortly after the Fund’s completion of the investment to avoid any changes in
valuation of the investment, but in certain instances could be well after the Fund’ initial purchase.
Where appropriate, and in Silver Oak’s sole discretion, Silver Oak is authorized to charge interest
on the purchase to the co-investor (or otherwise equitably adjust the purchase price under certain
conditions), and to seek reimbursement to the relevant Fund for related costs. However, to the
extent any such amounts are not so charged or reimbursed (including charges or reimbursements
required pursuant to applicable law), they generally will be borne by the relevant Fund.
As of December 31, 2023, Silver Oak managed $1,301,426,644 in client assets on a
discretionary basis. Silver Oak Services Partners is principally owned by Daniel M. Gill and
Gregory M. Barr.
