Charlesbank is a middle-market private capital investment management firm that focuses on (i) management-led buyouts and growth capital financings, (ii) opportunistic investments in the debt securities and other debt instruments of middle market companies and (iii) investments in lower middle market companies within the technology sector. Formed in 1998, Charlesbank provides investment advisory and management services to pooled investment vehicles within a middle market private equity strategy (the “Flagship Equity Funds”), within a lower middle market technology strategy (the “Technology Funds”, and together with the Flagship Equity Funds, the “Equity Funds”) and within a middle market opportunistic credit strategy (the “Credit Funds” and together with the Flagship Equity Funds and the Technology Funds, the “Charlesbank Funds”). Certain of the Charlesbank Funds include pooled investment vehicles to allow certain business associates, other “friends of the firm” including primarily senior management of current and former portfolio companies, or other persons (including any related entity established by any of the foregoing, such as trusts, family investment vehicles, charitable programs, endowments and related programs and other estate planning vehicles) to invest alongside the other vehicles of the Charlesbank Funds on substantially the same terms and conditions (each, an “Executives Entity”). Certain of the Charlesbank Funds include pooled investment vehicles for Charlesbank’s investment and operational staff (each, a “GP Entity”) and pooled investment vehicles for Charlesbank’s junior investment staff and junior operational staff (each, an “Associates Entity”), in each case formed to facilitate investment by Charlesbank staff in investments alongside certain of the Charlesbank Funds on a non-discretionary and programmatic, fixed basis. Charlesbank serves as the general partner to, or controls the general partner of, such GP Entities and Associates Entities. In addition to providing investment advisory services to the Charlesbank Funds, from time to time and as permitted by the relevant Governing Documents (as defined below), Charlesbank also expects to provide (or agrees to provide) certain other investors or other third parties the opportunity to invest directly or to participate in co-investment vehicles that will invest in certain portfolio companies alongside one or more of the Charlesbank Funds (the “Co-Investment Vehicles,” and where appropriate and where the context permits, together with the Charlesbank Funds, the “Funds”). Please see Item 11 below regarding co- investors and co-investments generally. Charlesbank receives compensation for management or other services performed in connection with certain co-investments made in portfolio companies of the Funds. The Funds are exempt from registration under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), and issue partnership interests that are not registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). As investment adviser to the Funds, Charlesbank participates in the structuring, management, monitoring and disposition of investments for each Fund. Focused primarily, but not exclusively, in the United States, Charlesbank

generally seeks investment opportunities in the middle market, with enterprise values averaging between $150 million and $3.0 billion for its Flagship Equity Funds; averaging between $50 million and $400 million for its Technology Funds; and averaging between $150 million and $3.0 billion for its Credit Funds. Charlesbank’s strategy emphasizes investing across a broad range of industries, transaction types, and levels of the capital structure, provided that the Flagship Equity Funds and the Technology Funds primarily invest in equity and the Credit Funds primarily invest in debt. Charlesbank provides investment advisory services to each Fund in accordance with separate investment and advisory agreements, as applicable (each, an “Advisory Agreement”), the applicable governing agreement of a Fund (such as a limited partnership agreement or analogous organizational document (each, an “Organizational Document”)) and/or side letter agreements or similar arrangements with limited partners of the Funds (“Side Letters,” and together with the Advisory Agreements and the Organizational Documents, the “Governing Documents”). Guidelines for investment are contained in each Fund’s applicable Governing Documents and applicable private placement memoranda, which are provided to the limited partners of each such Fund. Charlesbank tailors its services to the specific investment objectives and restrictions of each Fund pursuant to the applicable investment guidelines and restrictions, and subject to specific terms and conditions set forth in the Fund’s Governing Documents. Investors should refer to the Governing Documents and private placement memoranda of the applicable Fund for complete information on the investment objectives, restrictions, and guidelines of the particular Fund and the services Charlesbank provides to the Fund. Prior to making an investment in a Fund, the limited partners review the Governing Documents and applicable private placement memoranda for such Fund and in the case of the Charlesbank Funds, are permitted to negotiate the terms of such Governing Documents. Investment advice is provided directly to the Funds, subject to the discretion and control of the applicable general partner, and not individually to limited partners in the Funds. Limited partners do not have any control over the operation or management of the Funds or discretion over when capital is drawn or which and how investments are made. Pursuant to an Advisory Agreement with each Charlesbank Fund, Charlesbank provides discretionary investment advisory services and has authority to decide which investments to purchase and sell for the Funds. Charlesbank further ensures that the Associates Entities and GP Entities participate in and exit investments alongside the associated Charlesbank Funds, as applicable, on the programmatic, fixed bases to which they are subject and on substantially the same investment terms and conditions as the other vehicles in such Charlesbank Funds, as applicable. Charlesbank is wholly owned by Charlesbank Capital Partners, Limited Partnership. As of December 31, 2023, Charlesbank managed approximately $17.65 billion of client assets, all of which is managed on a discretionary basis.
