Brochure Summary

Overview

Raine Capital LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, is an investment advisory firm headquartered in New York, New York that was founded in 2009 by industry veterans Joseph Ravitch and Jeffrey A. Sine. Raine Capital LLC is registered as an “investment adviser” under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, as amended (the “Advisers Act”). Raine also maintains offices in Los Angeles, San Francisco, Hong Kong, London, Mumbai, Paris, Shanghai and Singapore. Registration does not imply a certain level of skill or training. Raine typically provides investment advisory services on a discretionary basis to certain closed- end private investment funds and certain open-end private investment funds. Raine also provides investment advisory services on a non-discretionary basis to certain persons who invest in certain portfolio companies alongside the Raine Funds pursuant to a PVA (as defined below). Specifically, Raine primarily provides investment advice to the Raine Funds as well as certain special purpose investment vehicles and/or PVA Investors that may co-invest alongside the Raine Funds in the same portfolio companies in which the Raine Funds invest. Raine also provides investment advisory services on a discretionary basis to individual investors in Separately Managed Accounts (“SMAs”). The Raine co-investment vehicles (as defined below) are formed, in Raine’s discretion, for the purpose of permitting (i) certain investors in the applicable Raine Funds to increase, on a discretionary basis, the amount that they invest in certain portfolio companies in which the Raine Funds are investing and/or (ii) one or more third parties that are not investors in the applicable Raine Funds to invest alongside the Raine Funds in certain portfolio companies in which the Raine Funds are investing. Generally, unlike the Raine Funds, each Raine co-investment vehicle is established for the specific purpose of making an investment (and any related follow-on investment) in one specific portfolio company in which a Raine Fund is investing. Accordingly, once established, a Raine co- investment vehicle typically will not make investments in additional portfolio companies. Raine is a wholly owned subsidiary of The Raine Group LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, which is principally owned by Raine Holdings LLC. Raine Holdings LLC is owned mostly by senior employees of Raine and is ultimately controlled by Joseph Ravitch and Jeffrey A. Sine. As used in this Brochure:

Raine PE Clients Our private equity business focuses on advising the Raine PE Clients in making opportunistic investments in the equity or debt of operating companies in the Technology, Media and Telecommunications (“TMT”) sectors, primarily focused on content and entertainment, sports and lifestyle, gaming, internet and technology, with the primary differences between the Raine Growth Funds, the Raine Gaming Fund and the Raine Venture Funds being the size of the investments, as described later in this paragraph, the growth stage of the companies invested in, and the Raine Gaming Fund’s concentration in the gaming sector. Most operating companies in which the Raine PE Clients invest are privately held. As provided in its governing documents, each Raine PE Fund may invest a small portion of its assets in passive, open-market investments in publicly traded-securities and in portfolio companies that are not in or related to our core sectors. We currently anticipate that the average size of an initial investment made by (i) the Raine Growth Funds will be between $50 million and $150 million, (ii) the Raine Gaming Fund will be between $10 million and $25 million and (iii) the Raine Venture Funds will be between $250,000 and $10 million, with fully scaled positions of up to 10% of total commitments to the applicable Raine Venture Fund, though, for the avoidance of doubt, in each case, the applicable Raine PE Fund’s investment committee may determine to make an investment that is outside this range. We also expect that each Raine PE Fund will have the ability to pursue larger transactions (at times significantly larger), where appropriate, generally by offering co-investment opportunities (as discussed below). Raine Hedge Clients Raine has in the past and may in the future advise Raine Hedge Clients. It is expected that any Raine Hedge Clients will
invest opportunistically in the TMT sector or a sub-sector thereof. Raine wound down the final Raine Hedge Clients previously in operation in 2023 and does not currently advise any Raine Hedge Clients. Co-investment Opportunities and Vehicles Raine offers co-investment opportunities to investors in Raine Funds and to third parties that are not investors in Raine Funds (including prospective investors, other sponsors, market participants, finders, consultants and other service providers, portfolio company management or personnel, Raine personnel and/or certain other persons associated with Raine and/or its affiliates), both through co-investment vehicles and via PVA, as defined and described below. Raine offers co-investment opportunities and makes allocations to particular investors in its full discretion, subject to its investment allocation policy. Generally, subject to the terms of the governing documents of a Raine co-investment vehicle and its related Raine Fund, a Raine co-investment vehicle is contractually required, as a condition of its investment, to exit its investment in any particular investment opportunity at the same time and on substantially the same terms as its related Raine Fund. Additionally, subject to the relevant terms of its governing documents, a Raine co-investment vehicle will typically make initial and, where applicable, follow-on investments in a single portfolio company (or a single group of related portfolio companies) and will typically not invest in additional portfolio companies unrelated to the portfolio company comprising the initial investment. Pursuant to a Proxy Voting Agreement (a “PVA”), rather than investing into a portfolio company through a Raine vehicle, an investor (a “PVA Investor”) invests directly in the portfolio company and grants Raine voting authority over the investment via contract. While not typically required, a PVA Investor is generally expected to exit its investment in the securities of a portfolio company at the same time and on substantially the same terms as its related Raine Fund exits those securities, subject to regulatory, tax, legal, operational and other similar considerations. In connection with the wind down of a Raine Hedge Fund in 2023, a distribution-in-kind of securities in two private companies of such Raine Hedge Fund was made to the investors in the fund. Raine entered into an agreement with each such investor whereby, subject to certain limitations, Raine may act as a proxy for such investor for purposes of voting such investor’s securities in such companies. Separately Managed Accounts On a limited basis, Raine manages SMAs for an eligible high-net-worth individual. These SMAs primarily make investments in long and short positions in publicly traded equity securities or exchange-traded funds and are outside the investment mandates of the Raine PE Clients. General We provide investment advice to our clients regarding the selection, monitoring and realization of each client’s investments. The relationship between us and each client is governed by the governing documents of each client and the terms of investment advisory agreements between us and each client. Investments in the Raine clients are privately offered only to qualified investors, typically institutional investors and eligible high-net-worth individuals. The investment advice we provide to our clients is limited to the investment programs conducted by each Raine client. Our advisory services are tailored to the investment strategies of our clients. With respect to our private funds, as investment advice is provided directly to the respective Raine investment vehicles and not individually to investors, we do not tailor our advisory services to the individual needs of investors. Investment restrictions are imposed in the governing agreements for the Raine investment vehicles, as specifically negotiated with investors. These terms may and, in certain cases, do restrict our advice concerning investments in certain securities, geographies, or sectors, concentration limits or leverage, among others. Raine co-investment vehicles are typically established to invest alongside the Raine Funds in certain investment opportunities, in accordance with Raine’s investment allocation policy and any applicable allocation restrictions in the relevant governing documents. In circumstances where an entire investment could be made by a Raine Fund, Raine is permitted to still allocate a portion of such investment to one or more co-investors, including Raine co-investment vehicles, in accordance with such fund’s governing documents and Raine’s internal policies and procedures if Raine believes in its good faith judgment that the full investment would, among other things, result in suboptimal diversification of the applicable fund or that a particular co-investor would add value to the fund or the investment. Raine and its affiliates have entered (and expects to continue to enter) into agreements, or “side letters,” with investors whereby such investors are subject to terms and conditions that vary from, and may be more favorable than, those applicable to other investors. Any such terms and conditions can (without limitation) relate to (i) opt-outs relating to particular investments, (ii) information rights or specialized reporting obligations, (iii) transfers to affiliates or third parties, (iv) participation in co-investment opportunities, (v) withdrawal rights, (vi) consent rights to certain governing document amendments, (vii) payment of management fees, carried interest and/or incentive allocation , (viii) representation on a Raine investment vehicle’s limited partner advisory committee (or equivalent thereof), (vi) confidentiality protections and disclosure rights, (vii) modification of default remedies, (viii) economic, procedural and other terms, many of which will not be subject to the “most-favored nation” provisions of a Raine Fund’s governing documents or (ix) key person notifications. Certain side letter rights are likely to confer benefits on the relevant investor at the expense of the relevant Raine Funds or of investors as a whole, including in the event that a side letter confers additional reporting and/or information rights the costs and expenses of which are expected to be borne by the relevant Raine Fund. Raine and its affiliates have permitted (and expects in the in the future to permit) certain business associates and “friends and family” of the Manager, the Raine Group or qualified employees of Raine to invest directly or indirectly in the Raine investment vehicles on terms that may be more favorable than those offered to other investors, including with respect to the payment of management fees, carried interest and/or incentive allocation. In some cases, private equity professionals or other services professionals from other investment firms are and may in the future become investors in the Raine investment vehicles. Raine does not participate as manager or investment advisor in any wrap fee programs. As of December 31, 2023, Raine manages approximately $3,418,300,000 on a discretionary basis and approximately $35,300,000 on a non-discretionary basis
