We refer to these funds collectively as the “Spring Lake Funds” or as “Clients” and individually

Spring Lake Equity Partners, Spring Lake Equity Partners II, and Spring Lake Equity Partners III 
invest in operating companies, generally companies whose equity securities are privately held. The 
co-investment Funds are each invested in a single operating company.  Each of the Spring Lake 
Funds may temporarily invest cash in short-term instruments such as money market instruments, 
certain government securities or bank certificates of deposit. 
Spring Lake Equity GP began operations in July 2013 and the other Spring Lake Equity Entities 
began operation thereafter. 
Spring Lake Equity Management LLC (“Spring Lake Equity Management”) is the investment 
manager for each of the Spring Lake Funds. Spring Lake Equity Management is also the managing 
member of each of the Spring Lake Equity GP Entities and controls each of them.  Spring Lake 
Equity Management and the Spring Lake Equity GP Entities share office space and personnel.  
They have a common Code of Ethics and Chief Compliance Officer.  The Spring Lake Equity GP 
Entities, the Spring Lake Funds, and the Spring Lake Equity Management do business under the 
name “Spring Lake Equity Partners.” 
Spring Lake Equity Management has  entered into an amended and restated sub-advisory 
agreement with WestRiver
                                        
                                        
                                             Management, LLC (“WestRiver Management”), pursuant to which 
WestRiver Management provides investment advisory and related services, as requested, with 
respect to Spring Lake Equity Partners II. See Item 11 (“Code of Ethics, Participation or Interest 
in Client Transactions and Personal Trading” / “Certain Other Conflicts of Interest”).  
The largest owners of each of the Spring Lake Equity GP Entities are Robert F. Forlenza (“Mr. 
Forlenza”) and Carmen J. Scarpa Jr. (“Mr. Scarpa”).  Mr. Forlenza and Mr. Scarpa left Tudor 
Investment Corporation (“Tudor”) in July 2013 to operate Spring Lake Equity Partners GP LLC 
and Spring Lake Equity Management. At Tudor, Mr. Forlenza and Mr. Scarpa were principal 
members of the Tudor Growth Equity Group, the private equity arm of Tudor. Other direct owners 
of each of the Spring Lake Equity GP Entities include Tudor Global Trading LLC, a Tudor 
affiliated entity, and WestRiver Management, the sponsor of WestRiver Equity Partners, LLC 
(“WestRiver Equity”), an investor in Spring Lake Equity Partners, Spring Lake Equity Partners II, 
and two of the Spring Lake co-investment vehicles.  Some Spring Lake Equity Management 
personnel also own an interest in one or more of the Spring Lake Equity GP Entities.  
Each Spring Lake Equity GP Entity has the discretionary authority to purchase or sell securities 
on behalf of the Fund for which it is the managing member, though the co-investment vehicles are 
not expected to purchase additional securities.   
Spring Lake Equity Partners and Spring Lake Equity Partners II each have certain large investors 
referred to as “Anchor Investors.”  The Anchor Investors, either directly or through WestRiver 
Equity, have invested in the Spring Lake Funds.   
Currently, each of the Spring Lake Equity GP Entities, other than the General Partners for Co-
investment funds, has an advisory committee (as to each Fund, the “Advisory Committee” and as 
to  the  Funds, the “Advisory Committees”).  The Spring Lake Equity GP Entities  select the 
members of the respective Advisory Committees.   
The principal purpose of each Advisory Committee is to provide such advice and counsel to the 
Spring Lake Equity GP Entities as may be requested from time to time.  Each of the Spring Lake 
Equity GP Entities expect to consult the pertinent Advisory Committee in the ordinary course on 
potential investments, although all decisions with respect to such investments remain vested in the 
Spring Lake Equity GP Entities. The responsibilities of the Advisory Committees are detailed in 
the Funds’ offering documents.   
The Anchor Investors have entered into “side letters” with some of the Spring Lake Equity GP 
Entities that afford them certain rights, including more favorable economic terms and in some 
instances co-investment rights under certain circumstances.  Some other investors have entered 
into “side letters” with some of the Spring Lake Equity GP Entities that afford them more favorable 
economic terms.  See Item 11 (“Code of Ethics, Participation or Interest in Client Transactions and 
Personal Trading” / “Certain Other Conflicts of Interest.”)   
As of December 31, 2023, we managed $328,955,000 in discretionary assets.
