Overview
A. The Adviser is a private equity firm with office in Dallas, Texas which invests in providers of
services and manufactured products who market to the upstream, midstream and downstream
sectors of the energy industry, and also to those who design, construct and/or operate
related hydrocarbon infrastructure. The Adviser provides investment advisory services on a
discretionary basis to portfolio company investment limited partnerships including single
portfolio companies, private funds (specifically, Turnbridge Capital Partners I, L.P.;
Turnbridge Capital Partner I-A, L.P.; Turnbridge Network Investors I, L.P.; TCP Brigade CIV,
L.P.; and TCP Probe CIV, L.P.) and a Separately Managed Account (“SMA”), (each, a
“Partnership,” and together, the “Partnerships”).
The Adviser was formed in December 2007 and is led and managed by its 4 Partners, each of
whom has 10 to 40 years of direct industry experience and most of whom have the benefit of
a decade or more working together. Kent Sweezey and Mitch Cox have worked closely
together for approximately 15 of their past 22 years together. John Clarke has known and or
worked with Mitch Cox for 14 of the past 24 years and has been investing with or working
directly with Turnbridge for the past six years. Robert Horton has worked with Kent Sweezey
for 15 of the past 23 years. The team is known within the industry as deeply experienced,
trustworthy, good investors, team-builders and particularly skilled at driving value within their
portfolio. Inclusive of the Partners, the Adviser currently has 4 investment professionals and
is expected to be managed and supported
by up to approximately 4 professionals.
Each Partner delivers specific contributions to the success of the Firm and to its individual
portfolio companies, and fulfills specific roles in managing and leading the Firm.
B. Critical to its investment philosophy, Turnbridge seeks to invest alongside superior operating
management teams, most often as their company’s first institutional investor and partner, to
assist in the pursuit of shared strategic growth and value creation objectives. In addition,
Turnbridge will partner with experienced management teams with established track records in
specific industries to complete formation acquisitions and execute platform build-up
strategies.
From its office in Dallas, Turnbridge considers investment opportunities in a range of
industries, including energy and infrastructure, industrial manufacturing and services, and
transportation and distribution. Our founding partners have each spent their entire careers
in the southwest region of the U.S., and our expanding investment team has experience
across a diverse set of industry sectors and economic cycles.

investment capital to invest in portfolio companies that meet its investment objective. In
addition, Turnbridge also follows the strategy stated above when providing advisory services
to its private fund and SMA clients.
D. The Adviser does not participate in wrap fee programs.
