“Clients”) that are exempt from registration under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as
amended (the “1940 Act”), and whose securities are not registered under the Securities Act of
1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). In addition, the Adviser’s Clients also include vehicles
specially formed in order to meet tax, regulatory or other requirements through which investors
invest
in substantially the same portfolio as certain other Clients.
The Clients make primarily long-term private equity and equity-related investments, as well as

investment objectives, investments are made in companies doing business in a wide range of
industries and sectors.

management agreement with such Client (each, an “Advisory Agreement”), the limited partnership
agreement (or analogous organizational document) of such Client, and/or side letters entered into
with certain investors in a Client (collectively with the Advisory Agreement and organizational
document, the “Governing Documents”). The Adviser’s advisory services consist of investigating,
identifying and evaluating investment opportunities, structuring, negotiating and making
investments on behalf of the Clients, managing and monitoring the performance of such
investments and disposing of such investments.
Investment advice is provided directly to the Clients and not individually to the investors in the
