Investment Management Services
Registered Mutual Fund
We are the investment adviser to the Otter Creek Long/Short Opportunity Fund (the "Mutual Fund"), a
series of the Professionally Managed Portfolios series trust and a mutual fund registered under the
Investment Company Act of 1940. The investment objective of the Mutual Fund is to seek long-term
capital appreciation and employ a long/short investment strategy in an attempt to manage risk. The
Mutual Fund takes long positions in securities Otter Creek Advisors, LLC believes to be undervalued
and short positions in securities it believes to be overvalued. As compensation for the discretionary
investment advisory services provided to the Mutual Fund, we receive a monthly management fee
based upon the average daily net assets of the Mutual Fund of 1.35%. Investors and prospective
investors should refer to the Mutual Fund's prospectus for information concerning the Mutual Fund.
Separately Managed Accounts
In certain cases, we offer discretionary investment management services for separately managed
accounts, as either an investment adviser or a sub-adviser, as applicable. Our investment advice is
tailored to meet our clients' needs and investment objectives. If you retain our firm for separately
managed account services, we will meet with you to determine your investment objectives, risk
tolerance, and other relevant information (the "suitability information") at the beginning of our advisory
relationship. We will use the suitability information we gather from our initial meeting to develop a
strategy that enables our firm to give you continuous and focused investment advice and/or to make
investments on your behalf. As part of our investment management services, we will customize an
investment portfolio for you in accordance with your investing objectives. Once we construct an
investment portfolio for you, we will monitor your portfolio's performance on an ongoing basis, and will
rebalance the portfolio as required by changes in market conditions and in your financial
circumstances.
We require you to grant our firm discretionary authority to manage your account. Discretionary
authorization will allow our firm to determine the specific securities, and the amount of securities, to be
purchased or sold, the broker-dealer to be used and the commission rates to be paid for your account
without your approval prior to each transaction. Discretionary authority is typically granted by the
investment advisory agreement you sign with our firm, a power of attorney, or trading authorization
forms. You may limit our discretionary authority (for example, limiting the types of securities that can be
purchased for your account) by providing our firm with your restrictions and guidelines in writing.
Fees are negotiable at our discretion and clients may be charged differently based on factors such as
client type, asset class, pre-existing relationship, portfolio complexity and account size or other
special circumstances or requirements. Related accounts may be aggregated for fee calculation
purposes in certain circumstances. Our fees are exclusive of brokerage commissions, transaction
fees, and other related costs and expenses which shall be incurred by the client. Clients may incur
certain charges imposed by custodians, brokers, third party investment and other third parties such
as fees charged by managers, custodial fees, deferred sales charges, odd-lot differentials, transfer
taxes, wire transfer and electronic fund fees, and other fees and taxes on brokerage accounts and
securities transactions. Mutual funds and exchange traded funds also charge internal management
fees, which are disclosed in a fund’s prospectus. Such charges, fees and commissions are exclusive
of and in addition to our fee, and we do not receive any portion of these commissions, fees, and
costs.
If the investment management agreement is executed at any time other than the first day of a billing
period, our fees will apply on a pro rata basis, which means that the advisory fee is payable in
proportion to the number of days in the billing period for which you are a client.
We will send you an invoice each billing period for the payment of our advisory fee, or the qualified
custodian holding your funds and securities will deduct our fee directly from your account. The
qualified custodian will deduct our advisory fee only when you have given our firm written authorization
permitting the fees to be paid directly from your account. Further, the qualified custodian is obligated
to deliver an account statement to you at least quarterly. These account statements will show all
disbursements from your account. You should review all statements for accuracy.
Termination of each investment management agreement will be subject to the terms of such
agreement. You will incur a pro rata charge for services rendered prior to the termination of the
investment management agreement, which means you will incur advisory fees only in proportion to the
number of days in the billing period.

stocks, preferred stocks, ADRs, and corporate debt.
