limited liability company that was formed in 2022 and is owned by Alan Freudenstein and
Greg Grimaldi. Freudenstein and Grimaldi are the primary portfolio managers of NEXT

pooled investment vehicles (and certain affiliated co-investment vehicles) that were
previously managed by CSAM.
B. Types of Advisory Services
NEXT Management is a private equity firm that provides investment advisory services on a
discretionary basis to privately-offered pooled investment vehicles, including special
purpose vehicles and private equity funds that invest in private investments (collectively, the
“Funds” and each a “Fund”). Additionally, NEXT Management manages co-investment
vehicles. In the future, NEXT Management may sponsor additional funds, including feeder
and parallel funds, co-investment vehicles and special purpose vehicles.
Affiliates of NEXT Management serve as a managing member or general partner for the Funds
(collectively, the “General Partners” and each a “General Partner”). While the General
Partners retain management authority over the business and affairs, including investment
decisions, of their respective Funds, NEXT Management has been delegated the role of
investment adviser of such Funds. The General Partners are under common control with the
Firm and, together
with NEXT Management, operate as part of a single advisory business and
are subject to the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, as amended (the “Advisers Act”) pursuant
to the Firm’s registration in accordance with SEC guidance.
