The Private Funds, Special Purpose Entities, and Co-Investment Vehicle Clients are collectively
referred to as “Clients.” In providing services to the Clients, among other things, Activant manages
assets in accordance with the terms of the applicable governing documents. Activant provides
investment advice directly to the Private Funds, the Special Purpose Entities, and the
Co-Investment Vehicle Clients and not individually to a Client’s Fund Investors or Limited
Partners.
Investment restrictions for Clients are generally established in the applicable governing document
such as a limited partnership agreement or private placement memorandum (collectively, the
“Governing Documents”).
Activant expects to advise other private funds, co-investment vehicles, and special purpose entities
in the future. Activant, on its own behalf and on a Private Fund’s behalf, has entered into side
letter agreements (“Side Letters”) with certain existing or prospective Limited Partners. Such Side
Letters have and in the future may establish rights under, or alter or supplement the terms of, the
Governing Documents between the parties to such Side Letters and the Client, and have and in the
future may establish investment or other terms with such Limited Partners that are more favorable
than the terms available to other Limited Partners. Other side letter rights are likely to confer
benefits on the relevant Limited Partner at the expense of the relevant Private Fund or of Limited
Partners as a whole, including in the event that a side letter confers additional reporting,
information rights and/or transfer rights, the costs and expenses of which are expected to be borne
by the relevant Private Fund. For the most part, any rights established, or any terms altered or
supplemented will govern only the investment of the specific Fund Investor and not the terms of
the Private Fund as a whole.
The information provided herein about the investment advisory services provided by Activant is
qualified in its entirety by reference to the Governing Documents and subscription agreements.
As of December 31, 2023, Activant had regulatory assets under management of approximately
$1,241,140,446, all of which are managed on a discretionary basis. Activant did not manage any
