LLR Management HoldCo, L.P. succeeded the fund advisory business of LLR Walnut, L.P. on September
26, 2022, when LLR Management HoldCo, L.P. became a registered investment adviser with the United
States Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). From and after September 26, 2022, LLR
Management HoldCo, L.P. serves as a lead advisory entity and LLR Management, L.P. serves as a Relying
Adviser under the firm’s umbrella registration with the SEC (LLR Management HoldCo, L.P. collectively
with LLR Management, L.P., “LLR”).
LLR Management, L.P. was co-founded by Ira Lubert, Seth Lehr and Howard Ross (the “Co-Founders”)
in 1999. The management and operations of LLR is currently conducted by Mr. Ross, ten additional
Partners, LLR’s Senior Leadership Team (collectively referred to as “Senior Leadership”) and over 50
additional professionals with broad financial experience. In addition, entities affiliated with Petershill
Partners plc (“Petershill”) hold a passive minority interest in LLR Management HoldCo, L.P. and its
affiliated general partners and managers of the Funds (as defined below). Petershill has no authority over
the day-to-day operations or investment decisions of LLR or the Funds, although it does have certain
customary passive minority protection rights.
LLR provides investment management services to pooled investment vehicles, typically limited
partnerships (referred throughout as the “LLR Funds” or the “Funds”), that invest primarily in lower
middle-market growth businesses (“portfolio companies”) operating in various industries. These
investments employ a variety of structures and transaction types, including minority or majority ownership
positions, growth capital, buyouts, recapitalizations or some combination thereof. References herein to
LLR may include, as the context requires, various entities controlled by LLR and through which LLR
provides investment management services, such as entities that serve as general partners to its Funds.
LLR’s primary clients are the LLR Funds, each of which is not registered under the Investment Company
Act of 1940, as amended (the “Investment Company Act”), and whose securities are exempt from
registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). LLR may also from time
to time provide advisory services to certain co-investors in the LLR Funds’ portfolio
companies. No LLR
Funds’ equity interests are offered hereby, and each LLR Fund is open for investment only through a
“private placement” offering. The LLR Funds are intended only for accredited investors, qualified clients
and qualified purchasers, as defined under the Federal securities laws.
LLR provides investment advisory services to each Fund in accordance with the Fund’s limited partnership
agreement (or analogous organizational document), applicable advisory agreement and private placement
memoranda. Investment advice is provided directly to each Fund, subject to the discretion and control of
the Fund’s general partner, and not individually to any investor in any Fund. Investment guidelines and
restrictions for each LLR Fund are established in the organizational and offering documents of the
applicable Fund.
As further discussed in this filing, LLR has established an internal “Value Creation Team,” that provides
support to LLR Fund portfolio companies, including strategic planning, operational improvement
consulting, capital markets consulting, and talent management consulting services, as well as diligence
support in connection with the LLR Funds’ investing activities. Such services include, among others,
managing executive searches, serving in portfolio company management positions on an interim basis and
providing support and project-based consulting services in areas of go-to market and customer lifecycle
support, sales and marketing, information technology, finance and accounting, capital markets, M&A
integration and sale transaction preparedness support, project management and development and strategic
planning and other functional area. support LLR also has an internal Business Development Team
comprised of employees that devote a substantial amount of time and effort to business development,
including, for any given year, spending a portion of their time and effort sourcing add-on acquisitions for,
or otherwise assisting, LLR Fund portfolio companies. Specific time allocations are not tracked as between
sourcing efforts for new portfolio companies for LLR Funds and add-on acquisitions for LLR Fund
portfolio companies.
As of December 31, 2023, LLR Funds’ regulatory assets under management (inclusive of any Relying
Advisers) were approximately $5,884,305,456 and are managed on a discretionary basis.
