Citigroup Alternative Investments LLC (“CAI LLC”) is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Citigroup
Investments Inc., which is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Citigroup Inc. (“Citigroup”). Citigroup
is a publicly held company. CAI LLC commenced operation in March of 2002. CAI LLC’s
investment advisory business is also carried out by certain affiliated “relying on advisors,”
including Citigroup Private Equity LP, Citigroup Private Equity (Offshore) LLC, and Citi Private
Equity (CVCI GP) LLC (taken collectively with CAI LLC, “CAI”). CAI provides advisory
services to private investment companies such as private equity funds and funds of one or more
private equity and real estate funds (referred to herein collectively as “Funds” and each
individually as a “Fund”). The Funds CAI advises include private funds and employee securities
companies.
Following the enactment of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection of 2010
and other laws and regulations as a result of the 2008 financial crisis, CAI has substantially
modified its business, including through the divestiture of a significant portion of its business units,
management contracts and employees. CAI does not intend to organize or offer any new
investment products or to acquire any new advisory clients.
CAI continues to provide investment advisory services for the types of products listed below. All
of the investment products advised by CAI are currently past the active investment stage, in which
new investment opportunities are sought and made, although certain funds have the capacity to
make follow-on investments in existing assets. CAI has also engaged sub-advisers to assist with
the management of several of its advised funds following the divestitures described above.
Private Equity Fund Products:
CAI has organized and advises limited partnerships, limited liability companies and other
investment vehicles that have acquired non-publicly traded securities that they hold for an
extended period (“Private Equity Investment Funds”). The securities in which Private Equity
Investment Funds invest often have been acquired in management buyouts, or in connection with
company growth
or restructurings. These securities are in the form of common equity, preferred
equity, convertible debt, debt, or other instruments. The capital provided by the investments has
been used in the early or intermediate stages of an enterprise or has funded the expansion of an
established business.
CAI also advises investment partnerships where substantially all of the assets of which are invested
in one designated underlying Private Equity Investment Fund and, in one case, an underlying
infrastructure fund, in each case sponsored and managed by a third party (each, a “Private Equity
Feeder Fund. CAI’s role with respect to Private Equity Feeder Funds is essentially administrative,
rather than investment advisory in nature, as CAI is responsible primarily for effecting the Private
Equity Feeder Fund’s investment in the designated underlying investment fund, in accordance with
the Private Equity Feeder Fund’s governing documents.
Real Estate Products:
In the real estate investing area, CAI organized and advises private investment companies (each,
a “Fund of Real Estate Funds”) that invested in various underlying real estate limited partnerships,
limited liability companies and other investment vehicles that invested, directly or indirectly, in
real estate and real estate-related investments, broadly defined (such underlying vehicles, “Real
Estate Funds”) that CAI selected but which are sponsored and managed by third parties.
Particular Investment Restrictions
Individual investors in a Fund are not consulted in the design or implementation of the Fund’s
investment program. Each Fund’s governing documentation will describe that Fund’s investment
program.
