Investment Strategies and Types of Investments
PSAM is an event-driven investment adviser that invests in the securities and obligations of
companies which, in the opinion of PSAM, are mispriced relative to their inherent or embedded
value. The mispricing of these securities and obligations is generally attributable to a corporate
action or corporate event (or a potential corporate action or corporate event) including, but not
limited to (collectively, the “Event Activities”):
• corporate reorganizations and business combinations including: mergers, joint ventures,
exchange offers, cash and/or stock tender offers, spin-offs, leveraged buy-outs,
management buy-outs, divestitures, rights offerings and privatizations;
• corporate debt and balance sheet restructurings and financings including: bankruptcies,
recapitalizations, liquidations, capital markets activities and bridge financings;
• changes to a company's business including: changes in a company's capital structure,
borrowings, dividend policy, cash utilization strategy, management, competitive posture in
the market, products and vendor or supplier relationships; and
• catalyst driven situations where there has been some form of public disclosure impacting
the value of a company's assets or liabilities. The impact of the catalyst may be difficult to
quantify from a value and timing perspective and the outcome may be uncertain. These
situations may involve litigation, legislation or regulatory change, proxy fights, holding

Advisory Services
PSAM provides investment management services to pooled investment vehicles (“Private Funds”)
that are structured as either limited partnerships formed under the laws of the state of Delaware
(“Onshore Feeders”) or exempted companies with limited liability incorporated in the Cayman
Islands (“Offshore Feeders”). An affiliate of PSAM serves as the general partner to each Onshore
Feeder and Peter M. Schoenfeld serves as one of three directors for each Offshore Feeder. In
addition, as a general matter, the Private Funds invest the majority of their assets in affiliated funds
(“Master Funds”) that are structured as exempted companies with limited liability incorporated in
the Cayman Islands and have the same directors as those for each Offshore Feeder. PSAM
manages each Private Fund and Master Fund based on the investment objectives and restrictions
as set out in the relevant Private Fund’s offering documents.
In addition, PSAM provides trading advisory services to a number of separately managed accounts
(“Managed Accounts”) for clients that are pooled investment vehicles interested in investment
programs that differ from the ones used by the Private Funds or for clients that do not wish to
invest in the Private Funds referenced above. The investment guidelines and restrictions for each
Managed Account are negotiated by PSAM and the relevant parties.
PSAM also provides investment advisory services to one client for whom we do not execute trades
(the “Advisory Account”).
As used herein, the term “client” or “clients” refers to one or more of the Private Funds and
Managed Accounts referenced above.
Assets Under Management
PSAM has discretionary authority (i.e., the authority to decide which securities to purchase and
sell) for all of its clients except for one non-discretionary advisory account and had assets under
management (calculated on a net basis, including such advisory account) totaling approximately
$1,583,602,408 as of December 31, 2023. As of that date, PSAM had regulatory assets under
management (excluding such advisory account) totaling approximately $1,823,715,850.
