Brochure Summary

Overview

Mason is a Delaware limited liability company established in July 2000 by Michael E. Martino and Kenneth M. Garschina, who are the owners of Mason. Mason’s offices are located in New York, New York. Mason provides investment management services on a discretionary basis to privately offered investment vehicles, and from time to time may also provide investment management services to one or more separately managed accounts. As of December 31, 2023, Mason had regulatory assets under management of $1,957,596,252, all of which Mason managed on a discretionary basis. Mason currently manages two private fund structures (together, the “Mason Funds” or the “Funds”): (1) a master-feeder fund structure comprised of two feeder funds – Mason Capital, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (the “Onshore Fund”) and Mason Capital, Ltd., a Cayman Islands exempted company (the “Offshore Fund”) – which invest their assets in Mason Capital Master Fund, L.P. (the “Master Fund”), a Cayman Islands exempted limited partnership registered under the Exempted Limited Partnership Law (as revised) that generally invests in event-driven investment opportunities (the Master Fund, the Onshore Fund and the Offshore Fund collectively will be referred to as the “Event Funds”); and (2) Mason Capital SPV III, LLC, a co- investment vehicle that invests in certain specifically enumerated municipal debt securities (the “SPV”). In the future, Mason may provide investment advice to other private funds and/or separately managed accounts for non-retail institutional investors (collectively, with the Mason Funds, “Mason Clients” or “Clients”). The Funds will be managed in accordance with their own investment and trading objectives, as described in their offering documents and governing agreements. Mason does not permit investors in the Funds to impose limitations on the investment activities described in such documents. Under certain circumstances, Mason may contract with a Client to adhere to limited risk and/or operating guidelines imposed by that Client. Mason would negotiate such arrangements on a case-by-case basis. (See Item 16 –InvestmentDiscretion). Mason Management LLC (the “General Partner”), a Delaware limited liability company, is the general partner of the Onshore Fund and the Master Fund. Michael Martino and Kenneth Garschina are the managing members of the General Partner. The General Partner is responsible for managing
the Master Fund’s affairs and has delegated responsibility for certain management and administrative services to the Investment Manager. Mason does not participate in a wrap fee program. TheEventFunds The vast majority of Mason’s assets under management are invested in the Event Funds. In managing the Event Funds, Mason’s principal investment objective is to achieve attractive capital appreciation over time, relatively independent of the returns of the overall equity and debt markets, by the use of a variety of investment strategies as Mason, in its discretion, chooses, but principally by employing four event-driven investment strategies: merger arbitrage, distressed securities, credit opportunities and special situations. Mason uses its experience and knowledge to select, opportunistically, those investments in these four areas which it believes will generate attractive risk-adjusted returns. Mason, as the investment manager, may, in its sole discretion, use other investment techniques and strategies which may, in its sole opinion, generate additional capital appreciation with an acceptable level of risk. There is no guarantee that these objectives will be met. In efforts to achieve its investment objectives, Mason trades a variety of instruments, including, but not limited to common stock and other equities and options related thereto, derivative and convertible securities, debt instruments, warrants, forward and futures contracts, and other instruments. Mason, in its capacity as investment manager, generally bases its investment decisions on both internally generated research and research obtained from outside sources. It evaluates the downside/upside potential as well as, in the case of securities subject to extraordinary corporate activity, the probability of completion of each transaction in order to calculate the expected return. It may use trading strategies to minimize its loss exposure in specific situations. TheSPV As noted above, the SPV is a co-investment vehicle designed to invest in certain municipal debt securities specifically enumerated in the SPV’s Operating Agreement. As of the date of this Brochure, the investors in the SPV are Michael Martino and Kenneth Garschina. Mason reserves the right to revise and/or add to its existing strategies, and/or implement additional strategies, as it sees fit in its role as Investment Manager for the Mason Funds.
