Brynwood Partners Management LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Brynwood”, “us”, “we” or
“our”), is based in Greenwich, CT, and has been in business since 2004. Our principal owner is Hendrik
J. Hartong III.
Brynwood provides investment advisory services to private pooled investment vehicles organized as
limited partnerships or other entities (each, a “Fund” and, collectively, the “Funds”). The Funds are
closed and generally have a term of 10 years. The Funds are marketed primarily to institutional investors
and high net worth individuals. These investors purchase interests in the Funds, and investments are
made at the Fund level, not for individual investors in the Fund. As the investment adviser of the Funds,
Brynwood, along with each Fund’s general partner (each, a “General Partner” and, collectively, the
“General Partners”), identifies investment opportunities for, and participates in the acquisition,
management, monitoring and disposition of investments of each Fund.
The primary focus of Brynwood’s investment advisory services is researching and advising on privately
negotiated transactions in operating entities. Investments are predominantly in non-public companies,
although investments in public companies are permitted under certain circumstances. One or more of our
senior investment personnel generally serves on a portfolio company’s board of directors to influence
control or management of portfolio companies held by the Funds.
The advisory services for each of the Funds are further described in the Funds’ respective offering
memorandum, limited partnership agreement, and management or advisory agreement (collectively, the
“Documents”). We do not vary our investment advice from the terms of these Documents. Additionally,
these Documents also detail the various investment restrictions that govern the types of investments the
Funds may and may not make.
In accordance with common industry practice, one or more of the General Partners may enter into “side
letters” or similar arrangements with certain investors pursuant to which the General Partner grants the
investor specific rights, benefits, or privileges that are not made available to investors generally. These
arrangements typically clarify any regulatory, informational, and interpretational issues with the
Documents, and do not include changes in the financial terms.
As of December 31, 2023, we managed $2,498,778,862 of assets on a discretionary basis for three Funds.
