Brochure Summary

Overview

Generally The Adviser, a Delaware limited liability company, was formed in April 1997 and manages private equity funds. Principal Owners The investment activities of the Adviser are led by Mr. Stephen Berger, Mr. Brian Kwait, Mr. William Hopkins, Mr. Jeffrey McKibben, Mr. Craig Staub, , and Mr. Dennis Moore. The Adviser is principally owned by Mr. Kwait and Mr. Hopkins and is also owned by Mr. Berger, Mr. McKibben, and Mr. Staub. Advisory Services The Adviser provides investment advice to certain private equity Funds (the “Funds”) with respect to their private equity investments. The investment strategy of the Adviser is described in Item 8 below and set forth more fully in the private placement memorandum (as supplemented or amended, the “Private Placement Memorandum”) of each “Primary Fund” described below. The Adviser provides services to each Fund in accordance with the limited partnership or similar governing agreement of such Fund (each, a “Partnership Agreement”) and, where applicable, the management agreement between the Adviser and such Fund (each, a “Management Agreement”). The Adviser’s sole clients are the Funds. The Adviser’s investment advice to the Funds is limited to the type of advice described in this Brochure. Fund Structure In connection with the structuring and marketing of a new Fund, the Adviser or its affiliate forms a Primary Fund, the Partnership Agreement of which typically permits the general partner of the Primary Fund to form one or more parallel funds to accommodate the investment requirements of certain investors (each, a “Parallel Fund”). Any such Parallel Fund generally will invest side-by-side with the Primary Fund in all portfolio investments on the basis of available capital. In addition, the Partnership Agreement of a Primary Fund typically allows the general partner of the Primary Fund to establish one or more co-investment vehicles (each, a “Co-Investment Vehicle”) to facilitate investment by certain investors in some or all of the investments made by the Primary Fund. The term “Funds” as used herein includes Co-Investment Vehicles and Parallel Funds formed for such purposes in addition to the Primary Funds. Co-Investment Vehicles and Parallel Funds are generally structured as limited partnerships, limited liability companies or other similar entities. When we refer to limited partners and general partners in this Brochure, we are also referring to the equivalent investors and managers of such entities. Each Fund is managed by the Adviser, which
investigates, analyzes, structures and negotiates potential investments. The Adviser has general authority to recommend investments to the Fund’s general partner, subject to the limitations set forth in the Management Agreement and/or Partnership Agreement of such Fund. The management and the conduct of the activities of each Fund remain the ultimate responsibility of such Fund’s general partner. The general partner of each Fund is an affiliate of the Adviser. Investment Restrictions Each Partnership Agreement contains restrictions on investing in certain securities or types of securities as well as other limitations. Such restrictions may, in certain cases, be waived in accordance with the Partnership Agreement of a Primary Fund or Parallel Fund with the consent of such Primary Fund’s advisory committee, consisting of representatives of Limited Partners in such Fund who are not affiliated with the Adviser. The general partner of a Fund may enter into separate agreements, commonly referred to as “side letters,” or other similar agreements with a particular Limited Partner in connection with its admission to the Fund without the approval of any other Limited Partner, which would have the effect of establishing rights under or supplementing the terms of the applicable Fund’s Partnership Agreement with respect to such Limited Partner in a manner more favorable to such Limited Partner than those applicable to other Limited Partners. Such rights or terms in any such side letter or other similar agreement may include, without limitation, (a) excuse rights applicable to particular investments (which may increase the percentage interest of other Limited Partners in, and contribution obligations of other Limited Partners with respect to, such investments), (b) reporting obligations of the general partner, (c) waiver of certain confidentiality obligations, (d) consent of the general partner to certain transfers by such Limited Partner or (e) rights or terms necessary in light of particular legal, regulatory, tax, or public policy characteristics of a Limited Partner. Certain Limited Partners that have the benefits of a “most favored nation” provision are given the opportunity to elect the rights and terms in any side letter or other similar agreement that are applicable to such Limited Partners. Management of Client Assets As of December 31, 2023, the Adviser manages $6,086,656,563 of client assets on a discretionary basis and no client assets on a nondiscretionary basis.
