a) Background
Omega Fund Management, LLC (“Omega US” or the “Adviser”) is an investment adviser offering
investment advisory services with respect to securities of companies active in the life sciences
field. Omega US is part of the Omega Group (“Omega”), which includes Clessidra, LLC
(“Clessidra”) and NeoMed Sàrl (“NeoMed”). Clessidra is a US limited liability company and
NeoMed is a 100% owned subsidiary that is based in Switzerland. Omega was originally founded
in November 2004, with its U.S. operations (Omega US) established in February 2006. The
members/owners of Omega US are Francesco Draetta, Claudio Nessi and Clessidra, with Otello
Stampacchia being the sole member of Clessidra. For purposes of this brochure, “Omega US” or
the “Adviser” shall include (where the context permits) the affiliated general partners of the Fund
(as defined below). Such general partners are under common control with Omega Fund
Management, LLC.
b) Advisory Services
Omega US offers investment advice to private investment funds (the “Funds”) that are exempt
from registration under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Investment
Company Act”), and whose securities are not registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as
amended (the Securities Act”), and certain other investment advisors. The principal activity of the
Funds is to acquire, hold and dispose of investments in equity securities of companies active in the
life sciences field. Omega US advises the Funds on a discretionary basis. Omega US provides
advice with respect to companies and portfolios of companies and the general partner of each of
the Funds, each an Omega affiliate, makes investment decisions for such Fund. The Limited
Partners of, or other investors in, the Funds have no opportunity to select or evaluate any Fund
investments or strategies. Omega selects all investments and strategies. Omega US’s advisory
services consist of investigating, identifying and evaluating investment opportunities, structuring,
negotiating and making investments on behalf of the Funds, managing and monitoring the
performance of such investments and disposing of such investments.
Omega US provides investment supervisory services to each Fund in accordance with the limited
partnership agreement (or analogous organizational document) of such Fund or separate
investment and advisory, investment management or portfolio management
agreements.
c) Tailored Advice and Client-Imposed Restrictions
Each Omega advisory relationship and each Fund has its own investment objectives, strategies and
restrictions. Certain relationships and Funds focus on a narrow investment strategy, while others
may pursue a broader investment strategy. Omega’s agreement with an advisory client can set
forth objectives, strategies, restrictions and limitations governing such advisory relationship.
Omega prepares offering materials with respect to each Fund, which contain more detailed
information, including a description of the investment objective and strategy or strategies
employed and related restrictions and limitations.
While Omega’s advisory agreement with respect to an advisory relationship is reasonably tailored
based on the individual needs of an advisory client, none of the Funds is tailored to meet the
individualized investment needs of any particular investor (“Investor”). An investment in a Fund
does not create a client-adviser relationship between Omega and an Investor. Further discussion
of the strategies, investments and risks associated with a Fund are included in the offering
memorandum and agreements governing such Fund. Investment advice is provided directly to the
Funds, subject to the discretion and control of the applicable general partner, and not individually
to the Investors. Services are provided to the Funds in accordance with the advisory agreements
with the Funds and/or organizational documents of the applicable Fund.
Clients and Investors must consider whether a particular advisory relationship or Fund,
respectively, is appropriate to their own circumstances based on all relevant factors including, but
not limited to, the Client’s or Investor’s own investment objectives, liquidity requirements, tax
situation and risk tolerance, among other considerations. Prospective Clients and Investors are
strongly encouraged to undertake appropriate due diligence, including but not limited to a review
of relevant advisory agreements or offering materials for the Funds, as applicable, and the
additional details about Omega’s investment strategies, methods of analysis and related risks in
Item 8 of this Brochure, before making an investment decision.
d) Wrap Fee Disclosure
Not applicable.
e) Assets under Management

managed on a discretionary basis.
