headquartered in Boston, Massachusetts that has been a registered investment adviser since March

The Firm was founded in March of 2008 by Paul R. Marcus, the sole shareholder, President and
CEO of the Firm. The Firm, on behalf of Paul Marcus, co-advises certain partnerships and joint
ventures with a third party registered investment adviser, The Davis Companies, controlled by his
former partner, that are fully invested in real estate and real estate related assets. The Firm also
provides asset management services to those other ventures. On March 31, 2023, five Principals
completed the first buy-in of three anticipated buy-ins to the Firm to acquire a portion of the firm as
part of the long-term succession planning framework which also included converting Marcus
Partners, Inc. to Marcus Partners, LLC.

estate funds: (i) Marcus Capital Partners Fund II, L.P. ("Fund II"); (ii) Marcus Capital Partners
Fund III, L.P. (“Fund III”); and (iii) Marcus Capital Partners Fund
