Brochure Summary

Overview

Firm Description Founded in 2005, Rock Island Capital, LLC (together with its fund general partners (unless otherwise specified), “RIC” or the “Firm”) is a private equity firm that invests in lower middle market companies to support their ownership transition and growth strategies. RIC invests in both majority and minority equity positions through recapitalizations, management buyouts and growth equity opportunities. The Firm targets manufacturing, distribution and service companies primarily based in the United States and Canada, with initial enterprise values up to $150 million and revenue ranging from $10 million to $250 million. RIC invests in profitable companies and does not invest in companies whose primary business is real estate or the exploration of natural resources. RIC serves as the investment manager to the following private funds: Rock Island Capital Fund I, L.P. (“RIC Fund I”) and Rock Island Capital Q Fund I, L.P. (the “RIC Q Fund I” and together with RIC Fund I, “Fund I”); Rock Island Capital Fund II, L.P. (“Fund II”); Rock Island Capital Fund III, L.P. (“RIC Fund III”) and Rock Island Capital Fund III-A, L.P. (“RIC Fund III-A” and together with RIC Fund III, “Fund III”); Rock Island Capital Fund IV, L.P. (“RIC Fund IV”), Rock Island Capital Fund IV-A, L.P. (“RIC Fund IV-A”) and Rock Island Capital Fund IV-X, L.P. (“RIC Fund IV-X” and together with RIC Fund IV and RIC Fund IV-A, “Fund IV”) (together, Fund I, Fund II, Fund III and Fund IV, the “Main Funds”). RIC also manages special purpose vehicle investments created to facilitate an investment in a single portfolio company alongside a Fund (collectively referred to herein as the “SPVs,” and collectively with the Main Funds, the “Funds” unless otherwise specified or as the context requires). An SPV pools together money from an RIC Fund and other eligible investors, who are referred to herein as “co-investors” (and together with investors in the Funds, “limited partners” unless otherwise specified). Additionally, in certain circumstances, as more fully described in Item 7 below, the Firm also permits certain limited partners and third parties to co-invest alongside a Fund directly into a portfolio company. Unlike the SPVs mentioned above, such direct co-investments are not considered Funds or clients of RIC. The general partners (“General Partners”) of each Fund are affiliated with RIC and are deemed to be registered under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, as amended, (“Advisers Act”), pursuant to RIC’s registration in accordance with SEC guidance. Each General Partner has the authority to make investment decisions on behalf of the applicable Fund. The applicable General Partner retains investment discretion and limited partners in the Funds do not participate in the control or management of the Funds. While the General Partners maintain ultimate authority over the respective Funds, RIC has been delegated the role of investment adviser. For more information about the Funds and General Partners, please see RIC’s Form ADV Part 1, Schedule D, Section 7.A. and Section 7.B.(1). Advisory Business RIC provides investment advisory services as a private equity fund manager to its Funds. The Funds invest through privately negotiated transactions in non-public operating companies, generally referred to as “portfolio companies.” Each portfolio company has its own independent management team responsible for managing its day-to-day operations, although RIC’s principals or other personnel and/or third
parties appointed by RIC (including Operating Advisors, as described below) will generally serve on such portfolio companies’ respective boards of directors or otherwise act to influence control over management of portfolio companies held by the Funds. In addition, in some cases, RIC will more directly influence the day-to-day management of the company by recruiting and installing certain individuals in various leadership roles, such as chief executive officer, chief operating officer, chief financial officer or in other roles. RIC’s investment advisory services to the Funds consist of identifying and evaluating investment opportunities, negotiating the terms of investments, managing and monitoring investments and ultimately achieving dispositions of such investments. The Firm’s advisory services for each Fund are detailed in and governed by the applicable offering memorandum, limited partnership agreements (or similar agreement), subscription documents, investment advisory agreement, side letters and other governing documents of the relevant Fund (collectively, “Governing Documents”) and limited partners determine the suitability of an investment in a Fund based on, among other things, the Governing Documents. The Firm’s investment advice and authority for each Fund is tailored to the investment objectives of that Fund; RIC does not tailor its advisory services to the individual needs of limited partners in its Funds. Limited partners in the Funds participate in the overall investment program for the applicable Fund, and generally cannot be excused from a particular investment except pursuant to the terms of the relevant Governing Documents. In accordance with industry common practice, the Firm has, in its sole discretion, entered into side letters or similar agreements with certain limited partners that have the effect of establishing rights under, altering or supplementing, a Fund’s Governing Documents. Examples of side letters entered into include certain fee arrangements, advisory board representation, notification provisions, provisions whereby limited partners have expressed an interest in participating in co-investment opportunities and timing of capital calls, among others. These rights, benefits or privileges are not always made available to all limited partners, consistent with the Governing Documents and general market practice. Commencing in March 2025, RIC will make required disclosure of certain side letters to all investors (and in certain cases, to prospective investors) in accordance with the new Private Fund Rule. Side letters are negotiated at the time of the relevant limited partner’s capital commitment, and once invested in a Fund, limited partners generally cannot impose additional investment guidelines or restrictions on such Fund. There can be no assurance that the side letter rights granted to one or more limited partners will not in certain cases disadvantage other limited partners. RIC does not participate in wrap fee programs. As of December 31, 2023, RIC managed $590,900,000 of regulatory assets under management, all of which are managed on a discretionary basis. RIC does not manage any investments on a non- discretionary basis. Principal Owners/Ownership Structure Rock Island Capital, LLC is owned by its four principals, Alfred Mattaliano, Michael Nugent, Brian Bastedo and Daniel Alport. For more information about RIC’s owners and executive officers, see RIC’s Form ADV Part 1, Schedule A.
