The MC III Fund, the MC N Fund, the MC SM Fund, Hygieia, the MC IV Fund and MC SN Fund
will invest (directly or indirectly) primarily in first and second lien senior secured debt of middle
market companies, and will also invest in secondary market transactions in loans, equity of
companies in which it makes a debt investment and securities issued by vehicles managed by
MCCP (each a “MC III Portfolio Investment”, and collectively, the “MC III Portfolio

and collectively, the “Portfolio Investments”).
One or more of the MC Fund may hold “plan assets” of plan investors subject to Title I of
the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended (“ERISA”) or Section 4975 of
the Code where MCCP will act as a fiduciary with respect thereto.
The MC Fund will primarily target companies with $10 million or more of annual EBITDA
that are in need of creative and total capital solutions (including committed acquisition lines and
follow-on financings) ranging from $40 to $350 million or more.
We provide investment management, advisory and certain administrative services, and
other related services (collectively, the “investment advisory services”) typically pursuant to an
investment management agreement or other document that describes the terms of the engagement
(each, an “IMA”).
The principal owner of each of MCCP and AAM is Ashok Nayyar, who owns his respective
interests in MCCP through one or more entities. AAM is a relying adviser of MCCP.
B. Description of Advisory Services
In addition to assisting with day-to-day operations and, as more fully described in Item 8,
“Methods of Analysis, Investment Strategies and Risk of Loss” below, the investment advisory
services we provide to Clients include:
(i) analyzing and investigating potential portfolio companies and potential dispositions
of Portfolio Investments;
(ii) originating, structuring, documenting, managing and disposing of Portfolio
Investments; and
(iii) monitoring the performance of portfolio companies.
We specialize in investment advisory services related to investments primarily in first lien
and second lien senior secured debt to middle market companies (as described below). We may
also provide investment advisory services related to investments in unitranche debt, mezzanine
debt, secondary market transactions, debtor-in-possession financings, and other secured or
unsecured debt, and equity securities, options, warrants and similar equity securities and rights, in
each case to or in middle market companies. We use the term “middle-market” to refer to
companies with annual revenues between $10 million and $1 billion, EBITDA between $10 million
and $100 million or more and enterprise values ranging from $75 million to $750 million.
AAM expects to provide investment management services, including sponsoring and
managing CLOs, which pooled investment vehicles are AAM’s direct Clients (as such term is
defined above). AAM may also hold some securities in CLOs which it manages, as markets often
encourage CLO managers (or controlled affiliates thereof) to do so, in each new CLO securitization
issued.
