OpenGate Capital Management, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and SEC-
registered investment adviser (the “Adviser”), and its affiliated investment advisers provide
investment advisory services to investment funds privately offered to qualified investors in the
United States and elsewhere. The Adviser was founded in April 2012 and had primarily been
involved with investing capital contributed by the Adviser’s personnel. The Adviser registered
with the SEC as an investment adviser in 2015.
The Adviser’s clients include (i) OpenGate Capital Partners I, LP and OpenGate Capital

(“Executive Fund I”) and OGCP II Employee Co-Invest, LP (“Executive Fund II,” and, together
with Executive Fund I and any future investment vehicles formed to invest capital on behalf of the
Adviser’s personnel and other related parties, the “Executive Funds”). Each of Fund I, the Fund

Each of the Fund II Delaware AIVs and Fund III are Delaware limited partnerships.
The following general partner entities are affiliated with the Adviser:
• OpenGate Capital Partners GP I, LP, a Cayman Islands exempted limited

Partners, “OpenGate”), that is the general partner of Fund III.
Each of the General Partners listed above is subject to the Advisers Act pursuant to the
Adviser’s registration in accordance with SEC guidance. This Brochure also describes the
business practices of the General Partners, which operate as a single advisory business together
with the Adviser.
The Funds are private equity funds that invest through negotiated transactions in operating
entities, generally referred to herein as “portfolio companies.” OpenGate’s investment advisory
services to the Funds consist of identifying and evaluating investment opportunities, negotiating
the terms of investments, managing and monitoring investments and achieving dispositions for
such investments. Although investments are made predominantly in non-public companies,
investments in public companies are permitted. Where such investments consist of portfolio
companies, the senior principals or other personnel of OpenGate or
its affiliates generally serve on
such portfolio companies’ respective boards of directors or otherwise act to influence control over
management of portfolio companies in which the Funds have invested.
OpenGate’s advisory services for the Funds are detailed in the relevant private placement
memoranda or other offering documents (each, a “Memorandum”) and limited partnership or
other operating agreements of the Funds (each, a “Partnership Agreement,” and, together with
any relevant Memorandum, the “Governing Documents”) and are further described below under
“Methods of Analysis, Investment Strategies and Risk of Loss.” Investors in the Funds participate
in the overall investment program for the applicable Fund, but in certain limited circumstances
have the right to elect to be excused from a particular investment due to legal, regulatory or other
agreed-upon circumstances pursuant to the Governing Documents; for the avoidance of doubt,
such arrangements generally do not and will not create an adviser-client relationship between
OpenGate and any investor. The Funds or the General Partners generally have entered into side
letters or other similar agreements (“Side Letters”) with certain investors that have the effect of
establishing rights (including economic or other terms) under, or altering or supplementing the
terms of, the Governing Documents with respect to such investors.
Additionally, as permitted by the Governing Documents, OpenGate has the authority to
provide (or agree to provide) investment or co-investment opportunities (including the opportunity
to participate in co-invest vehicles) to certain investors or other persons, including other sponsors,
market participants, finders, consultants and other services providers, members of portfolio
company management teams or personnel, OpenGate’s personnel and/or certain other persons
associated with OpenGate and/or its affiliates (e.g., a vehicle formed by OpenGate’s principals to
co-invest alongside a particular Fund’s transactions). Such co-investments, including through an
Executive Fund, typically involve investment and disposal of interests in the applicable portfolio
company at the same time and on the same terms as the Fund making the investment. However,
for strategic and other reasons, a co-investor or co-investment vehicle may purchase a portion of
an investment from one or more Funds after such Funds have consummated their investment in
the portfolio company (also known as a post-closing sell-down or transfer), which generally will
have been funded through Fund investor capital contributions and/or use of a Fund credit facility.
Any such purchase from a Fund by a co-investor or co-invest vehicle generally occurs within six
(6) months after the Fund’s completion of the investment to avoid any changes in valuation of the
investment. The General Partner typically employs a subscription facility maintained by each of
the Funds to provide interim financing in connection with the acquisition of a portfolio company
by such Fund and its related Executive Fund (if any), with each Fund and its related Executive
Fund bearing their pro rata share of any interest incurred in connection therewith. Where
appropriate, and in OpenGate’s sole discretion, OpenGate will seek to negotiate such interest and
related costs with such co-investors. However, to the extent any amounts are not so charged or
reimbursed (including charges or reimbursements required pursuant to applicable law), they
generally will be borne by the relevant Fund.
As of December 31, 2023, OpenGate had approximately $1,506,992,871 billion in
regulatory assets under management on a discretionary basis. OpenGate is principally owned by
Andrew Nikou.
