Item 5 – Fees and Compensation
The Dryden Funds typically pay a quarterly asset fee plus an annual incentive fee (i.e., a performance-based fee

as more fully described in the relevant fund offering documents.
Dryden Capital is the investment adviser to the Dryden Funds, including (i) Dryden Capital Fund, LP ("DCF"), a

registration under section 3(c)(1) of the Investment Company Act of 1940. Dryden Capital GP, LLC, a related
company under common control and ownership with Dryden Capital, is the General Partner to DCF and DSOF, the
Dryden Funds. The annual asset-based portion of the fee is 1.5% for DCF, and the annual incentive fee is 20%. The
annual asset-based portion of the fee is 1.0% for DSOF, and the annual incentive fee is 10%.

Form ADV Part 2A Brochure
Where Dryden Capital serves as an adviser or sub-adviser to an unaffiliated fund or SMA, it may negotiate
different fee structures and will be set forth in the relevant offering memorandum, investment management
agreement, or equivalent.
For SMAs, Dryden Capital generally receives asset-based management fees comparable to those paid by the
Dryden Funds; however, fee structures may be subject to negotiation and may vary from those paid by the Dryden
Funds. Dryden Capital may waive or modify its investment management fees at its discretion. Investment
management fees are paid directly to Dryden Capital by the client upon receipt of an invoice from Dryden Capital.
SMA accounts are not solicited to invest and are not invested in Dryden Funds.
Fund and SMA accounts initiated or terminated during a calendar quarter will be charged a prorated fee. Upon
termination of an account, any prepaid, unearned fees will be promptly refunded, and any earned, unpaid fees
will be due and payable. Investors in the Dryden Funds are subject to early withdrawal fees as more fully described
in the relevant offering documents.
Operational Expenses of the Fund
In addition to the management and incentive fees payable to Dryden Capital, the investors in the Dryden Funds
will bear the costs and expenses related to the funds' investments, operations, and administration, including,
without limitation: (i) interest expenses, (ii) other transactional charges, including commissions, (iii) expenses
relating to cash management, (iv) legal, compliance, audit, accounting, tax and custodial fees and expenses and
(vi) fees and expenses of the fund administrator, as more fully described in the offering materials for each fund.
Other Fees for Separately Managed Accounts (SMAs)
Dryden Capital provides investment advisory services to institutional clients through SMAs. SMAs typically bear
certain expenses in addition to investment advisory fees, including custodial fees and brokerage costs. Dryden
Capital receives no payment or remuneration from clients with respect to such expenses (except as described in |
