| Fees and Compensation — Form ADV Part 2A (3/31/2026) [Brochure] |
|---|
Item 5. Fees and Compensation The Funds or Investors typically pay Energize management fees equal to 2% annually based on the limited partners’ commitments or net investment contributions (depending on whether the Fund is within its respective investment period) calculated and payable quarterly in advance. Energize and/or affiliated entities typically earn 20% carried interest, which is based on a share of the realized net profits of investments made by the Funds. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the management fees and carried interest may vary from Fund to Fund and are described in detail in the Governing Documents of each Fund and/or the legal terms of the investment. See “Item 6 – Performance-Based Fees and Side-by-Side Management” below for more details concerning performance-based compensation. The Funds are responsible for and shall pay all expenses relating to their formation, ownership and operation of their assets, and the operation of the Funds. These expenses will vary, but include, or may in the future include, fees associated with research and due diligence of investments, making or selling portfolio investments, legal and accounting fees, taxes, commissions and brokerage fees, debt service and interest, registration expenses, fees to government regulatory agencies, litigation, and other expenses such as team travel associated with monitoring, due diligence, and special projects of portfolio companies held by the Funds. Energize and/or other affiliates may be reimbursed for all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred on behalf of the Funds. Any applicable SPVs or co-investment vehicles are allocated their fair share of applicable expenses when deemed appropriate. Subject to the provisions of the applicable agreement with its portfolio companies, Energize and its affiliate Energize EDGE LLC (“Energize EDGE”) are in certain circumstances also entitled to service fees and expense reimbursements in connection with additional services Energize provides to portfolio companies. The Energize team may incur certain costs associated with projects completed in the normal course of business in working with and developing its portfolio companies. Such direct and out-of-pocket costs may be passed to the applicable Funds. With respect to Energize EDGE, portfolio companies may choose to engage Energize EDGE by entering into a mutually agreed upon engagement for operating or special projects outside of normal portfolio investment management activities. Energize expects that consulting fees and expenses related to services provided by Energize EDGE will be paid directly by the applicable portfolio company, which would include, without limitation (i) compensation, consulting and/or retainer fees, salary, bonuses, other compensation and/or benefits provided to Energize EDGE or any of its members, officers, employees, consultants, or other persons engaged by Energize EDGE and (ii) consultants or other persons engaged by Energize EDGE, in each case, to the extent related to a Fund or any of its portfolio companies or prospective portfolio companies. Energize EDGE engages directly with the portfolio companies, and does not collect fees or reimbursement from the Funds. Certain fees received by Energize or an affiliate are subject to a management fee offset. Such fees include any commitment, breakup, directors, officers, advisory, management, transaction, topping, break-up or other fees. For full details regarding fees subject to offset, please refer to the relevant Governing Documents. Certain fees received by Energize or an affiliate do not offset management fees. Such fees include fees, expenses, compensation, or other amounts received by (a) any strategic advisor or any member of the strategic advisory committee, (b) ECH or its affiliates in connection with the use of ECH’s or any of its affiliates’ facilities or assets by a portfolio company and (c) any related person of Energize or ECH in connection with technical, operational or other services provided to a portfolio company, including, without limitation any such services provided by Energize EDGE or any of its members, officers, employees, consultants or other persons engaged by Energize EDGE. For more details regarding all fees and expenses incurred by the Funds, including any applicable fee offsets, please refer to the relevant Governing Documents. |

Item 7. Types of Clients Energize provides advisory services to the Funds. The minimum capital commitment for an Investor to subscribe to a Fund is separately determined for each Fund and is outlined in the respective Governing Documents. Energize maintains discretion to accept less the stated minimum investment threshold. In addition, the Funds may enter into separate agreements, commonly referred to as “side letters”, with certain Investors, to waive certain terms, or allow such Investors to invest on different terms than those specifically described in the Governing Documents. Under certain circumstances, these agreements could create preferences or priorities for such Investors with respect to others. Investors in the Funds may include, but are not limited to, high-net-worth individuals, family offices, trusts, investment funds, corporate entities and institutional investors. |
