| Fees and Compensation — Form ADV Part 2A (3/31/2026) [Brochure] |

Item 5 – Fees and Compensation Management Fees Except for Amber I, each of the Firebird Funds pays the applicable Advisor a management fee that is calculated as a percentage of assets under management by such Advisor that ranges from 0.5% to 2% of net assets on an annual basis. Fees are generally payable quarterly in advance, calculated and accrued on the first business day of the calendar quarter based on the net asset value as of the last business day of the immediately preceding calendar quarter. Investments in the Funds made by any of the Advisors and/or their affiliates and/or the principals or employees of any of them are generally not subject to the management fee. Each underlying investor in a Fund bears indirectly the fee attributable to that investor’s holdings in the Fund. Fees paid in advance are not refundable. Amber I does not pay Firebird PE a management fee. Amber I pays Amber Management a management fee that is calculated as a percentage of assets under management. Amber Management in turn pays Firebird PE and KJK a portion of the management fee. Amber II pays directly to each of Amber Management II, Firebird PE and KJK a percentage of the management fee. During the initial investment period for each of the Amber Funds, the management fee was calculated as a percentage of assets committed to each Fund. Thereafter the management fee is calculated as a percentage of the Net Asset Value of each of the Amber Funds. The management fee paid by Amber I and Amber II is equal to 1.5 and 2% of net assets, respectively, on an annual basis. Performance-Based Compensation Each Advisor or an affiliate receives a performance-based allocation in compliance with Rule 205-3 under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, as amended (the “Advisers Act”). The performance allocation is typically on an annual basis at the end of each year and is generally equal to between 15% and 20% of the net profits of each Fund, excluding, where applicable, appreciation or depreciation in any Special Situation Investment (as defined in the relevant Fund governing documents), which is only allocated when there is a realization of such Special Situation Investment, as determined by the Advisor, or until the Advisor determines that the Special Situation Investment should no longer be designated as such. The performance allocation is deducted from the account of each underlying Fund investor in the amount attributable to that investor’s holdings in the Fund. The performance allocation is typically subject to a high water mark, so that no performance allocation is made unless the value of client assets has increased since the last prior performance allocation. If the client terminates the investment management agreement, or an underlying investor withdraws its assets from a Fund, the performance allocation will be calculated and payable on the date of termination or withdrawal. Firebird Value Holdings LLC, an affiliate of Firebird Value, is allocated an annual performance allocation from Firebird U.S. Value Fund equal to 30% of the excess of the net realized and unrealized appreciation in net asset value of each investor’s investment over the net appreciation that would have been generated if the balance of an investor’s capital account was indexed to the performance of the fund’s benchmark. The Amber Funds are subject to a typical private equity carried interest. At the end of each calendar year, or in certain instances within sixty days of the disposition of a portfolio investment, each underlying investor’s proportionate share of any net income and/or proceeds from the disposition of portfolio companies will be distributed first, 100% to each investor in the Fund (including the holders of Participating Shares), until the cumulative distributions to each such investor equal the amount of funded commitments to the Fund by such investor, and a preferred return of 6% per annum; then 100% of all distributions to Firebird PE and KJK (either directly or through Amber Management) until they have received an amount equal to 20% of all distributions; and then 80% to each investor in Amber I or Amber II and 20% to Firebird PE and KJK. The amounts received by Firebird PE and Amber Management with respect to Amber I, and by Firebird PE and KJK with respect to Amber II are split one-half each. Fee Differentials In limited circumstances, certain underlying investors in each Firebird Fund, other than the Amber Funds, have other unique arrangements with the applicable Advisor for such Fund, such as preferential fees, liquidity or transparency. For example, principals of the Advisors (other than Firebird PE) do not pay the management fee and are not subject to the performance allocation with respect to their investments in each of the Funds. In addition, investors such as those providing large or initial investments in a Fund may have specially tailored arrangements with respect to their investment in a Fund, for example, reservation of investment capacity or co-investment opportunities. The applicable Advisor may enter into such arrangements without notice to, or the consent of, investors in a Fund, and other investors in the Fund will not be entitled to comparable terms. Payment of Fees The administrator for each Fund (other than the Amber Funds) deducts from the account of each investor subject to such fees the quarterly management fee, prorated if the account was opened during that quarter, and the annual performance allocation, if applicable. Firebird PE does not deduct advisory fees or other expenses directly from the Amber Funds. Payment of fees to Firebird PE for services provided to the Amber Funds are calculated and paid by Amber Management or Amber Management II, as applicable, or their respective administrators. Additional Fees and Expenses In addition to the fees paid to the Advisors, each Fund bears all other expenses related to ... |

Item 7 – Types of Clients The Advisors offer their investment advisory and/or management support services, as applicable, to private investment funds that are exempt from registration under the Investment Company Act.

Investors in the Funds include high net worth individuals; pension and profit-sharing plans; charitable organizations and foundations; corporations, partnerships, LLCs or other businesses; and trusts. Eligibility requirements and minimum investment amounts are set forth in the governing documents for each Fund.
