ITEM 5: FEES AND COMPENSATION Below is a general summary of how GEF Capital Partners is compensated by its clients. Existing and prospective investors should refer to a Fund’s Governing Documents for specific information related to that Fund. Fees are negotiable in the sole discretion of GEF Capital Partners before entering into such agreements. GEF Capital Partners receives management fees, portfolio company monitoring fees and performance‐based fees, or “carried interest,” in connection with providing investment advisory services to the Funds. Management fees generally range from 1.0% to 2.0% of either an investor’s capital commitment amount or invested amount, and the amount of management fees charged by GEF Capital Partners is often reduced upon the end of the commitment period. In certain instances, management fees are determined based on an annual budget in consultation with a Fund’s investors. In other instances, management fees may be payable only on certain types or portions of commitments by investors. Portfolio company monitoring fees, which are charged by GEF Capital Partners to certain portfolio companies in certain Funds, vary from Fund to Fund and may either be fixed or based on a formula. Portfolio company monitoring fees may sometimes be charged in addition to management fees and may sometimes partially or fully reduce the management fees charged to clients. The general partner, managing member or analogous controlling entity of the Funds usually receives an incentive payment, which is typically 20% of distributions from investments determined after investors have received 100% of their capital contributions for investments and Fund expenses, as well a preferred return, which is typically 8%, but for certain Funds or pursuant to certain side letters or other agreements, the incentive payment may be less than 20%. GEF Capital Partners charges the management fees and portfolio company monitoring fees described above every quarter, in advance. Fund investors generally pay management fees via capital contributions called by GEF Capital Partners, or GEF Capital Partners deducts the applicable amount from distributions, based on an investor’s aggregate capital commitment to a Fund. Investments in the Funds are generally illiquid, and investors in the Funds cannot generally redeem their interests. If a Fund’s advisory agreement under which management fees are paid is terminated before the end of a billing period, GEF Capital Partners will return to the Fund any paid but unearned portion of the fee. In general, management fees and portfolio company monitoring fees are pro‐rated from the date of termination to the end of the period to which the advance fee applied. The carried interest is distributed to GEF Capital Partners in accordance with the terms of the applicable Governing Documents of the Fund. Employees of GEF Capital Partners, its relying advisers and its affiliates who are investors in Funds may not pay management fees or carried interest, or the amount of such fees may be substantially reduced or waived entirely in the sole discretion of GEF Capital Partners or as otherwise set forth in the applicable Governing Documents. Investors in the Funds also bear certain Other Fees and Fund expenses in accordance with the Governing Documents, as further described below. Other Fees and Expenses Other Fees In addition to the management fees, portfolio company monitoring fees, and performance‐ based fees described above, GEF Capital Partners and its affiliates may receive transaction fees or other similar fees as more fully specified in a Fund’s Governing Documents. Examples of such other fees include break‐up, directors’, organizational, setup, advisory, investment banking, underwriting, syndication and other similar fees in connection with the purchase, monitoring or disposition of investments or from unconsummated transactions, including warrants, options, derivatives, and other rights in respect of securities owned by GEF Capital Partners’ Funds. Such fees may or may not offset management fees, depending upon the client’s Governing Documents. Clients that do not pay management fees do not receive the benefit of such offsets or otherwise share in such fee income. GEF Capital Partners may have a conflict of interest to the extent, for example, it is incentivized to make an investment to earn a transaction fee or provide a service to a particular portfolio company to earn a director or monitoring fee. However, we believe that this potential conflict of interest is mitigated in certain instances by the management fee offset mechanic described above and the substantial equity commitment made by GEF Capital Partners and/or its principals in each of the Funds. On occasion, GEF Capital Partners personnel or consultants retained by GEF Capital Partners may provide certain management services to (or with respect to) a portfolio company. In other instances, GEF Capital Partners may initially pay these costs and subsequently be reimbursed by the applicable Fund or portfolio company for compensation paid and other fees and expenses incurred by GEF Capital Partners with respect to such persons. Any such compensation or other fees and expenses will not offset management fees. GEF Capital Partners and its personnel can also be expected to receive certain intangible and/or other benefits arising or resulting from their activities on behalf of the Funds, which will not be subject to management fee offsets or otherwise shared with the Funds, their investors and/or portfolio companies. For example, airline travel or hotel stays incurred as fund expenses may result in “miles” or “points” or credit in loyalty or status programs, and such benefits will accrue exclusively to GEF Capital Partners and its personnel (and not to the Funds, their investors and/or portfolio companies) even though the cost of the underlying ... |
