ITEM 5: FEES AND COMPENSATION GEF receives management fees and carried interest in connection with providing investment advisory services to the Funds. Fees are initially described in each Fund’s PPM, and subsequently are detailed in each Fund’s Governing Documents. Fees are negotiable at the sole discretion of GEF prior to entering into such agreements. Sometimes, a percentage of other fees payable to GEF may reduce the Annual Fee owed by a Fund to GEF. Investors in the Funds also bear certain Fund expenses as further described below. Employees of GEF and its relying advisors who are investors in Funds generally do not pay these fees, or the amount of such fees may be substantially reduced. With respect to Co-Investment Funds, any fees received by GEF are generally negotiated at the time of formation of such Co-Investment Fund, but may include commitment-based fees, management fees, performance-based fees or allocations, expense reimbursements, or other administrative fees similar to those described below relating to the Funds. In certain cases, fees charged to Co-Investment Funds may be substantially reduced. Management Fees GEF is generally compensated for its advisory services through an annual fee, payable quarterly in advance until the termination of the respective Fund, based on a percentage of each Fund’s assets under management that is usually deducted from a Fund’s assets (the “Annual Fee”). Annual Fees range from 1.0% to 2.0% per annum (“Annual Fee Percentage”). Typically, the Annual Fee is calculated during the initial period of a Fund’s lifecycle by determining such Fund’s committed capital and multiplying such amount by the Annual Fee Percentage. Subsequently, such Fund’s Annual Fee is usually determined by multiplying the capital invested by such Fund by the Annual Fee Percentage. In some cases, the Annual Fee is a flat negotiated rate. Certain funds that have completed the disposition of their portfolio investments and are in liquidation or dissolution are no longer subject to ongoing management fees. Termination of the management agreement by any Fund with its manager during a fiscal quarter may result in a refund of the unearned portion of the fee. Either party to the management agreement may terminate it. All advisory agreements expressly provide that the Advisers Act governs the relationship between GEF and the respective Fund. Carried Interest In addition, GEF is generally compensated with a participation in profits from Funds (the “Carried Interest Fee”) that is typically 20% after meeting certain thresholds, but in certain cases, such as for Co-Investment Funds or other unique circumstances, may be higher or lower. The Carried Interest Fee is typically payable only after a Fund’s investors have been repaid their invested capital and a priority return on that capital. The Carried Interest Fee is also deducted from a Fund’s assets. Additionally, certain Funds or investments within Funds may include a profits interest structured as a waterfall allocation within the Fund as a whole or a participation in profits at the investment level. This type of allocation operates similarly to a traditional carried interest plan but is calculated and distributed based on returns of designated investments as specified in a Fund’s governing documents. The Carried Interest Fee is also deducted from a Fund’s assets. Other Fees and Expenses Also initially described in each Fund’s PPM and subsequently detailed in the respective Fund’s Governing Documents are any expenses that may be charged to the Fund. Each Fund generally bears the offering and organizational expenses incurred in connection with its organization, including any related legal, accounting, regulatory, travel, or other expenses, subject to a cap set forth in the Fund’s Governing Documents. On an ongoing basis, the Fund will pay all expenses relating to its operation and proposed or actual investments, to the extent not otherwise paid by portfolio companies. These expenses may include legal, accounting, administration, investment structuring, investment banking, consulting, research, brokerage, custody, transfer, registration, insurance, indemnification, litigation, limited partner advisory committee, interest, taxes, investment-related travel costs (including for prospective, consummated and unconsummated transactions), interest on fees and expenses arising out of all borrowings made by such Fund, regulatory, other governmental, extraordinary expense and other similar fees and expenses. Subject to its Governing Documents, the Fund generally will bear all sourcing and diligence expenses incurred with respect to the pursuit of particular investments that are never actually consummated. Examples of such “broken deal” expenses include fees and expenses of any legal, financial, accounting, consulting, or other advisors, and any travel and accommodation expenses. All of such expenses generally are borne pro rata by investors in the applicable Fund. The expenses described do not include every possible expense a Fund may incur. Investors should review the applicable Governing Documents and PPM for further details. Funds are not responsible, however, for GEF’s expenses in connection with maintaining and operating its offices and certain other aspects of GEF’s advisory business (e.g., expenses for employee compensation, rent, utilities, general office expenses, general publication and research subscriptions that are not deal-specific, information technology services, and accounting expenses incurred solely for GEF). In addition to the Annual Fee and Carried Interest Fee, GEF and its affiliates may receive monitoring fees, transaction fees, or other similar fees as more fully specified in a Fund’s Governing Documents. Such fees may or may not offset management fees, depending upon the Fund’s Governing Documents. GEF may have a conflict of interest to the extent, for example, it is ... |

ITEM 7: TYPES OF CLIENTS GEF provides investment advisory services solely to our actively managed Funds, as noted above. Investors participating in Funds may include individuals, banks or thrift institutions, sovereign wealth funds, pension and profit-sharing plans, trusts, estates, charitable organizations or other corporations or business entities and also may include, directly or indirectly, principals or other employees, shareholders or affiliates of GEF. Each Fund has a minimum commitment amount for prospective investors, typically $5 million, unless waived by GEF. GEF also offers, from time to time, investment opportunities to qualified professional investment personnel. Fund interests are offered and sold generally to investors that are (i) “accredited investors” as defined under Regulation D of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended and (ii) “qualified clients” as defined under the Advisers Act or other “knowledgeable employees” of GEF. Certain funds previously advised by GEF have completed the disposition of their portfolio investments and are in liquidation or dissolution. GEF does not provide investment advisory services to such entities, and they are not treated as clients for purposes of this brochure. Certain investors in the Funds have negotiated additional provisions related to their particular investment criteria or needs in a side letter agreement (“Side Letter”) or other writing with the general partner of that Fund, which have the effect of establishing rights under, or altering or supplementing, the terms of such Fund’s Governing Documents, in respect of the investor to whom such letter or writing is addressed. For example, such rights could relate to co-investment opportunities, waiving or reducing fees, the ability to opt-out of certain investments or appointing a representative to the limited partner advisory committee. Any rights established, or any terms altered or supplemented, will govern only that GEF Fund investor and not the Fund as a whole. |
