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

Item 5: Fees and Compensation In general, Gemspring receives a management fee and each General Partner is entitled to carried interest in connection with the provision of advisory services to its clients. Gemspring or other Firm entities or affiliates receive additional compensation in connection with management and other services performed for Portfolio Companies of the Funds and such additional compensation will offset in whole or in part the Management Fees (as defined below) otherwise payable to Gemspring to the extent provided by the Governing Documents. In addition, in certain circumstances the Firm receives compensation for management and other services performed in connection with co-investments made in portfolio investments of the Funds. Investors in a Fund also bear certain expenses. Item 5.A. During the investment period, each of the Buyout Funds and Growth Solutions Funds pays its General Partner, quarterly in advance, an annual management fee (the “Gemspring Management Fee”) equal to 2% on an annual basis of aggregate non-affiliated investor capital commitments (as it pertains to each Fund, “Commitments”). An investor participating in a Gemspring Fund’s closing after such Fund’s effective date (as further described in such Fund’s Partnership Agreement, the “Effective Date”) bears the Gemspring Management Fee from such Fund’s effective date and, in addition, is charged an amount equal to the product of (i) the prime rate plus 2% per annum multiplied by (ii) the amount of such assessed Gemspring Management Fee, calculated from the date such Gemspring Management Fee payments would have been due if such investor was admitted for its full Commitment on or prior to such Fund’s effective date. Upon a date specified in the Governing Documents for such Funds (the “Stepdown Date”), such Gemspring Management Fee will be reduced and will equal 2% of the non-affiliated investor aggregate investment contributions, less certain amounts, and subject to the calculation specified in that Fund’s Partnership Agreement. The Gemspring General Partners have elected to waive a portion of the Gemspring Management Fee in each of the Buyout Funds and Growth Solutions Funds in exchange for a reduction in the General Partner’s cash capital contribution obligation and / or an increase in the General Partner’s interest in the relevant Gemspring Fund’s profits. The Gemspring Management Fee commences as of the Effective Date based on aggregate Commitments, regardless of when an investor is actually admitted. Where the Governing Documents calculate Gemspring Management Fees based on the amount of Commitments or the amount of investment contributions, the amount of Gemspring Management Fees generally will not be reduced based on reductions in investment value, except where specified by the relevant Governing Documents. As a general matter, Gemspring Management Fees will be payable during term extensions unless otherwise agreed with investors. Except as otherwise agreed, each General Partner and investors who are affiliates, employees or other designees of such General Partner are not subject to carried interest or the Gemspring Management Fee. The Goliath Fund pays its General Partner, quarterly in advance, an annual management fee (the “Goliath Management Fee” and together with the Gemspring Management Fee, the “Management Fees”) equal to 1% on an annual basis of the aggregate amount of investment contributions made to the Goliath Fund with respect to investments that have not been disposed of or permanently written down by its General Partner due to a permanent impairment of value, as set forth in the Partnership Agreement of the Goliath Fund. As is generally the case in private equity funds, the Governing Documents provide that any such Fund’s Management Fee will be calculated and charged on a basis that is not tied to the Fund’s then-current net asset value. As further specified in such Governing Documents, with the exception of the Goliath Fund, from the effective date of the relevant Fund until the Stepdown Date, Management Fees generally will be charged based on a formula tied to the amount of the relevant Fund’s aggregate commitments. Further, after the Stepdown Date for the relevant Fund, Management Fees generally will be charged and calculated based on a formula tied to the amount of investment contributions (including, where applicable, any relevant Fund borrowing component) (including interest expenses) made by such Fund relating to such Fund’s aggregate investment(s) in its portfolio companies, excluding those that have been written down in the manner described in the relevant Governing Documents (such investments, “Impaired Value Investments”) or realized. Due to differences in criteria set forth in their respective Governing Documents, where more than one Fund participates in an investment, there is the possibility that an investment will become an Impaired Value Investment for purposes of one Fund’s Governing Documents but not those of one or more other Funds. Under the Governing Documents, where the fair market value of an investment exceeds the total amount of investment contributions relating to such investment, post-Stepdown Date Management Fees for the relevant Fund will not be calculated based upon such appreciated value, and will instead continue to be calculated based on the amount of applicable investment contributions. Conversely, the Governing Documents for the relevant Fund do not require Management Fees to be reduced or refunded following the occurrence of a writedown, decrease (including a significant decrease) in fair market value or other event not constituting a complete realization, such as a partial sale or disposition, reorganization, recapitalization (including recapitalizations involving dividends), roll-over investment in connection with a sale or dividend distribution, except in the case of investments meeting the relevant Impaired Value Investment standard ... |

Item 7: Types of Clients The Firm provides discretionary investment management services solely to its Fund clients, and references throughout this Brochure to “clients” and to the Firm’s related duties to and practices on behalf of its clients and/or investors should be construed accordingly. The Funds generally include investment partnerships or other investment entities formed under U.S. or non-U.S. laws and operated as exempt investment pools under the U.S. Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder (the “Company Act”). The investors participating in the Funds generally include banks or thrift institutions, other investment entities, university endowments, sovereign wealth funds, family offices, high- net worth individuals, pension and profit-sharing plans, trusts, estates or charitable organizations or other corporations or business entities and often include, directly or indirectly, principals or other employees of the Firm and its affiliates and members of their families, members of the Executive Advisors Group or other Service Providers retained by the Firm, as well as executives of portfolio companies. The relevant General Partner also generally is permitted to establish Funds that are alternative investment vehicles in order to permit certain investors to participate in one or more particular investment opportunities in a manner desirable for tax, regulatory or other reasons. Alternative investment vehicle sponsors generally have limited discretion to invest the assets of these vehicles independent of limitations or other procedures set forth in the organizational documents of such vehicles and the Governing Documents of the related Fund. The minimum initial capital commitment generally required for an investor in a Fund is set forth in each Fund’s offering documents (subject to the relevant General Partner’s discretion to accept a lesser amount). Generally, investors in the Funds must be “accredited investors,” as defined in Regulation D promulgated under the U.S. Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder (“Securities Act”), and “qualified purchasers” as that term is defined under the Company Act (or qualified knowledgeable Firm personnel), unless such requirements are waived in the discretion of the relevant Fund’s General Partner. |
