Item 5 – Fees and Compensation Kainos and its affiliated General Partners receive fees and compensation in exchange for advisory services provided to the Funds, including management fees, carried interest, additional compensation in connection with management services performed for the portfolio companies of the Funds and reimbursements from portfolio companies for certain expenses advanced on their behalf. The Funds are also responsible for bearing certain expenses as detailed below and in each Fund’s Governing Documents. Differences exist from Fund to Fund, and certain Funds do not charge certain fees, compensation or expenses that other Funds charge or charge them in different amounts. The following is a general description of fees, compensation and expenses of the Funds. Investors should refer to the Governing Documents of the applicable Fund for a complete understanding of how we are compensated for our advisory services. The information contained herein is a summary only and is qualified in its entirety by such documents. Management Fees The Fund management fee (“Management Fee”) is charged at a maximum annual rate of 1.9% of the capital commitments of any non-affiliated investor and is generally payable quarterly in advance (or at a later date at the Firm’s discretion) and pro-rated for any period that is less than a full calendar quarter. Generally, as described in the relevant Governing Documents, Management Fees are initially calculated based on aggregate non-affiliated investor commitments. Thereafter, Management Fees are calculated based on the amount of the aggregate non-affiliated investor funded commitments for remaining investments, subject to various other factors. The amount of Management Fees generally will not correspond with fluctuations in the net asset value of individual investments, aggregate investments in a portfolio company or of a Fund, including following the stepdown date, and will not be reduced in connection with any write-downs (whether temporary or permanent), except in the case of investments that have been permanently written down to zero. Permanent write-down determinations are made in the discretion of the valuation committee in accordance with the relevant Governing Documents and the Firm’s valuation policy. Except where the Governing Documents expressly provide to the contrary, Management Fees will not be reduced (in whole or in part) in the case of partial distributions, partial sales, reorganizations, restructurings, roll-over investments or similar transactions, in each case in circumstances that do not result in the complete disposition of the relevant Fund’s interest therein, and even in cases where the value of such Fund’s investment or ownership percentage in a portfolio company has been reduced as a result of such transaction. In addition, Management Fees generally will not be reimbursed or refunded under the Governing Documents in the event of realizations, dispositions or partial write-downs that occur partway through the relevant calculation period. In most circumstances, the post step-down Management Fee base will include capitalized transaction-specific fees and expenses of unrealized investments, including transaction fees charged by Kainos in connection with the investment, which poses a conflict of interest in that the inclusion of such fees and expenses results in a higher Management Fee than if such transaction fees and expenses were not capitalized into the asset base. All Management Fees were negotiated with the Fund’s investors during the fundraising period of the applicable Fund and generally are not subject to negotiation thereafter. Generally, investors participating in a subsequent closing after the initial closing of a Fund are responsible for paying the Management Fee as of the date of the initial closing of such Fund, plus an interest equivalent amount, as applicable. In addition, Management Fees are payable during term extensions unless otherwise noticed to investors. The Management Fees, other fees and carried interest distributions are generally subject to waiver or reduction by us in our sole discretion, both voluntarily and on a negotiated basis with selected Funds and selected investors in each Fund, and as described more fully in each Fund’s Governing Documents. At times, fees differ from one Fund to another, as well as among investors in the same Fund. In particular, some Funds do not pay Management Fees and the Management Fee for certain investors in the Funds who are current or former employees of Kainos or its affiliates, or family members of such current or former employees, are subject to waiver at our discretion (although such investors generally pay their pro rata share of certain Fund expenses). The Management Fees paid by a Fund are generally reduced by (i) the amount of fees paid by a Fund to persons acting as a placement agent in connection with the offer and sale of interests in such Fund to certain potential investors, (ii) fees incurred by Kainos in connection with the organization of a Fund that exceed a limit specified in such Fund’s Governing Documents and (iii) a designated amount of the professional services fees, break-up fees, monitoring fees, directors’ fees and other similar fees received in connection with the activities of the Funds, the amount of which is paid by the Funds (directly, or indirectly by the portfolio companies) and determined by Kainos on a transaction-by- transaction basis, subject to each Fund’s Governing Documents. Any supplemental fees with respect to an investment or potential investment (including a transaction not consummated) are allocated to a Fund (and offset against the Management Fee) only to the extent of the Fund’s relative ownership (or anticipated ownership) of such investment or potential investment, except as otherwise set forth in the Governing Documents. Accordingly, a Fund will, in most such cases, only benefit from the ... |

Item 7 – Types of Clients We provide discretionary investment advice solely to private equity funds (including main funds and executive funds) and co-investment funds. The Funds are not registered or required to be registered under the Investment Company Act; are not made available to the general public; their securities are not registered or required to be registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended; and Fund interests are privately placed to qualified investors. Qualified investors include individuals or entities to which Fund interests are permitted to be sold, which generally include (i) in the United States, people or organizations who meet certain net worth, income and/or financial sophistication requirements or (ii) in other countries, as permitted by the relevant securities laws in such jurisdiction and in compliance with any foreign offering provisions applicable to Kainos and/or the Funds. Kainos does not have a minimum size for a Fund, but minimum investment commitments will, on occasion, be established for investors in the Fund. The General Partners of the Funds, subject to their sole discretion, sometimes permit investments below the minimum amounts set forth in the Governing Documents of such Fund. Kainos’ investors are sophisticated investors, consisting of high net worth individuals and family office vehicles, corporations, insurance companies, fund of funds vehicles, foundations and trusts and public and private pension plans. The requirements for investing in a Fund vary among the Funds and are set forth in the Governing Documents of each Fund. All Funds impose requirements that third-party investors meet certain suitability requirements and either qualify as (i) “accredited investors” under the Securities Act of 1933, (ii) “qualified clients” under the Advisers Act, (iii) participants in an employee stock purchase plan, and/or (iv) “qualified purchasers” or “knowledgeable employees” under the Investment Company Act. Certain Funds have investors who are not qualified clients, but investors in these Funds do not pay Carried Interest. Kainos typically establishes an aggregation vehicle for each investment opportunity, which serves to consolidate co-investment equity. Opportunities to participate in a co-investment arise when Kainos determines in its discretion that (i) an investment requires additional capital, (ii) all or a portion of the applicable opportunity is not required to be offered to a Fund, (iii) the full investment opportunity is not appropriate for a Fund, whether due to concentration restrictions contained in the Fund’s Governing Documents or otherwise, or (iv) we believe the Fund will benefit from the participation of the co-investor(s). Such determinations are based on the provisions of the applicable Governing Documents, side letter agreements, agreements with lenders and such other factors as Kainos will consider in its sole discretion, including those specified in its policies on investment allocation and co- investments. Subject to any restrictions contained in the Governing Documents of the relevant Fund or any side letter or other terms negotiated with respect to such Fund, in general no investor has a right to participate in any co-investment opportunity. Kainos’ exercise of discretion in allocating co- investment opportunities often will not result in proportional allocations among such co-investors and such allocations can be more or less advantageous to some co-investors relative to other co- investors. When co-investment opportunities are permitted, it is possible that the size of the investment opportunity otherwise available to Kainos’ Fund(s) will be less than it would otherwise have been without the inclusion of such co-investors. While one or more investors in the Funds are on occasion invited to co-invest in a Fund’s portfolio companies, Kainos is authorized in its sole discretion to offer any or all of a co-investment opportunity to those that are not investors in the Funds. Co-investment opportunities are made available to select Fund investors and third parties, including, without limitation, management or founders of the applicable portfolio company, co-sponsors, strategic investors, lenders, investment bankers, deal sources (including finders and consultants), other sponsors (including other private equity or venture capital firms), service providers, third-party professionals, sector experts, strategic advisors, or other persons or entities affiliated, associated or otherwise known to Kainos or its personnel. Certain service providers, including lenders and individuals who source transactions, have in the past and are expected in the future to negotiate co-investment rights or co-investment priority rights as a component of their compensation in connection with the services provided. In certain cases, determinations to allocate such amounts or investment opportunities to vendors or service providers will be made prior to the determination of the availability of opportunity for other co-investors, and as such generally will decrease the amount of co-investment opportunities available. Kainos can cause some co-investors in a Co-Investment Fund to bear a Management Fee, Carried Interest or other fees while not imposing a Management Fee, Carried Interest or other fees (or imposing different fees) on other co-investors. Some co-investors are provided a board seat or observer rights at a Kainos portfolio company. Such positions provide such persons with voting rights, access to information and potentially the ability to influence the operations and decision- making of the portfolio company that are not necessarily available to other investors. Co-investments typically involve investment and disposal of interests in the applicable portfolio company at substantially the same time and on substantially the same terms as a Fund making the ... |
