| Fees and Compensation — Form ADV Part 2A (3/26/2026) [Brochure] |
|---|
Item 5 – Fees and Compensation Lightspeed and its affiliated General Partners receive fees and compensation in exchange for advisory services provided to the Funds, including management fees (defined below), carried interest (defined below) and (in certain limited circumstances) 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. The manner of determining, and the applicable rate of, such fees and compensation differs among Funds, and the following is only a general description. Limited partners should refer to the Governing Documents of the applicable Fund for a complete understanding of how Lightspeed is compensated for its advisory services; the information contained herein is a summary only and is qualified in its entirety by such documents. Management Fees Lightspeed generally charges each Fund a management fee (the “Management Fee”), which is described in the respective Fund’s Governing Documents, and generally calculated as a percentage per annum of the Fund’s aggregate capital commitments, called capital (including amounts borrowed under certain credit facilities, each as of quarter-end), invested capital (typically after the investment period of the relevant Fund) or, in certain limited circumstances, net asset value. As such, 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 except in certain limited circumstances as described in the applicable Fund’s Governing Documents. Management Fees paid by a Fund are generally assessed quarterly in advance from such Fund’s inception through the date of its dissolution. All Management Fees are negotiated with limited partners during the fundraising period of the applicable Fund and are not subject to negotiation thereafter. Generally, limited partners that invest in a Fund after its initial closing are responsible for paying the Management Fee (plus interest) as if they had been admitted at such date of the initial closing of such Fund. In addition, Management Fees are payable during term extensions unless otherwise disclosed to limited partners. The Funds are closed-ended investment vehicles intended for a long-term investment. Accordingly, Management Fees are expected to be paid, except as otherwise described in the relevant Governing Documents, and limited partners generally are not permitted to withdraw or redeem interests in the Funds. The General Partners are permitted, in their sole discretion, to reduce or waive all or a portion of the Management Fee at any time during the life of a Fund. Management Fees can differ from one Fund to another as well as among limited partners in the same Fund. Such differences can arise from the size of a limited partner’s commitment to a Fund, provisions of side letter agreements or other negotiated terms. Management Fees are generally not charged to Lightspeed members, employees or affiliates investing in a Fund (either as direct limited partners or through a General Partner); and other designated limited partners (although in each case, these limited partners generally pay their pro rata share of certain Fund expenses), in each case in the relevant General Partner’s sole discretion. Similarly, limited partners in a co-investment Fund generally pay a reduced Management Fee or none at all on the co-investment portion of their investment (although such co-investors generally pay Management Fees on the main Fund portion of their investment, if applicable, and pay their pro rata share of certain expenses and other administrative fees and costs as described more fully below, see Co-Investment Fees and Expenses). Management Fees will generally be reduced by, as applicable: (i) the amount of fees paid by a Fund to entities or persons acting as a placement agent in connection with the offer and sale of interests in such Fund; (ii) costs incurred by Lightspeed in connection with the organization of a Fund that exceed a limit as specified in such Fund’s Governing Documents; (iii) certain additional fees and compensation with respect to portfolio companies as described in each Fund’s Governing Documents, which generally include consulting fees or director’s fees (not including any stock, options or warrants to the extent consistent with stock, options or warrants granted to directors not affiliated with a General Partner), and (iv) with respect to certain Funds, incentive capital contributions that are made by the limited partners for the benefit of the General Partner, subject to the terms and conditions of the applicable Governing Documents. From time to time, Lightspeed will maintain the amounts associated with fees subject to offset against Management Fees in accounts that bear interest before such amounts are offset. Any such interest does not reduce the Management Fees or otherwise benefit the Funds or their investors. Lightspeed often engages venture partners, operating partners or individuals in a similar role who consult, or otherwise have a strategic relationship, with Lightspeed (each, a “Venture Partner” or “Operating Partner”); any fee income, including any remuneration such as cash, stock, options or warrants (“Fee Income”) received by Venture Partners or Operating Partners do not reduce the Management Fee. Lightspeed also makes investments in other third-party funds that charge their own management fees and expenses which do not generally offset Management Fees; however, such investments in third-party funds are generally subject to limitations described in applicable Governing Documents. Carried Interest In addition, a Fund generally includes a carried interest allocable to its General Partner (“Carried Interest”). The Carried Interest is calculated as a percentage of the Fund’s profits, generally ... |

Item 7 – Types of Clients Lightspeed provides investment advice to its Funds, which are exempt from registration under the Investment Company Act. Lightspeed does not provide investment advice directly to individual investors in the Funds. The Funds limit their respective limited partners to: (i) “accredited investors” as defined in the Securities Act, and (ii) “qualified purchasers” or “knowledgeable employees,” each as defined in the Investment Company Act, or (iii) if applicable, “qualified clients,” as defined in the Advisers Act. Limited partners in the Funds must also meet certain other suitability qualifications prior to making an investment in a Fund. The Funds are not registered or required to be registered under the Investment Company Act and their securities are not registered or required to be registered under the Securities Act. The limited partners participating in the Funds include high net worth individuals, other investment entities, university endowments, family offices, pension and profit-sharing plans, sovereign wealth funds, trusts, estates or charitable organizations, fund of funds, corporations, limited partnerships, limited liability companies or other business entities, or other service providers retained by Lightspeed, and typically include, directly or indirectly, principals, members or other employees of Lightspeed and its affiliates and members of their families. Lightspeed does not currently have a minimum size for a Fund. |
