| Fees and Compensation — Form ADV Part 2A (3/11/2026) [Brochure] |
|---|
Item 5: Fees and Compensation The following is a general description of the fees, compensation, and other expenses of the Funds. Each Fund’s governing documents describe fees, compensation, and expenses in greater detail. Investors should refer to such governing documents of the applicable Fund for a complete understanding of how Lion Equity is compensated for its advisory services. Lion Equity or an affiliate receives a management fee, and the General Partners (or equivalent) receive “Carried Interest” or a performance fee, in each case, from the respective Lion Equity Funds it manages and are non-negotiable. In addition, Lion Equity or an affiliate may receive transaction fees (e.g., retain income fee, commitment, closing, merger and acquisition), advisory fees (e.g., monitoring or management services), or other fees consistent with the Offering Documents in connection with portfolio investments or prospective portfolio investments of a Lion Equity Fund. Management Fee The Funds will pay Lion Equity or an affiliate a fee (the “Management Fee”) which is detailed in each fund’s governing documents. During the Fund’s Investment Period, the Management Fee for the Funds is generally equal to 1.0%-2.0% per annum multiplied by the total committed capital. After the Funds’ Investment Period, the Management Fee for the Funds is generally equal to 1.0%-2.0% per annum multiplied by either (i) the sum of investment contributions related to the current portfolio reduced by permanent write downs or (ii) the lesser of (y) aggregate capital contributions or (z) the net asset value as of the preceding quarterly payment date. Fees are calculated and collected quarterly, either in arrears or in advance as set forth in the applicable Offering Documents. In the case of the termination or dissolution of any Fund, the Management Fee will cease to accrue upon the termination date or the date of the dissolution, and for all periods thereafter through the date of the Fund’s final liquidating distribution. The Fund will pay Lion Equity or affiliate reasonable compensation for its services in connection with the liquidation of the Fund’s assets, if applicable. Carried Interest As more fully described in the applicable Offering Documents, a Fund’s General Partner (or equivalent) will generally receive a Carried Interest with respect to such Fund typically equal to 20%-30% of realized profits after (i) the investors have received a return of their capital, plus (ii) a preferred return amount that is compounded annually, and (iii) a catch up provision whereby the General Partner (or equivalent) receives its share of distributions until they reach their target Carried Interest percentage. The Carried Interest distributed to the General Partner (or equivalent) would usually be subject to a potential clawback at the end of a Fund’s life if such General Partner (or equivalent) has received excess cumulative distributions, and at certain interim intervals as provided in the organizational documents. The General Partner (or equivalent) has the right, in its sole discretion, to periodically waive or reduce the Carried Interest for certain limited partners without exercising the right for other limited partners. Please refer to the Fund’s organizational documents for additional detail regarding Management Fees and Carried Interest. Catch up provision Investors in our Funds are subject to performance-based compensation, as described above in Carried Interest. The performance-based fees include a catch-up provision, which varies by Fund. Except for tax distributions, each Fund’s organizational documents generally follow a waterfall structure, with investors receiving a preferred return on capital contributions before any performance-based compensation is allocated to the general partner. Once the preferred return threshold is met, a catch-up is applied, allowing the general partner to receive a disproportionate portion of subsequent distributions until the GP has received an amount equal to their share of the carried interest. The specific terms of the catch-up provision vary by Fund and may impact the timing and amount of carried interest received by the General Partner. Because the catch-up allocation precedes the carried interest distribution, the structure may affect the timing and amount of investor returns. Investors should refer to each Fund’s Offering Documents, including the private placement memorandum and limited partnership agreement, for a detailed explanation of the applicable performance fee structure. Expenses Except for expenses borne directly by or on behalf of the Fund, as described in the Fund’s organizational documents, the General Partner and Lion Equity will assume all ordinary administrative and overhead expenses attributable to their activities, including salaries and compensation of the employees; expenses for administrative, clerical and related support services; office space and facilities, utilities and equipment. The Funds will typically bear all costs and expenses incurred in purchases, sales or exchanges made in connection with the Funds’ investment activities, including legal, audit and tax, consulting, administration, custodian, due diligence, and accounting fees and expenses. In the case that one or more co-investment vehicles are established to co-invest in a portfolio investment, then the Funds and any co-investment vehicles will share fees and expenses related to such portfolio investment. Lion Equity and its respective affiliates will from time to time, and in their sole discretion, incur fees, costs and expenses, including in connection with consummated and unconsummated transactions, on behalf of the Funds and/or one or more other investment vehicles managed by Lion Equity. To the extent practicable, any fees, costs and expenses that are incurred in connection with a consummated investment will be charged ... |

Item 7: Types of Clients Lion Equity provides investment advisory advice to pooled investment vehicles that operate as private investment funds. The securities issued by the Funds to their investors are not registered under the Securities Act because such securities are sold in transactions not involving a public offering (i.e., a private placement). Each prospective investor in a fund is required to represent, among other things, that they are (i) an “accredited fund Investor,” as such term is defined under Regulation D of the Securities Act of 1933 (as amended, the “1933 Act”); (ii) a “qualified client” as such term is defined under Rule 205-3 under the Advisers Act; or (iii) a “qualified purchaser” as such term is defined in Section 2(a)(51) of the Investment Firm Act of 1940, as amended. Each Fund’s minimum capital and investor qualification requirements are set forth in the Fund’s Offering Documents and each Investor is furnished with a copy of the partnership agreement (or equivalent - e.g., operating agreement) and other governing documents which detail the terms, conditions, and risks regarding the investment. Lion Equity typically imposes a minimum investment in connection with investing in the Funds, often in the range of $500,000 to $1,000,000, although such minimums may be waived at the discretion of the General Partner (or equivalent). |
