Item 5: Fees and Compensation General OceanSound provides investment advisory services to each of the Funds pursuant to separate investment advisory agreements (the “Agreements”). The Agreements for each Fund, along with specific Governing Fund Documents of each Fund, set forth in detail the fee structure relevant to each such Fund. The terms of the Agreements and the Governing Fund Documents are generally established at the time of the formation of the applicable Fund. OceanSound typically receives compensation from fees based on a percentage of assets under management, performance-based income allocations (“carried interest”) and certain other fees or expenses related to transactions (see below). Investors should review all fees charged by OceanSound, its affiliates, and others, as more fully described in the Governing Fund Documents, to better understand the amount of fees to be paid by the Funds and, indirectly, the Investors. Management Fee Generally, the Funds pay OceanSound an annual management fee (the “Management Fee”) for its provision of services. The Management Fee is payable quarterly in advance and typically based upon committed capital during the commitment period and on actively invested capital thereafter, in each case in accordance with the Governing Fund Documents, which typically provide for an annual rate of 2% of commitments during the Fund’s commitment period and 2% of actively invested capital thereafter. Certain co-investment vehicles do not charge Management Fees and OceanSound and its affiliates reserve the right to waive, reduce or calculate differently Management Fees for certain co-investment vehicles, investors (including employees), a limited number of strategic partners, advisors, consultants, and others as may be determined in OceanSound’s sole discretion. The “actively invested capital” used as the basis for calculating the Management Fee includes, with respect to each Limited Partner, such Limited Partner’s capital contributions in respect of all investments (including, in certain cases investment expenses and, for the avoidance of doubt, any portion of any investment purchased using indebtedness incurred by the Fund pursuant to any borrowing arrangements entered into directly by Fund), that, in all cases, have not been disposed of or suffered a significant decline in its value below the original cost basis of such investment, as determined by OceanSound. Certain transaction, consulting, advisory and other similar fees, together with placement fee expenses and organizational expenses in excess of certain thresholds set forth in the Governing Fund Documents, may be applied to reduce the Management Fee. Fee Base / Writedowns In general, following the commitment period, the Management Fee will be based upon actively invested capital in respect of portfolio investments that have not been the subject of a disposition or decline in value, and will be payable in advance based on the amount of such actively invested capital as of a Management Fee payment date, irrespective of any subsequent disposition or decline in value during such applicable period. The due date in the funding notice to the limited partners for the payment of the Management Fees may be on a date later than the Management Fee payment date for the applicable period, at which time one or more portfolio investments for which the Management Fee will be payable may have already been disposed of or declined in value. Once a portfolio investment has been disposed of or declined in value, the Adviser will not receive a Management Fee on the portion of the investment that has been disposed of or declined in value and the relevant general partners or special limited partners will not receive performance-based compensation until the investors receive distributions equal to their share of such investments. Part 2A of Form ADV Brochure | OceanSound Partners, LP March 31, 2026 Subject to a Fund’s Governing Fund Documents, the decision to make a disposition or a determination of a decline in value may be made with respect to an individual portfolio investment or a portfolio company as a whole, and the Adviser may dispose of, or determine a decline in value in respect of, all investments in a portfolio company or only certain investments made in a portfolio company. For example, certain investment rounds may hold securities that carry a liquidation preference or debt-like securities, which may not be disposed of or decline in value at the same time or in the same manner as common stock. In addition, under the Governing Agreements, the Adviser is afforded discretion to determine the timing and nature of certain transactions and characterize the proceeds received in respect thereof, and will at times have a conflict of interest in making such determinations. By way of example, in the event of a partial disposition of a portfolio investment, the Adviser has the ability to determine, in an equitable manner, the portion of the investment that has been disposed of and the capital contributions that are attributable to such portion. The Adviser may have an incentive to make these allocations in a way that benefits the General Partner’s ability to receive, or that increases the amount of, carried interest. In addition, at certain times and in certain circumstances involving transactions that do not entail the disposition of shares or other securities relating to a portfolio investment, such as certain recapitalizations, extraordinary dividends or similar events, the Adviser may elect and in the past has elected to treat all or any portion of the proceeds of such transactions as a return of capital (and potentially cause the General Partner to receive carried interest on such amounts) while not reducing the amount of actively invested capital upon which the Management Fee is calculated.

Item 7: Types of Clients OceanSound provides discretionary management and advisory services to the Funds directly, subject to the direction and control of the General Partner of each Fund, and not individually to the Limited Partners. Investors in the Funds may include, but are not limited to, high net worth individuals, pension plans (corporate, state and foreign), sovereign wealth funds, endowments, foundations, banks, pooled investment vehicles (e.g., funds-of-funds), trusts, estates or charitable organizations, and corporate or business entities. The minimum commitment for a Limited Partner is outlined in the Governing Fund Documents; however OceanSound maintains discretion to accept less than the minimum investment threshold. Investors will be required to meet certain suitability qualifications, such as being an “accredited investor” within the meaning set forth in Rule 501(a) of Regulation D under the Securities Act. Also, Investors will be required to make certain representations when investing in a Fund, including, but not limited to that (i) they are acquiring an interest for their own account, (ii) they received or had access to all information they deem relevant to evaluate the merits and risks of the prospective investment and that (iii) they have the ability to bear the economic risk of an investment in the Fund. Details concerning applicable Investor suitability criteria are set forth in the respective Governing Fund Documents and subscription materials, which are furnished to each Investor. The Funds may enter into separate agreements, commonly referred to as “side letters ”, or other similar agreements with a particular Limited Partner in connection with its admission to one of OceanSound’s private investment funds without the approval of any other Limited Partner, which would have the effect of establishing rights under or supplementing the terms of the applicable Fund’s Governing Fund Documents with respect to such Limited Partner in a manner more favorable to such Limited Partner than those applicable to other Limited Partners. Such rights or terms in any such side letter or other similar agreement may include, without limitation, terms relating to certain provisions of the investment terms, including excuse rights, management fees and performance based compensation, transfer restrictions, reporting, notice regarding the occurrence of certain regulatory or other specified events, sales commissions, portfolio transparency, minimum investment amounts, priority co-investment rights or targeted co- investment amounts, right to serve on the Fund’s Advisory Board, confidentiality protections and disclosure rights, modification of default remedies, the obligation of OceanSound to minimize certain adverse tax consequences to an investor in connection with the structuring of investments in portfolio companies and other more favorable investment terms. Furthermore, OceanSound may from time to time enter into strategic partnerships directly or Part 2A of Form ADV Brochure | OceanSound Partners, LP March 31, 2026 indirectly with Investors that commit significant resources to a range of products and investment ideas sponsored by OceanSound. Such arrangements typically include granting certain preferential investment terms to such investors. |
