Item 5. Fees and Compensation
A. Our Firm, or an affiliate of our Firm, receives compensation from our clients in the
form of a management fee and performance-based compensation, based on the
performance of the clients’ investments, as set forth below.
Management Fees
In the case of BioPharma Credit Investments V (Master) LP, BioPharma Credit
Investments V (Offshore-A) LP, BioPharma Credit Investments V (Cayman) LP
and BioPharma Credit Investments V LP (collectively, “BioPharma V”), we are
paid a management fee quarterly in advance. The management fee is comprised of
two parts, including a fee based on capital commitments and a fee based on capital
contributions. The commitment-based fee is 0.25% of aggregate unfunded capital
commitments of investors in the feeder funds. The fee based on capital
contributions is equal to 1.25% of all unreturned capital contributions by the
investors in the feeder funds. Investors with capital commitments of greater than
$50 million are charged a contribution-based fee rate of 1%. We have in the past
and may agree to a further reduction of the management fee, in our sole discretion,
with respect to investors with capital commitments of $200 million or more.
In the case of the UK Trust, we are entitled to a management fee calculated on the
following basis: (1/12 of 1% of the net asset value on the last business day of each
calendar month in respect of which the management fee is to be paid (calculated
before deducting any accrued management fee in respect of such calendar month))
minus (1/12 of US$100,000). The management fee payable in respect of any quarter
will be reduced by an amount equal to the aggregate of: (i) the UK Trust’s pro rata
share of any transaction fees, topping fees, break-up fees, investment banking fees,
closing fees, consulting fees or other similar fees which we (or an affiliate) receives
in connection with transactions involving investments of the UK Trust; and (ii) any
carried forward amount from the previous quarter. The UK Trust’s pro rata share of
any transaction fees will be in proportion to the UK Trust’s economic interest in the
investment(s) to which such transaction fees relate.
Performance Compensation
Generally, for each of our Funds, the Firm or one of our affiliates receives
distributions of 10% of realized gains only after investors receive a return of capital
plus a 5% annualized internal rate of return on their unreturned capital
contributions, calculated from the date capital contributions were made until the
date of return.
Detailed information concerning our compensation and fees is contained in the
confidential private placement memorandum of each of our Fund’s feeder funds, as
applicable. Certain investors in our Funds are entitled to reductions in the
percentage of management fees that they are required to bear.
Generally, for the UK Trust, subject to the satisfaction of the performance
conditions set forth in proposals approved by shareholders at the general meeting
on June 29, 2018, in respect of each applicable performance period, we (or any of
our associates, as we direct) shall be entitled to receive: (i) 50% of the excess total
return relating to the performance period until we have been allocated amounts (i)
which, in aggregate, are equal to 10% of the total return relating to such
performance period; and (ii) thereafter, 10% of the excess total return relating to
the performance period.
B. The Firm generally deducts the management fees from Funds’ accounts quarterly
in advance. Performance based compensation is made to an affiliate of the Firm
concurrently with distributions to our Funds’ investors.
As noted above, with respect to the UK Trust, we are eligible to receive
performance fees after any performance period, as outlined in the prospectus of the
UK Trust.
C. Each Fund generally bears its own organizational expenses, investment and trading
expenses and accounting and administrative expenses, including, without
limitation:
• the management fee;
• legal, accounting, independent valuation and auditing expenses;
• printing and mailing costs;
• research costs and expenses;
• administrative expenses (including any fee payable to an administrator, if
appointed);
• government fees, taxes (if any);
• organizational expenses, offering expenses, any registration or filing fees;
• all investment expenses, including, without limitation, consultant and
professional advisory fees incurred in connection with the exploration of
investment opportunities, the costs of any liability insurance obtained on
behalf of Funds, Pharmakon or a manager, member, officer, director,
principal, employee or affiliate of Pharmakon or an affiliate of any of the
foregoing; and
• any extraordinary expenses.
Generally, investors in the UK Trust bear the burden initial expenses and
subsequent expenses, subject to the disclosures and as outlined in the prospectus of
the UK Trust.
The nature of our investment strategy typically does not result in brokerage
transactions and associated costs. However, for more information on our policies
regarding brokerage transactions and costs, please see Section 9: Brokerage
Practices.

Item 8. Method of Analysis, Investment Strategies and Risk of Loss
A. Investment Strategies
On behalf of its clients, Pharmakon seeks to make investments that provide current income
and/or capital appreciation, primarily in loans, notes, bonds or other debt securities or
instruments, which are purchased on the secondary market or directly from the issuer. Such
debt securities or instruments generally are expected to be secured or collateralized by the
assets and products of life science companies and the royalty collateral, as applicable,
derived from sales of one or more life sciences products. Pharmakon has the ability to
invest in equity on behalf of BioPharma V and the UK Trust. We may also cause our clients
to invest in priority tranches of royalty revenues of life sciences products, where royalty
revenue participation is subject to a capped preference and is secured or collateralized by
the royalty collateral.
Our clients invest in securities or instruments that pay interest on a floating or fixed basis
as well as securities or instruments that pay no cash interest during certain periods (pay-in-
kind securities or instruments) and securities or instruments that may pay additional
coupons or premiums depending on the actual sales of a particular life sciences product or
repayment of the securities or instruments. Such investments may include debt instruments
that are listed and unlisted, public and private, rated and unrated, as well as other
obligations, including loans, structured debt, convertible debt and financial derivatives.
Investments may take place in the primary or secondary markets or through direct,
principal to principal transactions with issuers. |
