Fees and Compensation — Form ADV Part 2A (4/1/2026) [Brochure]
FEES AND COMPENSATION (ITEM 5)

Management Fee

In consideration for the management services Platform provides to PPIC, Platform receives
a management fee (referred to as “Overhead Expense”) calculated based on 2% of PPIC’s
net asset value. Net asset value is equal to the value of PPIC’s gross assets minus its gross
liabilities, plus the aggregate amount of unfunded commitments to PPIC. The Overhead
Expense is payable quarterly in advance based on the most recent determination of net
asset value.

Platform does not receive a management fee from the Co-Investment.

Profits Interest

As more fully disclosed in the Companies’ disclosure documents, performance-based
compensation is payable by the Companies to Platform’s affiliates in the form of profit
sharing interest generally ranging between 17.5% to 20% of the Companies’ net profits, in
accordance with the Companies’ governing documents. Profits interests may be subject to
increases in connection with issuances and redemptions of each Company’s common or
preferred shares (“Shares”). For additional information, see “Profits Interests Increase”
under Item 10, below.

Other Income and Supplemental Compensation

PPIC’s investment activities may result in Other Income (as defined below) that is paid to
PPIC, Platform, and/or one or more of their respective affiliates. “Other Income” means
any (i) observer fees, advisory fees, financing fees, monitoring fees, directors’ fees or other
similar advisory fees from portfolio companies in respect of PPIC’s investments therein;
and (ii) commitment fees, break-up fees and litigation proceeds from transactions pursued
by PPIC but not consummated by PPIC (collectively, net of related, unreimbursed
expenses paid by the Investment Manager or its affiliates); provided, however, that Other
Income shall not include, unless otherwise determined by the Investment Manager in its
sole discretion, (A) any fees received directly or indirectly from a portfolio company,
potential portfolio company or other person, in each case in respect of any investment or
portion thereof made by any investor or potential investor (including in each case any co-
investment vehicle or co-investor), other than PPIC (regardless of whether directly or
through an investment fund or account managed by the Investment Manager or its
affiliates), in such portfolio company, potential portfolio company or other person, or the
capital provided or proposed to be provided thereby, or (B) any fees or other compensation
and expense reimbursements received by the members of PPIC’s advisory board, third

services to portfolio companies at the request of the PPIC Board of Directors or the
Investment Manager (such fees and compensation described in (A) and (B), collectively,

           regulatory expenses of the PPIC Board of Directors or the Investment Manager
           relating to the activities of PPIC and the Co-Investment, respectively);
   (ii)    out-of-pocket fees, costs and expenses of or arising from any litigation
           (including the amount of any judgment or settlement in connection therewith),
           including all amounts required to be paid in connection with the Companies’
           indemnification obligations or extraordinary expenses or liability relating to the
           affairs of the Companies; any taxes, fees or other governmental charges levied
           against the Companies and costs and expenses incurred in connection with any
           tax audit, investigation, settlement or review of the Companies;
   (iii)   costs and expenses incurred in relation to obtaining waivers, consents or
           approvals pursuant to the Companies’ operating agreements and costs and
           expenses of, and/or incidental to, the preparation of amendments,
           modifications, revisions or restatements to the documents of the Companies or
           related entities; and
   (iv)    all other out-of-pocket costs incurred in connection with the formation or
           administration of the Companies or otherwise that may be authorized by each

TYPES OF CLIENTS (ITEM 7)

Platform currently provides investment advice to the Companies, which are pooled
investment vehicles. The Companies are not registered and are not expected to be required
to register as an investment company under the Investment Company Act, in reliance on
an exception from the definition of “investment company” under the Investment Company
Act. Offerings of the Companies’ Shares are exempt from registration under the Securities
Act of 1933. Shares of the Companies are subject to restrictions on transferability and
resale.

Shares are privately offered only to institutional investors and high-net worth individuals,
in each case, who are “qualified purchasers” under the Investment Company Act. The
Companies typically impose a $1 million minimum investment in connection with the
purchase of its Shares, although such minimum may in some cases be waived at the
discretion of the PPIC Board of Directors or the Investment Manager. Investment
opportunities in the Companies have been, and may in the future be, offered to certain
qualified professionals of Platform as well as to qualified individuals who, although not
employees of Platform, have a pre-existing business relationship with Platform or
appropriate industry expertise. Platform and/or its affiliates make capital commitments to
the Companies at the same time and on the same terms as other investors in the Companies,
except as otherwise specified in the governing agreements of the Companies. All investors
in the Companies must be “qualified purchasers” or “knowledgeable employees” under the
Investment Company Act.
