Item 5 - Fees and Compensation
Annual-based Fees:
Sasco Capital is a fee-based investment adviser. Annual fees are calculated quarterly in
arrears, based on a percentage of the dollar value of assets under management at the end of
the quarter.
Part 2A of Form ADV: Sasco Capital, Inc. Brochure
The annual fee schedule for institutional accounts, for all three products, is as follows:
0.80% on the first $10,000,000.
0.50% on the next $40,000,000.
0.40% on the next $50,000,000.
0.35% on the next $200,000,000.
Negotiable thereafter.
Fees for international institutional accounts requiring international travel/servicing are negotiated
separately and can vary from the above fee schedule. Fees for individual high net worth clients
are negotiated at a minimum of 0.50% of assets under management. Fees for sub-advised
accounts and for 3(38) fund structures are negotiated separately and are not subject to the same
graduated fee schedule. Multiple accounts of one client relationship may be grouped together for
purposes of calculating the fee.
Fees are waived for in-house Sasco Capital Employee separate accounts.
Payment of Fees:
Fees are payable quarterly, in arrears, based upon the assets under management for a client’s
account, as of the last day of the preceding quarter, or, if requested by client, based on the
average of the three month-end market values for the quarters ending on March 31, June 30,
September 30 and December 31. If the client account closes during the quarter, the market value
of the last day the agreement was in effect will be included in the month- end average calculation.
Fees are billed directly to the client, on a quarterly basis, and are paid by the client to Sasco
Capital by check or bank wire.
Any Investment Management Agreement (IMA) between Sasco Capital and a client may be
terminated by either, at any time, without payment of any penalty, by giving the other party a
30-day written notice. In the event the IMA is in effect for only a portion of a quarter, then the
quarterly payment will be calculated as if the termination date of the IMA was the last business
day of such quarter, multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of business
days in the quarter for which the agreement was in effect, and the denominator of which is the
total number of business days in such quarter.
Additional Fees and Expenses:
Advisory fees paid to Sasco Capital do not include all of the fees a client would pay in connection
with our advisory services. Fees and expenses a client would pay directly to third parties, include,
but are not limited to:
• Brokerage commissions;
• SEC fees;

do we receive, directly or indirectly, any compensation from the sale of securities or investments
that are purchased or sold for a client’s account. As a result, we are a “fee only” investment
adviser and do not have any potential conflicts of interest that relate to any additional
compensation from a client.
